Horizon Zero Dawn vs Horizon Forbidden West - Ultimate Side By Side Comparison

[@ChidiAmuta]

Forbidden West is a huge improvement over Zero Dawn (except in terms of story). However, Zero Dawn was ahead of its time and still looks impressive today. Can’t wait to play the Remaster!

Forbbiden west is nice but horrible at ground mounts and climbing.

​@@ChidiAmuta I agree, but I don't think the story was worse, just different.

[@ChidiAmuta]

@@eduardoalama8505 True. I personally enjoyed both games in terms of story but I’m speaking by almost everyone, not me.

[@eduardoalama8505]

@@ChidiAmuta You mean people disliked the story then?

[@ChidiAmuta]

@@eduardoalama8505 I personally enjoyed the story, but a lot of people disliked the story in Forbidden West and I can see why.

Enjoyed the music and the tunes. Will you re-do it when HZD:Re comes out?

[@the_gameverse]

Sure 😃

[@TheOne214]

While Horizon Forbidden West is a huge step up in terms of visual fidelity, details and physics Horizon Zero Dawn still look amazing to this date especially if you played it on pc in my opinion it doesnt require a remaster but i guess its not so bad if we do get one but of course at a way cheaper price that is.

The snow and Aloy are details

[@Oziverse1610]

Good video :)

[@the_gameverse]

I'm glad you like it. 😃

[@MM.edits6768]

you should wait for a month because zero dawn is also getting remastered so you can compare fw with zd

[@rivvy2138]

The graphics difference is insane

[@jaime.elprisas]

I NEED to play zero dawn like it was forbidden west:D

[@MayModnar]

FW is definitely better and got more details in terms of graphics, but there's something about ZD that I prefer, can't really pinpoint what it is. Maybe because it doesn't look as realistic as FW it makes it more stylish and its own thing?! Either way, love these games, great comparison video ;)

[@Hannanuy]

FW wins

[@0x8badbeef]

I have both games on a PC. Zero Dawn looks better. Not something that can show on KZbin. Side by side don't do it justice because Zero Dawn FOV can be set larger.

[@abdallahbaloch]

Really? In my opinion forbidden west was miles better then HZD on PC. However, HZD on PC is better than the PS4 version graphically.

[@0x8badbeef]

@@abdallahbaloch the colors with FW is either one color or another whereas ZD has different tones of the same color. Also ZD has more granularity in detail. FW has more variety though. In contrast, ZD looks more real, FW looks more like a cartoon. I'm play on a monitor, PG27UQ, 1000 nits, and is always better in HDR.

[@abdallahbaloch]

@@0x8badbeef I definitely agree that HZD has better color grading in some areas. Though I hate the orange hue in areas like meridian and the jungle. HFW handles deserts and jungles much better in my opinion, but it is often too saturated in other areas.

[@0x8badbeef]

@@abdallahbaloch in layman's terms FW colors just don't look right for the lighting and the material. It is like they are emissive. My monitor is also a quantum dot so colors have less irregularities to variations in brightness. But technically, it looks like they had to dumb down the bit rate. Aloy moves much faster in FW because of the flying otherwise the streaming won't be able to keep up. Mind you, this also has to run on the PS4. To further dumb down the streaming the chroma looks like it has been dumb down to either 4:2:2 or 4:2:0. If this is over your head I can explain further.

[@abdallahbaloch]

@@0x8badbeef I get most of that, but your understanding is definitely much more than me! 😅 let's just hope the remaster keeps some of that darker tones zero dawn had. Also, yeah, colours are definitely off for some materials/lighting + I get how bit rate has to be slower for faster travel.
