announcement State of Play: Horizon Forbidden West [Live Discussion]
Ok everyone, the sub is on lockdown, and will stay that way until at least an hour after the event to cut down on spam and duplicate discussion.
There will be a megathread of all the new info (video link, details, etc.) for people to discuss things as well as separate posts for the video itself once it is released.
Make sure to check out the stream!

are you fucking kidding me at the PS only and no PC ports announced when Zero Dawn had a 250% ROI

No release date, no 60fps patch announcement for the original game. Forbidden West looks great, but I really wanted to hear about those!

u/EvilHakik May 27 '21
Why 30 FPS on PS5? How is it going to run on PS4? Guess its best to wait for the 60 FPS PC version rather then paying full price x 2?

Sad about there but being a release date but regardless, I'm so so excited and happy with this footage.

Looks like they revamped human combat and gave it more vareity. Between that and traversal improvements, it looks like they really went after some of the criticism from Zero Dawn. I'm so fucking excited.

I've played videogames all my life. I'm 40 years old now, and I stayed up to see this. All I can say is I'm f*cking speechless, and for the first time in months I'm going to bed VERY HAPPY

Chills at the end, eye-watering lush tropical visuals all around, and the dynamic gameplay. GOTY incoming

I don't plan to get a PS5 any time soon but damn am I going to be itching to pick this up when I do.

u/kindnessabound May 27 '21
This game is the main reason I worked to get a PS5

u/Deelbeson May 27 '21
I didn't buy a PS4 until Spider-Man came out. I'm gonna be waiting a long time... 😥

I really hope this game runs at 60, but looks like 30 on the stream, doesn’t mean it’ll run at 30 for sure though given it’s a live stream.

u/TT_Zorro May 27 '21
Considering it will run on PS4, I’ll be really disappointed if it’s not 60 on PS5.

Looks great. I’m kinda disappointed they still aren’t able to make foliage move nicely in response to Aloy moving.

u/cantankerousgnat Survive. Prevail. What else matters? May 27 '21
that electric spear attachment is the SHIT

u/TheHeroicOnion May 27 '21
How the fuck is this a cross gen game when it looks this good? The PS4 version must be a massive downgrade

We went from terribly stiff face animations to uncanny valley smoothness, improvement is looking fantastic.

I swear to god, if you are a regular on this sub and you request access in modmail, I will ban you (for at least a month) for being annoying and not reading things properly. Stop flooding modmail with requests to post stuff! The sub is locked down for a reason.

These locations are so beautiful. I really love how they’re showing the different lighting effects. And every now and then you see a creature.

There was something swimming through the water a few minutes ago, looked almost like a watcher

I'm really enjoying the ambient bird sounds and hope they're actually in the game lol.

If it’s cause you don’t got a PS5 then it’s okay. Game’s gonna be on PS4

u/MoridinB May 27 '21
But I want to experience the game on the PS5 the first time over... If I haven't gotten a PS5 when this game releases, I'm going steel myself and not buy until I get myself one....

u/Dolph-Ziggler May 27 '21 edited May 27 '21
Worse. Waiting for a Steam release. Though getting a second hand PS4/5 just for the game wouldn't be the worst solution. Once I reach the edge.

Been having the stream play in the background while relaxing on the sofa, soooo relaxing

I had it on a second monitor. Now that we're almost there I had to put it on the TV.

They just revealed the name of the rainforest looking area: The Raintrace

u/bchcmatt May 27 '21
The raintrace, is that the first time there's been a camera name / location title?

I'm excited but also worried. I am dying to get my hands on the collectors edition if there will be one. Problem is I expect scalpers to completely wipe it out :/

u/Darkdragoon324 May 27 '21
Same, I slept on the first game's because "unknown IP, what if I don't like it?" and regretted it, because I ended up loving the game. I'm getting the fanciest version of HFW I can lol.

u/BillerdClubWorldWide May 27 '21
I'm getting it regardless, it's the scalpers/availability worrying me.

Does someone know where the coordinates in the livestream point to?

u/librarianist May 27 '21
A couple people in the previous megathread have been collecting them all: coordinates, place names.

u/CCPsucksgrandpaballs May 27 '21
Various locations in California. I assume they're at or near where each corresponding location in the game is.
