She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


If enough people are interested, I could make randomized bingo cards for some of the major plot predictions that folks have been making for the past 5 years so that we can all follow along next week!

The game ends and you wake up at The Proving from the first game. You fell off the old trails and hit your head and you dreamed it all.



edit: Post credits Nathan Drake and Sweet Tooth appear to recruit Aloy into something called the Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale Initiative.

I unironically think this will happen. According to one data-log there is at least one copy of Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom somewhere in Gaia Prime, Aloy just didn't find it in her initial search.

so loving stoked for this game. Wont play until the 26th february, after my monthly income and an exam. Until then it is radio silence for all things horizon. Except for maybe technical reviews, how it performs on a base ps4.

It's interesting to think what was included in Apollo vs what wasn't. I just imagine Sylens trying to decipher modern memes. "Aloy, as the old ones used to say: It's free real estate."

Apparently there is a leaked review from a Chinese site that claims there's a flying mount in the new game.

The spoilered text is not a plot thing, just a cool mechanics thing.

Game Informer did an interview with some of the Forbidden West leads last summer and they were surprisingly coy when asked if there would be flying mounts, so if that happened then I wouldn't be too surprised.

In other news, here's a short clip of the game running on a ps poor:

Terrible video compression aside, looks not bad I guess.

e: kinda disingenuous using this clip as a demonstration though, the question is how will it run during combat or in the crowded cities (though I'm sure it'll run perfectly well on my PS5 :smug:)

Lore question - from the video logs it sounds like the Rocky Mountains and parts of the American West were the last redoubts before Zero Day. Is there any lore/evidence that humanity managed to set up cradles and cauldrons anywhere else in the world?

We know there are at least nine Cradle Facilities in the world -- one datapoint mentions a site in China, and another in Africa. All of the known tribes up to this point originated from Eleuthia-9.

I live in Utah for the moment, so discovering where I was in HZD was genuinely thrilling, haha. I love that Faro's HQ was in Salt Lake City. The Vantage lore mentions him buying drugs at the park in Salt Lake where people go to buy drugs. I was highly entertained.

It was one of my biggest delights in the first game when I realized that, instead of just generic Rocky Mountains, it was recognizable real-world buildings. And not only the most famous ones, even a place I've worked at that I thought was mildly obscure. I really do forward to more, even if it'll never quite match the first time going in that blind.
