A new trailer has been released for the new game, "Horizon: Zero Dawn." With some of the footage taken from its PS4 Pro gameplay, the video showcases the upgrade improvements that the console has over its predecessor.
With a tag "Creating a New World," developer Guerilla Games highlighted some of the changes versus the base PS4 console. On the US PlayStation Blog, Michiel van der Leeuw, technical director for Guerilla Games, writes: "Though the game is technically post apocalyptic (or perhaps more accurately, post-post apocalyptic) we wanted to create a vision of nature reclaiming the Earth. PS4 Pro's power afforded us a number of interesting possibilities to expand this vision even further."
The extra detail for the game's visual will be more evident given the gameplay and setting for the title. "Horizon: Zero Dawn" is an open-world RPG, and locations vary from deserts, forests, to snow mountains. Guerilla Games has even added dynamic weather as well as day and night cycle for added effects.
The main improvements that can be seen in the gameplay and trailer are the visual design upgrades as well as the more fluid transitions in-between scenes. The extra power that the PS4 Pro has in terms of processing and visual display is evident in the video. Van der Leeuw adds that with gamers wanting to get the best of the new console, having "Horizon: Zero Dawn" play on the highest settings will offer much more detail than conventional visuals, as the game fully supports settings up to 4K and HDR. The studio executive adds, "You're going to notice a ton of subtle details, from stitching on Aloy's outfit, individual leaves and branches swaying in the wind, kilometers away in the distance, and more detail in all the machines and NPCs in the world."
"Horizon: Zero Dawn" is an open-world RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world. It is set for release as an exclusive for both the PS4 and PS4 Pro in February next year.
