It is the benefit of 1st parties with access to more resources and possibly higher budgets. They makes games at least ibn part, to sell the hardware. So I suspect Sony, in particular, has a lower KPI in terms of profits for 1st party games than 3rd parties can afford to have. Not that Sony will be happy with a game making a loss...The Order 1886, and they will kill a franchise that performs badly. If Horizon ZD doesn't make much profit Sony's still going to be pleased with how it has significantly enhanced the PS4's reputation and quality of game library. So GG will get to make another game in that franchise. 

I liked the order 1886. I wish sony takes another risk with it and makes a sequel or an expansion, Id be happy with that, the game looked great already.

I liked it too, enough that I want SOny to take the risk and make a sequel. But we seem to be too small in number for Sony to be willing to take that risk.

it looks so good that it seemed scripted to you, you just got blown away when you saw it 

Except the game IS heavely scripted so I guess the way the ''physic engine'' works has probably more to do with the work they put into the animation of every detail on the screen which give the illusion of an advanced physic engine.

Kinda like how Tom Cruise movies give the illusion that he's taller than his female co-stars. It still works, who cares what tricks they use to get there?

I crashed through this market and whole down hill race many times, because it was tons of fun to see the destruction playing out differently each time.

Nothing scripted about it. It let me drive back up and make more mess (within a time limit, it was a chase after all)

Another part where I couldn't stop playing with the water flowing around the car

Zelda kinda ruined every other game with its level of detail in its physics.

People who say that or that either it or horizon have slugish gameplay have ovbiously not played the game.

I'm not against your physics arguement but that rock slide looks scripted.

While the graphics on UC4 are simply stunning, unfortunately for the gameplay Is very outdated for me, run here take cover kill guard 987, run forward take cover kill guard 988 etc. Think I got just part the art gallery level and then gave up. Not tried Horizon dawn yet, but after watching a BOTW comparison not rushing for it I'll wait for it to go on sale. From the vids I've seen though graphically it looks fantastic.

How do you want a cover shooter to play like?

I don't really care how a cover Shooter plays like because I've been playing cover based shooters since at least 2006 man  so bored of them, just like I'm totally done with FPS, overdone and boring, but I've been gaming since atleast 1995.

Yes, rockslides are a pretty big part of the game once you're in the high mountain ranges.

Horizon zero dawn has that effect... it leaves you thinking "how did they do this?".

Lots of baked details and clever art.
The Decima game engine has shown it's a real power house when games are made it's way though. That can't be denied.

Take Uncharted 4 for instance. There are areas where artists just haven't given much attention to any details, some shadowing, geometry and texture work is clearly sub-par and could look last-gen.
For example... The Lemons.

Yeah, I cannot wait to see how that partnership works out. Personally, you dont even need an upgraded console to see how great horiozn looks, but the 4k boost is undoubtedly stunning.

If only it was actually running at 4k though... Sadly only the PC has such power.

John2290 said:

But it lacks the style and art work in my opnion, they went for to much of a realistic approach.

The Photogrammetry in Battlefront really does stand alone on a high-end PC, I feel Horizon and Uncharted just don't reach those same heights.
That's not to say Horizon and Uncharted are bad looking games, they aren't. Just that there is another *level* of graphics.

COKTOE said:

Yep. And now that the risk of creating a new IP has been taken, and proven successful, the artists collective known as Microsoft is gearing up for a "next gen AAA game 'similar' to Horizon Zero Dawn. It's just like the old saying, "if you can't buy somebody's good idea, copy it".

All games take inspiration from other games in one way or another.
Open World games predate Horizon.

Lawlight said:

Looks drab compared to the Horizon screenshots. Can you adjust the settings for the artstyle?

It's supposed to look hyper-realistic so it sits in with the movies visually. And it achieves that.

eva01beserk said:

I would rather see any other location. Deserts for me seem so unimaginative. No matter what they will always look the same. Look t that rock, it looks just like this other rock, hold on this rock is slighty bigger, increddible this one has a crack.

There are other locations.

Horizon was like a beautiful sexy woman you see on the street. You start to fantasize how sex with her might be. But then it turns out that she is only a virgin who has no idea of ​​sex. But hey. She looked good.

She has no interest. Heh
