Yesterday, Sony and Guerrilla Games announced that Horizon Zero Dawn will be coming on the PC on August 7th. Alongside this announcement, the teams released a brand new PC trailer for this game. Thus, YouTube’s ‘Cycu1’ has compared the PC trailer with the PS4 Pro version of Horizon Zero Dawn.
As we can see, the PC version looks almost exactly like the PS4 Pro. The biggest benefits of the PC version will be the unlocked framerate and the ability to use higher resolutions. Moreover, the PC version will feature dynamic foliage and better reflections. Other than these minor improvements, though, the PC version will look identical to the PS4 Pro version.
From the looks of it, the game’s LOD will also be the same. This is something that may displease some that have already played the game on PS4 Pro. It would be nice to have a better LOD on the PC, however, it appears that this won’t happen.
Horizon Zero Dawn on the PC will support ultra-wide resolutions and monitors, 4K resolutions and unlocked framerates. Moreover, it will have a benchmark tool, and a Field of View slider. In March 2020, Guerrilla Games claimed that it had no plans to add a FOV slider. Apparently the team has re-considered it and implemented one in the game.
Enjoy the following comparison video between Horizon Zero Dawn PC and Horizon Zero Dawn PS4 Pro!

“Horizon Zero Dawn on the PC will support ultra-wide resolutions and monitors, 4K resolutions and unlocked framerates”.things like this are standard.the developer is just not tampering with them.that’s all.
Yep its all marketing bullshit to attract the sheep
I swear you people can’t appreciate anything. It’s frankly sad.
lol. Selling game on pc with words like uncapped fps and 4k resolution is like selling house with ad: it have electric power and bathroom. Those are basic requirements to you can a game PC game
They’re differentiating it from the PS4 version, and stating what is new and changed. It would be stupid to not tell people about the changes they’ve made, especially those who will be playing it again (myself included).
People already know what this game is and that it reviewed very well. The only thing left is what is new. Pretty basic stuff.
Nope these aren’t standards, Most PC gamers are playing on a 60hz 16/9 monitor, that’s why a lot of games, especially console ports don’t have a native form of these features, the PC video was telling people that they’re going to make a solid port, and take into account the marginal number of people using 21/9 monitors, as for unlocked framerates, a lot of PC focused games like TES, Fallout and Command & Conquer have locked framerates without mods, so yes it’s pretty enjoyable and good news that a PS4 exclusive is coming to PC with all the bells and whistles while Wolfenstein The New Order (a shooter from a PC franchise) is locked at 60
Exactly this. Devs don’t need to add these things, but they are. They’ve going the extra mile for a very small subset of gamers and they don’t even appreciate it. I’ll be supporting them.
Same here, definitely going to buy, hope that the sequel is coming to PC too
You can get a fiver off in the Steam sale I got it for £ 27.99.
Thanks for the info
Just noticed that they have put the price up to 39.99 sadly but, you can still get the £5.00 off.
Yep got it for 44 with 5 bucks off
I bought the game as soon as it went on sale. even tho I own it on ps4. Stoked as hell to replay it!
I’d rather support From/Bluepoint doing that Bloodborne port ffs.
Let’s wait and see mate, at least the Horizon ZD PC video shows proper graphics config menu with multiple options while Halo MCC only has presets, also i’m pretty sure that Guerrilla are far better devs than 343 Industries
Wel said.sadly selling crap has become the norm for the morons nowdays.
Hm, yet many developers don’t follow them. Also this is a port, don’t forget.
People here just want to whine, regardless of the developer’s intentions of doing a good port.
Yeah thats why I almost never bother to read any comments. All they do is complain. Nothing ever seems to make em happy. Really disgusting and makes me sick. Frikking b*tching is all they live for. What a Sad way to live!
I mean those things are and should be base features on PC.
Why market something which people expect there to be in the first place?
That trailer looks more like it’s intended for console player who has no idea about those options.
Trump 2020
Thanks for announcing your stupidity.
Your tears when he wins again in 2020 🙂
His own base is turning on him. He won with a minority last time. His followers are literally dying by the thousands because they listen to his covid lies. No chance this time.
Enjoy sipping bleach. Intelligent people are heading to the polls this time.
Lol the riot chimp outs guaranteed trump’s win. Sorry Incel , ur team loses.
You’ll complain whatever a dev does huh ? When it was an exclusive people bashed the exclusivity, and now it isn’t and people here are bashing the dev for promoting a solid port, and you’ll be here bashing them if the port was 30 fps only, you know what people do when they can’t enjoy anything ? Suicide !! try it
He would literally complain if the framerate was locked at 30 or unlocked at this point. Widescreen or ultrawide, Improved or not. Idiots like this make us all look like giant toddlers.
Idiots like you are the reason why pc games with limited fps,ported or not,exist in the first place.imbecile.
Wait… It’s the fault of people like me, who appreciate these features, for games not having them? That makes no sense at all.
Support for good ports brings more support. Not complaining about them.
Yeah,you are looking at basic natural features as if they are things like HBAO,volumetric lighting…
For god’s sake 4k resolution and unlocked fps must be there naturally no matter if it is a port or not.
Sure thing bro. Sure thing.
He’s supporting a seemingly good port, and you’re complaining about it, i’ll say people like you are the reason why sh*t ports still exist, because you’re complaining whatever happens
He is supporting unlocked fps as a feature. so he and you are the reasons such sh*t exists. because you praise developers whatever sh*t they throw at you.
Welcome to the hypocritical readers of DSOG, and they like to call themselves as PC Master Race.
It’s not standard when it’s coming from a console only port.
You say that but there are PLENTY of non-ported PC games that dont have those features so your entire comment is null and void. Do you understand how little of a % of PC games support ultrawide? There are plenty of PC games that dont have unlocked framerate and you need to mess with mods or .ini files which mess up game speed. Use your brain please
I am using my brain but you are using your big mouth to suck the lazy devlopers balls.keep sucking moron.people like you are the reason why such basic features are advertised as if they are something special.having a lot of crappy limited fps games doesn’t mean it is not something basic. it means nowdays developers suck like when they limit a game’s fps…
4K just never really gained any traction. According to the Steam Hardware Survey only 2% are running 4K while 65% are running 1080p. I don’t think it’s because of the price of the 4K monitors. They have really come down in price. It’s the cost of the video card required to run them and you just about have to upgrade every generation to keep up with 4K.
Actually you don’t I’ve been using 4k for many years now. I’m still on the intel i7 6700k and a 2080 which runs every AAA game at 4k 60hz with just a couple of settings turned down to high from Ultra.
Prior to that I used a 6700k and 980ti and before that an Intel i7 920 do stepping CPU and 780 series Titan.
You’d be suprised at the performance you can achieve with your hardware. I have tried and owned many monitors including Ultra Wides and I find anything lower than 4k res to look soft.
Then you get my point about buying a new GPU every generation to try to stay on top of 4K. The only generation that you missed was Pascal. You’ve spent around $2,000 on GPUs in the past 7 years pursuing 4K gaming. The vast majority of gamers couldn’t afford that and that is why so few game at 4K.
You are partly right but for example I sold my 980ti Kingpin for about 500 and my 2080 cost me about 800. So it was three hundred to upgrade if you see what I mean. I’ve had the same CPU, MB, Ram etc since the 6700k released the only upgrade was a 2tb m.2 NVME drive and I upped my ram to 32gb.
4K was pushed to sell televisions, not game monitors
Having 4k resolution is very basic man. it is really not a feature. i know what you are saying but telling us we are supporting 4k is just complete joke.
That and 4k monitors only make sense to upgrade from 144p 144hz if the 4k monitor is/has:
32″+
120/144hz
HDR1000
RGB /s
a 27″, non-HDR 60hz 4k monitor isn’t worth purchasing at all.
Hold on. Many in the comments on youtube say that the PC footage was taken with a 580 on medium settings. If so it is VERY misleading.
That would explain it.
It does seem highly probable, and I’d expect it to be par the course for Sony level manipulation.
So console settings? seems like they dont want to let the PS4 look like it is, a piece of crap.
PS4 is 10 year old hardware lol it was outdated the year it came out yet still has better looking games than any other platform. rtx 2080to can barely handle 4k and costs as much as 5 ps4s
Yea….no.
Every word you said is wrong., The PS4 doesn’;t render 4k. It’s upscaled. A 2080ti costs as much as 4 PS4s,.too.
The video says that the benchmark ran on Rx580 with “original” preset.
What is « original preset » exactly ? Hope they didn’t crank this up to medium and say wowowoow 70fps mucho graphico wowo
Original preset seem to be on par to PS4 graphics.
Why would you even waste your time comparing a low quality trailer on PC to the PS4 now anyway? The game isn’t even out!
I mean I’m a sony fan and a hardcore one but don’t be a loser by spreading spoilers buddy.
This game is anti white man SJW Woke propaganda.
And the protagonist was mad ugly and mannish on purpose.
100%
Nice to see that the console version’s pixelated fine details due to whatever checkerboarding/reconstruction method it uses not appearing in the PC version.
that crispy look on PC its something that keeps me playing on PC platform !
Beside bad optimized games ofc .. Mafia 2 def,Borderlands 3 and few others
I never really expected a Sony owned company to pull out any stops for a PC version. Unlike MS, Sony wants to keep that tainted image, that their platform is good, regardless, but it’s not something I’ll look at in a positive light..
so basically no difference.
Useless comparison with “original preset”
It is medium setiings vs ps4 pro
Game still looks ghey AF
Maybe modders will Russian the game up. Just like Russia did to their country by banning the ghey marriage. Maybe they can unghey the game.
lod is much better on pc as i can see.look at 3.17 to 3.40 .
its a great port .shadows ambient occlusion anisotropic filter reflections lod blurriness ..are all improved esp lod and shadows lod and distance and dynamic foliage .what are u talking about sir????
shadows on ps4 was just terrible esp shadows lod .and the nasty blurriness on ps4 pro .
this game was meant to be played on pc .this games beautiful foliage and mountain details was just hidden under the dust of ps4 blurriness
Indeed, within the first 30 seconds it’s incredibly obvious that at the very least, lighting has improved/changed considerably.
yeah they improved the games graphics in every aspects possible.from 3.17 to 3.40 its obvious that its way better than ps4 pro.i really wanted to see this game on pc with best graphics possible and they gave it to me .a great port.i wish they port killzone 2 and 3 and shadowfall on pc too.
For me its what makes the difference is Mouse/Keyboard, Ultrawide support, Much better performance, ReShade, Steam features, Modding Potential. Everything else is a bonus.
I see you keep posting this YT channel. What is he your boyfriend?
I’ve already played the game to completion at 60FPS, just turn on Motion Interpolation on the TV and set it to High/Maximum. Of course you need a TV that doesn’t use a method that introduces the uncanny valley effect nor excessive lag to enjoy it.
The raw 30FPS footage in this video makes me cringe. I don’t understand how anyone can stand that judder.
That is absolutely not the same thing. For one, frame interpolation increases lag instead of ruducing it, like actually playing at 60 does. Not to mention all the artifacting…ewww. No, smooth motion is not a substitute and honestly should be avoided. Raw 30 is better. Not that I can stand 30 fps either.
The amount of perceived lag is dependent on the TV model and the individual playing the game. The severity of artifacts is dependent on the TV model.
TV’s don’t all use the same Motion Interpolation system. Some produce a god awful artificial smoothing of motion that has an extreme Uncanny Valley feeling (Soap Opera effect), some TV’s have god awful latency issues and some are bad at minimizing the notability of the artifacts and some TV’s suffer a combination of the 3 issues.
It is possible to get a TV that avoids at least 2 of the issues, in my case I’m fine with noticeable artifacting. It is far nicer to deal with than the entire scene moving like a blurry stuttery slide show at half or quarter the TV’s refresh rate (60Hz means you also have horrible display panel ghosting to deal with, which the 120/240Hz modes greatly minimize).
Other than the removal of minor artifacts, the 60FPS footage in this video doesn’t look much different to me in terms of motion smoothness.
Im not seeing any improvement over the PS4 version from that video, looks like a direct port. Hopefully they put more effort into the M&KB support.
I don’t expect to see better graphics. But the higher resolutions will def make it look better
Console players beta testing, thanks!

i cant wait for playtation fanboys excuses here.
Honestly I can’t see much difference other than pc version having a blue filter added (which imo is less realistic). If you can see other differences, please show me.
You can experience feminism in 4K and 60fps with the pc version.
LOL.
Native 4k 60hz on PC is a massive difference.
Probably, but it isn’t visible in this trailer.
Others point out that this trailer is captured on “Original setting”, whatever that means, so it could be that.
The rocks had more details in them. I could not see much more difference than that.
It is an Ubisoft open world template game.
the pc trailer was not at ultra settings but at medium preset. (if you go back and watch the trailer again.) youtube comments are filled with the claims and click-bate comparison.
in short they are comparing a PS4 Pro against a PC Original settings. The PC Original version = PS4 Pro so PS4Pro owners can brag against normal PS4 owners..
We, the Glorious PCM, ofcourse know who will laugh in the end when we go above the Original setting… yes im talking about ULTRA graphics in 144fps Ultra Wide…way above and more beautiful than what is shown in the Console Peasant settings.
This video is proof how Console peasants desperately want to reach our dimension..
Cringe, just saying
Also imagine upvoting your own comment
Joel died by a Golf Club swing from a bodybuilding woman ? Check on Kratos and Nathan they need your support
Preach! Console pheasants deserve their low settings.
the only i can see is 60fps vs 30fps. LOL
the pc trailer was not at ultra settings but at medium preset. (if you go back and watch the trailer again.) youtube comments are filled with the claims and click-bate comparison.
And once again, Microsoft wins with the superior PC port. Great job with this comparison.
downgrade…great
PC gamers finally getting our leftovers XD XD XD Dont worry the sequel wont EVER make it to PC so soon youll shift to PS master race, as you all should cus we have all the quality games, just like its always been and always will be XD XD XD poor plebs

*cries at 25fps
Laughs in IDGAF beat the game twice with over 100 hours of playtime. Now please don’t forget to buy the game so you can further fund the PS5 version (which will never get released on PC) for us buddy ??????????????????????
Well, we’ll gladly help you peasants to have some more games to buy and play at 20fps. We know that you need our help, so don’t worry, we’re here to assist you. After all, we’re the MASTER RACE™.
take this misleading BS down lol
Just check in the first part of the video, how the PS4 Pro version is laggy…
What’s with the lack of lighting in the PC version?
