Horizon: Forbidden West

Kinda wish I'd finished HZD now as I didn't realise the lore was quite a bit more than I initially thought.
Guess I can play in reverse order though.
 
Flicked between performance and resolution mode. Can't tell any difference graphically but I can definitely tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps. 30 just feels awful to play.

I thought I was going to have a peek of the beginning of the game when CohhCarnage started it up yesterday but already in the intro of the game (before he even got to set up the game properly) it contained spoilers from HZD as to what Aloy did then so I just closed it down. Those that actually started playing can probably confirm if it was proper end spoilers from HZD that it was talked about but the little I did hear sounded like it was heading towards that. So if you not started Forbidden West yet might want to consider that, unless you not to worried about it of course ! :)

Just thought I mention it just incase. ;) :p

There was also another part further in. I wont say what but there was homage to the lands of the first game. I loved seeing all the areas I recognised instantly from the first. It was lovely seeing it.
 
Few annoyances I’ve noticed.

Conversation Wheel tends to gradually fade into view. It used to appear instantly on HZD so I’m not sure how to solve that one yet.

Triggering your Focus has changed. You have to hold down R3. To return back to the default style head into Settings>Controls>Focus Mode Input and set that to Inverted.

Ground based items like weeds/health plants aren’t shown in your focus properly. Go into Settings>Custom HUD>Set interaction markers to Always On.

The graphics look amazing.

Can't really tell the difference between performance and resolution, but the 60fps is definitely needed.

Likewise. The 60fps difference is huge, visually I can’t tell, so it’s the obvious choice for me. It’s stunning even in performance mode.

Good shout, thanks.
 
Keep the UI hints and tips coming; very helpful.

@Noxia
I would strongly urge you to park this and play HZD first. Play it on very easy / story and blitz it. The story and lore are what made it such a good game.

Playing it in performance mode and loving it.
 
@darkgen yep that's what I've done. Put it on to story made and just focusing on main quests for now. No rush, not like there are any other games I intend to buy for a while.
