Confirmed to be an AAA game

Confirmed to be an AAA game

(Still getting it, looks like fun)

 

[solecon64]

The simple fact that a fucking Lego game is being viewed as AAA is such a wonderful representation of this whole generation.

 

[Dafegamer]

People who complained about/ mocked Microsoft Devs' celebration of releasing games on PlayStation, where you at?

 

[BlackTron]

Does AAA simply mean finished product now?

Microsoft actually released high quality games on PSX. This is a LEGO HORIZON crossover.

AAA has to do with the budget, those things are hard to do, Lego or not.

I know, and whoever handled the budget for this should be banned from ever working in the industry. We're at the point where they're just using game dev to launder money, cause a fucking Lego game will never be AAA.

Yeah, it's crazy. SIE has practically unlimited funds, but it still seems insane to allocate so much for this project.

 

[mdkirby]

I'll buy it, my wife loves Lego and Lego games, and I like the world of horizon, I just find Aloy insufferable. Her Lego version from the trailers looks way more charming and likeable.

 

[Cakeboxer]

If people can be helicopters, LEGO games can be AAA.

 

[kazuyamishima]

Don't you worry OP, more Platforms mean more money to Sony, the company you hate a lot.

Even PS fanboys are sick of Horizon and this is the Lego version.

 

[MMaRsu]

Im so sick of Horizon. And this is coming from a dutch man who was once proud of such an amazing Dutch developed game.

 

[Dafegamer]

I mean it's literally everywhere now, I understand getting tired of it. You can feel the marks of Hermen Hulst getting to a higher position in the company

Well if you wan't to get technical. AAA just means it has a high budget due to it being considered a safe bet by the publisher. The term has after all nothing to do with quality or scope.

 

[playbignbox]

Now port the main Horizon game and I'll be impressed

 

[GymWolf]

T

Now port the main Horizon game and I'll be impressed

They did it already

Yeah this is also bad. Playstation wants to be a third party developer for switch and steam, I think it's a disaster for the brand.

 

[midnightAI]

I'm not

 

[RoboFu]

It's more AAA than a lot of big games released this year.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

If that game is truly AAA the studio must shut down effect immediately.

 

[Mister Wolf]

This Lego game is a dime a dozen on the Switch platform. None of them are "AAA".

 

[BlackTron]

I'm not

Not trying to speak for everyone, and ironically I'm guessing this game will be more fun than normal Horizon, if not as graphically impressive.

Just saying it's not that big of a flex. Like AAA means completed game and then you add A's depending on how much shareholder value you consume to make it.

 

[Markio128]

Like it or not, this'll probably sell like hot pies on the Switch.

 

[CompleteGlobalSaturation]

Does anyone care about this bland character and shit IP?

To be honest I'm shocked Horizon has sold as many copies it has.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Even PS fanboys are sick of Horizon and this is the Lego version.

2 games released in the span of 6 years is enough for people to be sick of an IP? Damn

Imagine if Nintendo fans were like this for IPs such as Mario, Pokemon, etc.

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Huh? A remastered game isn't the same as a new game. And you don't have to buy those.

If that's something them The Witcher fans are eating good:

2015 - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
2016 - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt GOTY edition
2022 - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt next gen


Unless...let me guess...this is different because you have to pay 10 bucks for the Horizon new remastered version?

 

[genesisblock]

Wait. How much budget are we talking about for this Lego game to be considered AAA?

I'm saying I'm not sick of Horizon, just bought the Zero Dawn Remaster, cant wait to play it, Forbidden West is up there as one of my favourite games this gen (the VERY pretty visuals do help with that)

As for Lego Horizon, I think the AAA thing is just because they think of it as a AAA franchise, which it is (dont care either way, all I care about is the game being fun)

 

[Ceadeus]

It even has sackboy costume. Which means the Switch has now more LBP than on PS5! Jeez that's sad

 

[Senua]

2 games released in the span of 6 years is enough for people to be sick of an IP? Damn

Depends on the quality of the IP

 

[midnightAI]

I think you answered your own question, MANY people care about this 'shit' (your words) IP and character (I wouldnt really care if they replace her or not and have other games in the same world like they are doing with Ghost)

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Can't wait for people to play it on Switch in glorious 20FPS with dynamic resolution.

 

[midnightAI]

It does? how? (genuinely interested)

 

[Ceadeus]

It does? how? (genuinely interested)

Forgot about Sackboy Adventure, I was thinking about LBP 3 being offline.

At the end of the trailer you can see the character wearing a sackboy costume. Also a ratchet costume.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Depends on the quality of the IP

Horizon: 89
Forbidden West: 88

(both metacritic scores)

The first game sold around or over 20M copies in like 5 years. The second one had sold around 9M after a year and when it was included on PS Plus.

Sounds like a good IP to invest.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

It's AAA due to the Lego license fee lol

 

[Senua]

Forbidden West: 88

I know theyre popular, but clearly many people feel it's over saturated. If they released banger after banger they'd not have this problem. Instead they're just solid titles in a lot of eyes

 

[Fake]

Just stop with this franchise.

 

[ReyBrujo]

I think my pressure went up after reading the thread, so much salt around.

 

[MMaRsu]

Man Sony fans are some of the dumbest people on the planet arent they? Just judging from above tweets

They dont understand that it benefits Sony lol

 

[Woopah]

I think my pressure went up after reading the thread, so much salt around.

Imagine using the words "cancer" and "scumbag" for making a video game. What is wrong with people.

 

[ungalo]

Even worse, imagine an Horizon game being AAA. Fire them all !

 

[Schmendrick]

I think my pressure went up after reading the thread, so much salt around.

I slowly start to understand why some developers are very condescending when they are talking about "gamers".....
I can`t even imagine what kind of inbreds that must be at the other end of the line.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

People who complained about/ mocked Microsoft Devs' celebration of releasing games on PlayStation, where you at?

People mocked Xbox for crashing and burning and the resulting necessity of going multiplatform.

That's quite different from Sony's situation.

 

[chokotoureiki]

Hmm I see it more as Sony trying to lay its stake on Nintendo territory. Slowly pull the Ninty fans away into the Sony collective.

 

[DonF]

funny how my gut feeling every time horizon is mentioned is "blah"

the game is the color grey made a game. is bland as fuck. yet it makes sales. it looks great yeah, but the game itself is so boring. I've found people who love it. but to me its just meh. I dont feel alone in the comments.

 

[ReyBrujo]

I slowly start to understand why some developers are very condescending when they are talking about "gamers".....

As a developer I wouldn't touch game development with a 10 foot pole. And I doubt many developers would switch to gaming after they understand how it works, not only your company crunches you to no end with little to no time for retrospectives but literally any child of 10 or above can bash you via internet, even if they don't plan on buying the game.

(Edited: These toxic fans aren't the norm but they are the more vocal and their voice always reaches you because of how engagement algorithms work in social networks).
