Alright got a refund for Horizon Zero Dawn on Steam. Might get it when it's on sale and gets fixed. From the hour and a half I played with it, it hovered around 40-60fps mostly in the 50 range with my 3900X + 1080 at 3440 x 1440 with DF's optimized settings. The visuals doesn't really blow me away. The pre-rendered cutscenes look nice but they are pre-rendered. The game itself looks good but I'd say Red Dead Redemption 2 looked better and the world was a lot more interactive for sure. Too bad though as the other ports have been pretty good from Sony.

I'll be waiting until it's completely fixed and probably priced down to at least £25. That'll probably have me waiting well into 2021, but I've more or less come to terms with the fact that games these days have stopped coming out as complete feature set ones, but now being treated like common software, release out the door and fix up as you go along (which is sad that gaming has come to this sort of point). 

I watched a video comparing PS4/PC textures and in some cases PS4's textures up close were still smudge-like, but that bit better than PC's, which was a weird thing to see. Rope textures in the game look god awful and something out of a PS2 game. I definitely feel like that game was over-hyped at launch, and 3 years later we actually get to see things simmer and and see the game for what it is visually speaking, and it isn't doing as much as I'd thought. 

As bad as RDR2 runs, I'd have to agree, it seems to be doing more in terms of visual detail than HZD. 

I hope this misstep tells Sony that they shouldn't be doing this and expecting us to pay full price for less quality. They are the one brand out there so far that boasts about quality fidelity and cinematic stuff, yet seeing this just proves the opposite happens when you boast and you're just all talk and no bite.
