Expect upcoming action RPG Horizon Zero Dawn to be like a hybrid of Assassin's Creed and The Elder Scrolls when it comes to certain gameplay aspects.
"I guess you’re wondering where we are on that spectrum of, on the one side more action-orientated games like Assassin’s Creed, and on the other hand you have your Elder Scrolls and these kinds of series," said Horizon Zero Dawn's managing director Hermen Hulst. "I think we’re in-between. We have elements in both directions, and that probably puts us somewhere in between."
Hulst went on to emphasise that "It’s really difficult to talk about how deep the role-playing experience is without being able to show it yet, because people start speculating on it too much. Once we have something to show we’ll talk about it in more detail," so it looks like we'll have to wait a while before we find out exactly what he means.
Horizon Zero Dawn is coming exclusively to the PlayStation 4 in 2016.

What I want to know is what we'll be able to do in that open world except killing mechas. Will there be a real life routine possibility just like in TES?
SHOW US MORE YOU SADISTIC MAN!
So far the game looks limited.
From a single sequence in a trailer the game looks limited? You must have some clairvoyance going on, you could make a lot of money on that.
So far, you've seen 10 minutes of it. We are both stating the obvious.

Guerrilla can't deliver. Their e3 demos are scripted and on rails. I'd love for this to succeed because ac 3 is my favorite game and tes series. But this is like hearing a politician.
Journalists reported that the same demo was shown indoors and played in different ways (including stealthy) to prevent people from saying it was scripted. But you know, there is always people like that.
