The horses are called Striders. Just wait 'till you see the T-rex!
In all seriousnes, HZD is one of the best games I've every played. Graphics are incredible.
What other games are we all playing?

You know, I was thinking about this as I was playing RDR1 on PSNow last night.
1) They don't need to do this as people will still play the originals. The originals are still good and not everything needs to be "remastered".
2) Most of the studio will be working on their next blockbuster, and developers & artists always want to work on the new thing.
Also 3) They might be billionaires (don't think so, but OK), but they earned that by releasing groundbreaking games. So I'm good with that. Okay, it might take them five or six years per game - but attention to detail is what sets R* games apart from other studios - and that takes time. Time that is better spent doing that than revisiting old titles just to make a 'quick' buck.
I had to buy the trilogy again since I owned them previously on the Xbox...still in my Xbox games library too. Saying that, £50 for the definitive edition trilogy was a steal...for me at any rate. Can't wait to complete the set when Mafia definitive is released. The bonus was that I got the original vanilla versions of Mafia and Mafia 2...plus all the DLC in the definitive edition of Mafia 2 in the package too.Finally lost self control today.Broke my oath I'd wait to play Mafia in chronological order for the Definitive edition. Problem was Mafia 1 Definitive Edition isn't due until Sept 25th. So......
Nope. Uh uh.
No go. D/L the free complimentary Mafia 2 Definitive Edition copy in my Steam library earlier. Will be playing this until Mafia 1 & CP 2077 come out this fall
Here's an excellent, comprehensive FAQ on the Mafia Definitive Edition trilogy, Classic edition, and individual definitive edition titles for those who may have questions about this amazing franchise:

So humongous THANK YOU to 2K for NOT pulling the exclusivity bumnuggetry that is the Epic Store. And to Steam for NOT shafting us players who already own the Classic titles, forcing us to rebuy all 2 existing games just to get the Mafia 1 Definitive edition
If only R* would get off their overpaid, complacent, billionaire entitled @$$es. See the value in remastering RDR 1 AND GTA San Andreas. I've still got my fingers crossed that 2K can put R* to shame with the monetary success they've made off the Mafia Definitive editions.
The remastering was done by hangar 13 btw...not 2k games. They only had help from some of the original devs from the original 2K teams for each definitive edition, Mafia 1 especially.

After I completed RDR2 on the Xbox, I followed it up by another runthrough of the original to feel like I completed the story...it still holds up graphically after 10 years.
I'm growing more impressed by the story telling as the game goes on...and just what they've done with it. The story is compelling, well told and envisioned with gameplay throughout to match it all. Can't ask for more than that for a $40 quid port over from a PS3 game...they done good
Loving that you can 'tame' the robotic animals once you open up a few of the cauldrons where they are made...makes it a tad easier getting around when you have a tame strider..

Not played the PC version yet, but it was one of the first games I got on my PS4. Found it in a bargain bin.
When I got fed up with using discs and decided to go download exclusive, HZD was one of the games it was important to replace. Can't rate it any higher really.
I bought Forza Horizon 3 on massive sale with some extra cars so Microsoft Flight Sim, ED, DCS and whatever is out there will have to wait for at least a month!
Yeah. While this is true, the fan base will ALWAYS play a remastered version if said verison is available. And any overhaul of the originals as well. Great example is the Open IV mod several years back. It still #$@%&! es me off Tw@t Two censored the GTA modding community from developing/adding Liberty City to GTAO using Open IV.
R* and Tw@t Two really missed out BIG on this bit of censorship IMO. They completely #EpicFailed to see the one major insight Bethesda has to date. By prohibiting the modding community to save them millions in promotion/advertisement of the GTA franchise and brand for FREE. Regardless,
The former feared said mod would open the Pandora's Box on illegal hacking of the online game. Which ironically, ended up being the inevitable result to date.
The latter feared a complex, professional designed mod of such scale, would detract from the online game. By driving players to return to playing single player. And by doing so, the they'd loose millions of serfs
And IMO, the modding community should've developed this in secret and then made said announcement. That way they could've claimed Mea Culpa. And washed their hands once this free mod sized DLC got teleported over to Black Mar----
Well now. As I was. This is one of those times I forget we're a civil society on this forum. And do not discuss such dank matters befitting the dregs of digital humanity.
I love the fact it comes with all the DLC too...the frozen wastes is pretty good. Found it accidentally just ticking off the unlit campfires around where I was.
Lately I've been busy doing low-altitude flying in Assetto Corsa.
Gorgeous shot. It reminded me that I got a copy of Project Cars 2 in some bundle, so I went ahead to give it a spin. Went the extra mile and set up the Steam controller to use gyro controls as a makeshift wheel, and it's brilliant even though I'm . I can sort of race my way with the Clio, but stuff like Lamborghinis are still way beyond me!
This review is hilarious.
How accurate are these categories based on your experience?Attachments
Review about sums it up really...but I'm finding the game much more to my taste.This review is hilarious.
Well worth the buy I'd say having played a few hours of it...well...more than a few hours, 40.7 hours exactly...considering it's only been out since Friday...it's very addictivek thanks. Will put it on my Steam wish list for the next massive Labor Day/Thanksgiving or Christmas discount.
There seems to be a lot of the Steam reviews bombing the game due to bugs and crashes...where as I've had one crash and haven't noted any bugs at all. There's a few like me that had very little issue running it and they've given it the thumbs up too.

Right, managed to get an Aventador flying. Not as good a shot as yours, but still a flying Lamborghini.

It's called "maximum attack" (to quote a fellow countryman Ari Vatanen)
Good thing about Assetto Corsa and all the mods is there's a car for everyone..

In 15 hours of play I had only one crash during a cutscene, but I went back to the game and everything was normal. I had no other problems and the game is running very well here. It's an excellent game, I'm enjoying it.
I had a Mini Cooper 'S' back in the early 70's...British racing green with a white roof...looked spookily like that pic. Reg# was BSL 120 D...never forget it. I shoehorned an Austin 1300cc engine into it, took a skim off the top of the block to raise the compression ratio, rebored it to 1340cc, fitted it with twin radiators and an oil cooler and 4 Weber 48mm carburettors on a custom inlet manifold and finished it off by adding a Riley controls 4 speed gearbox with an overdrive switch. I could practically hear the petrol falling into the engine when I hit the loud pedalIt's called "maximum attack" (to quote a fellow countryman Ari Vatanen)

I wiped it out taking some air over a blind summit in the highlands near Callander...I noticed that as I was coming back down, the road had somehow made a sharp left turn just after the summit. I missed it by a considerable distance and landed in some trees. I was left halfway up a tree sitting in a roll cage with the rest of the Mini spread over the field.... never had the cash at that time to rebuild the Mini and with 3rd party only insurance, I was scuppered and car-less for quite a while.
The joys of youth...how the hell I ever survived to old age I'll never know
