- while roaming the miles of locked off area outside the map, I happened upon what must be a test area for game design
the black pillar provides endless crafting supplies, i didn't catch aloy using it in this video.
to get outside the map i used cheat engine. i found it on nexusmods.com
2:28 DLC enemies
6:22 climbing area
6:48 machine names
9:51 using the climbing area
Thank you. That's a great idea
Intresting codenames.
@@Forgettabledud i can't wait to see the forbidden West names too
The fact they had 3 more animals they didn’t use is crazy. I want to see a crypobear
@@somarribajoshua2041its an frost claw im pretty sure
Imagine finding a Playtest area in real life.
That would be Scary
Exactly what I was thinking. Hahah. Gave me chills.
Lol I was thinking the same thing, it could be a creepy pasta similar to the backrooms :o
Why?
There is no such thing.
That's like saying "Imagine finding Superman in real life".. It's impossible.
A glitch in the matrix!
Poor Aloy must be having existential crisis after seeing those weird things
You know, aside from the other existential crisis the main story causes.
Entire story of aloy is an existential crisis
@@Gastonepisellone Perhaps the sequel is called "Forbidden West" because she keeps walking outside the map to the west and finds the literal edge of the map where it stops rendering.
Aloy is the type of person that would want answers and eventually she would kill God to free the NPCs of their game prison.
Reminds me of Bayek finding 1st Civ temples in AC Origins.
The thing that excited me the most was the terrain types we never saw in the game.
no dlubt early concepts that led to whats n the game
How do you get to the place shown in the video ?
@@SidPil cheats
no worries they saved them for forbidden west
@@prabathdr9771 lol eother that or disabled them so us meschievious gamers cant mess up their precious program😂
Am i the only person who gets a bit creeped out or scared when walking in an out of bounds area of a game? I honestly dont know why i get scared.
Fall through the floor enough and you might get vPTSD
I'm similar. And when textures screw up as well. There's just something unsettling being where I shouldn't be in a game. No-clipping is never an option haha
You're all wrong... I guess none of you would like to swim in a dark ocean right? Because it is the unknown... you feel that this area is not made for walking around like swimming in depths of the ocean...you're instincts tells you to be aware....you guys are humans with a solid empathy that is why...
@@KingPravum I think you're right
I know exactly why. Because 80% of the time that you don't immediately get back, you suddenly & irrevocably lose all will to continue living.
Amazing! It’s like Aloy discovering she is in a videogame and her entire existence it’s fake, like in Truman’s Show!
Well his life was a lie in main story
@@Gastonepisellone good point xD
Horizon 3: Forbidden Knowledge
This is the first time i saw an out of bounds area of a game that's so detailed and kinda finished. I don't know why but that whole playtest area is kinda unnerving and creepy to me.
Same here it's just a bit unsettling and I also saw a video of where sylens did the post credits thing and if you went into photo mode and zoomed you literally saw on of the tentacles of the metal devil and that was just creepy for no reason btw the vid is called how to get to the forbidden west
If you think this is the best out of bounds area, check rdr2. They have the whole Guarma/Mexico all built. Even though it's blocked off and technically you cannot travel there without glitches or cheats. It's all finished. It has npc, dialogue, animals that you can hunt and skin that aren't present in any other parts of the active map. It was surprisingly shocking.
@@SnD340 always assumed it was kept for development but never completed so they would include it in some DLC.
Considering Doom Eternal DLCs adding a whole new world, seems very similar
@@SnD340 the animals are in the guarma section thats why theyre there you probably just didnt see them
The game in fact originally was going to be much larger but was made smaller.
Cracking up at the big red “REMOVE ROBOTS” button
Yeah if only Elizabet found that button, this whole mess would've been avoided
@@russellcontreras394 lol but then she would have to deal with the dread knowing she's in a game
Imagine humanity finding a room like that
Yikes lol
Wonder who would be the chosen one
Мы живем именно в таком мире…
I like how the Stalker and Longleg's names didn't change over the course of development.
Radar Chicken was right there
Later Aloy told of these strange things she saw in the wilderness where no one goes, but her tribe didn't believe her. They said it was bad enough that she could talk to the machines and ghosts from the past, but talks of inscriptions on stones like placeholders that could evoke the summoning of robots and even weather, as If God was working out the details of the world - such things were unheard of. She must have been smoking the red plant too much and fallen over her strider and knocked her head on a rock. Best not to pay much attention to such blasphemy and forgive her, for she is withouth a mother and has gone crazy in the wild.
Lol the forbidden south
am I the only one who thinks that those big "empty" and plane zones with just nature are so cool? I think it would've been great to see some in the final result.
It's actually really nice. Technically you can see them, but you have to cheat. But would be nice to actually have the chance to go there in a vanilla way
Same, i actually loved that concept art with aloy in an endless grassy field with nothing but tall structures there, wouldve loved that
It would be cool if a horde of enemies came from nowhere when the game detects that you are alone in the dev desert.
Quite Subnautica like!
My whole time there i only saw one group of people. There's an invisible fort with nora braves on top and bandits or eclipse on the ground below. They can't see each other but talk about hearing something. There's a climbing Handle but Aloy can't get all the way up
I imagine a monster like leviathan from subnautica.
@@PirateTVProductions that's actually creepy
@@matthieunogueron ye in the void lol
The score that plays when we open the map, it does a wonderful job in portraying a post apocalyptic sort of world.
Whole soundtrack of this game is wonderful
Agreed...I felt so sad and lonely and excited at the same time while going through future Texas the first time
Are we not going to talk about “Cargo Crab” or “Comm Giraffe”?
Wtf does comm giraffe even mean🤣🤣🤣
@@roachdoggjr419 probably a robot giraffe that provides cell signal or something.
@@roachdoggjr419 tallnecks basicly are giant walking communication towers
@@roachdoggjr419 Now I just picture a giraffe with a headset in a call center...
@@the-satellite-girl1044 I was thinking about it being a giraffe communist🤣🤣
This is actually really weird to watch. That world is pretty well done and this makes it seem like you just discovered your world was not real or was made. Not natural. I'm sure it's put there to help with preloads or a demo area for the devs in Alpha they never really deleted, but super creepy. Kinda Truman Show or Westworld even better but you are one of the androids waking up to these facts.
Imagine if Aloy discovered that the machines only finished Colorado, Utah, Montana and Idaho. Everything else was a construction zone
@@PirateTVProductions lol yes!! Fascinating!
Well... technically the world aloy lives was made entirely by an AI
Can somebody explain me better what is this ? 8:00 I am not fond of videogame designs and development
@@disclose_beauty we think they built here first to test machines. there must have been a way to use these buttons to bring machines to fight and even change day and night
And I thought Thunderjaw was a T-rex.
It is, they just have updated and now it's Wi-Fi onboard...
@@clementclarisseclemen3d708 wifi trex
T-Rex pro max™
I'm sure they left it in so that developers could still run controlled tests and squash bugs post launch. Because as we all know, the PC port had a rough start.

@@disclose_beauty its a shape that has a code hidden, it can be activated in codes, lets say one of the shapes were night, it has a code to turn it to night, but u have to activate it
They should’ve kept cargo crab and beach lizard 😂
they're in the game with another alias
@@vantagepoint9270 I think they mean those names specifically. 😂
You guys realise i meant the names “cargo crab” and “beach lizard” right?
I feel like they also physically changed 2 wolves to tigers
I agree they probably looked more like the scorcher before
"You've been living in a Dream, Aloy."
"What's she doing?"
"She's beginning to believe."
Imagine what the tribes would think if they ran into this, I’d bet the poor elder Nora would have a fit
That's why the west is forbidden. Even the carja don't go there. Someone must have found the ancient machine controls
excuse me but that says thunder jaws were based on RAPTORS?! I thought they were a robot version of a t rex
The Forbidden West, nice to see the game out already
lol, all this time i thought snapmaw was a gator or crocodile, but in fact its just a huge beach lizard. and if thunderjaw was just a raptor what the fuk a t rex would look like
Watcher is the raptor ma boy
@@kurtmayor4425 try tell that to the dev 7:39
No It's A Mistake, Se Here At 7:37 They Says Longlegs Is Based On Longlegs But They Were An Ostrich Based Machines, But There Are No Longleg Name Animal In Real Life It's A Mistake And They Didn't Fix It Because Players Can Never Came Here Without Permission, So Thuderjaw Is A T- Rex Not Raptors It's A Mistake
i love how all the other machines have completely different names and then there is longleg and stalker
I love the old names too. I feel like the ravager and sawtooth are tigers now but were wolves before
I thought I'd seen everything HZD had to offer, but this is amazing!
It's so interesting that this entire area where everything was built was just a few km's from the map.
Reminds me of playing the game for the first time.
Yeah, me too (despite i spent weeks and weeks to play it (thanks covid and your partner lockdown), wherever i want to go beyond map borders, everytime i wanted to do it, i was respawnd as far as a kilometer away from where i was)
Does no one realise that you could literally find sobbek ranch out there?
It's the other direction but yeah
@@PirateTVProductions wait really
@@lobamain7371 its actually across the eastern mountains from devils thirst. nowhere near where Carson City should be
@@PirateTVProductions can you make a video about it ? Where Sobecks ranch is
@@mateo1390 i did a few that even show it on the map and walking to it
5:28 here comes superhero landing
Bad for knees.
The open grassland type would have been a great addition. Sadly I guess they didnt have any room for it though in the map
Hopefully in the next one
apparently its based on the actual geography of somewhere in the midwest usa
@@shawncraft2849 its Colorado south Dakota and Utah.

@@gagagaalex3923 thanks^_^
This feels like an episode of West world
Aloy discovering that it's all a simulation.
Now that's Horizon 3.
I think we should all be concerned that the thunderjaw was only based off a raptor. Now i’m terrified to know how big and dangerous a t-rex based machine in this game would be like.
Just look at the size of the chickens in the game, they're huge
I guarantee that some of the terrain types we didn't see in the first game we will see in forbidden west
Why tf do I find beach-lizard so funny?
Snapmaws, me too
I don't know why dev's just don't put these areas in as a final congratulations for winning the game take a look behind the scenes type of thing and as for those icons that could not activate i think the dev's had hotkey setup for them and I've boxes are spawning locations for the dev's
Ah yea the “Forbidden West” they keep talking about
You've made my dreams come true, finally knowing what I've been assuming is Sobeck Ranch, and now I know. I really enjoyed the walk up to the area as well, and I hope that you will show more exploration outside the invisible walls that have been plaguing us PS4 players since launch :) Any chance you can explore those mountain far to the right at 1:38 (and straight ahead at 4:24)? They look very interesting. Excellent vid my friend, and thank you for posting this!!!
I think Sobeck Ranch is the other way, but I'm not entirely sure
the place on the mountain is the habitat of the machines Pterosauria.
Imagine if Horizon Forbidden West had a Ocean area. Instead of a comm giraffe , there would be a comm whale. The robots you'd fight would be sharks, dolphins, octopus, etc.
I imagine a whale machine that hatches fish. Solar stingrays that clean water. There will be water in san francisco, i hope a lot
@ 7:56 There's a little pop up notification that says 'use', next to the black box thingy. I wonder what that is.
Cheers! ✌🏻🏹🌞
I hope i figure out the keyboard, I'll bet i select a machine and then click use to spawn one
This is really cool. I once found an empty village off the map to the northeast of the camp where you find Ursa. I assumed it would be part of The Frozen Wilds, b/c it was before that expansion came out. I wish I’d known how to capture video of it.
I swear, after what the developers do, the world just naturally builds itself, like if guerrilla games have their own gaia
Cool how the DLC machines had nicknames they used in coding
I would never have guessed Sawtooths were supposed to be direwolves... thought they were Sabertooths tigers
i agree. i think they were turned into tigers. i think they made the scorcher a wolf instead, sawtooths and ravagers definitely have cat heads
This is very cool
but imagine how much drive space we could save if they removed this
tons
Probably not a ton. It's mostly preexisting assets, and a few low poly meshes. The heightmaps for the terrain are probably the largest thing here, so I would guess like, 50mb total?
@@tdif3197 still, shaving that off would've helped download time. im not sure how the blu ray was doing for space
@@PirateTVProductions A dual layer BR has 50GB. 50MB/50GB = 0.1%. That's... totally not worth the effort of kicking it out and adding it back in for bug fixing or testing.
Also Horizon doesn’t use a typical render engine, Decima is Procedural generation most of those assets are used on other parts of the game and this part doesn’t truly exist(like all of the game) search for how the game was made and you will see. Only what is on screen exist at the moment.
When you stood besides the black box, there was a button prompt to press triangle which said "use" you should test what happens
The box gives you shards and crafting material. It never empties. I think the devs used it for crafting to fight machines
It shows how well designed the game is when the open area just looks dull frankly. So much craft when into making sure every area looked amazing
losing my mind at “comm giraffe”
Why are long legs not called ostriches
I wonder how much of this out of bounds area was the original map before they scaled the game down.
Where is the WOAH!!! button???
This is the land of the Guerillaians

11:32. Looks like a playground and at the same time, a giant cheese.
Sure does
@@PirateTVProductions A reply? Didn't expect one, but I appreciated it. =)
@@RaymondArias i love discussing this game
@@PirateTVProductions Do you love playing it? It's because, I am having my good time too.
@@RaymondArias i've played 10 times before i stopped counting
Watching these had a dream the FW came out haha. It looked different of course and had different locations, you had to cross through the old zones to get to some new zones as well. But I remember remarking the graphics they had managed to pull off on such a large map on PS4. I hope we get some news soon, we need an actual gameplay trailer or demo now.
A combination of the old map and the new map set a few years after the new game would be cool (kind of how Red Dead 2 did it).
@@mpzakhaevski8988 Yeah that would be cool, because than you could still talk to the npc’s in the old map, including her own tribe. She could be like a story teller to the kids and any adults who wanted to listen, tell them stories of places she’s been. Since they don’t get out much haha.
Still to this day disappointed with it coming to PS4 though, there will obviously be limitations because of that. But RD2 managed a large map without issue, they could also add a loading map zone to the old areas. But they wanted a totally seamless experience with no loading times whatsoever.
So doubtful they’d do that, but it might help with the load of having it all on 1 map.
Off topic but just watching and listening to her riding around on the strider is very relaxing
It's true
Wow, I think this is the most extensive out of bounds area I have ever seen, how did you unlock it?
The weird skillion is probably to test and tune sliding mechanics.
Reminds me of clipping out of bounds in multiplayer maps in Halo 2, back in the day. Good times.
This game is pure 🔥.
I get that they used this area as a test area and that’s why there is some detail to the terrain and environment,but considering how huge this area is and how the game was originally attended to be a bit bigger, it makes me wonder if most of this area out here, minus the test spot and Sobeck Ranch, was actually attended to be playable at some point. Because that is some extreme attention to detail that something only the devs would see. If they just wanted to use an area for testing, they could have just made a smaller area for it.
The Sobeck Ranch area I do understand, though, as cutscenes play out in real time so it’s only natural that they’d shove it somewhere in the game world that inaccessible.
This area was used in trailers and Dev diaries too. Some of it is procedurally generated and changes a bit every time you go there. The play test area looks like it was for testing how much of a hill Aloy can go up, testing rock climbing, ropes, swimming, etc. I think it was one of the first things they built
@@PirateTVProductions Interesting. Didn't know that. Either way, it's a shame they left so much of it unplayable, as it could have added so much more exploration in the game. Well, it makes for a fascinating discovery. It makes me want to hop on again and try to get over there. However, the closest I've gotten to out of bounds was using the Riding in air glitch and, while the camera does follow the machine you're riding out out of bounds, unfortunately, Aloy will get stuck floating along the invisible wall and get left behind. Any machine that comes across her will still attack her too, so I dunno how far you can get.
I've done the same. I can also still move the camera anywhere in the game world but if Aloy is far away the quality goes to nothing
How do people find these? They got too much time on their hands. And that giant tree stump structure reminds me of the one in Morrowind.
I love the names, like, "beach lizard" or "cargo rhino" lmaoo
Parece que o mapa era pra ser bem maior, com muito mais espécies de robôs e animais, e outros biomas como bosque e um que parece até o cerrado aqui do Brasil...os produtores infelizmente diminuíram muito o jogo 😢
Eu queria saber como acessar essa área do jogo, tentei mas qnd chamei uma montaria e subi nela, o jogo voltou pra última fogueira.
"comms giraffe" I'm out of words
Man the graphics look so much better. Everything is super smooth.
These Actually look like test environments that the devs were messing around with
*Casually smashes through cactus*
This reminded me of one of the starting areas in the main map.
I bet you this is in use now with the new forbidden West and everything you either see is under the map or the final textures have been added to it.
thank you very much for your answer
Pirate TV Productions. it's a shame that it no longer works.
I'm sure someone will find another way. At the moment i have manual saved at the hidden camp fires, and can go back, but in one video i walked out of the map just over a mountain in devils grief
Amazing just how far out the map continues to render.
I actually like some of those names...
Epic on all levels, I’m wondering if this was where the game trailer was created back in 2015
My friend says he saw this area in part of the noclip documentary. I haven't found that scene yet
Pirate TV happy hunting for that area, my good friend Diverdjent got me here btw 🤘
@@PirateTVProductions Here is the documentary that shows full map they planned to use , but then they reduced it to smaller part and left other parts for DLCs, which looks like will be sold like separate AAA product HZD 2 . ruclips.net/video/BurrlZL05EQ/видео.html
@@Dany12156 amazing
It's cool they left their test area to be found, but I'm kinda bummed they removed the triggers from the white buttons.
Unless we just haven't figured out how to use them.
Aloy been watching too many Marvel films, she really nailed that superhero landing at 5:25
Not everybody know but the map's game should have been like 50 times the map we have now. They discard this idea because there would be a lot of empty space. Probably it's a part of the old project and then they changed in a play test area
She's probably like: "I've found Dr. Elizabeth research lab"
This is actually Gaia's testing area
The place with the spawn tiles looks like one of the spots in the very early trailers
I think so. I can't find the trailer now but my friend saw it in one of them
@@PirateTVProductions ruclips.net/video/-jSDLwcG7pw/видео.html at about the 3 minute mark, it looks very similar...

Why didnt you interact with the black podium?
I did in another video. It gives you a lot of shards and crafting supplies
Look at all the disk space they are making us waste.
Too bad they didn't test respawn time. I literally turn the camera away from two Sawtooths I just killed and they're already respawned. I'm not even joking, it was like 10 seconds
I see that most often riding the desert tallneck. The ravagers and longlegs respawn in 1/4 of the path
This is awesome! ✌🏻🏹🌞
i know right? i couldn't believe its just sitting there with a camp fire. i imagine if we figure out how to trigger those buttons, we can spawn machines and bandits to play with
@@PirateTVProductions Is the campfire usable on the PC version? By that I mean, I saw you were able to save your game, but can you fast travel to it once it's discovered like any other campfire? It's a massive stretch, but maybe we can exploit that somehow on PS4 if it is usable ;P Maybe @Guerrilla can help out their loyal #PS4 players :D

I assume these areas are normally inaccessible since they're some way off the map.
Yes. So far I've found a few mods that enable traveling there on pc
