Sony has lifted the review embargo for the PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn. Thus, you can find below over one hour of gameplay footage from Horizon Zero Dawn PC. The following videos will give you an idea of how the game looks on the PC on Ultra/High Settings.
Now while the publisher has not provided us with a review code, we’ll be sure to purchase the game for our PC Performance Analysis. Since we don’t have access to the game yet, our article may be slightly delayed. We also don’t know whether the game uses the Denuvo anti-tamper tech or not.
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. Even though Guerrilla Games claimed that it had no plans to add a FOV slider, there is actually one in the game. Apparently the team has re-considered it and implemented one, something that will please a lot of PC gamers. Also note that while Death Stranding supported DLSS 2.0, Horizon Zero Dawn does not. This is most likely due to the partnership between Sony and AMD.
Horizon Zero Dawn releases on the PC on August 7th!

aside from the large varied world and the graphics, whats the big deal with this game? Looks borring.
It is boring.
I mean, it’s just another game but the fact that is was locked under exclusivity makes people curious about it.
And the graphics (on the PS) are far away from being amazing. Washed textures all over.
This is going to need a heavy dose of reshade
Truth.
You are not allowed to disagree. Be gone ! 😛
what did he say message deleted?
he said asf
combat looks awful and boring, what the fkc are you on about you dumb bich.
Turd… yeahhh sure
me asking a question, you downvoting like a dumbass without answering.
Lol, the pot calling the kettle black.
You should know what I mean…
no i dont i always answer questiosn
Is like any other Ubisoft game, but made by Sony so it gets a pass for that it looks like.
Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay looks like a modded Skyrim too…and what they showed so far is before all the cut content and features.
7 August 2020, not 9.
Unshackled at last
so whats so good about this game?
The story is surprisingly very good especially when you discover the truth about how the world gone to this state.
The graphics and environments no need for further explanation there.
The sound design and music is very good.
The gameplay sure there is some open world tropes that other games did and still does but it does it well without spamming too much of it
The combat is the biggest strength of this game each machine even the weakest one got weakpoints or elemental weakness and each fight can be different in the way you aproach them its not simply about spamming arrows and dodging until you win, lets just take some machines: they are weak to an element but also have attachments that have elemental weaknesses when shot at you trigger an elemental explosion or stagger them or just remove an ability they have, it also can change the way they fight if you remove their capacities for long range weapons they will try to melee you agressively you can even detach a weapon from them and use it against them, before engaging a fight you can set traps,this game is like monster hunter with machines and more possibilities than just your class of character, each fight can be quite epic and makes you feel like an hunter if you do well.
Anyway the selling point of this game are those machines and the way you interact/fight with th i can say guerilla nailed it.
For me its the best ps4 exclusive i enjoyed it more than bloodborne(for some reason i did not love it as much as demons soul)
And the new god of war(i prefer the gameplay of the older god of war games)
And uncharted 4 was not as great as people claim it is, its just uncharted 3 but prettier and the wow factor of this series is gone and wont age well due to their linear design
The only other exclusive i really liked on ps4 was spiderman my only complain it was too short and did not take enough risks with its gameplay but it was efficient.
“The story is surprisingly very good especially when you discover the truth about how the world gone to this state.”
is it climate change and ai robots?
“The graphics and environments no need for further explanation there.

so i was right wasnt i?
“For me its the best ps4 exclusive i enjoyed it more than bloodborne(for some reason i did not love it as much as demons soul)

which is why i say ps4 exlusives are meh, another souls game that rumors say its coming to pc. Uncharted 4 was not as good as 3 which wasnt as good as 2 and daddy of war the last of us edition is not a god of war game.
Its not climate change, sure you could say its ai war machines gone rogue…
But there is a twist about how the world “survived” that crisis
As for ps4 exclusives, well i wont argue it was the most lackluster gen in term of exclusives but not just ps4 also the xbox one even the switch suffered, each gen consoles get less and less exclusives, last gen there was much more variety and more reasons to own consoles this gen i think it will be even worst in term of exclusives they will be even less and less originality no more risks is being taken in gaming, profit has taken over passion
“well i wont argue it was the most lackluster gen in term of exclusives ”
” each gen consoles get less and less exclusives,”
why i dont care about next gen,.
Loved it on the PS4. Getting it on PC as well, cause got $10 off coupon.

Steam store page has no info about “D” the same goes to SteamDB
and? that didnt stop em before? Or am i wrong?
I saw it too.
Not that this game worth anyway, but who knows.
btwn preload is available on steam & currently it doesn’t have denovu (only steam protection), but you never know, denovu always pops up on release date outta no where
This game is good but not as good as Sony ponies were claiming it to be , Sony ponies always hype up there Garbage exlusives like the last of us 2 , there are far more other better games on PC then HZD ,
Story in TLOU2 is one of the reasons why I rate TLOU2 so high. It’s a true emotional rollercoaster and a fresh take on revange story, because it shows consequences of the revange. In reality there was no difference between Abby and Ellie, because both were good people who lost their human soul later on (were blinded by the revange). TLOU2 story is also structured in multiple timelines, so people need to play entire game in order to understand the whole picture. Not everyone can understand art, so I can understand why some people dont like the story in this game.
Besides story TLOU2 has also AMAZING combat mechanics. You have to plan each enemy encounter and play “chess” with the enemies because otherwise you will quickly run out of ammo. TLOU2 has also very beautiful world, so exploration is extremely fun by itself. I know there are no RT in this game, but graphics in TLOU2 still impressed me more than lets say Control running on PC (baked GI looks amazing, and TLOU2 has also the best SSR implementation I have ever seen).
I rate TLOU2 10/10, but even if I wouldn’t lIke the story in this game, I would still rate TLOU2 somehwere around 8/10 because there are so many strong points in this game. I can only complain about missing 60fps mode (although there is optional slow motion mode, that makes aiming easier at 30fps), but no sane person would expect 60fps on PS4P in such beautiful game. I hope PS5 remaster with 60fps mode is in the works, because for me personally TLOU2 is one of the best games of all times and I cant wait to play it at 60fps?.
You should play more games if TLOU 2 is a 10/10 for you.
LOL…sure, people that have problems with the game (and it has plenty) are just making up all in their heads….funny how you started with the “everyone have different opinions” bullcrap too to end up with that nonsense.
yeah i didn’t even read all that crap non sense he wrote to defend his papa sony
lol yeah 100% agree , couldn’t have said it better , this guy defending TLOU2 is just a sony pony trying to defend his papa sony
lol sony pony just can’t admit that tlou2 is pure garbage , story writing is pure sh** and the ending is ridiculous , you’re only defending this game because you regret paying for it and now you want to justify your purchase on pc gaming website and defend your Papa Sony.
People just hear a negative thing and repeat it like sheep. most of the time without even playing the game or even owning a ps4. I love TLOU2. my brother in law loved it. My friends love it. It honestly is just a vocal few online that have nothing better to do. Whatever!
Even if you ppl don’t like the story. The game is fun and quality as hell. I feel sorry for anybody who dismisses it. It felt like a next gen game. Ahead of it’s time. My only criticism of the game is the 30frames per second. That is it!!! But that isn’t the games fault. It was pushing my launch ps4 to the limits. Looking forward to replaying it on a ps5 one day with higher frame rates. Incredible game. I find it annoying everybody complains companies pop out the same bs copy pasted games… Then a company comes around that has the balls to do some extreme different things and ppl lash out. In the end… there is no pleasing anybody and when we keep getting cookie cutter garbage… the vocal minority will be the ones to blame.
PS: Gaming community is toxic as hell. The comments on this website is a dumpster fire. But it has been better since I have blocked all the regular buzzkill comment warriors.
It look’s indeed, very good! Wow.
Every single comment he makes is about politics. Best to just ignore him.
Dude wake up POLITICS is in everything, specially now days.
Sure, doesn’t change the fact that latex has a hard on for over exaggerating everything.
He is just the local depressive jerk always trying to be edgy.
And saying things he have no idea about.
Like a raving hobo let him drown in his own madness.
I bet he regurgitates the same drivel on that abomination of a website called one angry gamer.
Every single game they make is about politics. Best to just ignore them.
It’s also best to ignore nut jobs
Says the user with “crzyhorse2” as a nickname…
Wow you got me. Now I’ll be sure to take pretentious comments on this website seriously.
Noted, i’m glad you find my comment illuminating.
Finally. This game had far too nice visuals to be bogged down by 30fps.
Finally, some good game on PC! Thank you Sony.
Those speed up animations are really bad…
Daily reminder.

Jesus, guy, cheer up!
Are you like that every single moment of your life, resentful, filled with loathing? Jesus, try to have a positive outlook on life.
The man is jaded clearly, i can’t blame him…the game industry (the whole entertainment industry to be fair) is filled with SJW agenda…always was, now is just more noticeable.
whoever it is i have them blocked. Then you don’t have to see their garbage comments LOL
Pretty concept arts. Ugly finished product 🙂
This game looks soo much better than Durka durka’s mom’s stinking rotten possy
Been playing this for the last week for evalutation on PC,
I ran it on the following:
i7 – 6700K @4 GHz
Ram: 32 GB
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 980 TI (6 GB)
I thought with the recommended requirement being the following:
OS: Windows 10 64-bits
Processor: Intel Core i7-4770K@3.5GHz or Ryzen 5 1500X@3.5GHz
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 580 (8GB)
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 100 GB available space
I assumed I would definitely get very decent performance, seeing how I am averaging 50-60 fps on ultra settings on even the recent games like Death Stranding at 1440p.
But Even on lowest settings at 1440p, I could’t go past 35
Wonder if its because DX12 doesn’t work as well on the 900 series of cards at all. Which is holding back a lot of the performance.
Anywho it might be worth considering for anyone not gaming on the latest cards, which all pc gameplays seem to be doing.
stoked to replay it. ppl complaining in the comments… lol whatever!
Just consume, right?
It’s a video game… this is a video game website. I play games for fun. I guess don’t ever play any games ever again. Or does that not apply to you? Why are you even here then? DUUUUR!
Duuur? grow up.
Sweet ya go live in the forest then!!! Might as well give up gaming entirely Don’t consume! Duuuur
Am i the only one who found the combat in this gameplay tedious ?
