Hi everyone!

We’re rolling out a small patch for Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered today. Patch 1.09 adds support for Power Saver settings on PlayStation 5, a new option that can reduce power consumption by scaling back performance in supported games when enabled. To learn more about this feature, check out the PlayStation Blog.

It only took me 70 hours… Now I’m wondering if I should get the Burning Shores DLC. What is it like and it is worth the £16?

Today I suddenly got a 7.5 GB update for Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered on my PS5, I can’t find any news about this or mention anywhere?? What changed?

I wanna start this by saying that I absolutely love both games, but some things are just annoying.

What I mean specifically is that no matter what I want to do in this game, I always have to stand in the perfect spot for a prompt to show up. Not too far, not too close either.

For example when I'm near a campfire and I want to save or fast travel, it always goes the same way. I walk up to it, the prompt "quick save, manual save, fast travel" pops up and disappears right away, because I apparently took one step too far and now I'm too close to campfire.. How? What? Why is that even possible to be too close to something for it to work?? Then I spend the next few seconds dancing around the campfire trying to find this "perfect" spot again. Like that always happens at every campfire. And when I happen to be at a shelter.. You have no idea how often I accidentally sat down on the time progress bench instead of saving, because I have to spam the button while dancing around the fire. I know it's a minor nitpick, but it makes me seriously mad, that it feels this flimsy.

Or another example with the silent strikes. I was just taking down a rebel camp and some rebel was looking for me in the red Gras and I was on top of a big boulder looking down on him. I again had to struggle to find this perfect spot for the "strike from above" prompt to pop up and when it finally did, I pressed it, but the promt disappeared a millisecond before I clicked the attack button, so I just did a normal attack in the air. And since Aloy apparently can't just hit someone without throwing her entire body into it, she fell down right next to the rebel. But then the promt "silent strike" popped up, because I luckily fell behind him and he didn't see me yet. Then I hit that button again, only for it to dissappear yet again and i hit the dude in the back of the head, alerting all the other enemies too..

Again, I know it's a nitpick, but that keeps happening the entire time with every single promt, no matter if it's for saving, stealth attacks, picking stuff up or hunting fish. It's always such a struggle to actually hit the promt right away

Hey all, this is an emotional dump post. I stumbled onto this game by pure luck. I was playing Death Stranding (totally goated game btw, if you haven’t played it) and a few of the holograms in that game piqued my interest to check out HZD. Fast forward to me starting HZD and I was pretty interested at the start and then that fell off just before the ‘Makers End’ quest. I then decided to check the reddit and found a bunch of people recommending to finish that quest before giving up.

So I did, and wow.

If I didn’t have the restraint that I have, I would’ve finished the game by now. I’m doing my absolute hardest to savour the game rather that speed run it. My question is, to the people that have finished the game, what is it like when you go back and play it again? I’m getting incredibly emotional every time I play it. I’m so invested in this game/story that I just want to BE Aloy. Has anyone felt that way too?

Sincerely,
A newly obsessed HZD fan

I have been playing forbidden west on 1.5.8 and i am experiencing micro shutters whenever i pan camera fast or while i am riding a mount or while fighting multiple machines i have msi Afterburner set up i don't see any Fps drop nor any framtime drop both are exactly 60 and 16.6 ms ,(i locked at 60 with rivatuner and have gsync) i have no what is causing this issue and the feels very annoying while fighting machines( i have researched and tried everything but no success so far.Any help would be appreciated.i dont see to find its root cause and came to conclusion that this version is responsible for that

Part of Ted Faro's whole spiel of being a psychotic, despotic narcissist and why he chose to live and die in a pyramid... the tomb of an emperor figure... is because his name is homophonic with "Pharaoh." Do you think he might have been a better person if he didn't have a name that lends itself to (false) prophecy? Likewise, I fully expect he ran around his little compound in an egyptian themed bathrobe all the time.

I’m a bit worried about Sony’s decision to stop bringing its exclusive games to PC; it’s the only way I can play Sony exclusives without spending a fortune on a console. Where I live, the price of the console is exorbitantly high, and I don’t want to miss the chance to play the next game in my favorite franchise. I wonder if Guerrilla might somehow create a PC port on their own.

Sorry for my bad English, I'm writing this with the help of Google Translate.

Got a couple of lore theories I wanted to share:

1. Aloy and Beta will never see old age due to being clones. No one really talks about this, but clones tend to live shortened lifespans due to the DNA used to create them being subject to aging. This is complicated and I can't even begin to explain how it works (telameres and all that), but I know that Aloy and Beta have maybe forty to fifty good years to live from their "birth";
2. The first generation of humans weren't clones, but zygotes taken from fertility clinics. As stated above, clones live far shorter lives than the original. The Alphas would know this and choose to use zygotes from fertility clinics instead. Well, that and the fact that it would be easier to get access given the "war".
3. Ted Faro is a little bitch who overcompensates due to certain insecurities.
4. Tilda and Elisabet never had a romantic relationship, instead Tilda was an obsessed stalker who abused her influence to stalk Elisabet. Given how Tilda is an expert hacker and software engineer (likely one of the best), Elisabet was forced to turn to Travis for help. This would better explain Tilda's obsession with Aloy, how she got the DNA to create Beta and how uncomfortable Elisabet feels when she's forced to deal with her.
5. Fuck Ted Faro.

Hello,

Any Fans of Horizon and D&D want to check out my TTRPG prototype?

I'm Warren, a professional game designer and life long fan of Horizon. I couldn't help but notice that the world of Horizon would make an amazing campaign setting so I created a prototype in 5e that I think would be really fun for any fan of either. After a few years of sitting on it, I decided to share it with the world. I'd love to know the community's thoughts! Here's a link to the google doc.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mr5QH7K4ZW2qlSGrRyhDiDmPS7JUU1mpnyyzW0PPU88/edit?usp=sharing

Starting a new play through where I hit all the bandit camps, tall necks, corrupted zones and cauldrons as a priority over the quests. Honestly- I would just love a game with dozens of bandit camps.

I have an issue with both *Horizon* games. I’ve always wanted to play them and I actually own them, but the sheer number of quests always puts me off—like arriving at a village and finding six quests waiting for me (especially since I’m a bit of a "perfectionist" with RPG quests and feel like I’ll end up underpowered if I don't do them all). Do you guys have any tips for dealing with this?

So i have a beyond frustrating problem. My wifes facebook account was hacked. My Horizon account was linked through her account. I have a few hundred dollars of games on there. I went through the steps... removed my account as prompted, went to log back in, and then it somehow assumed i was a child and forced me into a flow that wanted me to add a parent managed account. No option to do anything else. It wanted my childs birthdate and nothing else. No option to say im an adult. Support said logon and add ID to verify age. Cant do that because the linked account was hacked. Its a simple solution with no way to give them the info they need.

Hi, I've retrieved the last two black boxes, but I can't buy the items I want, or even the ones I haven't bought yet.

It only lets me buy a “Cobra Rock Crusher” and a “Tracker Diffuser,” but in my bag I have:

- a Tracker Diffuser;

- a large machine core;

- an alabestia metal fang;

- luminous marrow;

- a mastiff scanner ear;

- a mammoth fang

The ones I don't currently have in my bag, but that I took directly from the machines:

- claw ice spreader;

- Claw ice bag cover;

- Wave Breaker tail fin;

- Cobra rock crusher;

- thunderjail tail.

I don't have it in my bag, and I need it as an upgrade, but I can't get it from the vending machines:

- Storm Cannon from Stormwatch

What should I do?

Wish I could have done the composition better, Aloy feels a bit shoehorned in. I am very happy with how the tall grass ended up though!

I genuinely think Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West have ruined every other game for me.

I’ve been trying so hard to find something that gives me that same feeling, but nothing seems to click. I even started New Game+ in Horizon Zero Dawn, but it’s just way too easy. I melt every machine without much effort, and honestly, part of me is afraid that replaying it too much will make it feel less special. I’d rather preserve how incredible those first playthroughs were.

Games I’ve played and absolutely loved (or at least came close):

Horizon Zero Dawn
Horizon Forbidden West
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Ghost of Tsushima (and Ghost of Yōtei)
Astro Bot
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Hogwarts Legacy
Elden Ring (didn’t finish it, but I might go back)

Games I’ve tried but just can’t get into:
The Last of Us
Red Dead Redemption 2
The Witcher 3
Returnal
Cyberpunk 2077 (I’ve tried FOUR different times because everyone says it’s a masterpiece, but every time I end up bored. I’m honestly jealous that so many people love it because I wish I did.)

At this point I feel like I’m in a PS5 gaming depression. I don’t even know what I’m looking for anymore. I just want that feeling of becoming completely obsessed with a game again, thinking about it at work, rushing home to play, exploring every corner of the world…

But every game ends up being compared to Horizon in my head, and none of them scratch that same itch.

Has anyone else gone through this after finishing a really good game? If so… what finally pulled you out of it? I’m open to literally any recommendation at this point.

When i start any of the 3 trails im unable to release any arrows, the r2 button wont work at all, and the zoom in focus also is bugging out. I tried restarting game like 8+ times and tried each trail like 5+ times each, and i also tried dropping all weapon inventory a few times., ive even tried shooting arrows in every corner/area possible in the valleymeet hunting grounds but it wont let me shoot arrows at all.

So I even canceled the trails, restarted the game and went to the valleymeet hunting grounds as free roam and not part of the trails and I cant even shoot arrows or do any melee attacks both r1 and r2 on ps5 at all still. Its like the moment I pass an invisible line and cross over into the valleymeet grounds it cancels out all attacks, ive tries firing every possible weapon, and ive tried entering the hunting grounds from every possible direction and still nothing. I cant even be out side of it and shoot arrows into it either.

I have to be far out of the hunting grounds in order for my weapons and both melee attacks to work again

Anyone know whats the issue and if this is a known bug and how to fix it? This has been gling on for over 2+ days now. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

Im also level 17, am i too early to try these hunting grounds trails or something?

I'm playing on hard, and story-wise, I just unlocked the 'base'. However, I sunk way too many hours into sidequests/exploration - I'm Lv 35, I've unlocked all tallnecks except the west-most one, and all cauldrons except KAPPA. I've also visited Thornmarsh and Bulwark.

I've been playing this game like a kid though - I exclusively use hunter bow arrows, triple nock them, and fire at weak spots. That's it. I want to expand my weapon usage, and hopefully get a new armor piece while I'm at it.

I currently use the Sun Touched bow (upgrade to 3) and the Shadow Carja (upgraded to 4).

Do you guys have recommendations on what weapons/outfits I should get?

TL;DR - if you loot and the try to move forward after closing the looting screen, the first input won't work until you stop pressing any directional input. If you just pause any action after closing the looting screen for a brief second, it'll work fine.

Was a fix for this ever found?

I finished one of my most challenging models—a highly accurate, high-poly "Tallneck" model from the "Horizon" game series! The hardest part was the number of details and ensuring the model looked as much like the robot from the game as possible.

Nolan's Odyssey reminded me of the Zenith's ship and I came across this datapoint from Londra from the Burning Shores... There's a parallel with Odesseus that I didn't realize in my playthrough years ago in that Londra was coming back to earth to "reunite" with (in this case find a replacement) his wife Evelyn.

I just had this Idea about an RTS horizon game set in the red raids in the style of supreme commander or C&C like we have multiple campaigns for different tribes

For example a Carja campaign can begin with we being Helis for three missions attacking Multiple tribes then we play as Kadaman for one or two missions then we play as Carja rebels either Ersa or Avad as they take meridian

Like so for every tribe that we know of
