@Ralizah Lightning is very good in the game, it’s just this „hero lightning“ in this game. Not my taste as well… nevertheless game looks incredible good.
@Max_the_German fully agree but the average consumer might go for all these stickers. Just look at all those Soundbars and even Tablets with Dolby/Atmos sticker etc. For a music fan this hurts but it in general it gives a marketing feeling for quality and it seems to work for the average customer.
@Max_the_German it’s an unnecessary sticker… there might be an 8K output for the UI, Streaming services and some indie titles but nothing really major. Due to the lack of 8K TVs and material it’s an unnecessary topic currently.
@darthvirgin I agree. The lack of infos before release is still very very strange here. Let’s see. I will try it out as well after midnight. Thrilled for the dlc. So many games on my pile of shame… uff working on it xD
@knowles2 probably that’s the case but there is still a lot of competition going on, even with a weak Xbox. I can understand not investing a ton of regular marketing money but you could at least work together with blogs and game media.
Horizon with its graphics is an absolutely showcase for consoles and even PC fans. Don’t understand to not use this to boost the Ps5 awareness even further because so many people complaining about the lack of visual stunning next gen titles.
@rjejr it’s just an accessibility option that won’t be active with the standard setting. No need to turn it on. Could you spot the improved clouds in the base game with the patch installed?
@Beerheadgamer82 there seems to be an issue with the preload currently.
For me it worked exactly on midnight from Su/Mo (ps5 disc version)… for a friend also with the disc who tried it a day later it’s still not working. Hope they can fix this asap.
Nevertheless nothing to worry about because the dlc is „only“ around 16 gb… with a regular and good internet connection it won’t take long to download.
@neitan I would guess that the patch comes as well to the ps4 version with the accessibility options, probably a bit later. They’re focussing on the dlc launch for the moment, which is ps5 only.
@Beerheadgamer82 no the dlc is about 15-16 gb additional and doesnt come with such an game update. Looking forward for the changelog of the patch and if they add the clouds to the base game as well.
I think it’s really strange what Sony is doing here. It’s an exclusive dlc for a ps5 game and an absolutely visual showcase for the system… Sony so far haven’t done anything in terms of marketing. If they don’t want to spend money for marketing, for whatever reason, they could at least invite some gaming blogs to a presentation or send out review codes earlier.
I highly believe that the dlc will be great but it’s a very strange behavior from Sony. You could think that they want to hide something because the quality of the dlc isn’t that good… but I don’t think and hope so.
Looking forward to it. Did the preload as well after midnight. Excited to see the new Horizon 2 patch that will come for sure with the dlc and if they cart over the new cloud system to the base game.
@Playstation4Ever I don’t worry about quantities but more about the quality. We will see a lot of indie and AA games for Vr - which doesn’t have to be bad, but I hope we get more exciting big titles like GT and RE with a Vr implementation.
@Impossibilium you’re right but otherwise we need to keep in mind that all these updates were given out for free and there is for sure only a very small team that is still working on the Witcher 3.
@Rhaoulos it’s a nice technical achievement to let a game run with such a high framerate. I get your point that GT7 isn’t a full „next gen“ release… but with even better visuals such a high framerate won’t be possible. This cross-gen phase has it’s ups and downs. Pretty happy to have these visuals with high framerates instead of even better looking but only 30 fps running games.
@naruball it’s always Sonys fault… the weak performance of the series is not because of the lack of exciting games it’s Sonys fault and money all the time (while Ms has unlimited money otherwise)…
@NEStalgia Even GT7 has only a native 60 fps mode for VR but this doesn’t hold many players back from it. Sure a higher framerate would have been nice but the fidelity of the game would be heavily downgraded.
@Wheatly the ps4 is now more than 9 years old… get over it please. This has nothing to do with consumer friendliness or whatever. Technology evolves. Name one gaming or consumer technology device that is supported almost 10 years… Really can’t get this demand here. The ps4 was a fantastic console but please stop begging that every single new game or feature should be release for the old hardware as well.

@Ralizah that’s true. That’s an issue with the visuals but everything else is stunning.
Re: Gallery: Is Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores the Best Looking Game Ever?
It is. This is easily one of the top 3 best looking games on the market currently and the best on consoles. Full stop.

Way better as with glasses under the headset.

Would buy it with a small discount. Love boxing and it would be a nice workout.
