A couple of weeks ago, Guerrilla Games and Sony Interactive have shown a number of Horizon Forbidden West gameplay videos on the PS4 Pro console. This time the developers have shared new footage taken on the basic version of PlayStation 4 – all 20 seconds of it.
The land is dying. Vicious storms and an unstoppable blight ravage the scattered remnants of humanity, while fearsome new machines prowl their borders. Life on Earth is hurtling towards another extinction, and no one knows why.
It’s up to Aloy to uncover the secrets behind these threats and restore order and balance to the world. Along the way, she must reunite with old friends, forge alliances with warring new factions and unravel the legacy of the ancient past – all the while trying to stay one step ahead of a seemingly undefeatable new enemy.
Horizon: Forbidden West is coming to PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5 on February 18.
Additionally, the developers have shared a new blog post outlining the game’s accessibility features. The team wants to bring as many fans as possible to the game and provide them with an immersive and accessible experience that can be enjoyed by everyone.
General accessibility settings allow players the option to change the size and the background used with subtitles for clearer visibility. Difficulty settings ensure that players will be able to get the experience they prefer, from Story Mode to Very Hard. Forbidden West also introduces the Custom Difficulty, which allows you to adjust damage levels that Aloy deals and receives to/from enemies, giving more flexibility in adjusting combat difficulty.
Turning the new Easy Loot option on means that any resource components that are still attached when killing a machine are added to its loot inventory. This lessens the need to detach those components during combat. This system is the default for Story and Easy difficulties as well as an option in Custom mode.
Check out the full blog post for the entire list of options, including gameplay assist settings, video/audio options and more.
