Update: Guerrilla just launched patch 1.16 that FIXES the save issue :D Good to note is that while I have the save file issue, it's not very common from the looks of it. Both Dennis & Joyce from the JorRaptor team don't have it, just a small group of unlucky people like me :( Guerrilla is already on it, hope we get a fix soon.
I'm also one of the unlucky few, Picked up the ps5 on last monday Been enjoying the game.. Till the big update has put the breaks on things. Hopefully its fixed rather promtly. I dont think its as small a group as people think
I love how Guerrilla is really listening to fans and putting every bits of efforts into improving the game, as how the players want. but I don't really get why they need to make game more harder by adding more crafting ingredients. specially those sludge are so hard to farm
Well you can basically just buy, as they made the different animal bones skins etc way more profitable to sell so like 35 vulture bones will pay $4K+ for (35 pieces ) so I just go on a hunting spree for like half an hour get say 20-30 sometimes more also even blue skins can vary 1.5k so at $40 per sludge cheaper to just purchase. Also the ledg/epic ammo is damn expensive material wise to craft. I actually had like 400 lobster skins and about 200 shells from first play through so great shard returns
I swear, even after 160 hrs into HFW, I am still blown away by the graphics and sheer beauty of this game. Basically anywhere on the map I'll be running around hunting machines or whatever and you turn the camera and it's like whoa... that is insanely beautiful. I've spent more time in photo mode than any other game I've played.
I started playing it yesterday after the patch. I waited because it seriously looked horrible on my Sony 4K OLED TV in performance mode. Now it's such a beautiful game. But it feels so restricted. Coming from 300 hours of Elden Ring i am used to complete freedom. Does this change after the first hours? Does the game open up later on?
Im happy we got armor transmog, though I wish they could do it for weapons too, like changing a hunter bow into a hunter bow with a different visual, since they added a lot of different clan themed weapons in this game
Should start letting you remove redundant ammo type and undo upgrades from armor and weapons, there are too many similar weapons with ammo types and too many to upgrade.
Yay! It’s only a matter of time till new game + is added to games, I think they should be released with them at the start but can understand if there are issues and other problems that take precedence
Ngl. Ever since I watched TierZoo's video on religion, I'll never look at new game+ the same. They're a channel that talks about everything in gaming terms (mostly nature). In his religion video, he just went and compared the world religions to gaming terms. He talked about how the "Buddhist players" believe in new game+ content
@@arrownoir in this case it's not a cheap tactic at all. It really is just for the players. Would be different if HFW had micro transactions and they were just trying to get you to keep playing, but in this case it's just to make your (and those who aren't early adopters) experience better.
New face paints are The Quen face paints, which are all very subtle with small white dots in various patterns. I was hoping to get the valor surge face paints but unfortunately to no avail. I was able to override and mount a sun wing right away. I didn’t get to the cauldron yet and the base still says I haven’t unlocked it which was interesting. And the face paints and new dye colors were the most important to me because it’s all about the drip.
lol i was hoping for maybe new face paints for each tribe, i really like the nora face paints but i'll take any new face paints i can! but its nice to know you were able to unlock the sunwing right after the embassy! cause i know some people were speculating that you still wouldn't be able to override sunwings until gemini but i think its just a game oversight that says its still "locked" since all the other overrides still stay
@@llaquis Yeah right after I got the base, I climbed to the top (like it tells you in the first play through) and the Sun wings were sitting on top of the mountain like before lol. Then I immersed flew to a settlement with face paints to check out the new ones lol.
Best update so far, I wasn’t experiencing visual issues playing in performance mode prior to this update but I have noticed the look has been cleaned up. I was quite surprised and overjoyed they allowed us to keep all our special gear & the flying mount when starting NG+. I also love that we can now toggle the R2 button instead of having to hold it down to pry open, ignite firegleam or use the pullcaster. I continue to be impressed the way the devs have supported & added new features to the game now if they’ll only return the green camp fire icons to the map when you discover them like in the first game :)
My fav part of this update is, the mount and special tool that you can keep (like you’ said) but the transmog. It is the best part for me. I was so tired of using the same armor which I like for the perks but not the looks but I now I can 🙌🏽
i have a question, are you able to use the flying mount in ng+? i just started ng+ so i havent reached the embassy yet and i know that the sunwing is locked until after the embassy but ive been seeing people saying that the sunwing is still locked until gemini.. or can you unlock the sunwing availability as long as you unlock the base and craft the override?
Can’t wait to try NG+. I just got a ps5 and finishing up my second play through which I started in me ps4 (not no+). Luckily I just need to do the singularity mission.
The problem is that you lack agility underwater which is why I think they have added any weapons that can be used underwater. You can dodge under water and that’s about it. I would love to see underwater combat but they would need to implement a lot of features and changes to movement underwater before they add combat.
Glad new game plus is here and that we'll get to fly pretty early on in it. As cool as getting flight ability was it was a shame I got after completing 90% of the game lol
The update for the performance mode is the best thing to be honest. Looks insanely good, deffo giving this another playthrough. These are the types of updates I'm here for
The only thing i really want now is respawning enemy camps. So they're like the machine sites. I can play games for hours and hours clearing out the same camps.
Not sure if it was added in this one or a previous update but the Greenshine having beem update when being assigned as a job is a small bit really big relief for me No more going to the same 1 tree or mountain where I already got the crap at
I think the armor from the 2020 gameplay is an utaru armor, without the head accessory it looks pretty cool on Aloy. Edit: LMAO it was the 2021 gameplay not 2020.
Great vid as ever Jor! Hope you get your save file issue fixed. For anyone who likes testing the boundary limits. You can get to SF as soon as you have a Sunwing despite the invisible wall, just need to go to the memorial island and go up as high as you can towards the shell snapper island and use the shield wing and Sun wing exploit to get over.
Guys, did you also notice that in many machines the antenna component is missing? Thunderjaw, Ravager, Bellowback, Stalker, Tideripper, Skydrifter, Shell-Walker, they all say in the diary that they should have an antenna that is a weak point but they don't
I didn’t realise all this ‘shimmering’ talk was referring to the low resolution on performance mode. I was playing it slowly to potentially finish it on a ps5 pro as both modes weren’t great for a new gen game, but this update has made such a massive jump in resolution that there’s no need to wait now. Gonna play this all week!!
Wow, the transmog is a cool feature, i didn't know i want it until i tried it, now i can use low level armors with cool designs while having a good and strong armor stats.
I never played NG+ on Zero Dawn, but between transmog, new dyes, new weapons, and especially keeping our special equipment, it might be worth a try in Forbidden West. Edit: removed "and overrides"
Horizons competition with Elden Ring has them putting in alot of effort for content. Hope this competition continues so we can enjoy great content on both sides as they both try to one up each other in certian ways
We still have some ancient valubles chests that spawn inside trees or rocks and some machines that float in the air when they're dead on PS4. At one point Alloy can roll forwards and end up stuck inside a tree or in the floor (latest update installed)
I'm loving Guerilla's continued regular support for Forbidden West. I just wish they'd address the problem that so many folks seem to be ignoring. Aloy gets stuck on parts of the scenery WAY, WAY too easily in this game. Like, you'll run into a tree and it stops her dead in her tracks. This used to happen in Horizon Zero Dawn every now and then, but it's a much more regular occurrence. It really hurts the game, in my opinion, and Guerilla need to pay attention to it for the next game.
Not sure if it was Zero Dawn (or a different game entirely) but I remember a game that did tracking of "ghost levels" before, and on a later date it had dlc come out that increased the level cap, at which time it added all accumulated "ghost levels" to your actual levels.
There was something about the game’s lighting before this update that caused my eyes to water after about 20 minutes of play. I don’t know what they did but that doesn’t happen anymore so I can finally appreciate the visual beauty without having to wipe my eyes every 5 seconds.
Loved playing this game through until the end and achieving the platinum trophy. Finally bought a new TV to bring out the best of PS5 game graphics so I look forward to seeing it in all its beautiful glory. I want to play it again but there is no way I’ll be able to do it on ultra hard which would be frustrating as it means I won’t be able to attain the new 100%. Also, am I right in thinking that if I completed it on ultra hard it would complete all 3 new trophies with one run through, right? Have they finally fixed the bad controls on the mounts? I still have 2 races left but they are infuriating.
The only update that would make me care about this game again, is if they could make Aloy just simply be quiet during a long part of the game, specialy during puzzle, ruins exploration, etc. Please Aloy, just let me play the f...g game!
unless the nerf is for something like the conference call and bee shield in bl2 which broke the game I just dont get 'overall' nerfs in PvE games that have been out for a while, minus that minor personal gripe this is a stellar update, major props to the devs.
they have got paranoia lol, they see amazing builds and nuke the crap out of it, the fact that the stun locks are excessively annoying and they added more increasing stun locks makes this a huge annoyance to me smdh, the machines already don't respect your personal space and hitboxes are still broken, the hitboxes, s will never be as good as monster hunter world!
@@HUYI1 Totally agree, it just seems odd to me that we will nerf crafting and not fix hitboxes when I would argue that hitboxes are just a tad more important than how much crafting costs 'in the wild' lol
I like that we have the option to replay the tutorial this time. It felt kind of odd to meet that it wasn't available in the first game without starting from scratch.
It’s really annoying they still have not updated the ClawStrider Mount so that it can fully run / sprint. It’s so fast when you find it in the wild or an enemy is mounted on one, but the slowest mount when you use it? O_o I don’t get the logic for that design…
bAlAnCe Even though sprinting full speed on a clawstrider in combat in a dense wilderness isn't a good strat anyway, so that's a problem that would've already balanced itself
One major update I would love is if we could modify the layout of ammo types in our Weapon Wheels. Being able to move the Icons for or weapons around so we could group them together organize them more efficiently. Especially with akl the new weapons and ammo types were using in HFW.
Different games drew my attention after the first 40 hours into FW. Coming back to it after the update was a great experience. Its still a little buggy interacting with some terrain especially while mounted but its still one of the best experiences on ps5 imo.
Nice update. I platinum this game recently and have been upgrading my gears and exploring the world. Haven't been able to stop playing it at least once a day.
Any idea if the update at least gives an option to talk less, like during fights or puzzle sections? So that not to break the immersion or spoil puzzles, less hand holding kind of thing?
Question: Do you get to keep shards and resources on the New Game +? I am still upgrading my legendary gear, so I would love to know before I start a new game+. Great video! Thank you
Lmao I knew they were going to nerf the braced shot. This isn't a multiplayer game but apparently it is. Also they couldn't add a block or parry mechanic for the melee or let us override a machine while swimming?
I was hoping the new game plus ultra hard would be harder but I am still one shotting some machines or taking them down in 1 melee hit plus a crit strike.
I played the game completely in performance mode and always thought the graphics looked about the same as other games so I didn’t understand why people were saying this is the best looking game of next gen. After this update I fully understand where they are coming from now, game looks even more stunning than before. honestly super impressed
Do you need to complete the New Game+ trophies you just showed in order to get a platinum trophy if you haven't gone platinum before this update. Or I can still go platinum without completing these new trophies you just showed 4:10
I feel like weapon accuracy is reduced. I was playing this afternoon on my regular safe and all was fine. Then I started the ultra hard new game+ mode and suddenly I can’t hit anything. My arrows seem to just phase through enemies. I tested this on some rebels and sometimes even thought the cursor is fully on someone the arrow will still go to infinity and beyond. Feels very annoying and makes me slightly paranoid that I just suddenly forgot how to aim.
That’s the same with me too, I thought it was just me. It’s so hard to aim in this game, I miss so much. I try to aim a little bit ahead so enemies will run into my arrows but it’s still super hard to hit anything. Idk if this is the Guerrilla’s doing or if I just suck now because it’s been a month since I’ve played.
"Might be something to do with Ultra Hard and is probably intended for a challenge,its called Ultra Hard for a reason ya know,take care out there in the wilds" ,Gurella Games- xD
Gonna wait for that save file bug to be fixed across the board before I think about trying NG+. Last thing I want is to have a corrupted save when I try to start it and lose all that progress from my 100% normal playthrough.
This game is so freaking addictive. I couldn't wait for new game +, so I played this game twice over before the recent update. Almost 100 hours for each one. Now playing again with all my stuff and its almost too easy, my hunter bow demolishing every machine with a single arrow.
ITS ABOUT TIME HELLS YES! NG+ is what ive been waiting for for awhile now same with cyberpunk though chances of the latter happening are looking rather bleak at the moment so screw that anyway TIME TO EXPLORE THE FORBIDDEN WEST ONCE MORE WOOHOO!
Did the Hive rebel camp glitch get fixed or is there a new workaround for it? It still says destroy all weapons cache but I did all that to my knowledge and the mission is still ongoing.
I noticed that you keep the firestarter…. Until you get to the part where you get the firestarter when it turns out that you don’t have the firestarter.
They said in the trailer that performance mode option is on PS4 pro, but I don't see any graphics mode options at all. Is this a bug? Is it PS5 only and they were wrong?

@@HUYI1 Totally agree, it just seems odd to me that we will nerf crafting and not fix hitboxes when I would argue that hitboxes are just a tad more important than how much crafting costs 'in the wild' lol
I didn’t get that PopUp about NG+ but I can still start one from the Base.
The new Update is superb.
I like that we have the option to replay the tutorial this time. It felt kind of odd to meet that it wasn't available in the first game without starting from scratch.
It’s really annoying they still have not updated the ClawStrider Mount so that it can fully run / sprint. It’s so fast when you find it in the wild or an enemy is mounted on one, but the slowest mount when you use it? O_o I don’t get the logic for that design…

Even though sprinting full speed on a clawstrider in combat in a dense wilderness isn't a good strat anyway, so that's a problem that would've already balanced itself
If all upcoming games can have visuals like this in performance mode then there's no need for a ps5 pro
One major update I would love is if we could modify the layout of ammo types in our Weapon Wheels. Being able to move the Icons for or weapons around so we could group them together organize them more efficiently. Especially with akl the new weapons and ammo types were using in HFW.
Different games drew my attention after the first 40 hours into FW. Coming back to it after the update was a great experience. Its still a little buggy interacting with some terrain especially while mounted but its still one of the best experiences on ps5 imo.
Oh yay! Was so hoping for New Game +
Good overview. Thanks!
Actually the NPC's reacted to rain before the update as well. I noticed it like a very long time ago.
Nice update. I platinum this game recently and have been upgrading my gears and exploring the world. Haven't been able to stop playing it at least once a day.
Any idea if the update at least gives an option to talk less, like during fights or puzzle sections? So that not to break the immersion or spoil puzzles, less hand holding kind of thing?
Thanks for this nice info... I will start a new game + tonight on my PS5
Question: Do you get to keep shards and resources on the New Game +? I am still upgrading my legendary gear, so I would love to know before I start a new game+. Great video! Thank you
Lmao I knew they were going to nerf the braced shot. This isn't a multiplayer game but apparently it is. Also they couldn't add a block or parry mechanic for the melee or let us override a machine while swimming?
their priorities are really contrived lol
I was hoping the new game plus ultra hard would be harder but I am still one shotting some machines or taking them down in 1 melee hit plus a crit strike.
Use weaker weapons to get the gameplay balance you're after. We're in the age of having to make your own balance to get the most out of games.
I have been waiting all morning for you to drop this video hahaha 😆
I played the game completely in performance mode and always thought the graphics looked about the same as other games so I didn’t understand why people were saying this is the best looking game of next gen. After this update I fully understand where they are coming from now, game looks even more stunning than before. honestly super impressed
whats the best armor?
Nice I been waiting for a update or new story ect ect.
Do you need to complete the New Game+ trophies you just showed in order to get a platinum trophy if you haven't gone platinum before this update. Or I can still go platinum without completing these new trophies you just showed 4:10
Are the new weapons and Dye only available to use in NG+?
Thanks for the Videos man. Always lots of great info, and lots of helpful hints. Keep up the great work!
That's a pretty big update. Great stuff!
The ghost levels there are also in the current game or only in ng+?
P.s. Sorry for my bad english 😅
have to ask....what the hell are ghost levels?
Just finally finished the first one. Perfect timing!
Great, when the DLC will come out I'll play it in NG+ Ultra Hard, which is the same way i played Frozen Wilds back in the days
I feel like weapon accuracy is reduced. I was playing this afternoon on my regular safe and all was fine. Then I started the ultra hard new game+ mode and suddenly I can’t hit anything. My arrows seem to just phase through enemies. I tested this on some rebels and sometimes even thought the cursor is fully on someone the arrow will still go to infinity and beyond. Feels very annoying and makes me slightly paranoid that I just suddenly forgot how to aim.
Ultra Hard? It might auto turn off aim assist or something
That’s the same with me too, I thought it was just me. It’s so hard to aim in this game, I miss so much. I try to aim a little bit ahead so enemies will run into my arrows but it’s still super hard to hit anything. Idk if this is the Guerrilla’s doing or if I just suck now because it’s been a month since I’ve played.
I had the same issue. I don't think it's us. Seems like a major issue
"Might be something to do with Ultra Hard and is probably intended for a challenge,its called Ultra Hard for a reason ya know,take care out there in the wilds" ,Gurella Games-
xD
@@zeokenx2 i get that. But just blatantly not going were the crosshair is located even when I am in focussed mode seems a bit odd and unintended.
Gonna wait for that save file bug to be fixed across the board before I think about trying NG+. Last thing I want is to have a corrupted save when I try to start it and lose all that progress from my 100% normal playthrough.
I hope that in the next update they take away ghost level and give us a actually number like Odyssey
One day I'll go back and finish this game. Last time I played was a few months ago, I actually got bored of it.
Does anyone have a distorted sounding audio after the update? Tried adjusting in the setting but no success.
You can now also save while seated at the progress time stool in shelters
Thanks for sharing!
I don't want to use the Sunwing until after Aloy is supposed to, just a little lore breaking to me, but can understand why others like it.
I agree. It'll shorten the game too much
@@StrappingYoungLadam Can you use the sunwing on new game plus right away?
@@talespin23 As soon as you find one unfortunately.
@@StrappingYoungLadam i won't be playing on new game plus i was just curious.
This game is so freaking addictive. I couldn't wait for new game +, so I played this game twice over before the recent update. Almost 100 hours for each one. Now playing again with all my stuff and its almost too easy, my hunter bow demolishing every machine with a single arrow.
Do i have to start a new game to experience the performance mode upgrade or does it apply to my current savegame too?
We definitely needed a purgewater and tear legendary bow I'm glad they added them to ng+
ITS ABOUT TIME HELLS YES! NG+ is what ive been waiting for for awhile now same with cyberpunk though chances of the latter happening are looking rather bleak at the moment so screw that anyway TIME TO EXPLORE THE FORBIDDEN WEST ONCE MORE WOOHOO!
Did the Hive rebel camp glitch get fixed or is there a new workaround for it? It still says destroy all weapons cache but I did all that to my knowledge and the mission is still ongoing.
This update has been amazing! I’ve been having a blast playing new game + absolutely smushing every machine in my way.
I noticed that you keep the firestarter…. Until you get to the part where you get the firestarter when it turns out that you don’t have the firestarter.
Finally, been waiting for this
Woot i'll be heading back in to the game after this update!!
Hi,Great video! I was wondering, do the new legendary weapons in new game + appear in every difficulty mode? Or just Ultra Hard?
I can't waitvto be able to dive into ng+. I haven't gotten the chance but I am taking next days off to dive in
I am playing in performance mode (haven’t defeated the game yet) haven’t seen differences but I really love this!
How do you access the new options for performance mode?
@@HUYI1 it’s in the options and settings menu
@@Red_Rebel I looked and didn't see any performance options in there 🤔🤔
@@HUYI1 make sure you’re on PS5 then go to settings > visual > favor performance
They said in the trailer that performance mode option is on PS4 pro, but I don't see any graphics mode options at all. Is this a bug? Is it PS5 only and they were wrong?
Awesome I’ll check out again tomorrow
Can you ng+ off of a ng+ or only off of the normal game?
Yeah you can, if you do ng+ you can do another ng+ on that file, and infinitely do ng+ on top of each other.
God bless this game for the Transmog feature so I can use Sobeck’s Raiment because of how clean it looks.
