This isn't that hard.
Lego is not publishing, SIE is.
We don't know whose developing it, but it could very well be that an internal SIE studio is also developing it.

Kind of like how you don't understand that LEGO Horizon, is still a Horizon game?

I doubt it, translation error most likelySo this is a live service game?
"Bilbill-kun also adds in his report that the game will be available on day one on both PlayStation 5 and PC, which is in line with PlayStation's latest comments on releasing live-service games together on both platforms. "

Seems like Henderson extrapolating. The original article only talks about in-app purchases (which lots of SP/co-op games have as well)

I never said it would, I said like others have said its a step in a certain direction and its ok if others disagree with itAgreeing to disagree isn't going to get you ghost 2 on PC day 1
I don't feel the need to get personal or say people need a brain or low IQ or anything along those lines

It's not, it's a lego game. Just like all the other lego games they make from all the other IP's
How do you not understand this

Then perhaps we should wait and find out what this game really is all about

If that is the case (I really hope it is actually), then its Sony licensing the Lego IP and not the other way around

Yep a step in a direction where a third party IP and third party developed game with Sony characters gets day and date on PC
The next time we have a situation like this such as Horizon Hogwarts Legacy you can expect the same step in this direction

I just wonder how bad this Horizon game will sell, not being bundled with a PS5 or PC/graphics card.
I'm sure Herman will find a way to bundle it with something to boost up its numbers.

Well one would be developed by an in house studio at Sony so theres no contract/negotiation type stuff going on. The other would be with an outside studio which would be using a Sony IP and having to pay for that. Would they want to pay for that license and at the same time be forced to only release the game on PS5 (maybe PS4)? They could have told Sony we will pay what you want for the right to use the IP but we also want the rights to release it on PC day 1 so we can recoup as much money as possible.
When you start working with other companies/outside studios things can get weird. We already know Sony was forced to release MLB the Show on Xbox because of the contract.
Lots of people saying this is the boiling frog strategy. Could be, could also just be them taking a few steps closer but making sure they don't jump over the edge. I don't personally care either way even if Sony did go day and date. I'll never go back to PC gaming unless I'm forced to.

I've come to accept that PC will eventually just get everything. Day and date.
So, all I can hope for now is that the experience is as miserable as possible for you. I truly from the bottom of my heart, hope your frames are low, your temps are high and your PSN accounts get banned

I think it is going to bomb badly. I said in the other thread that I think Hulst is trying to push Aloy as the face of PlayStation. It doesn't work. I just do not think there will be broad appeal for a Horizon Lego game.

It's not that hard. This is an idiosyncratic case of a third party IP and third party developer using a Sony game's likeness
It's not a change at all from what Hermen said.

I think the Horizon franchise does well but I do think this Lego game is going to bomb. I love the Horizon franchise but I have no interest in playing this.
GAAS is day 1 this has been known for years already.

it's just blatant console warring lately using PC as a toolPeople are flexing over a Lego game being the "day one Sony game on PC"?
shame that these warriors don't have something better to do with their time like play games on their preferred platform

Arrowhead is not a 1P studio. HD2 isn't a Sony game afterall, going by some of the replies here.

I dunno, we'll have to see what the game is first, we haven't even seen a screenshot yet.

Sony owns the HD2 IP
They do not own the Lego IP
HD2 is live service
Are you really this daft?

I don't see how that's semantics at all. If Sony licenses out the Ghostbusters IP out to a 3rd party publisher to make a game (which they've done on multiple occasions), it has nothing to do with PS Studios. This is a LEGO game using a Sony IP, no different then Fortnite licensing Kratos to put in the game. Astro Bot is a PS Studios published and internally developed game. It's apples and oranges.

They own the Horizon IP, they're publishing it like they publish 1P games.
With MLB at least you have the excuse that it's MLB who publishes the Xbox version.
No, I'm not daft. I'm just amused at all the mental gymnastics to try and distance this from Sony.

Neither do I. Of course, I'm not a fan of Lego games at all. My kids liked them when they were young, but I'm just not into them.

Yes it is, it's a third party developed Sony published game which they own the IP for and (crucially) they funded.

I'm not the one who needs convincing.
Not Sony developed = not first party according to at least one person in this thread.

PS published but not PS Studios developed game, similar to Until Dawn.

Well, to be fair it isn't a first party studio
However, we don't know who is developing this yet, but either way, it's two IP's at play here which is why it's most likely the way it is one way or the other.
It's also Lego so they'll want as many sales as possible, but I get why it's not on Switch also but I bet that was discussed (then again, maybe this game features raytracing so not possible there anyway, but I'm just speculating)

First party can be applied to either studio or game. Probably be good to be specific here.....ya think?

There's also 2nd party and it's always been a thing.
Helldivers, Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, etc.
Who's to say Playstation isn't the 2nd party in this case, working for Lego to develop their game instead of this being a Sony 1st party?
Do we even know if it's a Sony studio developing the game?
If Sony just gave another studio Horizon licensing for the game and offered to publish it because of the licensing, it isn't a Sony 1st party release and would not contradict what Hulst stated.

Just because they publish the game doesn't mean they can do whatever they want with another company's IP
Yes, daft.
