Monster Hunting Horizon for the PvE gamers.

Guerrillas Horizon for the PvP gamers?

But what if the PS5 players actually like the Monster Hunting Horizon games that's PvE like Helldivers?

we just need the right CEO, Jim started and Herman continues to kill the brand, we just need a new good head for PlayStation to make things right again.

Yoshida. He moved foward Demons Souls, Stellar Blade and Rise of Ronnin.

 

[Woopah]

So Monster Hunter but with robot dinosaurs?

That's exactly what I want.

Was hoping we'd get Horizon 3 to be a proper technical showcase for the end of the PS5 gen and multiplayer titles rarely push the boat out on that front. That said, if this means the real Horizon 3 gets pushed out to 2030 ish and gets to be a full on showcase PS6-exclusive instead, then I guess I don't mind so much.

They need to let that IP rest a while, I loved the first game and hated the second one and would be totally fine never playing another Horizon game again. Yeah the sequel looked better but the gameplay elements they added weren't fun, that grapple mechanic was super stiff and boring, the gliding was whatever and flying was fine except you couldn't do any attacks. Whenever you get a mount they make it the weakest it can be, why not let us have some fun and feel powerful in that world? They made the side characters all far more likeable than Aloy, and when we ended up with

two versions of her

it was even worse lol.

I would rather they started over with something else, maybe a 3rd person open world fantasy action RPG.

Was Horizon at any time really that popular to warrant all of these?

 

[salva]

everyone keeps reminding me how good PS exclusives are but all I see and hear about is this shit

2025 Sony: "who?"

 

[GinSama]

So we will never going to get more Killzone or even a remake/remastered of the original trilogy, right??

 

[Trogdor1123]

The world really would be a great place to explore in an mmo so that makes sense. Lots of places and lore to discover.

If they do it right, it should be excellent.

It sold like 30 million copies between the two games.

They most certainly have metrics on engagement

Nobody cares about such a project. They are so out of touch with the people who buy their consoles.

partly because it feels like their target audience is often the people who don't buy their consoles...

 

[SpokkX]

Lol!

Sony are so clueless these days - Xbox could have won this generation if they were so totally incompetent also

Y'all are insane

 

[icecold1983]

This is so obviously going to be a financial failure.

 

[Represent.]

Fucking fools.

Herman needs to kick rocks at this company

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

This is so obviously going to be a financial failure.

At the very worst like The First Descendant. There is no way this is a Concord

 

[Big-G]

Ehhh no thanks

Y'all are insane

y'all keep on keepin' on now, y'hear?...

Just give me back some of that violent, gritty and fun Killzone SF multiplayer designed only for chads!

So, I'm back to the original question: why is the NCSoft game skipping PS5?

As I see it - NCSoft game is more of brand recognition game, similar to Diablo Immortal and mobile Destiny/Ratchet games. As it plays on PC via android wrapper - it doesn't really a multiplatform, just mobile game running on PC.
And GG is a proper MP/GaaS game that probably will be a PS5/PC multiplatform and bigger scale/sophistication
