Horizon Zero Dawn

Sony Turned Gaming’s Slow Season Into One Of The Best Seasons Ever For The Ps4

... These are quality releases. But it doesn’t even end there. Without missing a beat, Team Ninja unleashed the highly anticipated Nioh exclusively on the PS 4 on February 7 th to rave reviews. I’ve only had time to play a few hours of this Dark Souls-alike so far, but I’m already enjoying it more than any of the actual Dark Souls games from From Software (although it still has a ways to go if it wants to top Bloodborne). And to cap it all off, Horizon Zero Dawn arrives on February 28 th. The embargo for the game hasn’t lifted, but Sony is very confident in this game and PS 4 owners are excited to get their hands on it. On the other hand, Microsoft is preparing to launch Halo Wars 2 on February 21 st — its first notable console exclusive of 2017. That’s not a shot at Halo Wars 2 (which looks like a solid follow-up to its well-received predecessor), but the difference between ...

New Horizon Zero Dawn Videos Show Off Massive Machine Beasts

... the videos below, while official descriptions for the beasts follow further down. Originally scheduled to debut in 2016, Zero Dawn was later delayed to the end of February. It launches in the US on February 28. An action game that features RPG elements, Zero Dawn is a step in a new direction for developer Guerrilla Games, which is perhaps best known for creating the Killzone first-person shooter series. In other news, Guerrilla this week detailed the game's HUD options and showed off its photo mode. For more on the game, check out Game Spot's new preview and this rundown of the game's full skill tree. "An acquisition-class machine, the Snapmaw is frequently found basking in or near bodies of water, where it gathers valuable minerals from the sediment. It can move with surprising ferocity when alerted, lashing out with an array of melee attacks that include ...

Horizon Zero Dawn Makes Your Arsenal Matter

... that’s the ideal weapon to nail weaker enemies — yet when taking on something like the crocodile-inspired Snapmaw or jaguar-like Stalker, you’re going to have to add to your arsenal. Like Pokémon, each robot has specific weaknesses and strengths meaning you’re on a hiding to nothing if you depend on Freeze Bombs when trying to take down a mechanical adversary that’s weak to fire. Airborne foes like those bastard Glinthawks are nimble and can dodge even the most adept of archers, regardless of whether they're flinging arrows like Phil Taylor in his pomp. Basically, there’s a lot to be considered when coming up against one of these zoobots, making every weapon count. The scorpion-cum-alien Corrupters are spritely, leaping over large structures at a rate of knots to try and end pesky protagonist Aloy’s plot to murder every maniacal machine. The Ropecaster becomes the equaliser in this scenario as it ties the robot to the ground while you lay into their weak ...

Horizon Zero Dawn Videos Look At Going From Killzone To Robot Dinosaurs

... are living in this more primitive or tribal state," he said. "At that point, how exactly those elements had come to exist in this world together hadn't really been worked out.". Once the primary story beats had been identified, it was time for lead quest designer David Ford and his team to turn that full narrative into something that would work with an open world quest system. "When I arrived, John and his team had written the overarching narrative for the game and had an understanding of where the story was going to go, but it was written as a story, not a series of quests," Ford said. "So the quest team had the opportunity to work with the writers to break that story apart into smaller chunks, figure out where the gameplay would be, where the cutscenes would be, how it would all fit together.". The third video looks at turning Aloy into someone the company believes will stand up alongside other iconic characters from Play Station exclusives such as Uncharted. "I think it's really hard to design an ...

Horizon Zero Dawn Is An Open-world Game Where Story Is As Important As Scale

... For example, in one encounter, I was faced with a large, fire-spitting beast accompanied by several velociraptor-like Watchers. With nowhere to hide, I spent several futile runs trying to overwhelm it with sheer force before trying a different, more tactical approach. Instead of running in blindly, I peppered the area with shock traps before starting the encounter that tripped up the larger machine and gave me time to eliminate the smaller Watchers. Then I pinned the fire-spewing robot to the ground with a rope launcher and dispatched it with a series of well-placed strikes from my makeshift spear. Like any good RPG, there are a variety of different weapons with different abilities and uses, which can be further upgraded with additional modifications that increase damage or add elemental effects. Another important ability that Aloy gains early on is the Override device, which allows her to hack the wild machines you encounter. While some ...

Horizon Zero Dawn's Aloy Is A Playstation Icon Of The Future, Sony Says

... You're Good to Go. You are now subscribed. Subscribe for the latest gaming news. Horizon Zero Dawn is a step in a new direction for developer Guerrilla Games. Unlike its Killzone shooter series, Zero Dawn is an open-world RPG. It's still early days-the game isn't even out yet-but Sony sounds optimistic that Zero Dawn could be the company's next big franchise. "Nothing has been announced to date but I think there's a lot of potential for this to be an exciting new franchise for us," Sony UK product manager Jon Edwards told MCV. "We'll just have to wait and see.". Zero Dawn launches on February 28 exclusively for Play Station 4. The game comes to Europe a day later, on March 1. The game stars a character named Aloy, who is inspired by the Game of Thrones character Ygritte. Play Station president of Worldwide Studios said in 2015 that, in the early stages of the game's development, the company wondered if having a female protagonist-which was ...

The Good, The Bad, And The Boring

... out. You’ll loot the carcasses of enemies for metal shards and wire, saplings can be filed down to make arrow shafts, plants can be picked to make healing salves, animals can be hunted for meats and skins that can be turned into potions and knapsacks for all your crafting materials, ammo, and weapons. For the most part this is fine, and it can be a nice breather from the action to spend the aftermath of a battle picking over the ground for items and components. Where the crafting fell short, though, was the modification system. Frequently, on the corpses of machines, you’ll find components you can fit to your weapons and armour that increase their stats. A chunk of inert machinery might increase your armour’s stealth stat, or add to the fire damage of your arrows, or the electricity damage of your tripwires. The buffs are useful but, considering how many hundreds (literally hundreds) of modification components I came across, I barely ever fitted new components to my weapons. Most of the components I found were graded as ...
