Horizon Forbidden West: Old Animation lands in a new game

In almost 3 weeks, Horizon Forbidden West should appear for PS4 and PS5. Recently, players always got new gameplay scenes from the game and the press was also allowed to spend a few hours in the new Open World Hit.

IGN even recently released a video that opens the two games and shows what Guerrilla Games changes compared to its predecessor, and what has remained the same (Source: YouTube). A short scene from the video is now on Twitter viral and triggers a moderate controversy among the players.

In the clip to see: a comparison of an animation from both games, which is triggered when Aloy crashes from a cliff and anchored during the case with your climbing hook on a projection. Both animations are running straight away . In other words, the short scene was adopted directly from Zero Dawn, which seems to be a sign for many players that it lacks the developers to creativity or they are simply lazy.

Much drama about nothing - opinion

After all, in the comments, there are also many users who defend the decision of the developers and bring the Twitter users back to the ground of the facts. The renewed use of already made assets, animations and scripts belongs to games developers of a sequel to everyday life.

In September, a similar controversy broke about God of War Ragnarok, as it became known that the animation was taken to board 1: 1 from its predecessor (Source: Twitter).

The reason for the decision is clearly obvious: why the developers should build something completely new and thus waste additional resources, although the old animations and textures still make a damn good impression today? Would guerrilla games at Forbidden West everything from the Pike to rebuild, the development would probably only be delayed only - and the quasi without a good reason.

Many building blocks of Windows 11 are based on Windows 10, some automakels from Forza Horizon 5 are sometimes watching the predecessors similar to confusion and the running animation in the Gears-of-War games has remained the same since the first part. No matter , because in the end there are still completely independent products that can attract with all sorts of innovations. Due to such banality, developers to be lazy for such banality is simply one anding.

Anyone who is revealing about such little things can sometimes take a look into his short lectures from school and check how much Copy & Paste from Wikipedia in which is - and then grasp his own nose.
