I was actually dissapointed with Horizon Dawn. I wanted it to be a 3D Action game (more similar to Zelda), but it looks like just another shooter with an action adventure paint over it. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe shooting or bow&arrowing isnt the only combat option, but if I get a PS4 (which I'm seriously considering after this E3) and they showed all the combat in HZD, I'm not getting this game.

And I still haven't seen that much of Zelda, but what I've seen and read through Twitter, I am very satisfied (and as a guy who dislikes all 3D Zelda, it looks fantastic). But I still think they can screw it up. Let's not call it "Best in the franchise" yet.

While I am okay with it, it does indeed feel like Far Cry meet Witcher in gameplay aspects. So I understand the concern. However I still feel I will like Horizon will be better for me. 

I...what? There are new systems in the new Zelda...but the combat and most of the actual gameplay itself is nearly identical to previous Zelda games.

Also, your argument is different than the one I was responding to. You just seem to be more interested in Zelda, which, whatever, that's fine. The person I was responding to said that Horizon was basically Shadows of Mordor with dino-robots and that Zelda was more than a Zelda game.

Breath of the Wild is way more like other 3D Zelda games than Horizon is like SoM.

This thread is literally asking for console warfare.

I personally don't get much out of Horizon. I'm hoping they escalate the gameplay, or the plot, or something, because right now there isn't much in it for me.

Zelda looks excellent but is still got some clear issues left to fix, and I can only hope the NX version looks better because while the game is gorgeous, it's clearly pushing the Wii U's limits.

But to answer the question: Who cares? They're not really comparable games and it's going to come down to a simple Sony v Nintendo argument almost every time if you try to compare them.

Horizon looks better but I trust Zelda more as a franchise then something brand new from Guerilla TBH. Never the less, gameplay wise I am far more intrigued by Horizon, if it delivers, and waiting for a new handheld Zelda myself

Thank you.  I try to be somewhat objective.  In this case, I think we're dealing with two games that will both be very, very good, though each of them might appeal to different people.  Honestly, I think I would enjoy both of them.  

Right now, I feel like I know a lot more about the actual game-play of Horizon so comparing them doesn't feel that meaningful.

I think Zelda will have the edge in exploration, puzzling and maybe even weapon variety. I was never and am still not sold on Horizon to be honest.

pretty much this.

i dont understand whats impressive about the Zelda Trailer. after playing a game like The Witcher 3, zelda just looked empty, static and... average. 

Horizon is putting so much effort into making the world feel alive, inhabited by both humans and the mech robots, while still feelings like nature has overcome the ruins of "the old ones". and when it comes to combat and gameplay, well, just look at the videos and see for yourself. Horizon looks like its on another level. 

I'm a Zelda fan so Zelda of course :p

You just cannot see anything beyond graphics do you? Honestly I doubt you have touched a single Zelda game in your entire life so it comes as a no surprise you dont see the hype.
