Billbill-kun: Horizon Lego is day 1 on PC and PS5

Lego is a format game.
There are a lot of games that have LEGO name. It's there to show you that the game is on the format of a lego.

Lego horizon is indication that the game would play as a Lego. It's not an IP thing, but a format indication.
LEGO is an IP.

I finally zoomed in on your picture. I don't know why I always thought you were using a picture of a Lemming.

The amount of spin and denial let's you know there are 100% fans on all sides. People say xbox fans are crazy for believing Phils lies and then suck up the same shit from their almighty plastic box manufacturer.

Tell us how you really feel Jay.

How many years of that struggle have you lived?
 
One thing we will all agree on...... In another time this game would have been exclusive to PS console day one. But the times and needs are different and hence the discussions...

In the context of the discussion, Lego is an IP. That's a fact. That isn't debatable. Here.....

Lego was always this powerful. They just allowed PS to grow to this point before exerting its will. Kind of like the Reapers in Mass Effect.
 
While I've tried to steer people of subject, what's the thing now?

How much Lego is in my horizon, or how much horizon is in my Lego?
 
It would actually bridge the gap of kids growing up on Sony IP. You can hardly let a child play Uncharted or Horizon but, to lego it would engage kids earlier and get around the age rating.

The fact the game is made via third party and a risk of using the lego method makes sense to include PC to cover any potential commercial failure.

As I've said before no new games will be on PC Day 1 unless it is a remake/remaster or GAAS. Playstation Studios will continue that method as we've seen what happened to Xbox with Day 1 on PC.

So you are just making my point clear.

The Lego format is what makes it stands out.

Because the game is exactly like a Lego toy. Hence the likeness and format.

Oh hell yeah.

You wouldn't have Playstation CEO's telling press about their PC plans 5~ years ago.
 
Lego is a company man for toys.

IP would be something like marvel or DC.

Maybe naming rights to an extent. So a licensed name.

Didn't answer my question

My question is did Sony not have any say in where their IP went?
Sure, most likely, that's all part of the negotiation process which isn't something we are privy to.

For all we know Lego wanted it on all platforms and as part of the negotiation they settled on two. The question is would Sony want to lose out on a potentially lucrative deal with Lego just by not allowing it to go to PC?
This could be a similar situation to the MLB deal whereby Sony has to give up on full platform exclusivity to allow the deal to happen.

In the end though, currently we just don't know, all we can do is speculate but it will be down to agreements between the two on what platforms it is on so it won't just be up to Sony alone (and yes I'm aware Sony could just say no, but so could Lego).

Difference with MLB is Sony wasn't given the choice and we simply don't know how much Sony wanted this Lego game on PC, like we said thats not something we were privy to

The difference with MLB is that MLB is a huge brand with a deal that produces best-sellers while a Lego Horizon Zero Dawn will have decent sales at best. On the con side, Sony loses all credibility regarding exclusive games after contradicting Hermen's statements.
