- Joe Bonsor is back to react to the Horizon Forbidden West machines. From the deadly Thunderjaw enemy with its T-Rex inspirations, to the agile Clawstrider and its Raptor-like behaviour, Joe gives us his expert opinion on just how realistic these Horizon Forbidden West enemies are. As a PhD student and palaeontologist for the Natural History Museum London and the University of Bath, Joe looks at each of these creatures in detail, breaking down how close they are to real dinosaurs and animals.

Massive thank you to Joe for all of his dinosaur expertise in today's video! Are there any other machines from Horizon Forbidden West that he should react to? Or perhaps another game? - Jesse
Joe who?
Hey, PEter
Definiely Slaughterspine
Slaughterspines and Skydrifters, for sure
ARK! no palaentologist on CZcams has reviewed ark, the best and most accurate dinosaur game of all time! make it before anyone else does! please!@
To be fair the sunwing can also walk exactly like he said, if you mount on them and dont take off right away they exactly how he described
It's interesting how he first calls to a pigeon with the sunwing as in one of the Dutch like news articles on the game the designer actually talks about how pigeons were, together with some other birds, inspirations for the sunwing.
Same going actually for the tideripper, who's movement on land was inspired after walruses or seals
Beat thing about them being machines is they have more creative freedom and don't need to be accurate to real dinos.
Plus nobody has actually seen a dinosaur to compare the two
Just like Jurassic Park!
Real Dinosaurs aren’t even accurate. Most of those renowned Paleontologist in history exaggerated or flat out lied to achieve acclaim.
Plus it was supposed to be (in-game story) an A.I. that designed them, so they don't have to be exactly like dinosaurs - or the other animals they were modelled after.
You say that like real T-Rexes didn't have laser drones.
One slight mistake, the apex predator in the game is Aloy.
They didnt do it but the Slaughterspine has to be my fav new machine. Tideripper second. Whats cooler than a giant robot spinosaurus
Nothing.
The SlaughterSpine is also a nice reference to Shin Godzilla, having same abilities like it with the beam coming from its mouth, from its tail and from its back.
A giant robot t-rex that shoots missiles from its back
Gaia cross designed so many of the machines between modern animals and the dinosaurs and mega fauna of prehistoric eras it's really cool.
Dinosaur reacts to Horizen Forbidden West would have been cooler
Also would've been a lie.
@@mischarowe It’s a joke
@@the8382 So?
My grandfather is misrepresented
I’m offended!😂
@@farhansadik9351 Oh, dear.
It was interesting to see a Paleontologist or Dinosaur Expert explain how the developers were able to accurately base the machines of HZD and HFW on the scientifically based theories of how real Dinosaurs looked and behaved.
The robot dinosaurs is what attracted my attention to the first game.
Im pretty sure everyone was
Mhm
The first game had surprisingly few dinosaurs in all honesty.
Glad we got more in the sequel.
@@natchu96 true,sadly they didnt put in my idea..
@@vantagepoint9270 Robot dragons.
When robot dinosaur in Horizon has more accurate anatomy than Jurassic park
To be fair jp came out in 1993. jurassic world tho that is bad
Slaughterspine feeling a tad left out about all this.
That thing is horrifying but so incredibly awesome.
Really surprised they didn't put the thundertusk in this. Really gotta be based of a mammoth but it would very cool to hear how much or how little and any variations the game has
Tremortusk, Thunderjaw. 🙂
This was really interesting to watch. 🙂 I remember one of the guys that worked on the game say that they had some training from an expert on evolution of animals and why they move the way they do. Seems Guerilla did a great job incorporating what they learned into Forbidden West.😊👍🏾
5:26 Ranton would be happy to see that you can ride sunwings!
Sad you didn't go into the SlaughterSpine or the Watcher.
When you mount the Sunwing, you can have it walk around on all fours
the Plowhorn did surely impress and scare me. A+ on that call
Fun video comparing and contrasting the fictional beasts in the game to real life examples. Too many comments on here trying to be profound when they clearly don’t have a speck of critical thinking in their heads. Animators observe real animals to take inspiration for their fictional creatures… Joe is explaining all of this. Too many people just complain and are negative all the time.
Thank you!
Also these machines aren't held back by evolution.
Funny enough: this is one of the best games in terms of dinosaurs "behavior" and they're not even dinos but robots
Literally As close it gets to dinosaurs with laser beams lol
Hhhhhh
But they do
@@tomasdelcampo2 how
Why u didn't do the spinosaurus/slaughterspine?
Dinosaur expert… Ross?
How did you guys forget to mention the Slaughterspine (Spinosaurous)
No love for the Slaughterspine? Probably my favorite of the new machines in H:FW.
The smaller, feathered pterosaur that he compares the Sunwing to looks like a Rhamphorhynchus, which I'm fairly certain is what the Skyrdifter was modeled after as they both have the same small-ish frame, with the same long tail that has a feathered plume/bulb at the end. The Sunwing was almost definitely meant to resemble a pterodactyl.
Also it's a shame the person recording the gameplay didn't land the Sunwing at some point, because then the expert would've seen that they actually *do* use the claws on their wings when walking around on land in the game
Overall, the designs were really cool, and can be downright terrifying.
what about the boss from the cauldron that looked like another dinosaur?
Clawstrider is also the coolest other than the slitherfang
While Gaia/Haphestus used real creatures as models, they were only models and were created for specific functions (like plowhorns are made to plow), so we can't expect amazing accuracy can we.
In depictions of Dromeosaurs, normally the pronated hands would bother me, but because we’re dealing with robots designed from scratch here, they wouldn’t suffer this anatomical restriction.
What about slautherspine?
Why not include the Watcher?
The Plowhorn reminds me of Slug from Transformers Age of Extinction
Me as a 8 year old kid :
*dinosaur expert*
You missed Slaughterspine
He is a spinosaurus.
100% of experts can be wrong
It funny how a game about robot dinosaurs is more accurate that Jurassic Park
Occupation...dinosaurs!
Or lock ness monster
Robots, uh, find a way.
Slaughterspine wasn’t here
Sun wing do walk on all four
We found joe
Joe mama
Wheres slaughterspine????
You didn't look at the slaughterspine
Ross Geller enters the chat
No slaughterspine? what a shame
Narrative of Self is the result of a feedback loop between “Separate Self” & Cosmos~🎈
R u a Geller
the majority of the robots were designed after actual animals and extinct large mammals, along with dinosaurs
You guys should do ark survival evolved. Go into spectator and see if them interact. Even the game mechanics. Raptor pounce.
Kinda funny how while most stuff been talked about here is right but theres also a few minor things that he said probably wouldnt be a thing when they are.
Like Plesiosaurus do indeed have a tail fluke simular to what youd see in whales and dolphins on for the fluke shape would be more like what you see on squids tho if the fins where horizontal,verticle or both is sth that isnt clear yet. And then theres a few other small things like pterosaurus not having feathers which is kinda true but they where still covered in fuzz called pychnofibers,all dromeosaurids would be feathered regardless of size,and the thing about elephant relatives having tusks coming out of the lower jaw is also a tad bit miss understood cause while Deinotherium tusks do indeed point downwards there still in the moth and had lips around them instead of just poking though the skin of the lower jaw.
Nice
where's the spinosaurus
It’s almost like they were slightly modeled after animals but mostly modeled to feature what they do to interact with the land lmao.
Indeed!
Man you guys are slipping, should have dishes out for a robot dinosaur expert.
They are 3 animal robot like. Dinosaur,African & Ocean. So where Insects robots?
You guys didn't show the snake?
snake isn't a dino lol. slitherfang is very much still a current day inspired taipan/ cobra
@@talentroller4413 yeah but the titanoboa is still a thing right?
@@zabers5818 pretty sure they said this is cobra based
What? Why?
This Joe guy is cute. Paleontologists are hot 🔥
this is cool
Jurassic bot
What excellent fictional insight on Robot Dinos! I’m looking forward to the next “expert” to tell us more!! Maybe the Captain crunch expert will join us next time to discuss eating cereal in 2022.
Just as fictional as dinosaurs themselves
@@bgboy4861 lol wut
@@bgboy4861 lmao
@@bgboy4861 yes, you're right, these fools have not been touched by his noodly apendage. They shall one day suffer, in the beer volcano's of the pastafarian hell for not believing in the great flying spaghetti monster
Don't be such a Dino poo. Go to 4chan your opinion would be welcome there.
Ask Ross to react
No slaughterspine? Booo! Lol :)
Hmm an expert 🤔
1st
Ah yes call in the dino expert... for robots. A roboticist reaction would have made more sense
It's like calling a biologist to explain the movement of the grass.
Those robots are DINOSAUR SHAPED. And the input he provides on the design can be interesting.
All a roboticist would talk about would be more about how x would move and y.
It's a videogame with fantastic robot dinosaurish machines. What was the point of this video? lol
It's just for fun.
not all are dinosaurs
Fun? Why does anything need a reason.
It is possible for all experts to be wrong.
If you have to convince yourself that everyone else is wrong just to justify your beliefs, you’re probably the one in the wrong lol
How do you become expert in something who don't exist
You exist ?
By studying it as people can be experts in Egyptian mythology, Norse mythology, and Greek mythology. It doesn’t have to exist to be an expert on it, as long as there information and knowledge gain from your discovery then you can become an expert in it.
@@PacifyKy Mythology is cultural history and actually does exist tho. Robot Dinosaurs don’t
mate dinosaurs used to exist ?
@@jesselubberts1013 he's not a robot dinosaur expert he's just a normal paleontologist, like Ross from friends
Elden ring is better tho no cap
And the point of this is............
Fun.
@@ColdNorth0628 its paleontologist analysing Robots......let that sink in
@@adamhenson2314 He. Is. Making. A. Comparison. Between. Real. And. Robot. Dinosaurs.
These expert things are annoying lol...
this is lame
Yet here you are
Ur lame
You can literally say anything an be an expert in Dinosaurs.....
How the heck is a ancient reptile suppose to compared to robots…. And plus most of them aren’t even dinosaurs like you know the giant snake…. IGN you amaze me how small your brain is Ancient Reptiles and yes a velociraptor,Utah raptor,deino are reptiles anyway Ancient reptilians and Robots from a game don’t match
Also there’s no such thing as evolution….
@@VENOM-lp3qf well you lost your point when you said evolution is not real. It is real and has tons of evidence.
Also these robots are DESIGNED AROUND DINOSAURS. Literally most of the bots in the game are behavior driven and based around real creatures of reference such as antelope, dinosaurs, mammoth, hyenas, wolves, panthers, etc. Getting someone who knows about them to get his comment on their design but on knowing how close it is to what is a fun idea.
Paleontologist.
Like archeology.
But boring
At least paleontology is more productive than playing videogames. How many actual wars have you ended playing Call of Duty? Lol
Lol imagine being called an expert on creatures that do not exist lmfao
You are aware fossils exist right
Wut?
Lmao imagine being dumb and not knowing that creatures that left behind evidence of their existence such as fossils etc that experts experiment on lmfao.
Imagine believing in magic
