Horizon: Zero Dawn: The Kotaku Review

For years now, the latest console generation has been coasting on the idea that more raw power means better games. The PS4’s newest exclusive, Horizon: Zero Dawn, is the rare game that delivers on that promise.

GG now has another truly great game under their belt.

ruefrak3030d ago

And here I thought I was the only one who really likes the Killzone series.

stuna13030d ago

Personally I liked all their KillZone entrys with KillZone 2 being the best in my opinion because of the melding of a good single player story combined with a solid multiplayer portion. Having GG move outside of that scope with Horizon has impressed me to their versatility.

_-EDMIX-_3030d ago

Why assume? This has nothing to do with killzone

subtenko3030d ago

there is aloooot of potential to be done with the killzone franchise withint he right direction. really we need an all out crazy fps battle with the helghast vs isa, gritty than bf1, massive, just massive. when u see the helghast army in the intro speech in kz2 you are like daaaaang. Just send them all out in a massive battle so grand it will make MAG look like a a 4x4 arena shooter

"To play Guerilla Games’ Horizon: Zero Dawn is to feel awe"

word

F0XHOUND3029d ago

Killzone was awesome, I don't feel it should ever be put next to CoD or Battlefield or compared, but in terms of an exclusive cinematic movie like experience, it was awesome. I feel like Killzone is more than just an FPS, I'd happily play a new Killzone game once every couple of years.

I am buying a PS4 Pro to go along with my 55" 4k HDR Vizio M-Series next week and this will be my first PS4 game! I can't wait! Putting the X1 and my 47" Vizio in my bedroom.

PsylentKiller3029d ago

The short version:
I like your tv. I am prepared for HZD. GOOD DEAL AT GameStop. My friends switched to PS4. I spent way too much money. Horizon: Zero Dawn is up there with The Last of Us.

The long version:
I love vizio, but I just recently converted to all samsung for 4k hdr. The vizio, I believe has 8-bit hdr vs. Samsung's 10-bit. That was last year, though, I'd still double check to see if you're fine with 8-bit. It all may be bullshit numbers as I'm not sure I can see a difference between the two. The input lag on the vizio, though, is phenomenal.

As for HZD, I just prepared my den and living room the same way. Two months ago, I bought my samsung 65 ks8300 for the LR. Den got a 50 JS7000. X1s for both but a ps4 pro for the LR and the den stayed with the ps4. Holding off on a second pro until I can compare them myself.

Just watched Kinda Funny's review today and immediately traded in one ps4 for a pro. $175 trade in for just the console at Gamestop. The deal is good till the 23rd if anyone's interested.
My friends on xbox just jumped ship to ps4 a few weeks ago (they said it was because of MS cancelling all those games). So, that kind of helped with the pro purchase. Gotta show them up, at least until they get theirs. Lol. Almost wish I would have went with Sony first this generation. All games digital and nearly 100 games on xbox. Sony has always been only for exclusives since the ps1 days. Don't know why I didn't go all in with Sony, considering how many amazing exclusives they have. Should have been reversed and only bought exclusives for xbox.
Goddamn, HZD looks amazing.

Aaaaaaaannnd....I'm done.

Thank you and Good Night

Cryptcuzz3029d ago

Welcome to the family!

I'm sure you'll love your new TV, PS4 Pro and Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Can't wait for the game myself.
Trying to beat Nioh at the moment before it's official release, so I can fully immerse in the game.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi3029d ago

And here I am stuck still stuck with my 37 inch soyo from college that only does 720p. I need a new tv. And a ps4 pro.

datboyscoop3029d ago (Edited 3029d ago )

Nice! I just got me a 49" samsung ks8000...the vizio m series was the runner up....just need to upgrade to a ps4 pro now...I've held myself from playing certain games until I upgrade.

datboyscoop3029d ago

I recently purchased the samsung ks8000. Now need to upgrade to a pro.. held my self back from playing certain games because of that .

"With Horizon, GG is finally let loose to show us how much more they’re capable of, and what they’re capable of is jaw-dropping."

Does koraku not use a rating system?

KingKionic 3030d ago

Last comment was meant as a praise not as a knock on Guerrilla Games. There going to better things now. Just want to address this for the record.

Nah. Killzone is trash next to horizon.

Let it sleep in a chamber.
AGREE 0DISAGREE 1


You been downplaying Killzone all day. Hell you been downplaying Horizon for past few weeks.
Don't you have any BC games to play on your console of choice? 🤓

KingKionic 3030d ago (Edited 3030d ago )

To say they should focus on there new series isnt downplaying.

I havent been downplaying horizon for weeks.

Need to stop making stuff up on n4g.

Carry along.

Great thing about comments you can view all of my comment history for weeks.

Lets put it to the test.

Show me which ones have downplaying of horizon zero dawn.

PsylentKiller3029d ago

Hey, some of those BC games are great. Although most don't stand the test of time. It's hard playing BF1 then switching to BF:BC2.
Just finished downloading Killzone:SF again. Want to have where they were before HZD fresh in my mind when I boot it up for the first time.

skydragoonityx3030d ago

Game of the year contender and its only february

greywolf393030d ago

Not a contender, Winner BOI. Honestly, I dont see any game that will top this

deafdani3030d ago (Edited 3030d ago )

Uhhh... Horizon looks superb, but...

- Nioh
- Nier Automata
- Zelda Breath of the Wild
- Super Mario Odyssey
- Mass Effect Andromeda
- Resident Evil 7
- God of War (IF it releases this year)

All of these are (or will be) solid contenders for GOTY, for various reasons. Again, Horizon looks superb, but there's definitely very stiff competition this year. Also, we don't know what surprise hits await us yet.

DoubleTTB223030d ago

We can't forget about Red Dead Redemption 2

_-EDMIX-_3030d ago

@deaf-

"- Nioh
- Nier Automata
- Zelda Breath of the Wild
- Super Mario Odyssey
- Mass Effect Andromeda
- Resident Evil 7
- God of War (IF it releases this year)"

Lol no bud, RE7 is a great game, it's not getting GOTY or Nier lol

Wtf?

No Buddy, it's a easy call right now that Horizion is likely taking the majority of those awards

Not Mass Effect or Nier lol, this will be great game's, but Horizion is on another level.

I just don't see any game this year getting more award's.

Even God Of War which I would be shocked if it got more award's.

There is a lot of great games releasing this year don't get me wrong but a lot of those games in my personal opinion I do not see getting more Game of the Year Awards just because I like to Yakuza and I really enjoyed Kingdom Hearts 2.8 does it mean I see either of those games receiving more Game of the Year Awards than this game especially looking at the numerous perfect scores that just landed for this game

EddieNX 3029d ago

It's very likely that Mario and Zelda will get better meta scores as well as many other games. Take nothing away from Horizon its obviously great, but way too early to claim its the winner.

zielocz3k3030d ago

There are already 3 GOTY games = Horizon, Nioh and RE7 and there are plenty more to come :)

DragonDDark3029d ago

I don't care what anyone says... Persona 5 is gonna be GOTY for me.

IamTylerDurden13030d ago

Nioh is a goty contender as well, crazy that both are Sony exclusives.

mezati993030d ago (Edited 3030d ago )

that moment when you realize that every single PS4 exclusive released this year is GOTY contender

XanderZane3030d ago

I think there will be a LOT of GOTY contenders this year. Horizon seems to be one of them. It's a Day One purchase for me.

Sony Announces Ghost of Tsushima Anime, Helldivers 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn Movies

Sony is hosting its press conference at the start of CES 2025 in Las Vegas. As usual, PlayStation took the spotlight during the presentation, but not in the way you'd expect.

I can’t even imagine a helldivers 2 movie.
Hopefully they do it good

Cacabunga152d ago

Next is Horizon card game… the milking is unreal

Grilla152d ago

Yeah but with terminator style bots and the Illuminate. More potential imo.

mkis007152d ago

They better not be afraid of leaning into it hard.

S2Killinit152d ago

Im most excited for the Ghost anime.

vTuro24152d ago

I was about to say, they can just copy Starship Troopers homework and change it up a bit so the teacher won't notice.

SeTTriP151d ago

How when the game is literally inspired by a movie?

Goodguy01153d ago

Lmao, sony making more shows, films, and remasters this generation.

Lightning77153d ago

Yet let's ignore Ghost of Yotei, Intergalactic, wolverine and Santa Monica's New IP.

Yep all TV shows and remasters alright.....

Hereandthere152d ago

Ghost of Yotei looks like a ps 4 pro game at best, intergalactic only showed 4 seconds of in game footage, despite being in development for more than 4 years, wolverine might be good, Santa Monica's New IP was just for you to fill space and cover for sonys lack of 1st party games.

DarXyde152d ago

Remasters aren't games?

Didn't realize the same folks making games are also making films and shows (which Sony actually has been making before games, but ok).

Silly comment aside , Ghost of Tsushima as an anime sounds grand. Don't care too much about Horizon or Helldivers media, but it sounds cool to get more Jin.

Army_of_Darkness152d ago (Edited 152d ago )

You do realize Sony has a completely separate movies and tv series division right? They are simply catching on and actually taking advantage of their popular gaming ips

Redemption-64152d ago

Naaaaa, you are supposed to pretend they don't have a completely separate movie/TV division

Lightning77152d ago

@Here uh huh Right watch Ghost Of Yotei get the highest score on meta this year. ND doesn't miss so I expect Intergalactic to be a damn near Master piece, insomniac making Wolverine so you know they'll knock it out of the park. Santa Monica will probably announce their new IP this year and it'll be epic. It's about track record and all these studios have great track records. You wanna argue facts go ahead I'll win.

Lightning77153d ago

I was hoping for live action Ghost but an anime will be just fine.

Grilla152d ago

Last I heard the guy that made the John Wick movies was working on it.

Lightning77152d ago

Now that's gonna freakin dope.

-Foxtrot152d ago

I really hope they get the guy who played Jinn to play him in the film.

Elda152d ago

If true then there's hope.

gigoran8152d ago

out of all the titles they could have chosen, those 3 could actually make decent movies.

-Foxtrot152d ago (Edited 152d ago )

They’ve tried a Horizon series and it fell apart, what makes them think a film is going to work with a shorter run time.

I was hoping the GoT series would focus on Jinn after the main game.

S2Killinit152d ago

Im not sure about the show or why it allegedly fell apart, but the story in Horizon is pretty cool. I can see people enjoying it.

Michiel1989150d ago

they probably recorded some footage for it and now want to make a quick buck out of the remnants. You know what they say: fail once, rip your audience off.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic195d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23195d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1195d ago (Edited 195d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger186d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.
