Looks like Forbidden West with better clouds 🤷🏼♂️
I'm ok with that, it's still the best looking game on the market.

I want flying combat so bad, lemme mount a Sunbird to take on this Metal Devil
At this point, I'm starting to feel like the dlc won't be the same leap in quality as was Frozen Wilds. They dropping half-assed blogs despite the game releasing in 2 weeks. Not sure the point of these blog posts.
I think its weird that CYAN was barely a factor in Forbidden West. Honestly, I hope Burning Shores IS crucial to the next game's story and not just a side mission.
Huh they're talking about how they upgraded the cloud tech? Which reminded me of how they upgraded the snow tech in Frozen Wilds haha
I don't know if Frozen Wilds was making a huge deal about itself with trailers, it could have been blog posts as well.
I wouldn't really expect a Frozen Wilds leap anyway. Frozen Wilds big improvements were with the facial animations and made cutscenes/conversations more dynamic, problems base Forbidden West doesn't have.
My biggest issue is we haven't seen anything and still don't know the scope. We should not be guessing if this is going to be similar to Frozen Wilds or if it's more or less ambitious than that DLC when we are only three weeks away from release. The marketing for this has been truly awful.
Yeah, most of the things that made Frozen Wilds great are things that Forbidden West already have so, it won't be a big leap in comparison.
That being said, the game focusing much more on flying is new, you barely use it in the base game so, we could see something quite different after all.
Never heard of grass gate but I remember puddlegate with Spidey.
I remember playing the 1st game and thinking it was gorgeous and the scale got bigger and it's looking even better now. Can't wait to check it out.
Hopefully Aloy finds an old world cloud making device (a vape) so we can start blowing fat clouds around the map
I would imagine since some of the screenshots look to be in the main part of the game.
Read the title ready to come in here talking about "Don't nobody care about them clouds!"
And then I saw the pics. Goddamn.

What blows my mind about this is that the clouds are literally just color swapped foliage from the ground.
Definitely. It's a shame you can only mount flying machines at the very end of the game. I'm replaying it right now and I'm enjoying it much more now, flying literally transforms the experience imo. Now, we need to be able to fly much higher, a bit faster with a wider fov and while I'm at it, we need to be able to mount underwater machines and go deep.
You can, it's like needing to pay $20 to upgrade the PS+ version of Miles Morales to get the PS5 version of Spider-Man.
I think you can, but when/if the game leaves the service, you will lose access to both (since Burning Shores is not a standalone expansion)
It took me exactly 1 year to finish the game. For some reason, I really had to force myself to play it, so yeah, I'm in no rush to play any DLC
Really would love to see in Horizon 3 huge sky battles battles happening.
Aloy able to grapple from bird to bird. You're moving miles across the map. Enhanced flight options, attacks, and actions she can do.
Give me my mech dragon Lair game segments.

Don't worry, we're getting some meaty stuff soon. Alongside other games.
I see this and I dream of a Panzer Dragoon Saga Remake...and then I wake up.
Got the Platinum just today. I will keep the game until the reviews drop for the dlc. If it's like frozen wild without any real stake to the story, might skip the dlc and delete the game. There's always YouTube
Took me a second to get your reference, I thought you were talking about Dragon's Lair and felt weird 🧑🦳
Much prefered Forbidden West to Zero Dawn overall. I have quite a few issues with the story the game told about the old world, and also its 'Fuck yeah science' message - even though I am a scientist. I like the amazing presentation that Forbidden West has, and the world is much more varied and beautiful than the first game. I also thought the side characters were more developed and there is a better sense of exploration, partly because the world is very beautiful. But yeah, overall the improved presentation makes a big difference for me.
I am hoping we finally get more attack options with mounts in this, including the flying ones. That is one way they can really push things further in the DLC, and more so in the next game.

Can't say I ever felt like the mount was too slow in the og honestly, I was just mostly mesmerized by how beautiful everything was when I was flyin around. I guess when I obsessively tried to fly over every single inch of the ocean map to reveal it all (before I learned it auto-revealed if I found all the points of interest :\) I coulda stood to have to go faster. Either way I'm psyched to fly a lot more in Burning Shores.
I'm excited for more HFW. The story was just okay for me. "Future people" is just not what I wanted. I loved all the stuff with the new tribes and the ways they interpret cultures. So, I hope the DLC focuses on that kinda stuff
Story was better in HZD and the crafting system was way more of a grind than it should have been, but otherwise HFW was better in virtually every way.
Yeah. Aloy mentioned CYAN to Gaia at one point, asking if she might be able to help. But I think they kind of hand waved it away by saying CYAN was probably hesitant to respond to any attempts at communication, given what happened with Hephestus in Frozen Wilds.
I do wonder if CYAN might make an appearance in Burning Shores though (considering all the volcanic activity in the teaser, which directly relates to CYAN's function).
Yeah, that'd be awesome. Improving the usefulness of machines/mounts in combat in general would be a great area to focus on.
Regarding dragons, now that Hephestus has been exposed to the Apollo database via the Far Zenith base, I wonder if it might pull some inspiration from fictional legendary creatures for some new machines in the future...
They also haven't done any bug inspired machines yet. I'm thinking of a giant spider mech as a new big bad on par with Thunderjaw and Tremortusk. Or a dragonfly machine to mount that could control more like a helicopter.
yeah it would be cool if they picked up again with CYAN specifically in the DLC as like a "semi-sequel" to Frozen Wilds
