Horizon: Zero Dawn (PC/PS4)

[6souls]

Horizon Zero Dawn is set in a lush, beautiful open world where nature has reclaimed the ruins of a forgotten civilization. It is a world where mankind is not the dominant species, and highly advanced machines sit at the top of the food chain. You play as Aloy, a young outcast from a tribal society, who has learned to hunt the machines. Intent on unraveling the many mysteries that surround her, Aloy embarks on a quest that will lead her to discover her own destiny.

Along the way, Aloy will face off against an entire menagerie of machines – some traveling in herds, others roaming in solitude, all of them presenting a formidable danger. You will need to learn their behaviors, attack patterns and weak points in order to survive. You must use the beautiful environments to your advantage, and employ stealth, agility, and cunning to approach your prey unseen.

Of course, you won’t be hunting unarmed in Horizon Zero Dawn. Aloy is capable of combining natural materials with machine parts to turn them into ingenious weapons, ammunition, traps, and tools. By cleverly using the right items at the right moment, you can exploit weak points and bring down even the largest machines. Unfortunately, the most dangerous machines aren’t necessarily the biggest…

This game really drew me in, I'm pretty excited!

[Tyrath]

One of those rare instances where I didn't know I wanted this game until it popped up just now.

[Rizil]

Getting a Monster Hunter vibe with it, which is always cool, except more cinematic, which will make or break it for me. I'm interested though so the trailer definitely did it's job.

[Ardrial]

This trailer looked awesome at the conference. Definitely interested.

[Burningthought]

I'm interested in this game but i'm cautious. I was hoping for a more cyberpunk feel from Killzone, but they weren't kidding when they said they were going out of their comfort zone. The gameplay looks solid but i'm itching to see what else the game is going to offer.

I agree with this. How much of what she does is controlled by you vs how much of it is done for you.

Game looked really compelling though. Definitely stood out in a good way

Of all the stuff from E3, this is the one my head keeps coming back to.

Same lol

Interview with the developer:



He describes it as an "open world, action RPG."

[Zieara]

This may make me make the jump to this gen finally. Very interested.

[Jaybar]

If this plays/progresses similar to Monster Hunter I will be putting a ton of time into this.

We don't tutorialise the game, we don't go and tell you how to hunt these robos or how they interact. You really have to go out there and explore these things by trial and error.
...
First of all you're getting XP and you can use that XP to gain new perks. ... But there's also basically a secondary way of upgrading your character, and that is through the harvesting and crafting system. By going into nature and defeating bigger and stronger robos you'll get better armour-plating, better weaponry and slowly but surely you'll develop your character in a more naturalistic way.

[Jaybar]

Sounds like a day one for me, then.

[Biggz]

After watching the devs play it in person at E3 they have my money day 1.

[Tyrath]

Pretty much. Just need a release date.

[Salodin]

So it's like monster hunter mech? Not that that's a bad thing.

That last piece of art shows a tree growing over a school bus. I'm getting a post-apocalyptic vibe now and my interest in piqued.
