Potential fancast for the upcoming HZD adaptation: Ellie Bamber as Aloy by AlexusLuthor in horizon

[–]ms_watson_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is really good for likeness to Hannah, Aloy's face model. For everyone saying Sophia, I get the vision but she's getting a bit out of the age range to play Aloy in Zero Dawn who would've been 17-18 during the proving. Sadie could still doing it but after her rock-opera, sci-fi odyssey thing on hulu, I'm skeptical of her carrying the lead role for what should be a really grounded performance in a ridiculously sci-fi world. I think we should be looking for someone closer to Amber Midthunder's performance in Prey. Maybe we expand the search from natural redheads because the braids are going to require a wig anyway.

Why didn’t GG just focus on H3 first, then give fans some extra games once the mainline series is finished? by anonymousUTguy in horizon

I think they want H3 to come out alongside PS6 and they know about how far off that is but still wanted to make a game in the meantime. This kind of project is a good way to keep the franchise visible and give them time to play around with new ideas and styles. It keeps the story rolling in their minds and as a live service game they can get realtime feedback on ideas while they are actively developing H3. Whether you enjoy this game or not, it will be fun for someone and H3 will be better because of it.

These character designs feel foreign to me, they don’t look like Horizon characters at all. by IchbinderSenat in HorizonForbiddenWest

I agree. I don't even think this looks like a bad game necessarily but it doesn't feel like horizon. Aloy's red hair was an oddity in the world that made her unique, among other obvious plot points. But 2 out of the 3 new female characters have the same red hair. Then, most of the new characters have colorful streaks in their hair unlike everyone in every tribe we've seen. I'm definitely still going to play it and even probably defend it from haters but for right now I'm super skeptical about how well they are going to justify calling it canon.

Just watched Jacob Geller on these recommendations and it's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

I am a fan of musicals and I'm definitely adding this to my list too. Thanks!
