I personally loved Horizon, then again for some reason I got really invested in that world. I also loved the beasts you would fight - Thunderjaws were amazing, so were the Frozen Wilds beasts (some legit tough monsters there), the birds, crocs etc. Loved it. Hope they really go crazy with robo animal designs in the sequel.
Horizon is my favorite new IP, I like God of war but I think there is too many builds. I like the skill tree of HZD is not very big. I would have preferred it to be even tiniest and gain some attack when leveling up.
My only big complaints is fight against human is not so compelling and it is a big part of the main story...
Yep. Best new IP this gen. Amazing combat, great story, Aloy is awesome and the soundtrack is fantastic :)
Well deserved runner-up GOTY in 2017. Horizon 2 on PS5 will melt our minds ;)
Yeah, being curious what they have to show beside Tlou2 :)
I expect some PSVR launch dates for Iron Man or Paper Beast and hopefully a new VR announcement.
Iron Man is at the moment the only upcoming Sony published PSVR game and 2020 looks empty...
They literally said we shouldnt expect anything next gen, cmon people.
Human combat definitely wasn't good. I didn't like it, when you can blow off turrets and stuff from huge creatures, going from that to fighting is quite the downgrade! Hopefully the sequel can improve on that aspect as its really the only thing that I don't recall enjoying.
Excited to see more of Iron Man. You know, Team Asobi has been working on something for a year now (Astro Bot 2 or something else), maybe they could be a good candidate for this SoP?
Kinda thinking it could it be a good opportunity announce those Insomniac VR titles coming to PSVR.
Unless those are locked under some timed Oculus Rift deal still.
Astro Bot 2 would be an amazing announcement or finally some Sony Manchester news....
I believe their VR titles will stay longer Oculus exclusive.
Insomniac should make Resistance 3 VR with aim gun support :D
I'm pretty sure someone earlier guessed it would be exactly this, eg the bracelet with this exact quote.
This is the bracelet of Dinah, Ellie's girlfriend. Elli wears it when she kills the cult member during gameplay sequence...
Dina (RIP). Ellie wears it in the gameplay video.

It's Dina's hamsa charm bracelet. Such bracelets are common throughout the Middle East, and often serve a religious purpose or as a good luck charm.
In the cutscene where Ellie is dancing with Dina, Dina is wearing it, yet in the gameplay that takes place a year later, Ellie is wearing it. Presumably Dina either dies or gives it to Ellie for good luck.
If we're to actually relate to Ellie's insatiable lust for revenge and sheer rage, then either Dina or Joel, or both, have to go. There's nothing else I could think of that would really sell it. That or the entire town gets raided and slaughtered.
Stomach is churning already...this game is going to be an emotional rollercoaster.
Honestly as time's gone on I've come to appreciate God of War less and less.
I just can't help but compare it to TLOU (both being story focused, character driven games) and focus on how much better TLOU is in so many categories.
I'll wait to see how it's done but yeah, not a fan of the good old fridging.
Why is it that video games are held to a different standard than movies? You don't see ppl talking about overexposure to violence in movies or tv shows. I think it's because games are still viewed as a child's hobby that shouldn't depict violence or sex accurately. Seeing all these threads pop up on this forum just has me thinking about it. I think video games are an art form, and should be respected as such just like movies.
Are u talking about games or interacting with ppl about it?
Tbh we discovered this already at e3 2018. So nothing new at All...
Some of the criticism is hollow, but movies are also taken to task if the violence displayed has no meaning behind it.
Maybe you just don't pay attention to the movie discourse because it is a continual conversation about movies and violence, sexual representation, and thematic content in them.
I think everyone at that camp is dead joel to, the cult was after ellie and killed the camp shes the lone wolf out for revenge
I feel like the violence always has context though, I can't think of too many times in games or movies where violence was on display and I had no idea what was going on.
It could be really great if everyone dies except Ellie and her mind breaks to the point of going on a rampage. The moments of reflexion would be incredibly impactful.
I trust in ND execution in whatever they tell us.
i think the first trailer with joel asking her if shes gonna go through with it is real, and does happen but yea shes just snapped and is talking to "ghost"
🤔🤔🤔... I am starting to think Dinah is not dead for some reason. I wonder if she was captured by the cult and Ellie just thinks she was killed by them.
Ultimately, the difference is between having context and having justified context.
Presumably, TLOU2's depiction of elevated and uncomfortable violence has some sort of thematic or story reasoning beyond what we found in TLOU1. Movies rarely handle violence in the same way because they don't have an element of interactivity. Interactivity can lead to unintended glorification when the contextual justification behind the violence is weak. Hence, ND stating that the theme of the game is "hate." To clearly show that the elevated violence in this game doesn't exist "just because they could." How it all pans out in the final game remains to be seen of course.
Those conversations aren't brought to the forefront the way they are with games. I'm sure it's a debate in some circles but movies aren't nearly scrutinized and ridiculed for depicting violence accurately the way games are. We've seen countless numbers of movies and shows that show gruesome violence and it's all good as long as it's labeled rated R. However with games even when rated M, they take heat for their depictions of violence. I get ppl that don't partake in gaming having that opinion, what I don't get are ppl that do game but have issues with excessive violence. You must have issues with it in movies too then right?
Edit: I think I just needed to consider the interactive nature of games, ppl take issue with violence in games due to you being "responsible" of that violence.
