Setting looks amazing in this game.

Wilderness and city ruins.
It looks super stylized to me. It seems deliberate.

Every time this dismount/arrow shot is shown it looks more janky to me.
By the time she gets the crossbow out, she's too close to the ground..and she shoots the arrow at the same time she hits the ground which would make for a horrible shot.

Well, yeah, it's one of their flagship IPs. Must be up to 12m sold across PS4 and PC by now.

Still doesn't look right
It’s supposed to be that way along with the bright colors. HZD never aimed for photorealism.
It’s more hyperrealism. I like the way the game looks. Something different from the usual games that try to make everything match the real world.

The leap in fidelity from Horizon 1 to Horizon 2 is really impressive.
Reminds me of that jump from Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2.

I think most games go for hyperrealism.

Not only this, but putting Aloy in other games.

The third video from the top in OP's post is a bit different. Aloy riding a machine towards the boss in the SoP video.

Hate to agree with you. Kinda confusing mix of art direction with photorealism graphics.

I think it's the "Hero Glow" that they have applied to Aloy which makes her "pop" out from the background environment. It is kind of off-putting.

I still can't get behind how this one looks compared to ragnarock, both crossgen but this one looks basically on par with ratchet while being a full fledged massive open world game...
Except for the lack of sylens and a worse main plot, the dlc is better than vanilla game in many aspects, give it a try.

Not what happens in real life when fighting a futuristic fire-breathing robot elephant? Cancelling preorder.

All these videos of Aloy riding the dinobots.... I myself never once rode the machines in Zero Dawn past the original tutorial sequence. I just didn't like it, and never found it necessary at all. It was much more fun running around exploring on foot and finding secrets and stuff. Did a lot of other people ride the machines around all the time?

Game looks crazy good, can't wait to see the other areas, Vegas, under water areas and such.

I mean thats literally their only job lmao. What do you want them to do? Hype Forza?
I think thats the biggest fuck up they couldve made by delaying the game. Now not only are they going to go up against Elden Ring, GoW, Starfield, BOTW in a jam packed year for GOTY they are also going to be releasing within a week of Elden Ring. Just like they did five years ago with BOTW. Im sure it will sell well, but it's definitely not going to dominate the online space like BOTW did and like Elden Rings would.
Had they released it this year, their biggest GOTY competition wouldve been Deathloop. And maybe Halo Infinite if it somehow manages to surprise everyone. They keep wanting to get out of ND's shadow but they keep fucking up with these delays. ND now has 4 GOTY awards in the last 11 years. GG has none. They had an easy weak year to dominate and they dropped the ball. Now they will have to wait till 2027 to get another shot at GOTY.

A Sony thread! It’s bait for all the green rats here!
Looks cool, hope I can find a ps5 before it hits
Cant have the Horizon car game getting all the attention. Here is a Horizon Dino game.
Ive not found a PS5 either. Still. Lucky me this game is playable on the PS4Pro.

Some but right not a lot, mostly snuck around or ran around.

Because they showed them before the first gameplay trailer, the countdown was like 20 hours of fucking locations images slideshow

the original trailer showed a lot of different locations. I would like to see more of those biomes. That last shot of her going through the dense foliage. I need to see if thats real or not. I want to see if those seagulls would actually dive into the water to catch fish and other dynamic elements the trailer hinted at. The desert biome looked stunning and so did the weather effects.
I would also like to see what their new cities and settlements look like. Lets face it, Meridian was a disappointment. I want living breathing cities like those found in AC Origins.
