Looks like it won't beat its predecessor. Looking forward to watching some 60 fps footage, afaik Sony only showed 30 fps so far.

It's 1800P checkerboard for 60 fps

90+ is usually reserved for genre defining game. This is more of the same which is ok.
Also, 90+ doesnt always translate into goty awards. It takes two and Death Stranding were both under 90 and still won the majority of GOTY awards after going up against 90+ games like REmake 2 and Forza Horizon 5.

It’s 88 right now. What’s the difference lol. People get so hung up on literally fractions of a point.

1800p checkerboarded to 4k at 60fps?
So why would the fidelity 30fps mode even exist? 1800p-4k is not that much to sacrifice 30fps. There must be other changes

Native 4k however, that is quite a bit more then just 1800p checkerboard to 4k checkerboard.

From what I gather so far, the story seems to be a letdown for some and some of the optional tasks are not fun.
Personally I can live with this, of course it's hard to beat the first game storywise, because the big myseriums has been answered already and I can just skip the optional stuff, which is not fun.

Along with what I expected
85-89
88 is great score specially these days critics are much harder on games generally
My only complaints about first game are mele combat and side quests variety
If they fixed them Im in
Gameplay is most important thing to me in video games
Sifu is my best game this year untill now

2,880,000 = 1800p checkerboard
6,144,000 = 2160p native
So that is a 2.13x pixel per frame difference?
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

No 1800p checkerboard is 1920*1800p where as fidelity is 3840*2160p.
A lot more pixels. Its closer to 1440p than 1080p. 3.4 million pixels vs 2.1 million for 1080p and 3.7 for 1440p. And checkerboarding fills out the remaining 3.2 million pixels to bring it up to 5.6 million you would get from native 1800p.
Ghost of tsushima and days gone both used 1800p cb on ps4 pro. I like it way better than naughty dogs 1440p solution.

Getting great reviews. 93% Critics recommend and 88% top critic number on Opencritic is insanely good.
People had issue with first one as well. Open world games have their own critics so I wasn't expecting anything higher than 90. Looks like it hit what I expected it to hit.
ACG mentioned it great fun. Mentioned bugs which DF guy said was there but another patch smoothened things over. Expecting more patch in a week or so.

Horizon Forbidden West Review: A narrow focus

Native 4k is 8.2 million pixels. 3840*2160.
4kcb is 1920*2160p = 4.1 million pixels. The rest of the pixels are filled by an algorithm so the TV get the full 4k frame buffer.
1800p cb should be 1920*1800 = 3.4 million unless they are lowering the horizontal resolution a bit more which i highly doubt.
1080p is 2.1 million pixels. 1440p is 3.7 million.

6/10Hard to counter reviews like this
I very much do not believe anyone would feel this is a 6/10 experience unless they have unreasonable standards where RDR2 is a 7/10 experience and Ocarina of time is a 8/10…

As expected. Wasn't long before the reasons showed up. Those scores are a joke.Hard to counter reviews like this
At least the reviewers that mattered all loved it.

If the guy thinks it’s a 6.5 that’s his right to have that opinion. Doesn’t mean he’s right or that others can't disagree.Horizon Forbidden West Review: A narrow focus

Frankly I wish we would see more of this as the idea that all these big exclusives are all amazing in every way is kinda silly. We need reviewers to be tougher.
But I doubt I’ll agree with his verdict. And that’s just fine in any case. No need to let it upset you.

Huh.
So you mean the story is good, but the execution is bad?
90’s can be tough to achieve when 300 mofo’s are trying to summarize every detail.
I’m not sure how a game better in each facet ends up with the same score as it’s predecessor, though. Weird.
Suspect I incorrectly assumed that but yeah, it would be a 1.78x pixel per frame difference.
Eurogamer review also criticizes heavily the game, basically says that it has not very much going on for it except for visuals.
If it were scored it would be 6 or 7 at maximum I guess

His Demon’s Souls reveal reaction is priceless. I used his original Demon’s Souls walkthrough when playing the PS3 version so I knew he would be extatic. I immediately checked his channel when it was revealed just to see his reaction xD
Edit: I just realized he sounds almost exactly like Brian from Family Guy.

That’s fine, but did you read it?
How can a game’s,
“…side quests are great, but pointless” - Huh?
“Robot dinosaurs.” - Where?
Nothing wrong with an opinion, but at least make sense.

True! It may not be 10/10 but hell no it's a 6/10 or 7/10 game. These small/unknown outlets looking for drama
I will buy it and enjoy it no matter what

I remember completing dark souls remaster, I was curious about a few things and found one of his videos.
The number of things I missed or neglected in the game was insane,

I can actually see someone score it 7/10 because there are certainly better games but a 6/10 score? There can’t be any 10/10 games released ever according to that person!True! It may not be 10/10 but hell no it's a 6/10 or 7/10 game. These small/unknown outlets looking for drama

I don't mind if they come to that conclusion based on real stuff - like bugs (which I'm hoping day 1.2 patch will fix) and when they make statements like 'climbing was a great part of Zero Dawns experience', I have to wonder if they even played the game given it was the single biggest request to improve. The more you give the more you have to guide, all you did in zero dawn was look for the yellow fabric on a rock.
Usually if you don't have to use more than one or two weapons, that's the game telling you to crank up the difficulty. I'm not arsed about the metascore but half arsed reviews like this are nothing. These were the harshest criticism to take away 4.5 points?

Looks like the story is not that good again, but the graphics and gameplay are enough to buy it. I'll just imagine is a new shiny monster hunter game.

I’ve been watching some PS4/PS5 comparison videos and holy shit the difference is HUGE. It’s not just a resolution and frame rate bump. The geometry, textures, draw distance, and effects are on a completely different level on PS5. I know people like to shriek about cross gen but this game on PS5 is the most “next gen” looking game I’ve seen yet.
That’s not to say PS4 got the cyberpunk treatment. It looks perfectly playable.

It's apparently 1800p Checkerboard at 60FPS. You can't trust these reviewers to give you accurate information

Moderated wildly
Yeah, ACG review deffo locks in my wait for this. Just finished, seems like a good sequel but it’s sad to hear the issues with combat remain. I hated the close combat stuff and I don’t know why he said it’s 1080p 60 but he did say it looks shimmery in performance mode, also not A locked 30fps in quality mode.
I think it’s not long until true Sony exclusives go back to 30fps. I mean this game looks like an amazing late life PS4 game but it doesn’t scream next gen to me….
…..where are the crazy looking crabs and underwater scenes we saw in the trailers?
basically, as someone who liked Horizon and wasn’t blown away like some reviewers this looks more of the same but bigger. I don’t want bigger, I’ve just slogged through ghost of tsushima and I’m good for Sony huge open world games right now.
also, I’m deffo not buying a game that hard crashes my ps5, not risking anything that could shorten my consoles life span.
hope every one else enjoys it though, seems good And excellent if you really annoyed the first and are after more.
