Tackling an entirely new genre of game is a huge task, especially when it’s something like an open world game. The scale on one of those games is unlike anything else in gaming, and it’s a massive undertaking. Somehow, though, Guerrilla managed to jump from linear shooters to a huge open-world game and not just make a good game, but a great game. Guerrilla Games has taken many of the...
The announcement of Horizon Zero Dawn came as a huge surprise. Its developer, Guerrilla Games, has been known for the Killzone series of games for years, and while the series had a reputation for being a graphical showcase, it wasn’t much else. The series has its fans, but it’s never been the wide success that Sony wanted and it never garnered the critical acclaim people hoped for. Then...
Sony would love it if Horizon Zero Dawn turned into an ongoing series. That might sound obvious, but words from a Sony executive show how high the company’s hopes are for protagonist Aloy and her mysterious world. Aloy is “a PlayStation icon of the future,” said Sony Interactive Entertainment UK product manager Jon Edwards, speaking to MVC UK. So, does that mean she’s going to get a...
When Hideo Kojima dropped by The Game Awards to accept his Industry Icon award, he came bearing a new trailer for his upcoming game Death Stranding. The trailer was said to be running in real-time and in 4K on the PlayStation 4 Pro. A couple days later at Sony’s PlayStation Experience event, Kojima revealed the tech powering the game: Horizon Zero Dawn developer Guerrilla Games’ Decima...
I can’t think of a game that needs more help from the PlayStation 4 Pro’s power boost than Guerrilla Games’ high profile project Horizon Zero Dawn. From the moment I laid eyes on it, all I thought was “No way, it looks too good” and continued to dismiss it with the rest of the misleading E3 presentations we’ve seen over the years. But now that we have some hardware that might be...
Horizon Zero Dawn isn’t the only game I’m totally psyched for right now – both at E3 and in general – but it’s definitely at the top of both lists. The new demo we witnessed at Sony’s conference earlier this week only whet my appetite. Along with the new look, we were able to glean a few more hints about the story. While we still don’t know what happened to put humans back in the stone...
Rumor went around in April that Horizon Zero Dawn had been delayed into 2017. Now, we have some confirmation of that and a gorgeous new trailer to salve the wound left by the change. This new trailer gives us a bit more to chew on with both the story we’ll be uncovering and what we’ll be doing in that story. The protagonist, Aloy, lives in a world where giant machines rule and humans...
Last we heard, PlayStation 4 exclusive title Horizon: Zero Dawn was set to release sometime this year, but word from reliable sources says that’s no longer the case. Shinobi602, as he’s known on Twitter and the NeoGAF forums has a great track record for game rumors, and writes the following: Well...Horizon: Zero Dawn's getting delayed to early 2017 from what I'm told. Going to look...
The footage in the video above is A) pretty similar to what see saw at E3 this year during Horizon: Zero Dawn‘s unveiling and B) pretty poor quality. But it has something else going for it – it’s live. The video, recorded by DualShockers off the Tokyo Game Show live stream that aired via the Japanese streaming service Nico Nico, shows us a new side of familiar video. As I said, this is...
