December 2022 is the month of leaks. In just a month, we got the source code for Mortal Kombat 2 Arcade, as well as leaked builds of PREY 1995, and Halo 3. And the next game on the list is no other than Horizon Forbidden West.
While we won’t be sharing any links to the leaked alpha build, I’m pretty sure that most will be able to find it. This alpha build comes with a Debug Menu Unlock Code that can be unpacked with PKGEditor. Thus, modders/hackers can take a look and archive, collect and examine the game’s alpha content.
In theory, this alpha build should be playable on a jailbroken PS4. However, and for PC gamers, I don’t believe this is THAT interesting. After all, there is currently no way to play it on PC.
Unfortunately, there is no video of this leaked build (or a video comparison between it and the final/retail version).
For what it’s worth, Horizon Forbidden West was on the GeForce Now leaked list. Thus, we may soon get a native PC port of it (theoretically in 2024 or 2025).
Stay tuned for more!

In the first game every woman was a warrior or a hunter or a short hair bulldyke blacksmith who wanted you to go find their useless husband. The men were always weak and pathetic who needed help or they were evil. Apart from black men, they were strong noble and intelligent. At some point there was this bald bearded dude who wanted you to find the bones of HIS lover, i said “let me guess you gay” before he said “his lover” There is this priest who is the tradtionalist type who prevents you from doing that and alloy says something like “if you cant accept that times have changed you should at least make peace with it”
I cant imagine how much more woke the sequel is.
Also the gameplay sucks and its one of the most borring games i ever played.
Well, at least the main characters are mostly all male-female relationships, and the same-sex stuff is left to just a couple of side quest characters, which aren’t really important anyway because the side quests in many instances are just the same sh*t over and over again.
It’s even worse
i dont even want to know the fact they made her even uglier and then had these vegan soy elfs wrapped in leafs is enough. I know the plural isnt leaf, i am emphasizing the leaf.
Go play “The Quarry” and you’ll see what’s reaaaaally woke. LOL
There’s a part that one dude goes to the side of the lake to… CRY!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And worst, he goes there because a lass broke his heart.
Wokest shlt I’ve ever played and I made sure to kill the lady-boss as soon as I could.
=D
Sounds like that young lad needs to get his daily Dose Of Red Pills from Sandman. Sandman saved me from much heart ache over the years. Every young man should listen to that man’s channel. I honestly don’t know how he’s still on YouTube.
God I hope this will speed up pc version!
why? it’s a boring a*s game with bad writing and ugly characters
Is this build before they made Aloy even uglier on purpose?
Imagine downvoting this when Alloy is a dude. Male brow ridge, male jaw. Mentally ill people don’t even know what a woman looks like anymore due to all the brainwashing they are getting. Women have small hands, hips, smaller shoulders, a brow ridge that looks nothing like this, a jaw that looks nothing like this. You can tell a woman from a man from their skeleton from thousands of years ago. Why? Cus gender was never a social construct. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9e57d16b5444e4902f02b0bf9877573152cf47e946b351ed21903aa32fdc87ba.jpg
For reference, here is Aloy’s concept art: https://i.redd.it/hfzuzq23wbaz.png
And here is a picture of the actress (Hannah Hoekstra) who was used as a reference model: https://cdn.pijper.io/source/marieclaire/2017_03/Hannah_c_Chloe_Leenheer12.jpg
Quite a difference eh?
at this point its impossible they dont do it on purpuse.
They call it activism through character design.
Absolutely. The tech to scan in people as 3D models has been pretty good for quite some time now, so the blame definitely isn’t on the tools. Take Sylens from the game for example. He looks exactly like Lance Reddick, who provided the voice and is also the reference model for the character. Why didn’t they make him look different?
These people continue to go out of their way to make certain characters less attractive. It’s been happening in too many games to merely dismiss it as some kind of coincidence.
sophia narwatz interviewed someone in the industry who said they do it so transxeuals are not offended.
this is believable, but i think there isthe other reason of developers getting attacked by the other sub groups of the sjw mob, such as the feminists
and i include the likes of Kotaku, Polygon, etc as part of the sjw mob
speaking of kotaku, magfest a con who is very woke mocked kotaku by having “kotaku’s journalist integrity” on a sign showing where to go. They got assmad about that and were forced to apologize.
FUNNY, how kotaku is now bad that their lies and hitpieces harm the left?
i know about it. great to put the sign up, but ultimately a complete waste of time in the end because the organisers caved, apologised and removed/changed the sign
the organisers knew that the sjws would complain about it prior, so why put the sign up if they’re going to apologise and remove it
they should have kept the sign up
the organizers ARE sjws, thats my point, they only cared when kotaku smeared them so fck them.
it is on purpose
in mass effect andromeda they had two models, one for a female character (model jade rossi) and one for a male character. the models were both good-looking obviously
in the final game, the female character (sara ryder) looked bad/hideous; however the male character looked exactly like the real life model and was handsome
when called out on the Sara Ryder in-game rendition they tried to blame on it on “inexperience”, “new staff” and “difficult tools”, but the male character looking very good proves their feminist agenda
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/67ef1f5bc450c099a889801cff3b42c12a793d8169e315f0f80ec4f48079b7fb.png
same with resident evil 3 remake.
indeed, when you have even japanese companies (capcom) doing the same thing, you know that things are getting worse
colonized by the westerners watch the interviews and trailers.
when western developers use real-life female models to base their character on, 100% of the time they will deliberately make the actual game character far less attractive or ugly, it’s an ongoing pattern
also remember that in concept/development, Aloy was supposedly feminine and pretty, but her voice actress Ashley Burch decided that she didn’t like the early design because being feminine and pretty make her look ‘weak’ and catered to the ‘male gaze’, i think Burch also implied that she didn’t want Aloy to have anything that would focus on her looks. thus she then “suggested” to change the character’s looks to be “strong” and “empowered”
so of course, Guerrilla Games went complete white knight and placated, pandered to and catered to Burch’s demands
I’ve read other comments also mention that burch having a say on aloy’s design, but I couldn’t find any articles talking about it. Not that I don’t believe you and the others who have mentioned this (and frankly I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if it’s true given just how nasty that ugly broad is), but are there any articles or videos that prove this?
Can you post a picture of your chin and jaw so we can judge how a man should look like bud?
propably less masculine than the women in your average AAA game.
How many video games have your face featured? I’m assuming plenty of modern games nowadays…
Wha https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b98f66a3b22effe7553039a05640aa8558209dd855b33e15923bff631add315c.jpg
not even close

Ugly thai boy, yo!
if that’s an “ugly thai boy” then Aloy must be the GameStop Ma’am
Red head woman > Asian pretty boy
I don’t follow
She is fockin ugly now (was acceptable on the first one), but do you really play games to fantasize about the character? Are you 12yo or something?
The fact is that this game svcks on every aspect, but I find it weird people complaining about the appearance of a girl in a game. And she is not even lesbian there, she is straight af (at least until the part I’ve played she never mentioned liking woman). But I didn’t get to the third hour, the game is really lame. And there’s a lot of woke shlt in there as well.
“I find it weird people complaining about the appearance of a girl in a game”
people are calling out ugly females in games because one of the hallmark sjw/feminist/woke agendas is deliberately making them ugly/unattractive; therefore making this element one of the many instances of wokeness
“And she is not even lesbian there, she is straight af”
so what, she’s still ugly
stop making excuses for Aloy and HZD, the whole franchise is the epitome of the woke feminist horse s**t
Well, even though I got what you’re saying, ugly people exist and this is not an issue (at least it shouldn’t be) when you’re playing a game. The same way graphics doesn’t make a game better, top model actors doesn’t do it either.
At this point, I think you lads are just looking for excuses to complain. Which is quite pathetic honestly.
Game svcks, tho.
“ugly people exist”
ah yes, the sjw “realism” argument
also to play your own game – beautiful women also exist
“and this is not an issue”
not an issue for you
gameplay will always be the most important but other folks may also want some female eye candy to look at to compliment the rest of the game
stop making excuses for the woke
“(at least it shouldn’t be)”
didn’t realise you were the arbiter of this issue
“The same way graphics doesn’t make a game better”
doesn’t make it better for you
some folks might put more importance into graphics to make up the whole package
cut the “graphics doesn’t matter/change anything” card, i really doubt HZD would have as many sales and people playing the game as it does if everything in it was instead Microsoft Paint stickmen and stickwomen for characters, and line-shapes for scenery objects, all in just black or white
“At this point, I think you lads are just looking for excuses to complain.”
Aloy is the main and most vital character in the game and she is quite ugly, so it’s not an excuse
when folks complain about her current looks, it’s more than that, it’s also a way of calling out the woke crap because ugly females in games because one of the hallmark sjw/feminist/woke agendas (deliberately making them ugly/unattractive)
“Which is quite pathetic honestly.”
the only thing that’s pathetic are people like you making indirect excuses for woke/feminist crap

looks like one of the writers.
Is that Rosie O’Donnell?
She looks good to me https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b98f66a3b22effe7553039a05640aa8558209dd855b33e15923bff631add315c.jpg
good question anyone got any pics?
Meh. The first game sucked. I bought it on PS4 and got bored fast. Thought it might be better on PC. Nope. Maxed graphics and framerate still didn’t help. I thought the story was dumb. I see no need for this next entry. The end story said the same thing would just happen over and over so what is the point.
same i played it on pc i am 40 hours in this boredom woke written trash with bad combat and awfully optimized, one day ill finish it and then…i will apologize to myself for wasting so much time on this trash.
Of course there is a “way to play it on PC”, all games are created on a PC, I repeat, ALL of them.
Just because you use a PC to develop a game, doesn’t mean the game automatically runs on a PC.
Developers who don’t plan to launch on PC, might write the code on PC, but they use console specific API and then test it through a devkit or virtual machine. These games are developed on PC, but don’t run on PC.
ALL games are tested on PC and run on a PC, developing needs that, you NEED to be able to play on the PC on real time, to test the features you are constantly adding, updating, and patching. With the click of a button a Ninetndo developer could compile an .exe for Super Mario.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Get a load of this lad.
created on pc doesn’t mean, run on pc, you write down the code on pc, you still need the console itself to run the code
Complete brainwashing. This is how you get kids to mutilate themselves, break up families and turn kids against their “evil cis gendered parents”. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9e57d16b5444e4902f02b0bf9877573152cf47e946b351ed21903aa32fdc87ba.jpg
very subversive.
Made me chuckle…
Sad that you’re not the one being pandered to anymore? Yes all the woman should look how you want them to! Forget about other folks. The entitlement of the commenters here is strong.
It has nothing to do with pandering though.
1) She was changed from the first game. Why?
2) She is now fat. She is a hunter gatherer killing machine…who is fat…this makes no sense.
I personally don’t give a damn what she looks like. The games are quite enjoyable to me. But people complaining about her looks…have a point.
For a bunch of virgins, they have high expectations too.
The cherry on top.
that’s the only insult you people have. the insults are always based around access to the wet hole. women and soyboys are obsessed with the idea of wethole access. I’ve had several wet holes attached to beautiful women, it’s pretty nice but it doesn’t define someone’s value or worth. Get a grip
I’m sure you had
again, it’s the same insult over and over again. it’s such a gay cope
Unlike you who has zero expectations.
It has nothing to do with pandering though.
1) She was changed from the first game. Why?
2) She is now fat. She is a hunter gatherer killing machine…who is fat…this makes no sense. Maybe this is normal according to US standards, in non-obese countries, she is a fata$s.

This idea to make being fat socially acceptable will never happen because humans are genetically encoded to find a fat person unattractive.

“The games are quite enjoyable”
worst game i ever played, you get a downvote for that.
People using an outdated image from a freaking pre-release trailer have no point.
This is how Aloy looks in-game (the character model in the first game doesn’t even come close to how beautiful and fit she looks in Forbidden West) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3855e148b1a02ea19a63c2dd04c9edf7932174d33d327d88129c3d3fa8e4c843.jpg
you’re having a laugh right? that blubber chin/jawline lol
and the same awful mullet quiff hairstyle
you’re having a laugh right? that blubber chin/jawline lol
and the same sh**ty mullet quiff hairstyle
lol, are your ilk honesty still trying to convince people that Aloy is good-looking or laughably in your own words, “beautiful”?
here’s some actual REAL beautiful:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b4f74046fc601c105944cabe409b286592c989a0510be7b51cdf1d537f730b57.jpg
Who is being pandered to here? A bunch of feminist troons who dont buy games on twitter? Also we went from all women looking like big titied bimbos to every single character in a game being some titles ugly androgenous lesbian bulldyke. For all the talk of diversity, everything progresives have made is the same and all their characters are the same. The tough androgenous bulldyke strong woman with buzzcut archetype has surpassed the generic military grunt archetype that was dominant in the 7th generation.
Yet the same people who whined about diversity and stereotypes dont see a problem with this, because that was always the goal, replacment. Example Anita Scamkeseyan pitched a game that was basicly prince of persia but its a princess not a prince. WOW SO ORIGINAL. In the same way you got games like rebel galaxy outlaw that are basicly freelancer and privateer but the hans solo main character is female. This kind of feminist replacement is prevelant everywhere. From last of us 2 killing joel to focus on ellie and “ITS MAM” to mad max fury road being a furiosa movie, mad max was a guest in his own movie, to a new doom movie without a doom guy but a doom girl, to the witcher netflix tv show turning into a ciri show. Which is not suprising how when he jumped ship they made the diverse abomination that is the new witcher show. Which is what the next james is bond is gonna be according to the witer who wants it to be not about dond but a diverse cast of agents, like the new witcher show. Or do i need to point the lord of the rangs, rings of powaa. They turned galadriel into a mary sue knight.
The agenda is clear, turn every franchise made by a man with a male character into a female character and female centric show even though those exist, but not the entitled spoiled brats want it all. Because they never believed in diversity ever feminists are gender communists and female supremacists. Even the new indiana jones movies is rumored to kill indian jones and replace him with a woman. Just like the last terminator and transformers movies did. They did the same thing with the new gotham knights game, killed batman to replace him with batgirl.
Who is entitled again? Reminds me when dragon age inqusition made all the female characters ugly and most of them lesbians. Kinda like the outer worlds that all the strong characters aka sherrif, head of the guards lead mechanic, cowboy hunter, etc are women and all the men are weak and pathetic or evil. The only relationship in the game is taking the lead mechanic which looked good and making her ugly by smearing crap on her face because asian women cant be pretty or feminine these days and making her the interest of some asexual party member. Guess who wrote this game? Feminists on twitter. They write these awful characters.
In this specific game the developers said they made alloy uglier because she didnt look tough enough. Wow not that she has a peach face though, she can easilly defeat those giant robots right? So stupid. The writing in the game is super woke and cringe and the story sucks. You ask a young girl today what they think with all the propaganda they watch in movies and tv shows and they think girls are strong and smart and boys are stupid. Reminds me how that feminist was whinning on reddit that she was playfighting with her boyfriend and he wasnt having it, so he grabbed her arm twisted it around and threw her away, she was SHOCKED by how strong he was. Thats what happens when you consume feminist woke propaganda.
Enough is enogh this woke feminist bs needs to end. Look at the new need for speed game, it flopped because it was basicly and expansion to heat with cringe characters and dialogues, then some youtuber pointed out that if the characters were big titied anime girls it would have sold well. TRUE, case and point atelier ryza, that thigh gap gets the money rolling ,it made the studio rich while their series were relatively uknown up at that point. These is a reason why asia is making so much money by selling skings for cute anime girls in f2p games. Yet the west hates money propably because their loses are subsidized by esg scores which is basicly a woke social credit system the more woke a company is the more money they can access from 3 trillion dollar of esg funds.
These people are so entitled that their failed ideology that is divorced from reality continues to survive that they rigged the system so its not about making profit anymore but being rewarded for being woke and you call us entitled that we are tired of wokeness destroying every hobby? Go eat your dogs poop.
the sjws and feminists have the sheer gall to claim that games pander to the people they hate
the reality is that since Anita Sarkeesian and her ilk spewed all the sjw crap throigh shaming, Western developers and the entire Western games industry have pandered to the sjws for the last decade
200% truth, you can tell whenever a game is made in the west by how ugly ant flatchested the female characters are. Like i said sarkeesian pitched a game idea that is pretty much prince of persia but you are a princess. Ironicly the ugly masculine face androgenous vaginahvaver tomboy middle eaged feminist d*ke with a buzzcut and neon hair is now a more prominent archetype for a main character than the generic shaved head grunt military dude with m4 from the ps3/x360 era.
lol, here comes the white knight to save the day
the irony with this complete abomination of a statement is that you say “forget about other folks”, but yet the fact that virtually all female characters in Western games are now being made average-looking, masculine and/or ugly-looking for a decade means that the audience who want the hot/sexy/scantily-clad women characters do not get anything, in fact for a decade now
and yet you cretins claim to want “diversity”, “inclusivity” and “representation”, funny how it always seems to exclude the pretty/attractive/sexy female characters
the only entitlement is coming from sjws and feminists like you who control, police and dictate how female characters are depicted behind the mask of “diversity”
take your soylent and go back to ResetEra
based
where is the guy on the right from, the actual game?
That’s as stupid as saying playing violent video games makes boys violent ….. Or that listening to Heavy Metal turns you into a devil worshipper or causes you to commit suicide
It’s just ridiculous …….
psst moron the people responsible for this do really think that videogames make you sexist and racist, which is why they make those changes you moron.
John … I demand a dark mode for this site. It’s 00:31 and you just burnt my eye balls.
Not sure if you were joking or not, but there’s a dark mode toggle in the lower right of the website. Not sure about phones, though.
Yes that option is on phone as well.
Thanks. Never noticed it before.
There’s been a dark mode for years, lol.
Leakers should be jailed and locked up for life. These are unfinished work and the [redacted] would judge the quality from the build.
I must’ve missed the “wokeness” in my time playing lol

Very polished alpha build, most final builds are not close.
Played this build, on PS4Pro for lols.
This isn’t even worth of pirating, if it was the case. Shltty game. The lass if fine, tho, she’s just ugly but I live in Britain, so…
