There are no guns in Horizon Zero Dawn for a good reason

Horizon: Zero Dawn is fast becoming one of the most exciting future prospects on PS4. With a heroine inspired by Ygritte from Game Of Thrones and Ripley from the Alien films - as well as a development team bolstered by ex-Bethesda and CD Projekt RED staffers - it's basically the Enslaved sequel we wanted in all but name. Yet despite coming from the studio that gave us the delicately-monikered Killzone series, it's new action-RPG will totally shun ballistic boom sticks all together.

Everything about this game is intriguing. I am really excited to see them take a complete new direction from Killzone and go wild with the imaginative world. I am going to spend a lot of time hunting and crafting when this beast of a title releases.

After they showed it at E3. I was happy that GG took me a surprise and my face was melted.

amiga-man3228d ago (Edited 3228d ago )

Sony certainly have some impressive developers, another wow looking game thats showing real potential.

Bring it on

MrSec843228d ago

I totally agree, I can't wait to explore this world and see what the game has to offer.
From what I understand the machines have evolved into those forms to fit the purpose of their function, so the potential for different varieties is only limited by what logically works in that frame and the potential for gameplay to deal with all of those varieties is quite astounding.

I can't wait to find out what the crafting system is like, to try making traps for machines.
I'm hoping I can tame a horse like machine, Triceratops style, Thunderjaw or even a Storm Bringer to use as my own to navigate the landscape.

The potential for quests and developing relationships with the natives as you travel to different settlements and interact with other tribes or nomads seems very vast and complex too.
I can't wait!!!

miyamoto3228d ago

When members of mega popular bands play together to make music we call them a "Supergroup".

But I have never heard of a "Superdeveloper" until I read this article.

So this is the breakdown:

1 Guerilla Games

2 John Gonzalez, who previously acted as lead writer for Fallout: New Vegas (2010), was hired to write the game's story.

2 Ex-Bethesda developers

4 CD Projekt RED staffers who made The Witcher 3

This si the reason why the game looks and feels so beautiful.

Sureshot3229d ago

The e3 demo of this game was amazing! Truly envious of the PS4 owners coz this looks like a mind blowing gem!

joab7773228d ago

Here's the thing. Start saving b/c you have probably 18-24 months b4 we see this game. And once u do get a PS4, you will have a ton to play and catch up on.

KeeseToast3228d ago

Nah, they started working on it after Killzone 3 so i am pretty sure its going to release next year

showtimefolks3228d ago

joab

it's releasing in 2016, they have had a second team working on this title since 2010-2011.

MrSec843228d ago (Edited 3228d ago )

Guerrilla's last two games both came out only 9 months after they were announced, if anything this is going to release around March and Uncharted 4 will be brought forward to Feb.

Bare in mind that the behind closed doors footage of Bloodborne released around E3 last year didn't look anywhere near as good as Horizon does now and the performance of BB was much less stable than Horizon was.
Guerrilla said they'd begun developing a new IP back in August of 2010, so this game is close to 5 years in the making at this point, BB only had 2 and a half years, with a much smaller team working on it from the planning to release, Horizon will have had way more people working on it, in full blown development, not including pre-production, concept stages and prototyping.

If this game wasn't coming until Fall 2016 then it wouldn't have been announced until PSX at the earliest.

jeremyj29133228d ago

Scalebound has me envious of XBOne ownwers. Can't wait to see it in a few days. My hype for Horizon is immeasurable tho.lol

TomLovesXBOX3228d ago

Really don't understand the hype for Scalebound as no one has even seen gameplay for it yet??? Do people just assume a new IP will great without seeing gameplay now?

MasterCornholio3228d ago

@Tom

I'm guessing that people are hyped for it because it's developed by Platinum games. They do have a history of producing really good games like Bayonetta and Vanquish.

jeremyj29133228d ago

@Tom I'm hype because Kamiya is my favorite director and is responsible for a number of my favorite games. Can't speak for everyone else tho.

subtenko3228d ago

Well, ya could always get a PS4 and enjoy the game too.

Big_Game_Hunters3229d ago

So using the turret that was on the robosaur doesn't count as a gun?

Majin-vegeta3229d ago

I think they meant along the lines of "Craftable guns".Plus it looks like it oonly has 5 shots and after that you drop it.

BTW it's a disk launcher not turret big difference ;)

22CobraKing3229d ago

Why bring up something about a gun if horizon looks amazing with what way shown.

Veneno3229d ago (Edited 3229d ago )

Probably just cause GG has done an FPS series for so long. But it's blatantly obvious from what has been shown that Horizon is a completely new direction so yeah why bring up the gun talk?

joab7773228d ago

Cuz there last 3 games were Killzone, an fps shooter w/ guns!

Rookie_Monster3229d ago

Can't wait! One if the best showing at E3.

Ricegum3228d ago

You need a PS4 first though.

NeverHeavyMan3228d ago (Edited 3228d ago )

I DEFINITELY got a chuckle there! :D

OT: Anyway, this was the best game of E3, for me! Every new piece of info has been great!

Borderlands 4 is suppose to show up also but meh I didn't like that last one tbh. I beat it and everything I just didn't care for the characters and it was pretty much the same thing. Franchise needs a complete overhaul.

PRIMORDUS4h ago

I'm hoping that Nintendo shows Metroid Prime 4 in some form, even a 30sec gameplay trailer would be fine. Most likely it will only be on a Nintendo Direct.

darthv7228d ago

curious... if a game leaves PS+, does it make it unplayable if you have already claimed it before it leaves? I know on the XB side, games leaving Gamepass are no longer playable. You need to pay for them to be able to continue playing after you installed them from GP.

CrimsonWing6928d ago

The 3 monthly “free” games you keep as long as you have PS+ subscription. The PS+ library is like Netflix. They rotate stuff out and replace them with other titles.

MrNinosan28d ago

Yes, PS+ Extra/Premium games are unplayable after the leave the service, just like GamePass and Netflix.
PS+ Essentials games are available as long as you have an active PS+ account.

Profchaos27d ago

Monthly games, special promos like the free games during COVID or PS plus bundle on ps5 are forever yours. Premium and above are time limited

If you claim a game on the premium tier (not yours to keep) and it comes out as a monthly games later e.g. fallout 76 it appears you do not retain ownership on that one.

Notsofast27d ago

The 3-4 monthly games that are free that are part of every service are yours forever I canceled my service over a year and you never lose access. I dont know what these other comments are talking about maybe they are in a different country but in the USA I could play any game I claimed of the free monthly games

MrNinosan27d ago

Then one of the accounts on your PS5 probably has a PS+ Essential subscription.
Because the 3-4 PS+ games you get every month, is not available to be played if you don't have an active sunscription.
It's the same in US, Europe, Japan and everywhere else.

Petebloodyonion27d ago

Essential stays in your library
Extra and premium become locked when titles leave the service.

It's actually one of my gripes with Extra, you can't remove the title from your own library, so basically it countss as one your title but it's locked so you own library become a cluster F... unless you filter your titles.

MrNinosan27d ago

Well you can just chose to hide them.

Wonder if Horizon ZD leaving gives credit to those remake rumours

Sigh. If true…another remake that’s not Bloodborne.

SimpleDad28d ago

Probably yes cause of a remake.

Skuletor28d ago

I still remember them giving that one away for free, regardless of if you were subscribed to Plus or not

ApocalypseShadow28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

They did. It was during the pandemic and the "play at home" initiative.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition. Sony gave away a lot of games just to push gamers to stay home and not get infected by COVID.

Eonjay28d ago

I think you're right.
There is a separate Bloodborne rumor by the remake is allegedly scheduled for next gen.

Kingrizzy9027d ago

Yes cause of the remake good thing I got the plat
And is bloodborn really that good? I never played it due to being Incarcerated 8½ years but I read the comics. It's pretty dark

Profchaos27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Highly likely I also bet the remaster will be over priced and under whelming.

I'd also bet most people will simply stick with the PS4 pro and ps5 60fps patch over paying to upgrade when it offers the bare minimum.

I hope Sony has learnt from the last of us 2 and stop remastering games that just came out they have nearly 30 years of content to work with but always remaster games that are like 5 years old and don't need it. I assume this was In development alongside tlou2 so fingers crossed this is the last time we get this because what's next god of war on PS4 to ps5 for 70 dollars probably anything outside of bloodborne

Glad I played sundered and the messenger, both great 2d games

gold_drake27d ago

ahh the messenger is such a good game.

u should play sea of starts. same people, its a sort of prequel to the messenger tok

Friendlygamer27d ago

Oh I will definitely play it eventually, chained echoes too

Jingsing27d ago

Can N4G adopt a policy of games leaving subscription services as not being a new story, it is just spam at this point.

Petebloodyonion27d ago

Is it me or have there been a lot of great games leaving the extra tier but barely anything in terms of wow factor joining the service in return?
When was the last time that Sony added a PlayStation studio game?
Now I don't expect Sony to have day 1 like Gamepass but I would expect to at least care to make the offering interesting especially when they raised the price by 30% last year.

MrNinosan27d ago

PS Studio Games:
May - Destiny 2: Lightfall
April - MediEvil, Jak&Daxter: The Lost Frontier,
March - CoolBoarders

What Playstation Studio games is it you're missing?

Petebloodyonion27d ago

Sight...
let me check my comment again
" Is it me or have there been a lot of great games leaving the extra tier but barely anything in terms of wow factor joining the service in return? "
Yeah pretty sure I mentioned the EXTRA tier and not the PREMIUM tier
but glad that you consider a DLC to a free-to-play game a great offering

MrNinosan27d ago

I repeat my question, what PS Studio games is it you're missing?

And regarding the first part of your comment, lots of great games leaving and nothing added?

What great games iyo has left the service?
For me, "wow-factor games added would be".
Dave the Diver, Tales of Kenzera, Raji, Miasma, The Outer Worlds, Resident Evil 3, Ace Attorney, Rainbow Six Siege, AC: Valhalla, Far Cry 6, Watch Dogs Legion, Both Southpark jrpgs, Fenyx Rising, Tales of Arise, Session, Lego Worlds, Vampire the Masquerade Swansong, Legends of Mana....

And many more.

Compared to what has been removed, the adds are better than the 'offs'.

DF Weekly: Do we actually need The Last of Us Part 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn remasters?

With the details we now have in terms of features and pricing, I don't think there are any significant concerns remaining - just that perhaps that the term 'remastered' in the title is a little misplaced. Essentially, what we're dealing with here is broadly equivalent to a release along the lines of Death Stranding: Director's Cut. It's the original game with a dash of extra content and additional visual modes that tap into the power of PlayStation 5.

-Foxtrot186d ago

Bloodborne, Infamous, Killzone, Resistance, Puppeteer, Jak and Daxter etc are all better choices

Even a full on remake of Drakes Fortune I’d take

PrinceOfAnger186d ago

killzone 2/3 definitely a better choice, i have recently finished the games on pc and thought about that, a full remake like demon souls is even better

darthv72186d ago

2&3 are still fine... I'd take the first one as a full remake before the others. They could flesh out more of the backstory that the sequels touch on. Even go deeper into the lore of Helgan.

specialguest185d ago

KZ 2/3 would be amazing. KZ 2 was a graphical masterpiece back then. With today's modern tech, all of those tricks Guerilla Games did to create the effects like the lighting, storm effects, etc, they could now be done in real-time and more realistic

Cacabunga185d ago

Killzone 2-3
Golden Abyss remake
Infamous 2

RaidenBlack186d ago

Uncharted 1 still got a decent remaster for 8th gen ... a remake is not that much of a requirement ...
instead remake candidates should be from 5th or 6th gen
and as for proper remasters (not just lazy res upscale): Killzone 2 & 3 obviously and also Resistance/inFamous (as well as MGS4 :P)

-Foxtrot186d ago

My point with the list is that I’d rather see those titles than what we are getting…titles which are only 3-5 years old and still hold up today

CrashMania186d ago

Sony own the Demons Souls and Bloodborne IP, I wish they'd do something with Bloodborne at the very least.

vfl523186d ago

The way you worded that makes me think you don't realize they already remade demon souls

186d ago
GamingSinceForever185d ago

Not one of those will sell more copies than TLOU2 Remaster. The sooner we realize that these gaming sites and their followers are less than 1% of the buying public the better off we’ll be.

Sure we prefer newer titles but this is business and a business is what Sony is running.

JackBNimble185d ago

Don't you think they could be doing something better with their time and money, like maybe making something new? Or have they become lazy and just reliving the past with the same old games over and over.

Gez ... do something fresh and new already .

notachance185d ago

I'd rather for them to go Square Enix route and remake/remaster their PS1 libraries instead of these unnecessary remaster

come on, legend of dragoon..

Gamingsince1981185d ago

What's with the "need" anyway ? This is video games, no one needs them at all, we need water , we need air, we don't need games.

Barlos185d ago

I would love a remake/remaster of KZ1. For its time it really pushed the PS2 hard and because of that it had a few issues. This is begging to be given the Bluepoint touch and brought up to date. I'd love to see an updated Killzone trilogy collection for sure.

Yi-Long185d ago

Sony killed the game and the studio behind it, but a Remaster of the excellent Driveclub would absolutely be my favorite release if it happened. Just a delicious racing game.

FinalFantasyFanatic185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

So many better choices, I can't fathom why reasonably recent games are getting picked over Classics that are more deserving.

Nope. But HD remasters are an easy cash grab that the masses shovel cash for because while they complain about remakes, they still buy them

Not if they release on a platform that never received the original in the first place like PC.

46player185d ago

No complaint here, I want the updated graphics.

My thoughts on this is do we need Richard Leadbetter's or Digital Foundry's opinion on anything........ever? I know I don't they do nothing for me and never have.

That guy is a buffoon, DF Direct is the best gaming podcast around. I look forward to it every week.

BehindTheRows185d ago

By that same token, some may not NEED remasters, while others may/do.

Amplitude185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

DF videos are typically absolutely amazing game reviews first and foremost. They have great intros, explain the mechanics well, tell you if they enjoyed it or not (I usually vibe well with John's games personally), and then they have the best tech breakdowns of a game's performance which is very very important to me. I want to know what settings to run at on PC, and on PS5 I wanna know if the 60fps mode runs well or not because if it doesn't... well I'll just get it on PC (If it isn't completely broken there too). DF Retro is also always unbelievably interesting and super well edited and inspired my YouTube channel which just crossed 1200 subs (wooo!). They helped me a lot with understanding game development and got me interested in goofing around with game engines and PC building in general back in the day.

I don't mean any offence by this but you sound like somebody who skims their analysis videos, selectively scrolls to the stats, says "who cares?", and then closes it. Or possibly somebody who watches (stolen) cut clips on TikTok? Even if you are somehow unaffected by blurry images and fluctuating frame rates (some people are and I envy you) I recommend watching a full DF episode one day. They're extremely interesting and I watch literally all of them even if I have no interest in the game.
