Horizon Zero Dawn launched earlier this year as a PS4 exclusive and was met with huge critical acclaim especially regarding the beautiful environment and mysterious story.
In other news, an indepth documentary has been released providing fan with a far more detailed look at the game’s production. Check it out below:
- Horizon Zero Dawn is an “open world game” and gives the players the possibility to explore very detailed futuristic worlds from the perspective of a redhead girl called Aloy.
- The character Aloy was created by using the face of a Dutch actress, the voice of an American woman, and the body of a British acrobat. The motion capture that took place in Oxford to give her life is amazing to watch, especially for the Horizon Zero Dawn fan, but not only.
- Guerrilla Games is the only Dutch game company making AAA games that broke through internationally with the Killzone series. In 2005 the company was bought by Japan’s Sony. With Horizon Zero Dawn and the new game engine Decima, the company has laid the foundation for a new series of “open world games.”
