The Guerrilla team pays attention to every aspect of the upcoming Horizon Forbidden West, resulting in a richer world and more deadly battles.
Guerrilla Games seems to be working hard to make the Horizon Forbidden West to deliver even more excitement than its highly successful predecessor, Horizon Zero Dawn. To this end, certain developments aimed at the protagonist of the adventure, Aloy, have recently been introduced to Aloy, and even the most essential aspects of the combat system. But it’s all worth it if the player isn’t immersed in the experience, so the developers have detailed what they’ll do to make the experience complete.
“Our goal was to show Aloy moving more and more comfortably in the environment, without losing sight of him being human, and of course things don’t always go well for him” Explains Richard Out, the game’s animation director at Guerrilla. But such developments can be expected not only in the hunter, but also in the behavior of the enemy, who promises to be more deadly than ever before.
This is because, according to Guerrilla, each opponent will have unique patterns and distinguishable behaviors that will help the user develop their own strategy: “Each human or machine character is designed around clear game characteristics, and the animation team communicates with the player through actions, postures, and movement. We rely on readable silhouettes and behaviors that the player can recognize so they can anticipate or react to the enemy’s movement. ”
After all, hostile artificial intelligence will be a challenge in Horizon Forbidden West, as AI will have different paths to escape, and if they are pursued, they will have more new opportunities and abilities. Sinking into the water or digging deep into the forest will no longer help you with constantly lurking opponents.
As the developers at Guerrilla have said, machines will not be the only threat in the “Forbidden West,” as we will also have to fight people, new tribes, who will fight our hunter in different ways. With this in mind, we will need to pay attention to patterns to learn the techniques of each civilization and the risk posed by each class of human character so as not to get lost in the adventure.
Finally, Guerrilla wants to provide a complete experience in Horizon Forbidden West by significantly improving the game’s sound world. Thus, the enemies will have a wider repertoire of sounds, the movements will seem more real than ever, and we may even encounter objects that make gurgling and squeaking sounds that are really hard to imitate in real life.
In short, Forbidden West Aloy will be the biggest challenge we’ll be going through as franchise players. The richness of the world of the new Horizon game can be discovered on February 18, 2022, for the time being only on PlayStation consoles.
