Horizon: Forbidden West Faithfully Recreates San Francisco in the Game World

In Horizon: Forbidden West we will visit the most popular landmarks of San Francisco. The fidelity of their reproduction can sweep you of your feet.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  1. A comparison of locations in Horizon: Forbidden West with their real-life counterparts in San Francisco was published on YouTube.

It seems that Horizon: Forbidden West will be an exceptionally faithful representation of the real San Francisco - the city in whose ruins most of the game's action will be set. We can compare the faithfulness in showing the details thanks to the material prepared by youtuber ElAnalistaDeBits based on the recent gameplay show.

The four-minute video juxtaposes real-world locations with their worn and torn counterparts in Horizon: Forbidden West. In the comparison we see the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street (dubbed the world's most twisted street), the Palace of Fine Arts, the Transamerica Pyramid skyscraper, the old City Hall and the San Francisco Bay Ferry Building.

The release of Horizon: Forbidden West is scheduled for 2021, but Guerrilla Games is willing to delay it if the game needs additional polish. The latest video showed the gameplay in the continuation of Aloy's adventures. There was no revolution in gameplay, but the path of evolution chosen by the studio seems to fit perfectly.

Started writing about games on the SquareZone website. Later, he wrote and managed the non-existent PSSite.com, and currently runs his own blog about games. He hasn't yet written a text that he would be 100% satisfied with. He started his adventure with games at the age of 3, when he managed to convince his father to buy a C64 computer. The love for electronic entertainment awakened by Flimbo's Quest blossomed during the first adventures with Heroes of Might & Magic, reaching its peak after purchasing the first PlayStation. As he grew older, he had more encounters with Nintendo portable consoles, and also returned to the PC as an additional gaming platform. He collects games and is a fan of emulation.
