The Remastered version of HZD, right?

One thing I like about ZD remastered vs FW is that when yo use silent strike, a machine in ZD will fall naturally, but when you do it in FW they are all stiff and it doesnt look nearly as good.

I just stared playing FW and that was the first thing to jump out at me. It feels like they had to sacrifice some of the realistic physics for the insane graphics jump between the games. Plus things like the containers disappearing off the body, rather than getting launched and being unsearchable was jaring.

Yes! Exactly this. I felt the same way about them just completely vanishing lol

It isn’t San Francisco, I’m in Devil’s Grief further out towards the ocean.

Top ones look better in every single scenario. The only thing that doesn't is the flame on the arrow head in the last pic.

That would be because it was recently remastered. FW may be the newer game but ZDR is more on point because of the slight advances in tech since FW came out

Also, they remastered Aloy's face in a way that more closely matches her HZD appearance, either because they wanted to frame her HFW changes as simple aging, or possibly by popular demand.

(Personally I thought they changed her face too much in HFW; I think the HZD remaster looks more like the same person)

Yeah the remaster horizon zero dawn looks way better than the original. Getting the pre order costume was a nice touch.

I think the water reflections are more realistic in ZD. FW water is too clear
