20 AMAZING Details in Horizon Zero Dawn

[@oKnightzo]

Horizon Zero Dawn is a great game through and through so how could I not make a video on it appreciating the finer things, Hope you enjoy! P.S. Behind the scenes I've been working on a variety of new types of videos that I'll be bringing to the channel so expect them soon.👌

[@guywithknife]

o Knightz o Two details not mentioned in the video: water actually flows. That is, if you drop something into the water, it will flow downstream. And in the DLC, you/animals/npc’s leave trials in the snow, which get slowly covered back over if its snowing.

[@sharkster0006]

Great vid brother! Just bought a pro with this game as a freebie and man I am lovin' it. the details, breath taking view and the game physics and all gives you that feeling that you're really in the game :D

[@sjsharp2007]

yeah they did a great job withthis gam ethe PC version looks gorgeous too. Played i tfor the firsttime last month after finall ygetting around to it. I as yfinall ybecause I got the gam eas soon as i tcam eto PC bu tput i ton hold because life was taking precedence at that time. Onl ycriticism I have with this game is it's save system becaus eonl ybeing able to save a tcampfires does make diong tasks lik ethe cauldrons a little tricky. Outside of that I find very little wrong with the game it's pretty near perfect. I liked th eday/night cycles an the weather systems. For exampl esimulatin gwind in games is no teasy wit hbot hhai rand clot hphysics but I htink they nailed it really well as I liked how Aloy's hair moved and her outfits as well especialy the Carja silks ones. Ver ywell don Guerilla very well done.

HZD feels alive, Aloy actually feels like she lives and breaths in the world and it’s so amazing to me how different this game feels compared to others. Sure it’s not perfect but it’s damn close.

[@chocolate6315]

Its more than perfect

[@arindamhansda5493]

its PERFECT

[@_nom_]

It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. It still feels like a console game. With terrible movement mechanics

[@confuzedgraphite]

​@@_nom_ Well it IS a console game first and foremost. Though the PC port (now that its stable) is pretty good and other than a few quirks the controls are pretty intuitive. I'm not entirely sure what you mean about terrible movement mechanics, I've been playing games practically my whole life and it's pretty comparable to other games I've played.

[@dioscaresparza]

It's without doubt, one of the most lovely open worlds in video games. It's beautiful and vast, yet; feels a little bit empty and gives you that "I'm alone in the world" feeling. Hope that for "Forbidden West" they improve the NPC quest and interaction, more side activities and things to do. A little more like RDR2. But still, I still enjoy HZD

[@ivansoedjono]

[@chloea8545]

I also discovered that if you stand in the tall red grass (emphasis on the word stand), after about fifteen seconds, Aloy starts swinging her hands back and forth through the tops of the grass, as if feeling it run through her fingers. I thought that was cute. ☺️

[@farqleethussain9102]

That is a nice detail 🙂

[@shydreameress264]

And if you are crouched in the tall grass for long enough without moving, she just sits in it ^^

[@robertblackburn752]

Also when walking through long grass she does the ‘gladiator’ thing, stroking it with outstretched fingers. Aloy is the most alive and engaging character I’ve ever played in any game.

[@senseihEnRY16]

Aloy's animation is one of the best in this generation, i especially love her running cycle animation, noticed that she always sway a bit to the left and right while running straight.

[@-chippedstars-2889]

Henry Rahardja Omg yes. And she always skids a little after a long sprint.

It's all those "little" details that you unconsciously register while playing, which makes it such an incredible experience.

Its all about how immersive it is. It feels like its real. The world and characters reacts with such incredibly credible ways that makes us feel "In it" literally.

[@justwatch7091]

Whenever I saw a insane detail I always say "Man, look at that detail! They actually tried their best"

[@thaneshplayz7508]

Did you guys know that the background characters will speak about Aloy and we can hear it when we pass by. Like 'That Nora girl helped the Sun King to defeat Dervhal'. As the story progresses the character will speak of her more recent victories. I think that's an amazing detail.

10. Puddles evaporate. How patient someone needs to be to notice that "detail".

[@mimarho]

I do. Like breathing, the light shining through the leafs, then "burning" light source (meaning if the sun shines in front of you and there is a tree, the sun is not like a disk but it "overshines" twigs e.g. like burning right through it). If you love this game, then you want to take you time investigating the depth of animation and simulation. I actually took a fair share of time just watching Aloy standing in a rainy and stormy weather conditioning and how she reacts to that.

I love this game. One of my favs if not my fav. It's hard to pin down just one. These details are always so seamless, you never even notice them. My favorite detail of the whole game are the outfits, how each tribe has their own easily discernable unique look and each bit of armor is made from old remnants of technology.

[@luisma2548]

i seriously can’t wait for the sequel, this game is fucking amazing

[@AndreyAndreyevich]

Aloy's Theme is so beautiful and touching (as is the whole game) that I've added it to my playlist) and thank you for the video! Nice little details that are pleasant to know.

[@jackoblllllllll]

Gaia. Also the flammable weak spots are actuall fluids in a transparent containers! Ive never noticed that until I watched this video! You can see it in detail in the segment with Aloy turning about on the mount, like second to last I think. Grest video

[@robertblackburn752]

Played this masterpiece through twice and now I’m gonna play it again. There’s something so special about starting the game with Aloy as an adorable child learning to survive. The reveal of the beautiful grown up Aloy is a breathtaking moment that bonds you to her through this wonderful journey. She’s truly alive. What a glorious game!

[@jackdadson1408]

Just a few other little details not listed on here, but you might be curious about or find helpful: 1: Birds can sometimes be seen flocking together through the air, from geese flying in a V formation, to hundreds of sparrows moving about like a rolling cloud (usually you'll find these in the desert). 2. Sometimes you can find ants carrying leaves climbing up the sides of trees. 3. There are portions of the map you can't reach/view without photo mode or performing serious feats of parkour, but are still insanely detailed. Some of these areas include the buildings and lower plateaus of Meridian - which you can't access naturally but can still reach via jumping off the support beams of the Great Elevator - and the Nora Naming Location seen in the games opening cutscene where Rost takes baby Aloy - sadly you cannot reach this area without the game reseting you for "Leaving the map", but you can still get close enough to view it with photo mode. (There are users on the HZD Reddit page who create photo albums of the various locations throughout the map and highlight the little details most overlook if you wanna check it out for yourself) 4. Glinthawks will pick up and carry off small machine carcasses (Watchers, Striders, etc.) before stripping them for parts. (Unrelated to the game fact - real life vultures do something similarly carry off carcasses and drop them from a large height to break the bones and extract the marrow inside) 5: Aloy WADES through snow, even when running; literally lifting her legs above the snow line to move through it. 6. Footprints left behind in snow will gradually fill up again if there is snowfall. 7: Aloy reacts to the weather/environment. A few of these instances were already pointed out in the video, but here's a couple others: when in the desert, Aloy is fatigued from the heat and will shield her face from the sun and sand-storms, and whilst in snow she will shiver from the cold, her breath will come out as white mist, and she'll even reach out to catch snowflakes as they fall. 8. People will criticise the outfits Aloy wears, and depending on what she's wearing and what location she's in makes the dialogue differ. E.g: If you wear the Carja Blazon armour in an Oseram settlement, people will remark how she's "as bright as a forge fire", or if you wear the Banuk Ice Hunter Outfit in Meridian, people will tell her they're "not intimidated my her savage look." 9. Overridden Sawtooths will stalk their prey. Provided you aren't spotted performing the override sequence, an Overridden Sawtooth will sneak up on unsuspecting enemy's before pouncing. 10. Despite being described as "Hunter Killers", Fireclaws and Frostclaws are not listed as Combat Type machines, rather they are Acquisition Types. Similar to Scrappers and Glinthawks, if there is a machine carcass nearby they will be drawn to it and begin to strip it for parts. 11. The Thunderjaw was the first machine designed for the game, going through several iterations before the final model was created. Each one has 271 animations, 93 destructible armour plates, 12 unique attacks, 67 visuals and 550,000 polygons. 12. Despite their descriptions labelling them as materials for Crafting or Trading, certain items harvested from animals and machines are only good for selling to merchants and have no other use, despite their descriptions saying otherwise. Broadhead, Ravager, Corruptor, and Deathbringer Hearts/Lenses, as well as Goose Bones, are only good for selling for shards, so don't hold on to them and let them take up space in your inventory! (weirdly, you can still purchase Ravager Hearts from the Machine Parts merchant in Meridian for a ridiculously high price)

Not droves of endless shooters (while they have their place) but real artistic expression, a work of art someone can be proud of.
