K pokračování vizuálně nádherného Horizonu FW jsem se docela rád vrátil i na PC. A to i přesto, že předem víte, že to prostě nebude ono. Jednak jsem celou hru absolvoval již na konzoli, jednak svět je v podstatě totožný s tím v Zero Dawn. Stejně jako stroje, Alloy, celková hratelnost a samozřejmě také halda postav (byť samozřejmě nový příběh obsahuje i zcela nové charaktery).
Má tedy smysl se portem pro PC vůbec zabývat? Pro PC hráče je to povinnost, pro ostatní to může být příjemné osvěžení, pokud Forbidden West nedohráli před měsícem.
Široké možnosti nastavení pro vaše PC či notebook
PC verze nabízí kompletní edici, tedy kromě hlavní hry také dodatečný obsah ve formě DLC Burning Shores. Horizon Forbidden West jsem testoval na notebooku, který disponuje procesorem Intel Core i7 deváté generace, 16GB RAM a grafickou kartou GeForce RTX 2060 s displejem se 144Hz frekvencí. Tedy řekněme jakýsi střed mezi minimální a doporučenou konfigurací. Výhodou PC verze jsou navíc rozmanité možnosti nastavení, takže si můžete vybrat kvalitu textur, filtry a spoustu dalších detailů. Upřímně řečeno, hra je po vizuální stránce taková pecka, že i na nižší nastavení toho nabízí docela dost a neměl jsem pocit, že bych nějak trpěl. Na druhou stranu je potřeba říct, že zásah do nastavení je žádoucí, protože zpočátku se hra sekala, neměla dotažené shadery a při pohybu, respektive otáčení, docházelo k jakémusi rozmazávání.
K dispozici jsou také nejrůznější upscale nástroje pro zlepšení zážitku a dynamického škálování. Protože když dojde na masivní bitvy se stroji v otevřeném prostředí, notebook se docela zapotil. A to doslova, protože z hlediska chlazení a ventilátorů to byl slušný hučák. Ale to jsem ani nic jiného nečekal. Obecně platí, že na „zlatou střední cestu“ nastavení a po stažení shaderů vše šlapalo tak, jak má. Hra Horizon Forbidden West je bez debat po vizuální stránce jedna z nejpokročilejších her a nabízí toho opravdu dost, zvlášť pokud jde o divoce rostoucí flóru. Takže i při nižších detailech si budete hru užívat. Na nejnižší konfiguraci už jsou některé textury zcela pryč a musíte být připraveni na kompromisy.
Ovládání na klávesnici i gamepadu
Z čeho jsem měl strach, bylo nahrazení ovladače klávesnicí a myší. Z hlediska ovládání je Horizon Forbidden West hodně komplexní záležitost a vyžaduje rychlé reakce a vždy vědět, kam sáhnout, respektive kde a jaké tlačítko stisknout. Gamepad lze samozřejmě připojit taky, ale rozhodně jsem toto kombo musel vyzkoušet.
Dojmy z ovládání na klávesnici a myši byly spíše pozitivní. Jedinou zásadní nevýhodu vidím ve chvílích, kdy potřebujete typicky craftit lektvary nebo pasti, navolit si je z nabídky a během aktuálního souboje je pak ještě efektivně využít. Pro mě osobně to byl horor. A to i přesto, že lze ovládání přemapovat. Upřímně jsem neměl důvod se ovladače vzdát. Navíc když si uvědomíme, jak intenzivní a náročné mohou boje být.
Vzhledem k vizuálním kvalitám hry bude zásadní výpočetní výkon vašeho zařízení. Nebudete-li se muset omezovat, a ještě navíc budete mít performanci pro všechny ty vychytávky, čekají vás herní a vizuální hody, protože využijete naplno grafický potenciál, který titul nabízí. Po stránce technického zpracování se jedná o špičkový PC port původně konzolové hry. Jedinou překážkou může být ovládání na klávesnici, které bude vyžadovat veškeré vaše schopnosti a trénink, protože například souboje se Stormbirdy a jinými „polétáváky“ jsou mnohdy drsné i s gamepadem v ruce. Samozřejmostí je lokalizace do češtiny, stejně jako konzolová verze.

We asked Sucker Punch co-founder Brian Fleming for his thoughts on the upcoming PC version, here is what he had to say:
“We’re proud to announce that our friends and partners over at Nixxes are bringing Ghost of Tsushima to PC! This is a first for Sucker Punch – all our previous work is console-exclusive, so we are excited about all this and Nixxes was the right team to do this project.

For PC players who are new to the game, here’s an overview of everything that is included:
Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is an action-adventure game set in feudal Japan. Protagonist Jin Sakai was raised and trained in the ways of the samurai. His world is shattered when a Mongol invasion defeats the samurai army of his home on Tsushima island, and he is faced with a difficult decision: honor the tradition and customs of his upbringing and maintain a fight he cannot win, or deviate from his samurai path to protect the island and its people by any means necessary.
In his quest to reclaim Tsushima, Jin seeks the guidance and support of old friends and new unlikely allies. He must break away from tradition, become a new kind of warrior, and protect what’s left of his home at all costs.
Iki Island Expansion –In this story expansion, Jin discovers new locations, characters, and enemies on a mysterious island. The island of Iki is a wild, lawless land of raiders and criminals. Jin will have to bring all his skills to defeat the enemy and save Iki.
Legends – Inspired by Japanese folk tales and mythology, this cooperative multiplayer experience consists of two-player story missions and four-player wave-based survival missions, as well as the competitive two-versus-two Rivals mode. Choose one of four classes: Samurai, Ronin, Hunter or Assassin and play with friends or via online matchmaking.
Kurosawa Mode – Experience the game in black and white with film grain effects, as well as Japanese dialogue and English subtitles. This mode is inspired by the movies of legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa.
On behalf of everyone at Nixxes Software and Sucker Punch Productions, we can’t wait to bring Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut to PC. We will have more information to share, such as system requirements, as we get closer to launch on May 16.
