Yep

Am I right in thinking there's no other first party games from Sony after Ratchet for the rest of this year?

Still have Deathloop and Ghost Wire Tokyo of course - Thank god for Xbox Game Studios!

And apparently it'll have a 60 fps mode.

Aloy seems to have a…fuller face. Nowt wrong with that I guess. I spied some wankers on the socials aren’t happy but didn’t click on that shite.
Loved the grappling hook, straight out of Ghost of Tshushima! 10 wraps says God of War 2 will have one.

Free climbing and the paraglider are 2 big wins that will make exploring much more interesting! :toot:

Hard to know what they mean by free climbing though, given that the recent showcase showed Aloy having to use the focus to highlight specific climbable points...

Slow slow climbing to hide ps4 mandated loading

Free climbing but everything you can actually climb will be illuminated in bright yellow!

Its the future.

Not so different to Mirror's Edge then.

Even without the free climbing just the fact that they've now made it so Aloy seems to be able to grab and mantle on scenery that's within reach will make a big difference. So many times in the first game you would be at ledges that she should clearly be able to climb up or vault over but she refused to do it!

You're free to climb those specific climbable points

They don't seem to go into much detail in the interview above (at least the first one, haven't watched the second yet) but it does sound like they plan to make everything climbable to some extent. Sounds like it will be like assassin's creed where basically everything is climbable but you can only grab certain "anchor points" as opposed to in BOTW where Link just climb up any old gooseberry fool regardless

Confirmed by the game director.

60fps is about 5x more frames a second than the first on PS4! :shock:

PostRe: Horizon: Forbidden West by **Jenuall** » Thu Jun 03, 2021 4:50 pm

I've only ever played the first game in "favour performance" mode and its basically locked 30fps

Excellent. But it's bizarre how they didn't think it was worth mentioning to Game Informer :lol:

Your point in the other thread about how cross-gen God of War all but guarantees a 60 fps mode is kind of proven here. (I'm not saying that justifies cross-gen!) Hopefully devs will be so used to including 60 fps mode that they'll still have high fps modes once development shifts to PS5 only games.
