RIP Mr. Lance Reddick . Sylens is a great character and won’t be the same without you.

badz149720d ago

I'm playing HZD right now. I'm in the part of the story where he always appears. wow, didn't know he passed away. RIP

blackblades719d ago

Wish I can tune the world out like you considering he been dead for awhile now and he a legend actor in movies and TV series while his death been broadcast on the news, everywhere else at the time.

mkis007719d ago

I really wish I could too...It's hard hearing so much sadness.

badz149719d ago

I kinda have to choose what medium to be on recently due to having too much work to deal with. I decided to be less online for more gaming time. Why do you think that I am just now playing HZD? Bought my copy at launch 6 years ago btw. Also playing Forbidden West too right now. So much to catch up.

Plus, not much to be missed online as of late as people are raving about the sub and russian news, right? Don't know what the fuss all about because I try not to be bothered to read more than the headlines right now.

blackblades719d ago

Paying attention to politics and Twitter eats at you. Ive tried blocking it out it only last a week. The negativity is a killer. The Russian thing is funny though.

autobotdan720d ago

Quantum Break game by Remedy also

Abear21719d ago (Edited 719d ago )

This game is so well made it’s ridiculous, haven’t even started the DLC I’m still too busy cleaning up side quests. RIP and this will surely throw the thirds story for a loop

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.

Christopher80d ago

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

darthv7280d 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.

Christopher79d 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.

Rancegamerx79d 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.

darthv7279d 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_cheese80d ago

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

gold_drake80d 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

Kyizen79d 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

pwnmaster3000100d 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.

ravens52100d 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.

isarai99d ago

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

lukasmain100d ago

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

northpaws100d ago

@Cacabunga

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

raWfodog99d ago

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

JEECE100d 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.

jznrpg100d 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.

isarai99d 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.
