Horizon Zero Dawn: Best graphic !! Who will be the graphics king later?

[KBG29]

Horizan is absolutely beautiful. I just platinumed the game the other day, and it was by far the best experience I have had since The Last Of Us.

Graphically it is quite impressive overall, but it does have things that need work.

On the positive side, the art direction is phenominal. Everything looks great. The game has the image quality of a AAA linear title in an open world which makes for a lot stop and enjoy moments. The enemies are some of the best in the history of gaming for me. The world lacks some interaction, but the interaction with the enemies, and the animation of Aloy and enemies during battle, is all unmatched by any other open world title.

On the negative side, PS4 just does not have the RAM or Processing power to do the draw distance justice. This game has a ton of fog when you look in Valleys or up at giant mountains. The animations (mostly facial/lip sync) of Side characters and even some main story characters are akward. The lack of interaction/physics/distruction is another area that has been sacrificed for other things.

At the end of the day, though this game does something amazing. Not only does look phenomenal, but it plays phenomenonal. This is something that I did not like about GTA5 and The Witcher 3, both look great, but the gameplay felt terrible. Horizan on the other hand offers amazing gameplay wrapped in a massive and beautiful open world. In my book, this has set the new standard for open world titles. Now just to see how insane Red Dead 2 is with Rockstar building from the ground up for PS4 and XBO.
