‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ Cushions Its Delay With A Flashy New Trailer

by Josh Jackson

After revealing Horizon Zero Dawn at E3 last year, it quickly became the first game Sony has shown off that made me excited to be a PlayStation 4 owner. Now that its latest trailer has been released, it impressed me to the point where I almost didn’t care that it’s being delayed!

Moved to a February 28 2017 release, it’s clear to see that Guerrilla Games has put their development time to good use so far. Showing off some stunning new combat clips, Aloy, the game’s star, destroys mechanical dinosaurs with ease thanks to her bow and arrow, displaying its seamless looking combat that comes to life thanks to its jaw dropping graphics and effects. On this journey to find herself and the secrets of her past, Aloy’s adventure is looking more and more like it will be one worth taking.

While a delay is always disappointing, it’s clear that the developer behind the Killzone series is dead set on getting their first attempt at an action role playing game right. But what say you readers? What do you think of Horizon so far and are you affected by the delay? Watch the trailer for yourself and make yourself heard in the comments!

‘Horizon: Zero Dawn’ Keeps Looking Better And Better! Check Out The Newest Demo

by Shane O'Hare

Horizon: Zero Dawn was first shown off way back at E3 2015. The E3 demo really threw us for a loop, as the introduction of robots in a very neanderthal aesthetic.

Guerrilla Games just showed off their press demo for the first time to the public. In the demo they show off two hunts. One where the main character, Aloy, has to track some gazelle looking robots and harvest the canisters on their back. She employs a series of traps, and scares the grazers into them. Next we are shown a huge battle with the big guy from the E3 demo, the Thunder Jaw. Hermen Hulst from Guerrilla explains the different attacks the monster has, and the thought process in how the battle went during the E3 demo.

Game looks better and better, but it makes me just yearn for a current gen console version of Monster Hunter.

No official release date has been announced besides the tentative 2016.

E3 2015: ‘Horizon: Zero Dawn’ Brings A Gorgeous New IP To The PS4

by Josh Jackson

During their E3 press conference, Guerrilla Games, (of Killzone fame,) took the stage to reveal their first project since debuting Playstation’s flagship FPS.

Horizon: Zero Dawn places players in a lush, colorful field, (the complete opposite of Killzone,) where its protagonist, (who shares a resemblance with Heavenly Sword‘s Nariko,) uses a variety of traps to take down towering, mecha inspired monsters that look like they were ripped straight out of an episode of Beast Wars. After doing her best Snow Speeder impression and tethering it down with wires, the impressive demo ends with a long range shot with her high tech rifle, which strikes the exposed weakpoint, delivering massive damage. And it was all in engine, too!

In a sea of remake and sequel hype, it was great to see something that looks as ambitious as Horizon. Whether or not this new IP will live up to the platform it was given to debut on is unknown, but we’ll be sure to report back from the E3 show floor and keep you all informed.
