Oh yeah ! The soundtrack of Horizon Zero Dawn is beautiful crafted.

Letthewookiewin2913d ago

I bought it too. It's really amazing.

pinkcrocodile752913d ago

Horizon is pretty good, and the music is balanced, with both panpipe hint and even a didgeridoo squirrelled away in there for good measure.

HOWEVER, as good as it is in my opinion the most stunning soundtrack for any game this generation goes to Gareth Coker and Ori and The Blind Forest.

That is the only score I've heard that genuinely bring you to tears, and the orchestration is genuinely sublime. It deserved the golden joystick for it back in 2015/2016

Spurg2913d ago

.....ok.....so horizon beat neir automata and persona 5.

Asuka2913d ago

I agree. As good as HZD is Nier Automata and Persona 5 had much better OSTs imo its not even close. But to each their own i guess.

sampson31212913d ago

well a panel of people said you're wrong. i say you're wrong, but that's the beautiful thing about opinions.

Asuka2913d ago (Edited 2913d ago )

@sampson woah dude why so defensive? I never said anyone was wrong. I did say everyone has their own opinion...

Nitrowolf22913d ago

@sampson

What crawled up ur butt?

Personally, i agree. I thought nier ost was better

guyman2913d ago

Yes100% agree with you. Persona 5 and nier automata are the two games with the best musical scores this generation (along with sunset overdrive) horizon's soundtrack is awesome but it doesnt stand out like in persona or nier

Razzer2913d ago

I thought Persona 5 was on another level with its soundtrack. Probably the best I've ever heard.

And no, sampson3121, the fact that it didn't win the award doesn't change that.

guyman2913d ago

Sampson

Cool, but i dont care. They're all fantastic games i've had the privellege of playing

Dark_Knightmare22913d ago (Edited 2913d ago )

I disagree aloys theme itself is better then anything in neir automata or persona and I wouldn't even include sunset overdrive in the list that game was filled with generic punk rock tunes that weren't anything memorable

Why o why2913d ago

I would give the nod to persona 5 too but that was a 2016 game.

guyman2913d ago

Good one, i forgot it officially released last year

Spurg2913d ago

It launched in Japan in 2016 and the west in 2017.

-Foxtrot2913d ago

Well Aloys theme is pretty great :3

UCForce2913d ago

Homecoming and City on the Mesa are also great.

lolosgolos2913d ago

Probably the only award it will win

G20WLY2913d ago

Well, no, because it's already won awards..

Kallisti2913d ago

It already won awards at the 2015 and 2016 Game Critics Awards

lolosgolos2913d ago

The same consolation award? It was at E3 twice and has never won best of show #smh.

WeAreLegion2913d ago

It's going to win a few GOTY awards, as well.

Asuka2913d ago

Nah HZD will get many more awards. From its concept to the graphics it has a lot going for it

I'm just as excited as I was yesterday. (Knock On Wood)

Dark_Knightmare22913d ago

Lol yeah no it will win some goty awards also

trooper_2913d ago

Jealousy isn't good for your health.

lolosgolos2912d ago

My kid brother was finishing HZD 3days ago. Hes enjoying Mafia 3 more from what i can tell. Taste and jealousy are two different things

trooper_2912d ago

My aunt's grandmother enjoys Gears of War more than Killzone 2./s

See, I can make up stories too!

guyman2910d ago

Horizon is the type of game fankids love to hate

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

Cacabunga174d ago

Next is Horizon card game… the milking is unreal

Grilla174d ago

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

mkis007174d ago

They better not be afraid of leaning into it hard.

S2Killinit174d ago

Im most excited for the Ghost anime.

vTuro24174d 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.

SeTTriP173d ago

How when the game is literally inspired by a movie?

Goodguy01174d ago

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

Lightning77174d ago

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

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

Hereandthere174d 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.

DarXyde173d 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_Darkness174d ago (Edited 174d 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-64174d ago

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

Lightning77174d 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.

Lightning77174d ago

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

Grilla174d ago

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

Lightning77174d ago

Now that's gonna freakin dope.

-Foxtrot174d ago

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

Elda174d ago

If true then there's hope.

gigoran8174d ago

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

-Foxtrot174d ago (Edited 174d 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.

S2Killinit174d 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.

Michiel1989172d 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.

piroh217d ago

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic217d 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.

Storm23217d 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.

lockedongamer1217d ago (Edited 217d 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!

Chocoburger207d ago

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