Mathijs de Jonge has commented on Horizon Zero Dawn being released so close to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."
I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.
but still considered the best of the seties.
i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.
25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.
Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.
With the details we now have in terms of features and pricing, I don't think there are any significant concerns remaining - just that perhaps that the term 'remastered' in the title is a little misplaced. Essentially, what we're dealing with here is broadly equivalent to a release along the lines of Death Stranding: Director's Cut. It's the original game with a dash of extra content and additional visual modes that tap into the power of PlayStation 5.
Bloodborne, Infamous, Killzone, Resistance, Puppeteer, Jak and Daxter etc are all better choices
Even a full on remake of Drakes Fortune I’d take
Well I want a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster especially if it's an upgrade to Forbidden West Graphics and Animation.
Nope. But HD remasters are an easy cash grab that the masses shovel cash for because while they complain about remakes, they still buy them
My thoughts on this is do we need Richard Leadbetter's or Digital Foundry's opinion on anything........ever? I know I don't they do nothing for me and never have.
The best prices we've found this Black Friday for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom as well as the previous game, Breath of the Wild.
I don't think they'll affect each other much, for a variety of reasons.
Both look like they'll sell gangbusters.
I like Horizon because it feels like a mix of Turok, and a futuristic robo-dino version of Far Cry Primal.
Both very good things in my book.
I like Zelda because, well...jesus, where would I even start without ending up bypassing the character limit for posts?XD
Being able to capture and register your own horses, hang-gliding, cooking, climbing as far as your stamina can take you with no need for specific pre-designated grip spots, overworld bosses, 900 Korok Seed puzzles, over a hundred big and small Shrines on top of main dungeons, heart pieces / containers to find, rare ingredients, stamina upgrades, giant claymores and hammers, new races to meet...
The list goes on and on, so I'll just stop there.XD
People shouldn't be suprised if Horizon outsells BOTW. The reason? The PS4 has a bigger install base, and Sony will advertise this title very well. Nintendo's doing the same for Switch, though it has a non-existing market (which is only launching with 2 million consoles for March 3), and the Wii U version doesn't seem like it'll be the top selling one (though I may be wrong).
Yes Horizon is a new IP and Zelda is an old critically acclaimed franchise, though numbers do play a factor. 50 million (and up for the PS4), while 13 million + 2 (Switch's launch allotment).
Breath of the wild will be the better game
Had my money saved from Horizon Zero dawn months ago and will sooner or later get the switch for zelda.
It's exciting that both awesome titles are releasing only a week apart from one another
