Horizon Zero Dawn

[Tombstone]

I dont often buy titles via Steam these days but I'm a big fan of open world ARPGs, probably my favourite genre now. I'm interested in this but have some hesitation, so I'll be grabbing this on Steam so that I can refund if I find its not living up to other open world ARPGs. Hoping that it will be a good enough game to tide me over until AC:Valhalla is released.

Just be aware that the first few hours are a bit slow, but it's World building.

Yeah thats ok, I will use the first 2 hours more for gauging the interest of the initial story, how the movement feels, how the combat feels, rather than anything more indepth than that. If the movement feels fluid and the story grabs me in those first couple of hours then alls good.

Somebody earlier in the thread stopped playing the game because an enemy followed a specific pattern, but that's one of the disguised tutorial parts of the game and doesn't really apply later on.

System requirements have been released (they're pretty modest): https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/horizon-zero-dawn-system-requirements/

100gb. I can see its not going to be too long before I am going to need more SSD

In before someone comes along and posts that they hope their 2080ti will run it on high lol

I wonder if it will use DLSS 2.0, like Death Stranding (same engine)

My assumption is 'yes' as FidelityFX is listed on the AMD page: https://www.amd.com/en/gaming/horizon-zero-dawn

If same as Death Stranding then we are looking at a very sweet port. 2070S/5700XT will be fine even at 4k.

Death stranding runs fantastically given how great it looks, so it bodes well for this.

 

[Bassmansam]

Hope my 3770k and 1070ti can run it reasonably well.

Specs have been released, so you should be fine.

I have a 2070 super and 1440p monitor, so do we use AA as well as DLSS 2.0 or just DLSS 2.0?

we will need to see but if same as death stranding then - AA on, dlss on and resolution set to 1440p

You're getting carried away in here, there is no DLSS 2.0 for Horizon.

There's no mention on this page
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/death-stranding-game-ready-driver/

And no mention of it in the PC trailer

DLSS works in place of the AA. Think of it as a better TAA.

Only thing I am concerned about is the support to play on mouse and keyboard, I don’t have a controller.

 

[Besty]

i can highly recommend you buckle and invest and a xbox elite controller

It has full mouse & keyboard support ( 51 secs into the pc trailer posted above )
