#HorizonForbiddenWest #Horizon
You know a game is good when the opening credits sequence hits you right in the feels. The world forces Aloy to be so......alone.
there's something just so.... cruel about how many times she comes *this* close to failure in the game simply because the world goes out of its way to keep her from being used to this whole "Friends" thing. And im not talking about your standard "Life's not fair" cruelty, I'm talking about "It's been centuries and Kratos STILL has to have Lysandre and Calliope's ashes bound to him" cruelty. Ted Faro didn't have much to do with THAT one but we'll give him another foot up his ass anyway.
You know a game is good when you have 100h and you just got first Gaia part, and you are not tired playing this game.
@@Dahaka461989 .
Then you proceed to spend 99% of the subsequent game with an npc companion (which isnt necessarily a bad thing)
It’s good though in a way because aloy knows she has a mission and she is the only one who can save the planet and humanity and that she intends to complete it no matter the cost.
Is it weird that I legit teared up watching this for the first time while playing? Seeing her cross the original areas from the first game, seeing the familiar machines and landscapes with a gorgeous song playing in the background. It's absolutely amazing.
Nah, i got teary eyed too. Was the best game intro I've ever seen to date
I believe we all have teary moment with this opening. Amazing start to the game
I absolutely loved how that was done. The song, and saying goodbye to the old map. Quite beautiful
I came to look for this after i played it. I thought i was alone when i teared up
Feels like officially saying goodbye to the map of Zero Dawn and saying hello to the Forbidden West.
One of the best Intros I have ever watched
For sure. The music and detail on such familiar locations just made it phenomenal
Definitely up there
Is.
This and Ghost of Tsushima’s opening are perfect.
Machines in this cutscene when Aloy literally walks by them: *understandable, have a great day* Machines in the actual game when Aloy sneezes on the other side of the map: *all I know is that I must kill*
This has to be one of the best opening title sequences to any video-game ever made. The scenery and cinematic flourish accompanied by a powerful and matching composition is brilliant.
Fully agree, I could hear my jaw dropping to the floor
I agree. I just started the game and came right to youtube. But there are some intros in video games which are awesome u should check out Detroit become human or ghost of tsushima. Its the same. You play a lil bit and then the intro kickin in!
@@noae852023, these intros are still amazing to listen especially Detroit Become Human, that turns 5 years old today.
I got almost got the same feeling as in RDR2 on the long ride before the ending
no it isnt
I love that they use the same key signature and chord progression of Aloy's theme for this opening sequence.
Good catch, that! The chorus of this song follows the theme exactly
@@PrestigeLearningThat song is almost on par with The Last of Us imo.
Such a beautiful into. I won’t lie I got misty eyed when that title drops
This is how you make a sequel. It gave me chills
Amazing how the intro appears two hours into the game
Didn’t even feel like two hours because how fun it is
I loved that they had an intro to the menu and then one for the journey 🥰
I just started and i have no idea it was a prologue until this intro came on and it's so good!
@@LightBluly if you havent played the first one Horizon Zero Dawn, you really should. Its an amazing journey. You get to play Aloy from childhood and her growing up, the choices and her hardships growing up as an outcast and her discoveries of the old world and what it has to do with her is such an incredible part of the story that it cant even be put into words. I played the game so many times and when I finally got my hands on the Horizon Forbidden West I felt so touched with returning to her world. Seeing her searching for the long awaited answers to her questions.
@@usagirainbow888 I have already play HZD around a month after launch. So playing the sequel and this intro came up really gives me nostalgia. It's like i'm saying goodbye to these machines and hello to the new ones.
I Was literally smiling the whole time of the opening scene
My mouth was hanging open with a bit of tears in my eyes at how beautiful the music and graphics are.
Just . . . so appealing
My heart was racing, so eager to start. My heart swelled in the memories seeing this intro. I have been bored with other games while waiting on this one and I could feel how every fiber of my being came alive when starting the game. It really is different to play a game you truly love and cant get enough of
Me too, I couldn't refuse to smile, it was a short smile but I kept it all the way from Aloy to the border
@@usagirainbow888same goes to me after watching the ending credits of Nijigasaki OVA.
This was such an awesome intro. Seeing all the places we went too in the first game, the music, the moment the game title comes along the screen. Just got past the opening. Can't wait to see what else the game has in store.
@Junaid adored every, single moment of it.
@Junaid Sylens coming back down the stairs. They really pulled his character back from an antagonist at the end, it was a really good redemption moment through a game of him being the seeming antagonist.
@@combatwombat2134 yeah the game was excellent definitely. One of the best games I've played on ps4 or 5 tbh. You have to wonder what they do with 3 and hopefully there will be one if they upgraded this much with 2. Guerilla really stepped there game up and made the first one look shit in comparison. Hell of a feat on its own right there.
I hope yo had a good game, brother!
Attention to detail by the way: The locations Aloy passes by in this intro in order do accurately depict her taking the road from Meridian into the west, past Sunfall, only taking a slight detour to pass by Maker’s End where she first learned about Zero Dawn. Spoilers below But storywise, for Aloy she’s almost got a bit of Joel Miller mentality where she’s pushing people away for fear seeing them get hurt. Rost was killed trying to save her, died for getting involved in the whole Eclipse/HADES deal. Varl is actually Aloy’s first real friend, his sister Vala was pretty close to taking that spot too, and because of how committed he’s been to helping her, she’s afraid he’ll die too (and to substantiate those fears, he later does die), so she abandons him. This game seems to have a pretty prominent theme of loneliness through it. This intro, with the lone singer and huge wideshots of Aloy riding through the Sundom and the West with not a soul in sight are a real mood.
She actually rides a long ways east, past the thunderjaws northeast of the Sun Steps tallneck, towards Dawn’s Sentinel and even past Cauldron SIGMA in Nora lands. Maybe in-game she had to restock knowing she’d likely never be back. Though we know the real reason was for HZD players to say goodbye to the old map.
At least at the end she finally finds what is technically a "blood relative" in Beta.
@@anonykip but views her as a little sister by experience and empathy
I've lived in Utah for a long time and it makes me so happy to see Eagle Canyon (the setting for Meridian City) and Bryce Canyon in this opening. Southern Utah has some of the most stunning scenery and natural rock features you will ever see; there is simply nowhere in the world like it. I'm so glad that someone finally realized its potential as the setting for an adventure game.
Thanks for the info I never knew that
The best introduction to a game I have ever seen. So well thought out. You can really feel that the creators wanted to create a closure of the old book and open a new one. A new adventure. 🥰
That opening song is just so amazing 😭
Yes! It's by Ariana Gillis
@@Erin-bk6ds but where do I find it outside of KZhead?
@@stu7660 It's only on KZhead right now, but the soundtrack will be released next week
@@Erin-bk6ds I can’t even find it here on KZhead
@@GrndAdmiralThrawn Search 'horizon forbidden west opening song' and you will find it with lyrics
i love this intro because it really shows the machines we knew in the first game one last time before we venture into the unknown, to discover even more machines (idk if the old machines make a comeback in fw)
Most of them are making a comeback :)
The ones I didn't wanted to ever see again are back, those damned bears from the Frozen Wilds
@@EduardoVidalSalgadoFajardo and the scorchers. I hate them.
@@benstanfill363 Sadly all 3 of them are back
I still remember beating this game 5 years ago and seeing all these machines for the last time really hurts me. I was there since Day 1. I think HZD was the last game i was very motivated before being burnt out of playing games.
Part of me wants to reexplore the HZD map again with the new HFW graphics and moves. That would be an amazing end-game surprise as this makes me miss the old map lol
Buy PC version and crank it.
I feel like they were inspired by Red Dead Redemption with this opening. One of the best moments ever in open world games was in the original RDR when you cross into Mexico and Jose Gonzales starts playing.
Music and traveling is very common in movies and games.
First thing i thought of
the music remember me on witcher 3 witch is very good.
Also GOT intro with the horse on the field is also similar
With a little bit of Firefly's theme in there for good measure.
If there is anything in the horizon games that is handled with renowned perfection it’s the openings. The training sequence in the first hits you with excitement and understanding of Aloy’s goal and this one hits you directly with her motivation and dread. They’re handled perfectly and I can come back for a replay and still feel the same feelings as the first time.
This can honestly compete with Ghost of Tsushima’s legendary opening, really well crafted with fantastic music!
Ghost of tsushima whas more epic but this one is more emotional for me
Couldn’t hold back the smiles and tears watching this 💜
A fantastic beautiful opening to one of my top favourite game series of all time.. Its a masterpiece, cant wait for the final part.. Horizon 3..
After finishing the main game, this opening and song resonate even more but differently SPOILER WARNING In this song, with lyrics set to Aloy's theme, she wonders if she's alone in the storm. This game takes her from a life of lonely wandering to having a physical home, friends and teammates she can depend on and a family to care for. Loved it!
It’s such an emotional moment. You’ve been with aloy since the beginning and you know that you & her have a mission to finish and that you & her have to do anything you can to complete it no matter the cost. This game runs real deep for me, I feel like I’m with Aloy. I’m not sure how to describe but it feels so real..
Gives goosebumps on every moment to listen this with the gorgeous landscape and the legacy Aloy's leaving behind to head for a greater purpose.
Took me 100hrs to finish Forbidden West + Burning Shores and I'd happily do it all over again.
Me too bro
It's like reading an amazing book, but you get to live and explore in it 😌
i was about to cry when this started playing 😭 absolute masterpiece! the game, the soundtrack and… and everything!! ❤
Elden ring took the hype right from under their feet. . .might be the most tragic event since 9/11 if you really sir back and think about it
I truly love Horizon, and this opening made me cry. It's so touching, Aloy is a real fighter in all ways.
For people looking for the Artist, I believe it is a Canadian Singer Songwriter called Ariana Gillis 👍
Ariana Gillis - In the Flood 😉👌
This opening is why the game is over 80 gigs of storage
Lmfao
Ark survival evolved has entered the chat.......250 gigs.....+
I love how this scene symbolizes and sets up Aloy’s lesson for the game before it even really starts. The first game was learning to care for and respect the world, to shoulder responsibility. This one is about learning the importance of drawing strength from others who care about you
This! I just love how this game is about how Alloy doesnt have to carry the burden of saving the world alone. Of course, there is a part in it "only her" can achieve, but she doesnt have to do all the work and worry all by herself, and that she can relly on others. I remember crying my eyes out thinking about it, and I think the message really conects with the modern and younger audiences
Thank you for posting it. I was trully in awe to see it, yet it is impossible to replay it in the game :(
Literally smiled the whole time, waited 1 year and never thought i'd be able to play the sequel since i couldnt find a ps5 anywhere (luckily i did)
"my voice has grown so sombre, these words don't seem like mine" def Can feel this while playing, Aloy is always so nervous and stressed. Her task is a burden I want to hug her :'(
I just finished HZD on PC a few days ago and I can't wait for Forbidden West to get a PC port.
It felt like Hollywood blockbuster
@@mg-lm6tg It certainly has. It has been an emotional rollercoaster for me. I am in love with this game and with its characters - especially Aloy!
@@applemilk7488 so true. When the credits started rolling ,I felt emptiness and happiness and other emotions at the same time
Omg you are in for SUCH a treat!! ❤ I loved the first game so much, and i think the sequel is even better, if you can believe it. I know it's subjective but i really hope you enjoy HFW too!
It’s time
I remember have the captions on to this song and I started singing it as well
The intro was AMAZING it reminds me of assassins creed 2 starting ezios story and looking back at everything aloys been through she’s a LEGEND!!!!!!
Exactly
Just saw this while playing the game in all its glory on an OLED /Hdr ....my God,.my eyes 👀
Two years, this song is still touching😢
We’ve waited 5 years for this, seeing Aloy ride through the old map did not disappoint one bit
Idk if anyone else noticed, but in the video, it shows that the Carja took back sunfall and other territories from the shadow carja
I think it’s more like the Shadow Carja and Sun Carja made peace and the civil war ended.
@@cookiecat3829 I think OP meant the guards at Sunfall are wearing standard Carja armor vs. the sort of “punk rock” version the Shadow Carla wore
Such an incredible opening to a fantastic game. Sets the vibe perfectly!
Love this game. Setting a good standard and reminds me om red dead 2 and monster hunter. Memorable characters, good music and awesome hunting mechanics(if played that you must shot off components before machine dies)
Such a powerful opening. Beautiful song with stunning visuals. My favorite game series. Can’t wait for the third game.
You played in Burning Shores?
2023, now 6 months after Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Next Sky Season 3 OVA, still loving every single gameplay and soundtrack in Horizon Forbidden West, regardless on which console you play (whether on 10 year old PS4 console or on PS5)!
The most cinematic moment ever created in a game. With this intro the developers set a monumental atmosphere which the game matched throughout. This game hits new levels in every category, graphically unlike anthing I've ever seen and the combat is just unprecedented.
This is just beautiful all around. This game is an absolute masterpiece…
amazing Opening and good song
I love how she’s wearing the shield weaver at the start of the game
Love this song so much it gives me ghost bumps ❤❤
This song legit makes me cry
this opening brings a tear to my eye. the visuals and the lyrics are beautiful
for anyone looking for the name of the song: it’s called “in the flood”.
I get goosebumps every time
Now that you’ve completely mastered sifu. On to the next
For some reason it feels like I've already listened to this opening song somewhere else, probably in the money heist series, somebody please help me thinking about this is killing me.
Seems like as soon as the opening intro kicks in, without a doubt Horizon Forbidden West is one of the best intros out there.
Gorgeous scenery, beautiful song, a surprisingly nostalgic and emotional montage, and a mix of a somber and exciting opening to what I thought was an incredible game.
Man, I did too. This is beautiful and hits hard.
Hello Dan i hope you showcase of the skill-tree, armor, weapons and machines in Horizon Forbidden West
I absolutely love this game -- so, so much! This isn't just a game, it's an emotional journey! Thank you for sharing.
Now I want a reversal of this. Coming back to Sunfall, Meridian, the Nora Lands from places unknown with old and new friends and above all, with her precious found sister, Beta and finding what they'll do with their future. I want that coming back feel and a good place to bid farewell to Aloy and know she will be fulfilled in the role she takes on as retired Savior
The best opening I have ever seen!
Just like everyone
This game makes me emotional.
Masterpiece
I can watch this all day!
This is beautiful..
This game literally felt like a movie 10/10 game
Yes, felt like a Hollywood big budget movie
They just HAD to release this a week or two before elden ring. Completely took away all the attention and praise it deserved, a real shame
This opening mildly blew me away ngl and that song. Just exquisite it really was. It's pretty sombre but at the same time it's got this hope to it and it's just such a beautiful song. The vibe it gives off for me is like nier soundtrack vibes in a way. That's a feat in itself tbh imo. Also if they improved the 2nd one this much. If they do a 3rd one which hopefully they will I can only imagine how good it will be. See what comes next. Genuinely one of the best sequels I've played on ps4 or ps5 definitely.
Now THIS is what I would call a "AAAA" game. It has it all. Great gameplay, graphics, sounds, music, and the facial expressions I've never seen the likes of before.
Such a fantastic game that doesn't get enough credit. The developers should be immensely proud.
I wanted the og violin score 🥺
Sad that was the only time we saw meridian but hey maybe it’ll be in the story dlc or we won’t see it again until the 3rd one which I assume won’t be out until 2025 or 2026 we’ll see by the way horizon forbidden west best game of 2022 I’ll keep playing it until the year ends along with zero dawn uncharted tomb raider and the last of us Besides this is definitely the year for naughty dog too especially since we got the uncharted movie this year
What a baller opening to a game. It hits you right in the feels and gets you pumped for the journey ahead while you appreciate the beauty and reflect on the environments from the first game, it's perfect.
Tho I’m not a creator regarding HZD content, I love HZD. From the very first to expansion to the forbidden west. What an awesome game! Awesome story. Cool graphics, cool realistic characters with realistic movements etc. to amazing detail, from being out of breath to walking in the dunes, down to the design of a latch on a can! Love it.
This is how you make an opening and what a beautiful song.
Goosebumps man, this game just does everything right.
I was freaking out when I first saw this
After finishing the game, the song has so much meaning after Varl’s death 😢 what’s even more emotional about this game is that Aloy still thinks about Rost. Literally, I cried a waterfall. I love this game. I hope they make a third game.
Absolutely beautiful intro. Such an amazing song and incredible journey. A truly wonderful game. Steve 👍
This song gives me sisterhood of the traveling pants middle age white woman going through a midlife crisis who just dropped this song in from her personal playlist vibes
From City on the Mesa to in the Flood. An absolutely gem of an opening. Best I've ever experienced. 220hr in and loving every minute of it. Bravo Guerilla! Take your time with 3. It has to top this which will be no easy feat. Now back to Meridian :)
Beautiful intro and song 😍 beautiful start to such a beautiful game.
Beautiful intro for a beautiful game
Sobbing rn
What an amazing game. Felt like a 35 hour (strictly main story mode) Hollywood blockbuster
This brought such a smile to my face returning with Aloy on this great journey
I can listen to music at 1:56 forever.
Epic ... 😍
While not as engaging as the last game, I still love the Horizon universe and all it offers. Aloy is a fantastic protagonist for the setting. She has been done with normal tribal disputes and sees the big picture ever since she completed her journey into Mother. I can't imagine how lonely her life must be, and yet she perseveres.
I was torn between enjoying the moment and pausing to take loads of screenshots. Game is gorgeous. The graphics are very good, but the aesthetic is unparalleled. And I'd argue graphics are less important than aesthetics in making a game look good. Gears of War had great graphics. But everything in the world was brown or grey, and it looked ugly. There was no colour, no life in the world. Child of Light has simple graphics, but is still one of the most visually beautiful games I've ever played. This has both great graphics, and a great aesthetic. Definitely one of the best looking games I've ever played. Oh, and in the end, I played the opening, saved at the first campfire, started a new game, and screenshot-ed the hell out of it.
So true , especially about gears of war
Late comment here since I got ( stuck ) playing the game late but I remember when I watch this intro I taught Aloy was gonna pass the huge Oseram gate at the snowy north of the map and prob taking west next ;)
The Song is so beautiful.
best opening ever
Honestly the best intro to a game i’ve ever seen, by far
So I just started playing and heard the song for the first time ever and oh my god almost cried. I'm adding the song to my normal music
Such a beautiful game, full of nuance. You can read the body language of characters through their animations.
Man I’m bummed. For some reason the song didnt play for me when I got to this point and I was sitting there like… hm seems like there would be music here?
this song should be in a movie opening scene. Just hope they do a movie remake of this game . Imagine a big budget film with proper story telling and visual effects like in the game!
There will be series about this game but time is in past
