After competing as one of the most publicized titles on Steam against juggernauts of Halo: The Master Chief Edition and their ilk, Horizon Zero Dawn Claims Steam's Top Selling Title Four Hours After Opening Pre-Orders.
Horizon Zero Dawn has reportedly announced and ensured that they would be giving the port more than its fair share of love and adoration as it finally makes the leap from console to PC.
The jump is far tougher than it can be anticipated by many studios as there are different quality of life options available that the players need to necessarily find out even before they begin to discuss the purchase of the title on the PC.
It was after Guerrilla stated that there would be a horizontal FOV lock, the whole hype shattered down immensely as many would find it too difficult to play. Moreover, the complete absence of further discourse from the studio led to widespread beliefs that the title would also suffer from a low FPS cap, the same way it had on PlayStation (30FPS), the studio is not seemingly forthcoming with any sort of announcement.
But Guerrilla has wisely and tactfully backtracked on some of the statements and has also come forward with an absolute banger of an announcement that marks uncapped FPS, FOV sliders, and much more as Aloy makes yet another leap of faith and this time it is from PlayStation to PC.
This is such a move that more than a few PlayStation owners have unironically protested against.
After some early morning teasing, a final announcement was put forward that offers some light on the release date, and along with it came the opening of pre-orders. This was somewhat of an outdated updating option that goes back to the time of brick and mortar stones running out of the hyped titles that used to further force the users to pre-order to reserve their copies.
In the modern era, the pre-orders however allow the studios to measure the engagement that they are likely to receive and hence they can develop an idea of the size of their audience.
It was announced that the HZD has come to secure the top of the list during the Steam Summer Sale and the event that offers massive markdowns on a price for a wide variety of titles is a monumental achievement that should stagger more than a couple of critics of the upcoming port.
Moving forward with this announcement that states Guerrilla changing course on how they are going ahead with the release and port of HZD, comes another unspoken agreement.
For all those who have been nibbling at the bit for a small particle of love being heaped onto Aloy and her famously contrasting world, and have also been quite frustrated at the previous announcements been made, it is the time to make good.
This time Guerrilla has shown that they are more than willing to give the necessary care and therefore as a core group it is only wise to support this.
