Horizon Zero Dawn

Really enjoying this. It’ll be a bit of a shorter experience this time around since I’m doing new game plus, but it also adds a bit of a different approach to my last playthrough. I’m enjoying seeing the story from the start knowing what we know by the end of forbidden west. I may even play that again after this.

Agree with the dynamic hud. Also worth looking at the other settings as there are a few that improve the experience.
 
I've started a new playthrough as I've only played it once before, when it first came out, and I'm as addicted to it now as I was then, despite knowing the story. The graphics are a big upgrade, and the facial anims way better (though not as good as the DLC or Forbidden West). And it's running so smooth, even at max detail.

The performance increase is the first thing I noticed as opposed to the original.

Even though I have a 4090 and an oc'd (but under-volted) 12700K, performance on the OG was less than impressive, poor compared to HFW.

All changed now, which is one of the main reasons for me to upgrade.

The performance is good,but nowhere near the original on my 7800XT.I still get over 60fps at 4k max settings with FSR quality, before I think I was getting over 80-90 fps without upscaling
 
Outside Xbox did a preview of Lego Horizon Adventure, coming out on various platforms on 14th November.

~£44 pre-order on cdkeys for pc, opt-in to their bonus cdkoins promo and this will help towards getting up to 500 joins to use around black Friday.
The game looks pretty decent so far, I'll probably pick it up once its like £10-15 or if it gets added to a Humble Choice
 
New patch out:

Patch 1.1 is now available for Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered on PC. This update includes various bug fixes and improvements based on community feedback. Read the patch notes below for more details.

The teams at Nixxes and Guerrilla continue to closely monitor reports and are actively working on future patches with additional bug fixes and optimizations.

Patch Notes (1.1.42.0)
  • Pre-rendered cut scenes now have the same audio volume as gameplay.
  • Improvements related to Steam Input*.
  • Resolved a crash that could occur for some players when adjusting mouse and keyboard controls.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause disappearing and/or flickering shadows in Meridian when playing on ultrawide resolutions.
  • HUD markers for objectives are now rendering correctly when using a custom Field of View setting.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a bow to appear floating in a cinematic.
  • Various user interface improvements.
  • Performance improvements.
  • Stability improvements.

* We are aware of players reporting issues when using controllers with Steam Input enabled. This update contains improvements, and the team is working on additional updates to fully address the reported issues. As a workaround, while we work on updates, we recommend disabling Steam Input when using supported controllers.
 
I 100%'d HZD on Steam and got given a key for the re-master, I was hoping it would pick up on that and let me do a NG+ so I keep my level/armor, but only get a new game option :( Or is there a way around this? Maybe import a save? I haven't had HZD installed for ages but should have Steam Cloud.

Does look great though!

Damn, I think I did like 99% or something. How did you get a key? Who contacted you? :)
 
I played HZD to the end and loved it. I was going to 100% it but a load of achievements didn't pop. (It is a known issue) and the only way to get them was to play the game through again. I couldn't do that again. :(
You need to do NG+Ultra Hard to get 100% so you'd have to beat the game again anyway, dooooooo it :p
