All I want is New Game + and I think not having access to the Sunwings attacks is a wasted opputunity.

mkis0071141d ago (Edited 1141d ago )

I still think the tremortusk in the room is what we could have done with the sunwings without the ps4. They feel kinda slow, cant wait for 3.

Elda1141d ago

I just really started playing for about 2 weeks now & I'm already 30 hrs in & I've only covered 1/3 of the map. There's so much to do,I'm enjoying every minute of this beautiful game!

PitbullMonster1141d ago

Took me over 60h to open the full map. Now I'm 80h in the game and there are still many things to do like the races, boardgames, arena fights and upgrades for the weapons and armors. The game worth every single penny.

Double_O_Revan1141d ago

I finally got Platinum yesterday. Clocked in at 103 hours.

SullysCigar1141d ago

That seems a good time for the platinum. I'll be getting it at some stage for sure. Just need to find the time.

Storm231140d ago

Took me 94 hours to plat. Love this game

I have not encountered shimmering. What I have encountered was the screen going black like it was loading then the game would resume. Experienced this while flying the sunwing and it happens time to time when entering a different zone.
Despite the above niggle, completed the game in 98 hours but did not do the races and only fully upgraded the Nora Valiant outfit and the deathseeker bow fully (and a few rare weapons).

Fantastic game cant wait for the sequel.

I Watched the Leaked Horizon AI Tech Demo Through My Fingers

Maybe I'm turning into "old man yells at cloud."

So lame, a tech demo was conducted to test new technology. This is nothing new; they've been doing this since the 1980s. There have been thousands of tech demos that led to nothing. That said, AI is here to stay, and it will eventually find its way into games in one form or another. It's time to stop the overly dramatic reactions and accept reality.

Christopher86d ago

Talk about a 180 midway through your argument. Perhaps that 180 is why people are talking about it?

darthv7286d ago

What he said was not wrong though... AI is here and being used more and more is different industries. Its not like it is going away anytime soon.

Christopher86d ago

@darth: Where did I say he was wrong other than expressing that it's this thinking that people are talking about it? He complained about people talking about a tech demo being shown to the public as an expression of AI's use being popularized and then proved it with his own words. I didn't say they were wrong, only it only gives credence to those who are worried about the popularization and use of AI in the industry to replace actual actors.

Rancegamerx86d ago

I can see what you mean. What I am getting at is just because they did a tech demo with Aloy using AI to voice doesn't meam that this particular tech will ever actually be used. Although I personally think it will, if we can get voices to sound more natural and real. Unless it's stopped by voice actors.

darthv7286d ago

that is the current situation. voice actors are 'voicing' their concern over the use of AI. im sure you have heard those TV commercials where you can tell its an AI voice. But as things improve... there will be a point where nobody will be able to tell the difference.

Mr_cheese86d ago

Thegamer are quickly highlighting themselves as a website full of over the top BS

gold_drake86d ago

there is this website from a bunch of devs who developed a more enhanced AI conversational voice thing, where u can talk to them.

i did for 10 minutes and it freaked me out how real it sounded. it did glitch a few times but damn. the, in real time, chatter and response was amazing and frightening at the same time ha

Kyizen86d ago

One of the original Toy Story developers summed it up nicely. Basically when they were doing Toy Story people were shocked you are going from hand drawn art to computers but now no one blinks an eye and most if not all anime is 'drawn' on computers. But he also stated this didn't replace artist but just gave them a new tool to use. Now with AI the author is saying it will replace writing but it won't, using it to have dynamic conversations with NPCs or chatter as the character explores the world will avoid that repetitive banter. You will still need writers to craft a good story and make a compelling character(s).

Horizon Forbidden West Struck the Perfect Balance of Tribes for Horizon 3

Horizon Forbidden West may have struck the right balance after adding several new tribes to the series, something which Horizon 3 should try to keep.

No horizon 3 i beg you Sony .. enough of this series already

pwnmaster3000106d ago

It literally only had 2 main games and 2 dlc.
Sure it had some spin off but others have more
Halo
Gears
Elder scroll
Uncharted
God of war
Gta
Etc.
Game isnt done yet and just because your tired of it doesn’t mean everyone is.

ravens52106d ago

Exactly. (*All following #s are slightly exaggerated*) There's like 36 CODs. 16 Assassin's Creed. 25 Final Fantasies. 80 Maddens. I hate when we're on the 3rd iteration of a game and people say this.

isarai106d ago

We've had 2 main games, 2dlcs, a vr spinoff, a lego spinoff and soon to be GAAS spinoff

lukasmain106d ago

Why not? It's popular. They're great critically acclaimed games. It need a 3rd game.

northpaws106d ago

@Cacabunga

Only speak for yourself, I want to know how the story ends.

raWfodog106d ago

Same here. I'm enjoying the story. I want to see what happens when Nemesis arrives.

JEECE106d ago

It all depends on if it's actually a massive step forward or if it just feels like an iterative sequel. There's a lot of revisionist history now about how "mid" Horizon has always been, but people weren't saying that when Zero Dawn came out-people were pretty much universally into it. The major hit against it at the time was that it came out too close to Breath of the Wild.

The problem with Forbidden West is that it took five years and it was just an iterative sequel. Iterative sequels can be fine, or even great, but when five years pass and a new generation of consoles comes out, people expect a big jump, and they didn't get it. Stuff that worked in 2017 felt tired by 2022.

3 can't just be Forbidden West with slightly better graphics. It needs to actually be a meaningful leap.

Im looking forward to the 3rd game. I'd like that to be the last one though. New IP after would be ideal.

jznrpg106d ago

Took me a little while to get into Forbidden West because I was playing on hard but it was really damn good once I got into a groove.

I want to see the ending of this trilogy so hopefully it’s not too far out. Hopefully whoever plays Sylens can do the character justice.

isarai106d ago

I dunno, i LOOOOVED Zero Dawn, but i wanted Forbidden West to be over by like the halfway point. It's an absolutely gorgeous game but damn was it buggy for a while after release, and the enemies and combat felt so janky and unbalanced compared to the first.
