It didn't need it to tell one of the best Science Fiction yarns I have experienced in the medium.

Retard2861d ago

True, and something about her being witnessed as a child the first hour of the game - having a love interest isnt a priority nor interesting.

Dee_912861d ago

I didn't even notice there was no romance whatsoever which in itself shows how great the story is to me.

Why does she even NEED a love interest, to begin with? She is a fine character on her own and adding a needless love story on the side would add nothing to the plot of the game. Look at Wonder Woman, needless love story ruined the movie with many scenes that did nothing to drive the plot forward. I'm sure if there was GG would have done a good job making it relevant to her character and how it would add more stakes to the plot but I'm glad they didn't.

LOGICWINS2861d ago

The game didn't need a love story, but I would've liked one given that GG implied that there's an interest between Varl and Aloy.

rainslacker2861d ago (Edited 2861d ago )

Her building that relationship with the one guy who's sister was the captain of the sun king's guard felt more natural than any kind of love interest. It was a relationship of respect, which was more pertinent to the story itself. Her travelling around on a quest doesn't really lend itself to building an intimate relationship. I think the game did good in building the character, and not every character needs a love interest to seem human.

Fishy Fingers2861d ago

I'm happy to play as a female but I don't need/want a male (or female) NPC chatting me up thanks.

frostypants2861d ago (Edited 2861d ago )

I loved how a couple of NPCs in HZD were clearly hitting on Aloy. She just doesn't know how to interpret it. It added a lot to her character and how naive she is towards society.

Nivekki2861d ago (Edited 2861d ago )

No, it was because she had a strong feminine attitude and didn't need men. A man was only a test tube away in the technology she was uncovering.

FITSniper2861d ago

@Nivekki It had nothing to do with feminism. It had to do with her growing up isolated and not being accustomed to her being courted. Plus she had other things on her mind and to do. Romance wasn't a priority.

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

Cacabunga112d ago

Next is Horizon card game… the milking is unreal

Grilla112d ago

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

mkis007112d ago

They better not be afraid of leaning into it hard.

S2Killinit112d ago

Im most excited for the Ghost anime.

vTuro24112d 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.

SeTTriP111d ago

How when the game is literally inspired by a movie?

Goodguy01113d ago

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

Lightning77113d ago

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

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

Hereandthere112d 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.

DarXyde112d 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_Darkness112d ago (Edited 112d 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-64112d ago

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

Lightning77112d 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.

Lightning77113d ago

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

Grilla112d ago

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

Lightning77112d ago

Now that's gonna freakin dope.

-Foxtrot112d ago

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

Elda112d ago

If true then there's hope.

gigoran8112d ago

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

-Foxtrot112d ago (Edited 112d 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.

S2Killinit112d 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.

Michiel1989110d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic155d 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.

Storm23155d 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.

lockedongamer1155d ago (Edited 155d 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!

Chocoburger146d ago

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

Looks much better. I really like the upgrade to the character models epsecially and the robot dinos too.

GotGame818176d ago

Not worth the money. It isn't like remastered games going from PS3 to PS4, or 360 to Xbox One. Sorry, but those jumps in graphics were extremely noticeable.

REDGUM175d ago

To before it's only 10 bucks i hear if you have the original game. It's worth the tenner in my opinion.
If you didn't have the original you can pick that up for 5 or 10 bucks too on marketplace.

GotGame818175d ago (Edited 175d ago )

You are right, my bad. I didn't know the remaster was only $10 for the update. I thought Sony was pulling a TLOU again. That was ridiculous.

Exvalos169d ago

Its only 10.00......and if you dont have the base game ive seen it in stores as low as 9.99. At max its 19.99. Just admit u broke.
