Horizon: Zero Dawn [PS4]

[RedStarRiot]

So glad the DLC was announced for this.

Cannot wait to jump back into HZD.

They need to work on a sequel ASAP, best new IP in years and still my GOTY

Day one purchase for me, cannot wait for more Horizon

Reddit discussions place the location of the DLC at Yellowstone Park, and the volcano being Devils Tower!

Sounds about right. Both in Wyoming and north of Colorado. I'm intrigued by this door you mention. I can't recall it at all.

In the far Northern part of the map, snowy mountain area not far from PitchCliff and there is a storm bird site near it.

Picked this up while its on sale. I keep dying though in the first area when i first need to make fire arrows, how best to level up a bit first.

Stormbirds are always guarding the cool entrances.

+ no resell value, bravo.

I actually neglected to mention the main reason I buy digitally, which is that I can gameshare with my son's PS4! Saves having to buy two copies. So glad sony allow this feature, bravo Sony

 

[kmetek]

Wife and daughter are away Saturday until Sunday so I'll be hitting it hard... will probably play a bit of Horizon too

I was impressed with the video where they show you how they have optimized the engine. Great work - only rendering what's absolutely necessary and in FOV, along with some great LOD tricks.

Shame more devs don't put so much effort into optimization, especially on PC.

Frustum culling is pretty standard, don't make the mistake of thinking it's something new or unique to Horizon, can't argue that the level of optimization puts other devs to shame though

I'm no game dev although I was sure it wasn't a completely new concept. Didn't know it had a name, though! What interested me was how they mentioned you have to deal with the player suddenly turning around. I presume that means making sure you don't have loads of texture popping going on.

Bloody fine job!

Yeah! Game developer excuse, buy faster hardware!

Just killed my first Thundermaw.

Wow that was intense and enjoyable battle.

Took ages as am only level 20. Spent most of the fight running and hiding behind rocks and walls while knocking components off lol
