UPDATE: Solo remains in custody; lawyer denies allegations The Times also released the police report of the incident.

But this morning, the story that’s been brought to the forefront regarding the star goal keeper isn’t her shutout or the U.S. soccer win; it’s her own issues with domestic violence.

The incident invovled her sister and 17-year-old nephew. So while Solo awaits trial she continues to play and she remains part of the Nike family, something Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson can’t say....

But the vote was marred by the absence of many political leaders, including Prime Minister Hun Sen, prompting speculation that, once again, the killers of the Khmer Rouge might escape justice. “If our rulers had their way, they would not have a tribunal at all,” says Lao Mong Hay, director of the Khmer Institute for Democracy.

Even early on in the concept phase of Horizon: Zero Dawn, Guerrilla Games knew it absolutely wanted a natural looking landscape, a female lead that would eventually become known as Aloy, and a dominant race of machines. While the designers went through a number of evolutions of what these machines should look like, they eventually settled on a prehistoric meets nature sort of concept. Part of this design choice was to give gamers better insight into each creature by observing how it behaves, giving the player a better understanding of what kind of attack style it has and how to prepare for it....

Thanks to the fine folks over at Game Revolution (via NeoGAF), Horizon: Zero Dawn fans can get a good gander at the game’s versatile landscapes and terrains in the highly illustrated map below, as it features lush forestry, mountainous regions, snowy plains, and even what appears to be desert territory.

In future Horizon games, the Metal Flowers should make a reappearance, but they should be much closer to those found in Zero Dawn.

This probably doesn’t sound like much of an issue, especially as the original Horizon Zero Dawn could sometimes see loading screens of a minute when “fast-traveling.” But the developers of Horizon Forbidden West wanted their players to have comparable experiences no matter what console they played it on, and that includes being able to read the hints that pop up on the loading screen.
