That's cool to know, it would be awesome if Horizon was able to be one of those rare Western games that can have a decent sized audience in Japan.
What's so silly about artificial machine life developing over 1000 years into something that looks like it fits in with nature? It's logical evolution of various stages of tech into what we see. The herd has a purpose, the Grazer are collecting a resource and the other machines support that and while there are big machines that standout from nature, they're just a part of every day life a bit over 1000 years from now as any other animal life is. The way this game is structured seems very believable within the framework of a far off in the future Earth. |
There's nothing silly about AI, what is silly to me are dinobots.
There is no reason for anything artifical to fit the nature, whether you're AI or tech-level human you will use most efficient designs - that means collectors would be way more efficient than those deer-bots (or whatever they are) and guards would be certainly way more efficient than that rex-bot that is defeated by puny human with crossbow. (hint: any moving platform armed with even contemporary 20-30mm auto-cannons and machine guns would shread her to pieces)
So yeah, they are way too silly for me, apart from devs going "let's make Monster Hunter - now let's make some story so that monsters are robots".
But considering that I think there's also "now let's have crossbows, cause Katniss is cool, oh and we should really have that touchy-feely Lara Croft Reboot alike voice (with same level of yapping)", just ignore me - this game is so, so far away from what I thought would be Sony's first in-house WRPG. Honestly, when it comes to Horizon, just ignore me.
