The first image looks exactly like the trailer. Bravo!

It is important to note that these are wide vista shots. During gameplay, these objects will be closer to the player/camera and, therefore, will have higher LOD than what we are seeing right now.

Are you guys actually sitting and watching the pre-show for all five hours? I turned that off when I realized the pre show was starting at 9 and not the main event, in about two seconds.

Honestly I have it running in the background for the relaxing sound and atmosphere

 

[Trogdor1123]

Sigh, it's just how it's going to look like. You also have 4 hours timer in the left upper corner. You think this will also be in the game?

Sorry, I don't think we are talking about this in the same way. The eye could just be exactly what you say, I agree. But it seems odd that they would have a camera (assuming that means anything at all either of course) would have that same issue/ mechanic.

It might just be a hint at the HUD though I agree.

 

[scalman]

so real next gen will start here ... just couple more hrs..

 

[N30RYU]

so real next gen will start here ... just couple more hrs..

Isn't it releasing also on PS4?

For 30 fps scrubs! I kid, I'm sure it will be fine on PS4 too.

You mean ratchet and clank as the first real next generation game.

 

[Trogdor1123]

That forest stuff looks unreal for a ps4

 

[GymWolf]

When it comes to big games i usually watch the reveal in real time like most people, but this time i'm gonna wait a couple of minutes for the 4k version they always load after the reveal, who is with me?!

I'm gonna play some biomutant in the meantime.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Not sure I can really tell what we're seeing in this ASMR preview footage with how much compression/artefacts/shimmering/few pop ins there is but re-watching the gameplay reveal of TLoU2 (incidentally a year to the day I just realised!) I'm honestly not blown away but after watching the high bit-rate video of the H:FW debut in-engine trailer last year I guess it isn't surprising.

 

[SLB1904]

hollly shit this looks good

 

[Tommi84]

Ok, this in 4K, 60fps? Yeah, I dig it

 

[cormack12]

Ok, this in 4K, 60fps? Yeah, I dig it

All these shots are from elevated positions. I wonder if Aloy can override glinthawks and use them to scope out locations

 

[Epic Sax CEO]

People complaining about this weren't around to wait for the last Death Stranding trailer.
Remember that? Those scenes in loop hidden by the hands, that we could watch before the official time we enough people went to the stream (it failed).

 

[SLB1904]

 

[Heisenberg007]

Destruction All Stars, actually

 

[SLB1904]

and we haven't seen underwater yet

lol a lot of comments are about to age like fine milk in a container out in the sun.

 

[skit_data]

Is it me hoping for too much and seeing things that arent there or is there sub surface scattering on some of the trees and foilage?

I remember that being one of those things in the reveal trailer i thought was ”too good to be true”. I remember seeing it on the kelp during the underwater scene when the Snapmaw swims just above.

 

[kyliethicc]

Ok, this in 4K, 60fps? Yeah, I dig it

Exactly. If this game is 4K HDR @ 60 FPS on PS5, its gonna be fucking gorgeous.

 

[Defrop]

 

[SinDelta]

How do you know Aloy is not riding a stormbird?

 

[SLB1904]

Exactly. If this game is 4K HDR @ 60 FPS on PS5,

doubt it, but fingers cross. hell im love with upscale techniques like returnal and morales. just give that if they cant

I was thinking about doing that, but nah. I am here for the meltdowns.

 

[cormack12]

How do you know Aloy is not riding a stormbird?

I don't think it's possible if it's still on PS4, for a number of reasons shown in videos like the AI pathing, and the streaming required. It might be, but it's not somethign I consider to be possible but everyone is keen on flying dino's so this seems like a decent compromise with full flight in III (next gen only)

 

[kyliethicc]

doubt it, but fingers cross. hell im love with upscale techniques like returnal and morales. just give that if they cant

Well I assume on PS4 its gonna be same as HZD.

PS4 - 1080p @ 30
PS4 Pro - 4K CB @ 30

so

PS5 - 4K @ 60 ?

Seems totally possible. Maybe 4K CB @ 60.

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

God I so hope you’re right!

 

[SLB1904]

20k crazy people watching this thing. and gaf was calling stupid and the person who had this idea should get fired and for some reason was Jim's fault.

 

[Calverz]

That shit was beautiful

Looks embarrassingly bad. Hope you didn’t spend more than ten minutes unlocking that!

 

[SLB1904]

PS4 - 1080p @ 30
PS4 Pro - 4K CB @ 30

so

PS5 - 4K @ 60 ?

Seems totally possible. Maybe 4K CB @ 60.

I'm almost sure that ps4 version will be downgraded. probably mostly on vegetation and some effects.

For PS5 probably 4K CB but from a higher base resolution than the Pro. My guess.

 

[cormack12]

Actually I think we have an answer to the aerial shots



Maybe they've tamed glinthawks then or even stormbirds.

 

[kyliethicc]

I'm almost sure that ps4 version will be downgraded. probably mostly on vegetation and some effects.

Oh of course it will have to be. But Sony are never gonna show the PS4 version pre-launch, just like with Miles Morales. (And Miles on PS4 looks fine, just not as good.)

But at a minimum, HFW on PS4 will look just as good as HZD on PS4.

 

[BatSu]

 

[GymWolf]

I was thinking about doing that, but nah. I am here for the meltdowns.

You have to understand, horizon was my gotg, it's not like a normal sequel for me, that's why i'm always a broken record with my fuck you jimbo posts about the game being crossgen.

I will not get distracted by the meltdown in here, i'm gonna savour the 4k trailer like jason schreier savour a meeting with a bunch of unemployed devs

Also we are having slow days at work so the metldown is gonna be glorious to read tomorrow during the many dead moments.

And tbh, if sony fuckup this sequel, we all know that the real meltdown is gonna be my personal reaction tomorrow morning

 

[kyliethicc]

Fuck Stormbirds, they're cunts to fight lol.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I think this game will probably be bigger than the last one. There seems to be a wide variety of environments. Can't wait and see if they pull off a volcanic one.

 

[GymWolf]

Fuck Stormbirds, they're cunts to fight lol.

If you didn't fought them on ultra hard, you saw nothing my young padawan (or padaw-ass in your case)

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

I’m blown away already!!!

 

[SLB1904]

But at a minimum, HFW on PS4 will look just as good as HZD on PS4.

yeah but i have high hopes for horizon because it is being made with ps5 in mind. miles is great sure, but you clearly can see that is not a native ps5 game.

 

[keram]

Can some help?

Just started watching the vid but it says "live" when will it start or is this already the "state of play"? Do they want us to watch "landscapes" and "day time" and "seasons" for 4h ?!?!?

Is this a joke or something ?

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Yeah, looks like a monitoring station.

Many people here should go to Salt Bite.

 

[White-fire]

This and the jungle images are absurd.

 

[SLB1904]

Actually I think we have an answer to the aerial shots

yeah i think we flying boys. fingers crossed. damn you ps4

 

[kyliethicc]

If you didn't fought them on ultra hard, you saw nothing my young padawan (or padaw-ass in your case)

I beat the entire game and DLC on Ultra Hard and have every trophy.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Can anyone politely tell me what time the FW State of Play is for me?

I live one time zone to the left of NYC time zone. Manners are very appreciated.

 

[skit_data]

Ouff, Valley of the Fallen looks

 

[Dodkrake]

If they wanted to keep expectations in check, I'd argue that they shouldnt have raised them with that trailer last year.

This is back when Jim Ryan was going around telling everyone how he believed in generations. I wouldnt be surprised if they created that trailer using the PS5 specs.

Lets see if the water physics get downgraded as well. If the waves dont look like that you will know that the trailer was faked.

Dude, you are watching a compressed to hell video, far from the objects in gameplay, on an onrails camera. Can you save the crying until after we see the actual gameplay and how it holds up?

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Valley of the Fallen is from the reveal.
