I think we may have gotten our first look at Vast Silver. Also Angela Basset AND Carrie-Anne Moss good lord 90s me is freaking out here.

That was my first thought and holy poo poo yes. The focus on allies are pretty cool too. It’d be fun to see if you can have them tag along throughout the game or if they’re just meant to be around for various point/set pieces

You think so but wait until the Ted Faro church that dominates the forbidden west is revealed. He deleted the knowledge but his TED talk videos survived.

I mean fun as it sounds they would have to make so many excuses for a Horus booting up not immediately be the start of another extinction event that I can't imagine it would be very fun.

On the flip side, what if Aloy is the one that boots up the Horus and pilots it :getin:

So I read somewhere that I can just buy the PS4 version for 60 and they will auto upgrade to the ps5 version? If I buy the ps5 version it's 70 I think?

Yes they got bullied into keeping FW as a PS5 launch title so it's entitled to a free upgrade. There's zero reason to get the PS5 version (unless i guess this doesn't apply to digital? Im not sure I gotta look up the exact conditions). It's the last Sony game to get this.

It was ridiculous, my eyes rolled all the way around my skull, but I guess they decided it was better than showing Sylens use his focus to get a Wi-fi connection to select "HadesV.4.994" from a list and wait for it to download.

I wonder how much of it was actual floaty magic color bullshit and how much was just a focus interpretation of the signal. It's a hard thing to actually show.

I really hope they fix one small thing though: I don't want to hunt after foxes in the hope that they drop enough loot to make the special fast travel pouch.

You’re going to have to hunt so much wildlife GAIA will berate you constantly for it.

They just have to get it out of their systems.

Fake spoilers. Go.

Aloy will be able to tame and ride a Glinthawk.

Aloy dies in the first five minutes and you actually play as a clone of Ted Faro named Raiden.

I thought this thread might be the likeliest place to perhaps find like-minded people; is anyone else around here not in the slightest bit enthused by Elden Ring releasing? Like who gives two shits about a new soulsborne when Forbidden West is about to come out? I'm not trying to poo poo on it at all, it's going to be great and popular and loads of people are going to enjoy it - probably including me at some point in the future - and those are all good things that I wish for every game and its players, but right now I couldn't give any less of a fingerful of feces about it if I tried, and I was feeling alone in that so wanted to find if anyone else felt the same way...?

If it turns out I'm alone in that then fine, if not then... also fine; I'll feel like I have company! I'm just curious to know where I stand.

Can someone explain what the co-pilot system is meant to do? Is it just so one person can focus on movement and the other on everything else?

Enables a 2nd controller with mirrored controls. So someone else can literally step in and do input if needed without needing to pass the controller.

I legitimately don’t understand how anyone uses gyro aiming, and Nintendo’s forced use of it in a ton of games (note: almost every Wii game) was a huge turn off for me.

You just waggle your controller and get even better precision, op

The game is (much like the first one) is pretty liberal with locations. Reminder that Horizon: Zero Dawn takes place over 4 states and has landmarks from all of them. We’ve seen some iconic areas of San Francisco and we’ve also seen Nevada Solar One in the trailer so I imagine there’s going to be quite a bit of travel in the sequel.

Forbidden west ps4/ps5 links to the same page, which is 69 dollars. Did they decide to up the ps4 price to 69?

There should be a PS4 version (with digital upgrade to PS5) for 59 on the store page too.

It is fairly straightforward.

You create an army of dinosaurbots based off models you find/buy/win. Each has a certain value with stronger bots having higher values. You have a max of 10 points to spend.

Robots are divided into types. Melee is close range, ranged is far, Ram knocks enemies back" Dash hits in a line, flying csn go over certain tiles, etc.

Some have special passives like bonus damage on certain tiles, deal damage to anything around them, etc.

The play map is made up of tiles. Grass, forest, Hill, Mountain, marsh. The higher your tile the more damage you do. Marsh penalizes most units.

You win by getting 7 Victory Points or by eliminating all of an enemy's units You get points equal to the cost of the unit.

Fort Condor: Robot Dino edition? Hell yeah.
