I love how Guerrilla has condensed the actual world. It doesn't have the full city of Vegas, San Fran, etc., but having a cluster of landmarks makes it feel like the city, and when looking at the map, it's pretty obvious that the two cities are nowhere close to each other, yet the world transitions in a way that makes it seem believable. While playing it finally clicked for me in this open world that yeah, while it may SEEM like it's only been 1 day since you went from Point A to Point B, that is also an exaggerated time frame so we aren't made sick by the day/night cycle. The way your companions talk to you, it's clear that Aloy is gone for days/weeks at a time, which makes way more sense. So that 10 minute trek for you to go from Vegas to the west coast is more like several days in the actual game's story. Just a cool little detail that makes the condensing of the world even better thought out!

@@700mobster Lol no I know about vantage points (they're actually called vista points in Forbidden West), but as far as I can tell by searching, vista points aren't actually real world locations, but rather fictional ones that existed near the time before the machines took over, and they're mostly there to add more lore and immersion. There are only 9 total in the game, and I've opened up the whole map and I have yet to come across a vista point that's for any of these real world locations I'm talking about in this video. They really didn't put much of anything into the game to help people who don't know about these real life locations find and learn about them.

It's not that this game is bad, it's just that a better game that did something new with the open world concept came in to overshadow it and HFW provided the perfect juxtaposition for people to compare Elden Ring to it. It is unfortunate because the effort and time put into this game is just astounding however anyone will admit that in terms of open world traversal and quest tracking they chose to go with the old and reliable system that people are pretty much sick of. I fully believe that it wouldn't have been such an issue if HFW had come out on its own a been given at least a month or two on its own to shine, but it didn't get that opportunity, usually when reviewing a game like this people praise all the pros like the amazing visuals, the great gameplay, awesome combat and interesting story with a con being that it doesn't do anything interesting in terms of its open world system. It would be a footnote and the game would receive a 9/10. But then comes another game in which about every single thing you can complain about in HFW is improved on; the open world traversal is better, your character doesn't keep hinting at what you need to do every few seconds, there's barely any HUD, they don't baby you with quest markers all over the map, it treats you like an adult. This video proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that HFW is an amazing game, but it's choices to go old school in a time when others were willing to make a risky endeavour is its folly. From Soft made a gamble that paid off and the unfortunate casualty was the Horizon Forbidden West's player base.

This game is insane... How do games like Breath of the Wild get drooled over and yet this comes out and people are like 'meh, cool'. This for me is just pure ART.

[@keithspainjr7669]

Truly a revolutionary gaming experience.. The very first day I played this game I spent 30 minutes, probably a bit more even, just watching the clouds in the sky form and dissipate over time.., also the storm that comes and goes along with all the detail of all the insects, i.e. butterflies, dragonflies and microbes, flying and floating around you.. Truly a pleasure just to explore this World they have made for this story.., Of coarse this is coming from someone who has been enjoying the growth of Computer generated graphics from the beginning.. I was a fan of Killzone's early days., Guerilla games I had a feeling you could do better or that maybe I felt that first person shooters wasn't their strong suit or preference.., I wonder in Horizon, ( both games ), aimlessly and just say WOW as I stop to look around and smell the roses.., I honestly didn't think I was ever going to see., or even thought it was going to be possible to accomplish this level immersive detail with in a persons lifespan. Aloy's movement can be choppy at times when she maneuvers elevation changing ground.. Though to criticize this bar standard setting next gen game is to nitpick something you haven't yet been able to enjoy. In other words to criticize this game negatively in anyway.., would only come from a spoiled brats point of view.

Omg what!??? The level of research on this game! We can only appreciate the world more because they’re real. Art imitates nature and life!

[@ShaswatRao]

Really great job with the side-by-side photos bro! An additional one that I noticed was Scalding Spear itself, which is based on the Ivanpah Solar Panel facility in California. Also, I believe that the hotel ruins right next to the Stratosphere look an awful lot like Wynn Las Vegas, while the southernmost hotel on the strip might be MGM grand, but its difficult to be certain.

[@evilTaker90V2]

These Horizon games are just so fascinating, it’s primal yet set in the future. These people in the future should have the most advanced technology in the world, yet they live like people did thousands of years ago, completely forgotten and unaware of how people used to go by their everyday lives and the only connection to the past is just the ruined world of those that existed before and the machines of doom they left behind. It’s so eerie in a sense, and yet it very well could be a reality, the damage that we are currently doing to our lovely planet is sad, and the constant threat of a nuclear war, well it’s not a even close reality at this point, but it doesn’t erase the fact that threat still remains

[@Xtreemo]

It's amazing and outstanding how they reproduced a preview of what the world would become after 1000 years. I'm amazed and I wonder how many of these structures can still hold up together. I know it's a game and it's a "simulation" of nature taking over the planet, but it's still very reflexive.

As far as cities go: They did a good job of capturing the scale of SF. A so-so job of capturing the scale of the Vegas Strip. (I know it’s buried in sand but the size of the forums and the Paris hotel seems diminished.) Both were way better than how they showed Denver and SLC in the first game.

There's a strange feeling while wandering in the Horizon world. The world is clearly condensed compared to reality, but all the setting, camera distortion, time lapse have hidden it so well that players still consider the map tremendously huge. It's only when I try to measure the distance by counting Aloy's footsteps from one place to another that I can confirm this condensation.

I tried looking for exactly this kind of video shortly after launch and it at the time didn't exist... Little did I know you guys were working on all I could ask for and more. This is an absolute hell of a comparison video. Growing up in the Midwest I honestly had no idea about 80% of these were anything worth acknowledging. The team at Guerilla Games honestly deserve Game of the Year. This is the most detailed game created since The Last of Us Part II. Sidenote: I'd love to see a quick Part 2 to this video as I know for a fact 2 locations and probably more were missed. For example I know Big Sur is in the game... Also the large satellites that make up Plainsong also exist in real life.

I stop playing games for years. Then my cousins told me there is a game out that I would like called Horizon. Life is busy didnt try it. Years later friends of mine asked me if I still play games. I told them not really. They said If I do check out a game called Horizon. Years later my cousin was selling his PS4 because he was getting a PS5. I bought it from him because of the final fantasy 7 remake game coming out and he gave me his Horizon game. I played...it was the most beautifully constructed artistic game I have ever seen. I was hooked. Hooked so much that I bought a PS5 for Horizon 2. This game reminds me of the many places I have visited and to see this video just confirmed it. Thank you

[@Chopancho93]

My wish for this game is for it to continue expanding and cover the whole world. Would love to see how the rest of the world is and how the different clan/tribes developed in each continent. We got a taste of the Quen in this game. Hopefully we'll see more in the third game (if it ever happens) or a DLC.

First of all, excellent video! I did have one point of contention and that was with the sequoia national park inclusion at the end. We do know that that location in game has to be roughly in the same area of California as sequoia national park due to the Sequoia trees only living at specific altitude ranges. However, unless there is some landmark we can tie to the park in game, we cant say it is for sure the park just because of the trees… there is a wide range in the game where sequoia trees are found, and since all of the trees in the park wouldve died to the Faro plague, all of these new sequia trees have to have been planted by gaia. therefore we cant pinpoint exactly where in game the park is supposed to be without some landmark or building.

I love the detail in what Horizon did with California. The downside is they sank half of San Francisco, but it seems like the rest of Cali didn’t. It gets confusing at times considering I have been to those locations yet if some of it is underwater then most of the rest should be too. Unless the ground itself sank due to the earthquakes, but if that were to happen then the tall structures would have definitely collapsed.
