I honestly didn't think they could possibly make this game look much better than it already did, specially on PS4. But man they proved me wrong. The sheer amount of detail is just insane! It's so much nicer than the original & I thought the original was one of the best looking titles on the PS4! They've really pushed the boundaries of what this system can do!

[gregsteele]

One thing I don't like about Forbidden West: A lot of times, the camera feels too close to Aloy. It makes it difficult to maintain spatial awareness, especially when climbing or fighting.

[babayaga]

The fire spread comparison was with two completely different weapons, I'm wondering if that's the reason for the big difference.

[BehindTheArcane]

I love how you clearly recognize stuff like the grass for example but the slight discoloration really shows that the earth is dying slowly which is a nice detail in my opinion

[muosmes]

The climbing in Forbidden West seems to flow more naturally instead of being more obvious it's game physics like in Zero Dawn. They also improved the water coloration and added underwater swimming in Forbidden West and they made the snow physics more realistic, and the rain was heavier in Zero Dawn. The environment is brighter in Zero Dawn and more evenly spread-out in Forbidden West. I'll have to play the game myself to see if these changes bother or impress me. Also, take note in that Forbidden West takes place in a different location, so some of the environmental differences make sense because of that.

Maybe im blind but in conclusion zero dawn holds up pretty well..?i had it on a pro and it was beautiful. Water could improve though

I only just got around to playing Zero Dawn recently and I'm definitely enjoying it! It's nice that we've gotten to a point where a five+ year old game can still look and play perfectly fine. Fellow thirty-somethings will remember a time when a five year old game was ancient news.

I prefer the old climbing to the new. Aloy gets stuck so many times, even when you can see where she can jump she refuses to jump in that direction and when you get to the top, half the time she won’t pull herself up

[shadyjoanneboots]

I'm probably in the minority but I love her new face. They made her more realistic in FW as opposed to the first game where she kinda looks a little weird and plasticky in comparison, like a doll.

[stopthat]

Just replayed zero dawn. Holds up very well, and can compete with new games. Obviously forbidden west is better, but not a fair comparison. Considering the budget and risk of zero dawn, it is insanely impressive what they accomplished.

[portopilzi]

one thing I was disappointed with in forbidden west was that when you jump on a ladder from far way, aloy swings right through the lower bars. I feel like that is a common enough thing for them to fix.

When I first walked through tall grass in FW I felt something was off. Couldn't put my finger on it until I saw the direct comparison. ZD had better grass physics where the grass got pushed by your body while FW does not. Seems like a small detail but the lack of grass physics made me think I was in cover when I was not in cover and messed up some stealth opportunities. Other than this, I am amazed at how much better FW looks than ZD because when I first played ZD I was awestruck by how beautiful games have become.

[sartavin]

Forbidden West looks nicer, and they give you more movement options... but HZD has better overall movement. No nerfed dodge. No constant environment blocking, or Aloy getting stuck in a climbing motion because you came too close to a surface while in a fight. Generally smoother control.

[sephy]

I honestly think the weather, and lighting effects were better in zero dawn. i was blown away by the lighting in that game and the way it filtered through fog and stuff. it seems heavily toned down in forbidden west in that aspect.

[courtneywestberry]

I was in love with the first. Loved loved loved the second one even more. Great storyline. Gameplay isn’t hard to learn, keeps you attracted to the game by how breathtaking it actually is.

One thing I never see mentioned is how amazing the animal models are in FW. Even small animals like lizards and scorpions look incredible up close.

Since you’re here, might as well check out some crisp gameplay 😉

One thing not mentioned but that is way much better are the campfires. In ZD the woods were comnected in a cone form while in FB its randomized which makes it looks 100% more natural than before

[mr.shneeblie]

Forbidden West is an improvement in basically every aspect, and one of the best sequels to any game ever.

[kalamies.]

Wow Zero Dawn looks so much more aged than I remember, so weird to see it after such a long time
