Forums - Sony - PS4: Horizon Zero Dawn Won Best Technology At GDC 2018

And next year it will be God of War....

And the year before it was uncharted.

Sony teams doing God's work.......

In terms of PS first party titles, Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy are both visually pleasing and have strong stories but are not of the same genre of course. Horizon just takes everything to another level for open worlds. GOW almost sounds like it's going to try and fit right between these two genre's possibly.

After putting about 20 hrs into ACO now, it feels a lot like HZD, just set in ancient Egypt. While ACO has some stunning visuals and great game play, it doesn't seem to have the same level of story and lacks some of the polish that HZD has.

Guerrilla really delivered and HZD has a real chance at becoming one of the top, if not the top first party franchise for PS consoles going forward. XB saw this right away and its no wonder they want a piece of it themselves. You know you made a great game when...

Seems like many of the larger AAA studios/titles are looking to the Deities for inspiration, and are being handsomely rewarded for it.

Around the Network

The Decima Engine is on another level. Well deserved, not only did they display an excellence in tech, but they backed it with the best open wolrd gameplay to date.

SIEWWS are on another level, Naughty Dog, Guerrilla Games, Santa Monica, Polyphony Digital, and Suck Punch are leading the industry in tech and gameplay.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
