Nah I've seen both in action and I actually prefer HZD. The color palette and overall aesthetic of the game looks better to me. RDR2 looks more life like, but HZD was straight mesmerizing. My opinion of course.

Horizon and God of War do as well, and to this day both look incredible on a 1080p screen. Even if you think Gears 5 looks better, which I really don't think it does, it's not exactly some kind of flabbergasting leap ahead that makes Horizon and God of War worth a yawn. That's just hyperbole, surely.
Although I'd also put RDR2 at the top I really hate how people in this forum act like it's not even a competition. Horizon is superior in various aspects and God of War is better looking in general, but that's expected for a linear game with fixed lighting. What puts RDR2 at the top for me is its amazing lighting and weather system. It give us so many visually breathtaking moments just wandering around the map. Other visual aspects of the game are also very good, but not the best, but the the overall package is just too strong.
Calm down, fam.
I didn't claim it was a some flabbergasting leap ahead, simply that I find it to be the most visually impressive game I've played so far and going back to the older games doesn't impress as much as it used it.
Before Gears it was God of War, before God of War it was HZD, before HZD it was First Light before First Light it was Second Son and so on.
Graphics have gotten so good at this point it's just a preference of artstyle, tbh.
Exciting.
I beat both,and Horizon blow me away and still,but RDR2 is just another level,especially characters detail and animations,not even close to me.
Yea there is no 3rd party game that looks as good as horizon at all, in pics or in motion. I went back and played Horizon last week and was just in awe how it looked. Red dead comes no where near it for me. The colors, the HDR, the overall animations looks ahead of anything in Red Dead to me.
I find Gears 5 to be dissapointing visually (not that it looks bad, just that it's not near the top) truth be told. It's not even the best looking game I've played this year.
It's just really flat, missing some much needed shadows and ambient occlusion. The art direction also holds it back, with the game bouncing between looking amazing at times and looking pretty meh otherwise.
It's almost a game whose game world feels too clean and sterile at times, as if it hasn't actually been lived in (very notable early on in act 2).
Kick ass HDR though, Sony games should take note.
The only reason I've been holding off is due to their talk of "3D Audio". Not quite sure what that'll mean yet so it might be worth waiting if you want to take advantage of that.
Otherwise, I think the Arctis 7 works via a USB dongle so it should be compatible going forward.
Wouldn't be in my top 20, but to each their own.
Knack 2 looks better than all 3.
That's a good point, I haven't thought of that.
I do wonder how long will it take for third parties (headphones manufacturers) to take advantage of that tho, and if there will be any added cost?
I'm not sure, but I don't think all wireless headphones work with the PS4? I remember looking at a couple some years ago before I bought the HyperX and not every pair worked with the system
I mean it's more likely they'll work if they work on the PS4, but it's still worth considering, they aren't that cheap :s
I know the system doesn't support BT headphones, but generally, any USB associated ones typically work.
As for 3D Audio, that shouldn't have any bearing on the headphones you buy.
So in terms of adquisitions, Bluepoint in the most likely next. If Housemarque's Big AAA debut is going to be a PS exclusive, then they are most likely in RAD's position going into The Order's launch (string of highly aclaimed smaller exclusives, leading to a new AAA IP), as in, this is their "audition" of sorts to be seen as a safe bet for SIE (we all know how that ended for RAD). Thoughts?
Though I love it, I don't think it's top 5 for me. Definitely top 10 though.
Not to mention it was Guerrilla's first attempt at creating an open world game in a brand new genre.
Just imagine the jump Horizon 2 will have not that Guerrilla has, gained some experience, will have new powerful hardware to run the game on, plus whatever improvements Kojima Productions have been adding to the Decima engine itself.
Not exactly the same. RAD went from working on prequels and spinoffs to already established IPs to working on their first brand new AAA IP in The Order 1886. Whereas Housemarque though their upcoming game maybe their first AAA game, they have constantly been creating brand new IP.
Any thoughts of what Insomniac project could end by the end of May 2020?

Lots of old footage but still pretty good, I imagine this is the launch trailer Kojima edited, right?
Do you think Kojima did a "10 minutes Kojima like" launch trailer?
I mean, this one didn't feel very Kojima to me (runtime aside).
Why wouldn't they just write the name of the game then if it's already announced?
It seems like a definite at this point, but I'll still put it out there that I'd love a new Ratchet game on PS5. I miss my Sony mascot platformer games. Sly and Jak deserve to come back too goddamnit!
Interesting.
Now I'm just of the mind that it's a contract position and trying to infer anything about Insomniac's pipeline from that single position is probably fruitless ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'd like to see the good Jak back and not the shit from the sequels
Yeah looks like Sony Bend already getting the ball rolling on their next game.
Probably the next Ratchet & Clank? Seems to be a good chance it will be cross-gen or maybe even shifted to PS5 entirely.
Means about as much as if it were absent, which is nothing.Interesting that Trails of Cold Steel III has Only on PlayStation on the boxart. Full exclusive?
See these acquistions aren't so bad. The employees get free lunch.
Anyone else think there might be a custom Ps5 The last of Us Part 2 console? Lol that would be amazing for the holiday season.
Doubt it. It's practically unheard of to launch a different design that close to launch.
We'll get a TLOU Pt. 2 PS4 Pro, though.
