This is fascinating.
But be warned watching either may change your opinion on any open world game you have or are currently playing, it’s not until your pointed out the obvious you see the forced restrictions and imaginary laws of physics we have endured.

aye they are different games. and while I love playing and have a platinum for horizon I havnt played zelda now they seem to be concentrating on the details zelda has that horizon lacks which is fair enough however decisions are made for gameplay reason. for instance the only grass that reacts to you in horizon is the stuff you can hide in you also don't need to have 20 of each weapon just in case they all break. they both however take new looks at the open world genre and have refreshing perspectives. if you go into an encounter unprepared in horizon you can die quickly planing load-out and weapon use is key. in horizon your arrows travel further than 30 yards... anyway back to work

I didn’t post it to run Horizons down or big up Zelda, you could put any open world game from the last few years against Zelda and the same would apply, basically Nintendo have themselves an open world engine that has logical interaction with the environment, something we didn’t know we were missing until you play it.
And I don’t think the vids show the weather, rain makes rock climbing slippery and holding a metal weapon during a lightning storm is deadly.

aye but at the same time in a cartoony experience and lightning doesn't really work that way. and I didn't think you where like I said its most likely a good game and they have put processor time they couldn't use towards graphics towards physics and effects systems. im hoping now graphics are hitting the realism plateau they will make more believable environmental effects. the graphics of horizon with the physics and effects of zelda... but on another side looking at Jim sterling's review not all of the logical interaction makes for a "fun" game its a hard balancing act.

I'd like to think that increased resolution and processing power would lead to more realistic - and therefore immersive - environments, but I think it'll just mean that more games will get unrealistically high review scores just for being pretty (as in HRD). I haven't played Zelda but its interaction with the environment puts the other game to shame. Most of the vegetation in HRD may as well be wallpaper. Zelda may have a more cartoony look but it looks like a much more realistic world, with a game attached. HRD by comparison is a robot dinosaur hunt as deep as paper.

pity you don't like it pig.. I really enjoyed the story finding out the history and what really happened. but im posting no spoilers. and im not attacking zelda even tho it holds no draw for me. and just to point out if you had played it there are only 1 or 2 dinosaur like robots the rest are based on other designs. there's a reason for that too in the story...
