Stupendi i nuovi insediamenti, già da quella brevissima gif si nota una densità generale che è anni luce avanti ai villaggi/città del primo :asd:
 

World building with intention​

With hours and hours of exploration in the Forbidden West, how do you create a lush and thriving world filled with activities, but without overwhelming people, or detracting from the overarching story? Espen Sogn, Lead Living World Designer at Guerrilla, explains how his team is central to this very question.

"When you walk through the Forbidden West, everything should feel like it belongs there. The Living World team at Guerrilla works on aspects of the game that make the world feel authentic and alive: the tribes, the settlements, and the people within them. There's an intention behind everything we place within the world."

Clarity on those intentions comes from collaboration with the narrative team. "At the start of a project, we put a lot of thought into every tribe we're going to encounter," says Annie Kitain, Senior Writer at Guerrilla. "What their conflicts are, how they fit into the story, and how they interact with the world around them. Take the Tenakth, for instance. Many of their beliefs are influenced by the ancient ruins of the Forbidden West, and unlike other tribes, they're comprised of three distinct clans. Their shared history, convictions, disputes – all of that is important to developing the characters that Aloy will meet on her journey."

"Our main challenge is translating this narrative framework into visuals that are integral to the world itself," says Espen. "For example, the Tenakth are known to be competitive and combat-focused, but so are other tribes. So how do we distinguish them, and how do we communicate that visually?"

'It then becomes all about the details, the animations, and the behaviors. Within their settlements, you'll see the Tenakth working out, readying themselves for battle. They're often younger because they need to be capable warriors. Their base is an ancient ruin, from which they've picked up certain Old World gestures that they may not fully understand – like using a military salute to say hello.'

'Ultimately, our goal is to make sure NPCs feel connected to where they live, and we work closely with other internal teams, such as Narrative, Quest, and Environment, to make sure that every location feels authentic."

"The Living World team does a fantastic job, and it's so great to see it all come together," says Annie. "Each tribe starts as a bunch of ideas, then is translated into these amazing settlements. Like the Utaru, who were imagined as an agrarian society that's deeply connected to the land around them. Once the tribe is in-game and the Living World team has done their magic, you're walking around the Utaru's fields, interacting with them, and you think, 'whoa, they nailed it.' Now this tribe feels real."

Heading to Chainscrape​

One of the first places Aloy will visit as she travels west is Chainscrape, an Oseram outpost settlement on the border. It offers abundant natural resources and opportunities for adventure and risk. Its tenants have come here for many reasons: to flee problems back home in the Claim, to make a few quick shards, to embrace a dream, or for the thrill of exploration. It's a busy hub, featuring a town bar where Aloy can meet some interesting new characters.

Espen continues: "With so much activity, so many visual cues, Chainscrape was a place where we could demonstrate many new systems and animations that make the world and its people feel much more alive. In Horizon Zero Dawn, there were a lot of assets and things in the background. In Horizon Forbidden West, they're not just textures: they've been elevated into actual objects that are being used by people in-game.'

'Where you previously saw a person standing in front of a forge, they will now actively engage with what's around them: moving materials, leaning on walls, drinking from cups, talking to friends, and just living their daily lives. They move and exist with purpose."

Settlements of the Forbidden West​

Of course, the world isn't just visually detailed – it's a constant threat. Aloy relies on settlements and NPCs to sustain and equip her. Progression, skills, upgrades, health, and tools are all part of a larger ecosystem that structures the huge and intricate open world of the Forbidden West.

"When designing the core features that form the progression systems of a game, these features always have to be built in dialog with the rest of the game's design!" says Steven Lumpkin, Senior Designer at Guerrilla. "Beyond the narrative of Horizon, it's imperative that all our systems work together in harmony to give our players a fantastic experience from the first time they pick up their controller.'

'Balancing progression is a leading focus for us, making sure that every player is readily able to acquire a set of gear that feels great to them in combat, while remaining powerful enough to tackle all of the challenges over the course of the game. We've built an ecosystem that rewards the player for engaging deeply with the whole world of Horizon Forbidden West, while remaining friendly for those who want to stay focused on the core narrative."

At the heart of that are the settlements in Horizon Forbidden West: bustling hubs where you can find weapons, outfits, and all the upgrades you need to continue your journey. "We wanted the towns and villages across the Forbidden West to feel lived in, vibrant, and useful,' continues Steven. 'In each settlement across the world, you'll find opportunities for adventure. They are filled with merchants and vendors: Stitchers, who can sell Aloy powerful (and beautiful!) new outfits in exchange for shards and machine parts; Hunters, who offer an array of tactical new weaponry; Herbalists, who sell potent potions that Aloy is definitely strong enough to handle; and Cooks, who prepare invigorating meals that Aloy can carry with her for a boost."

Hanno aggiunto anche i pasti come consumabili/booster alla MH :nev:
 
“Aloy can forge the machine parts she’s harvested into her weapons and outfits, upgrading them to be even stronger. As you travel the Forbidden West, take note of machines that have visible horns, claws, tusks, or tails. While early upgrades may just need a bit of braided wire or sturdy hardplate, if you want extra mod slots, the strongest perks, or the biggest resistances… you’ll want to make sure you shoot off the Tremortusk’s parts before you take it down.”

Sarà fondamentale staccare i singoli pezzi dalle macchine PRIMA di abbatterle insomma :sisi:
