The one part I never got was if the Chariot Line could hack and control other units. Couldn't another chariot line go against the other and it be an endless stalemate. To my knowledge it was only the one deployment that went rogue. Could ol Teddy just make a backdoor patch into the others that aren't rogue and then send them along to basic attrition the front lines of any fuel. Maybe I'm just remembering this all wrong or something.

couple small things, the idea wasn't that the robots would run out of fuel, it was that after about 60 years or so, GAIA, the AI that was in fact Zero Dawn, would be able to decrypt the encryption and deactivate the robots permanently, the only reason why they didn't do that themselves is because they had 15 months left, where the decryption would take 60 years.

That means nemesis wouldn’t have been created, which also means the far zenith base wouldn’t have been destroyed, which means the few Far zeniths that left wouldn’t have went to earth, which means Nemesis wouldn’t have sent the extinction signal to Earth, which means Hades wouldn’t have gotten his own consciousness, which means Gaia wouldn’t have self destructed, which means Gaia’s subordinate functions wouldn’t have escaped, which means HEPHAESTUS (Controller of Cauldrons that make means) wouldn’t have made his machines more combat-y. Short answer: You would’ve survived any day on New Earth if the Far Zeniths didn’t exist.

Another detail worth mentioning regarding the Chariot fuel solution: They didn't use biomass conversion as a primary source of fuel. This feature was only to be used in case of an emergency should something go wrong with their normal fuel supply line. But as the rogue army started to replicate and spread out of control, switching over to their alternate fuel solution was the first thing they did in order to keep going.

It's because some people are under the impression they could have if they hid really well in the mountains or something. Not realizing the biosphere itself collapsed so bad that the Alphas were killed by venting their atmosphere out due to it being unbreathable at that point. No one outside the bunker was alive when Faro kills the Alphas. Everyone is already dead outside unless they made it to an atmosphere sealed and circulating bunker themselves, they did not live past that point. The naive think they would do better without understanding what was happening.

Yeet the Faro AI in a FAR more advanced setting and it can be bypassed without an issue. It would a war of attrition to see which side caves in first. Seeing as their AI is all machine the flood would have a hard time getting more troops. And the flood is basically an all you can snaccc buffet for the Faro machines.

This is such an underrated game, I’ve been playing this game for as long as I can remember and it’s one of my favorites

[@billcipher1756]

the story of this game is so good! im sad people dont talk about it more because as someone who ussually does not collect the lore collectables in other games, i collected all of them in horizen. its just so interesting to read about!

[@quickman2663]

Why you wouldn't survive Killzone's Helghan war!

[@jjrollins313]

All I can think of is the weapon that annihilated their planet in seconds and forced then to live on the enemy's planet when I saw your comment

[@nourayman2314]

Great video as always. I really would like a part 2 if possible. Thank you

[@Catvader-cz8qp]

I really enjoyed this video and would love a part 2, keep up the good work.

[@CompetitionChris]

Probably the best backstory ever created in a game. At least top 3

[@silenthero2795]

Faro Plague so strong that not even Ted Faro's browser history survived.

[@brocksnider5452]

I'd like to see the Calamity from Breath of the Wild, or the Great Flood from Windwaker and other games.

[@snowflakefawn8892]

Forbidden West spoilers: I really love the aspect that the creator of these robots actually survived and turned into a real monster, it's a fate worse than death

[@Lorddanglypartz]

Phantom Dust, i feel like more people need to know about this game

[@parkercarpy810]

Let us look to the movie independence day. There would be the one dude to jump on a horse with a nuke and attempt to charge and manually detonate it under the big mofo

[@Putrefrye]

Basically robots where build to work in factory but they became the factory them selves makin there own machinations and live

Do a why you wouldn't survive an unbidden invasion of our dimension, the unbidden are from stellaris

[@buddhapimp8890]

Primitives don’t survive at all in that game

[@happyguardsman8510]

You would probably survive the unbidden, as half way through their Invasion an ancient guardian faction would awaken to fight them.

I didn’t like the horizon gameplay so I didn’t stick with it but this Lore is just WOW😳

[@justlola5651]

When I first played horizon, I hated the game play and just learned about the plot from videos, but ever since I learned it i completed it 4 times

[@woundyenri5121]

No, we depend heavily on tech already. If this happened, even now, we are effed.

[@ticket2space621]

Incredible game and the amount of work that went in to it is obvious. Played it on acid a bunch of times and between the visuals and the sounds, the game is awe-inducing.

You wouldn’t survive Horizon Zero Dawn’s Faro plague. Ted Faro and Far Zenith: Hold my beer.

Honestly the game is fun, and beautiful. But the lore is what kept me playing

[@skully6274]

It is very interesting how all of the events that lead up to Horizon Zero dawn are way more interesting than what happens during the game. Although the gameplay is also really fun. Until you get a bow with overpowered modifications that 2 shot thunderjaws.

I mean, this was one of the game's (quite ironically) points ;), but same, ofc.

[@GunlessSnake]

It took over a century for GAIA to develop the codes necessary to break through the Faro Plague robots, and Aloy had Elisabet Sobeck's genetic access to said codes. If HADES had completed, the world would've been over. Mitigating circumstances, and all that.

[@gracecalis5421]

Kopesh and Scarabs were underground collecting rust for a thousand years, they're not at their best. Also they were strong in numbers; Old One soldiers had to engage hundreds of them at a time.

[@ahmadkhilfi2620]

Just imagine seeing your comrade died fighting against the swarm and soon after, a bunch of machine just came and transforming his dead body into some flying particles as biomass fuel

[@smokeandmirr0rs]

thanks for this story! i speculate that if there were something like chariots, people would make machines that feed on other machines.

[@OMGitsTerasu]

How would a HZD movie play out? Im thinking they can explore the events leading to HZD1. The deterioration of the earth, the first of the chariot line of machines, the war, the 250 years condensed into 2 1/2 hours.

[@tanthokg]

Why is that 250 years?

[@jeannedarc3440]

This game has a incredible deep lore

[@sotheofdaein]

Man the horizon robot designs went hard. I’d say horizon and wolfenstein have my favorite robot aesthetics in all of fiction. That cyclops look with the dark colored ribbed metal is absolutely sick

[@treymtz]

My only option would be a counter creation. If you create an equal destructive ai/robotics system that fights again the fero AI that creates it's fuel and soldiers out of dead machinery, you would have an unstoppable force meeting an immobile wall. With all the same flaws as before to remove any possibly of Fero hacking them.

[@therealmrsteve]

They had 1 year before extinction... they wouldn't have the time to make them and even if they do it would probably be already to late with earth ecosystem completely fucked and life doom anyway... And what are you gona do when they are fighting forever destroying the earth?

The dlc was great because of that. But the rest of it was just kinda lacking. The weapons from the zeniths are crazy cool. I like the melee move they added. The biogut thing was pretty cool.

[@RicochetForce]

@@baytom95 Nah, I doubt we're getting "proper" weaponry in the sequel either. BTW, the stuff we were getting in Frozen Wilds was bordering on sci-fi. Remember the ice rail? Or the straight up railgun? Also, things like proximity bombs are a lot more high tech than you think and this is on standard issue Carja and Shadow Carja slings.

[@Jackson-ub1uv]

I find the concept of an army building itself off of the dead to be incredibly fascinating, and it's an idea that was first introduced to me by Missy's Cybermen. As she put it, humanity's key strategic weakness is that the dead outnumber the living. Being able to directly convert killed soldiers is not only exceedingly efficient, but it's also incredibly good at breaking morale.

[@lukewennlund7391]

This… is a given. No one DID survive, except for the 1% Zeniths who bailed.
