Horizon: Zero Dawn may be the best new IP this generation

Graphically it looks fantastic. It also has some interesting gameplay mechanics. However, it's FAR too early to claim 'New IP of the generation'. Guerrilla doesn't exactly have the best track record. Let's wait and see :) Don't get too hyped people, you'll only be disappointed. Wait with anticipation but don't expect wonders. If it does deliver, at least you'll be pleasantly surprised. Hope for the best but don't expect that :)

Do they have a bad track record or something? I have seen quite a few people say this and was just wondering what they meant. I know KZ: Shadowfall scored in the low 70s....which still isn't bad by the game. But I am sure both KZ2 and KZ3 both scored above 80 heck if I remember correctly KZ2 scorbed in the 90s. I even think KZ: Mercenary got a good score if I am not mistaken. So why do people keep saying they don't have the best track record?

OT:

The game looks great and definitely has me very intrigued so far!

As someone else said, they're games have been getting progressively worse (although Horizon certainly looks to change that). That's not my concern however. Graphics and gameplay look fine here... but for a single player game, GG don't have the best track record with characters and telling story. That is my main concern over anything else. If track record holds true, you can expect a grpahically amazing game with some cool gameplay set in an expansive world... but the characters will be dull and boring and the story will be equally of the same quality. BUT. That might not be the case (hope for the best). Given this isn't 'Nazi's in space', they already have a better foundation for characters and story. Let's see :)
