    Rest in piece Lance Reddick (Sylens). He will be forever in this game.

    I've never been more obsessed with an Open World than with the one in Horizon Forbidden West. The work by Guerrilla is incredible.
  • Lance Reddick definitely deserved the best voice actor award in VGA. His voice was really magnetic
  • @rojoricardo
    Kotalo is the best side character in the game, honor, pride, principles, all that while still being humble and open to new ideas!
  • @kris6071
    RIP Lance... There will never be another Sylens or human being like you. Truly a great person who poured his heart and soul into everything he did, no matter if it was voice acting/motion capture for a video game or great shows/movies like Fringe (loved him as Agent Broyles!) and recently John Wick Chapter 4.

    The world has lost a wonderful human being.

    Kotallo is my favourite character ever. His attitude, his discipline, and his developement are perfect.
  • @KaptainKKD
    I sunk 95 hours into the game and refused to play the last mission until every nook and cranny and side question and my own made up quests were fulfilled. Then I finished the game, loved it, felt sad that it ended, and wanted much much more. Thank you all for making such an epic game with such an epic and original story. Please don't take too long to make the next one! =)

    I didnt realize how much sylens looks just like the actor holy cow
  • Hearing the enthusiasm Lance Reddick has for Sylens and the overall world of Horizon is a nice reminder of just how far videogame voice acting has come since I started around gaming 25 years ago. Back in the late 90s/early 2000s if you ever had a celebrity voice over in a game (even a b list celebrity), they would usually treat the job as just another paycheck and phone in the voice work, not caring even a little about the game in question. There were some exceptions back then (Samuel L. Jackson, Thomas Jane, Vin Diesel) but for every one of those, you'd have two "Tobey Maguire in the Spider-Man 2 game" voice performances.
    I suppose it's become kind of impossible at this point for big name actors to ignore the gaming industry though, it makes more money every year than the entire film and music industries combined. Not to mention that Hollywood (and in particular big name streaming services) are always looking for the next big budget, long form storytelling hit a la Game of Thrones to do big numbers for them, which is why we're seeing such a huge push for adapting AAA videogame properties lately.
  • I am 66 years old, and I have to say I have been playing video games since the 90's and the character of Aloy is one of the most realistic of all games. If AI gets much better, I may end up becoming part of the MATRIX...
    Interesting to find out which characters in video games intrigued or even excited you the most.
  • @Liamv4696
    Just finished forbidden west for the first time, took about 80 hours. Incredible.
    But until I watched this, it never occurred to me who the voice actor for Tilda was, I just had this you know the voice feeling
  • @YFdlogdog
    I have been playing video games since the PS days. Horizon Forbidden West is my favorite ever. I love Aloy so much.
  • @livinglegacy7
    I had NO IDEA that Carrie-Ann Moss played Tilda!!! Wowwwww
  • @cassidyuk
    Ashley you are killing it as Aloy. Love your work
  • I so hope they will continue with more for Aloy. I fell in love in Zero Dawn, became obsessed in Forbidden West. I don't want to say goodbye.
  • @MrBugtussell
    Katallo is my favorite character. How he handled himself after losing his arm and still proving himself relevant!
