Support NeoGAF

[Generic]

He says that but he probably won't play the game.

 

[Durin]

This...actually looks alright.

My only worry is the same "will it have predatory monetization?" point, but gameplay looks fun, and way more fluid than I thought it would be.

 

[Sevyne]

Phones have come a crazy long way in the last few years. The hardware is overkill most of the time.

I wonder if it will come to Apple TVs so you can use a ps5 controller to play?

I think they'd be crazy to not have native controller support. Many of these games now have it, and the ones that don't people find a way.

 

[BennyBlanco]

That thing on the right... jesus... I dont want to even speculate what the fuck that is. You need to be mentally ill to put that in a videogame. The comparisons are painful.

Looks like a games awards presenter

 

[Kurimao]

No fat Alloy means

 

[MayauMiao]

I'm guessing the character on the right a tribe from California.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Because as much as NeoGAF desperately wants you to believe it, Sony is not an agenda-driven company.

 

[manfestival]

Game sure looks nice but the addition of mobile is concerning to me

 

[Dorfdad]

You haven't been keeping up at all with mobile advancements have you? Visually this game is not at all surprising to those of us who know what phones are capable of these days. Even my outdated Oneplus 12 can probably run this game smoothly.

Hell, I can play most of my Steam library on my phone, and that's natively, not streaming.

Your right and haven't I'll have to see how that's going, but will it be a full game or a gotcha gimmick?

Oh it'll 1000% be some gatcha game. The question is "how bad will that monetization be?"

If they're going to charge for cosmetics that's fine. If it's for player power then it starts to suck, unless they do like Warframe where everything is endlessly grindable and not locked by some crap stamina system and weekly lockouts.

Currently Destiny Rising is pretty terrible with its monetization. So bad that once you've spent a ton to get a bunch of characters and boost them, they reward you by charging you again to unlock the rewards for boosting them.

The biggest problem with most f2p is actually later in their lifecycle when they start adding like 20 different currencies. It gets ugly and scummy as hell.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Looks to be Horizon Monster Hunter. Probably has gacha and a hyperfocus on Dailies and Weeklies.

Content is probably low.

 

[nial]

Yes, not being agenda-driven goes both ways.

 

[Queso de Grande]

Are you expected to have a controller for mobile devices? Would it be fun with a controller?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Why is Alan Harper in an Horizon videogame?

 

[LordOcidax]

Damn, i almost missed this announcement… Looks amazing, and Sony skipped launching their IPs day on day PS5/PC and go PC exclusive, never expected that .

your shitting me lol. I just download this and started playing an hour ago and its pretty damn good like a light Destiny, so I probably should just stop now!

It's not a PC exclusive. It's a mobile game that is also available on PC through NCSoft's (the game's publisher, btw) Android emulator, so not even a native version there.

 

[DavidGzz]

Valve should have this title in their Steam Box launch trailer.

 

[Fake]

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Never liked Horizon and still don't but this looks better than the actual Horizon including a better main character so props for that at least.

 

[th4tguy]

So I'll be able to play the next Horizon on Valves console before Sonys?

The gameplay is fine. I'm playing it, but be careful not to fall into a money trap with it. They try to get you on everything.

can it be played without it? or do you end up level capped and behind??

 

[Sevyne]

Can play without spending, but it does make any endgame a pain in the ass. The content is always heavily in favor of the current banner character.

MMO Mobile? Not even on PS5? Don't give a single shit about this. May as well be live service GAAS trash.
