Early Access Review code provided by Sony Computer Entertainment.
Direct visual and gameplay comparison of the recently released “Horizon Forbidden West” and its predecessor, “Horizon Zero Dawn.”
This video covers primarily the visual aspects of both games – all spoiler free, including a look at character models, environmental detail, lighting design, effects, and a few side comparisons.
Both games are being played on the PS5 – with Zero Dawn defaulting to a checkerboarded 4K resolution at 60fps, while Forbidden West is set to its “Fidelity Mode”, which targets 4K at 30fps.
For the sound comparisons – Forbidden West is set to its 1800p 60fps performance mode.
