Make it like monster hunter and I'm in

If this flops, don’t see how Herman survives

 

[Mayar]

I'm just going by most reports online calling it an "MMORPG"

They never made statements that it was an MMO, in all their interviews they indicated that it was a "multiplayer project", meaning it could be anything.

The leaked footage looked very much like an MMO to be fair (although, look at Horizon ZD alpha footage and the final game was very different)



Obviously pre-alpha so can't judge it yet but looks very MMO like to me, but we'll see

Of course. Gotta wait for the official announcement.

 

[cormack12]

Dude, how you gonna have time to play this, concord and arc raiders?

 

[Barakov]

I'm thinking I'm trusting the plan on this one.

 

[mckmas8808]

That's not how game development works buddy.

Horizon Online is the game that keeps people at the studio's trenches busy while Horizon III spends a couple of years in pre-production, just as any other AAA game. If Horizon Online weren't in the works, that wouldn't have made Horizon III come out any earlier than 2027 either. You have to look no further than to Sucker Punch - a one-project-at-a-time studio - to know that Sony-style open-world AAA games take a minimum of five years to get made no matter what.

Are we sure that many Guerilla devs are even making this game?

 

[bender]

I'll wait for Lego Horizon Online.

 

[th4tguy]

Can we make this the next Concord?

 

[XXL]

Here my idea for this to be successful.

- Make it a PC exclusive
- Make it set in China
- Make it using Godot

Sales will be through the fucking roof.

 

[Humdinger]

I've got no interest in the game, but I hope for Sony's sake that the developers have MP experience, rather than forcing an SP-focused team to do it.

 

[Imtjnotu]

We still dont have Horizon Kart, Horizon Party etc.

 

[Represent.]

Another miserable flop incoming. Absolutely no one is excited for this (except for midnightAI , potentially) . Herman should be fired honestly. Completely fucking out of touch.

 

[adamsapple]

I'll wait for Lego Horizon Online.

Lego Horizon Online Part 1 Remastered.

 

[bender]

Lego Horizon Online Part 1 Remastered.

You know Alloy, we really are the Lego of us.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

lmao they cannot stop making games that literally nobody asked for

next we'll see a gaas Horizon kart racer

I could be (even if I'm not really into MMOs), but we haven't seen it yet, hard to get excited about something we haven't yet seen.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Hope it flops.

Yes let's hope for Guerrilla to close down and more hundreds of people to be fired because a game you have never seen, played, etc... needs to flop.

Eh? Nobody asks for a majority of new games, if Naughty Dog for example suddenly announces they are making a game set in the Reservoir Dogs universe and the game is being directed by Tarantino himself instead of Druckmann, nobody asked for it, doesn't mean it won't be awesome.

(May be a bad example, but you get my point)

Heh, fair

Me in 2025:

I think they would actually be quite right...

Spoiler

 

[aclar00]

I'm just picturing everyone flying around on Sunwings.
Or is that going to cost extra?

$49.95

 

[Generic]

Hope this is good, open-world MMO with robo dinos has a lot of potential.

This was one of the first big PlayStation GAAS inititiative games from PlayStation. They hired the Rainbow Six Siege director Simon Larouche back in 2018.

Horizon Multiplayer Game "Horizon Online" Could Arrive in 2025 Per Job Listing

According to a job listing, Sony's Horizon Online, a multiplayer game from Guerrilla Games, could be targeting a launch in 2025.

mp1st.com

"While details on Horizon Online remain scarce, it is known that Guerrilla Games, the studio behind the Horizon series, is working on a multiplayer project set in the Horizon universe — a news piece we broke alongside the existence of the Horizon Zero Dawn remaster. This aligns with Sony’s broader strategy of expanding into the live-service multiplayer game space, something the company has heavily invested in recently.

A recent job posting by Guerrilla Games revealed that the studio is looking for a “Release QA Intern,” who will play a crucial role in the pre-launch testing phase of an “online project.” The listing notes that the intern will help ensure the game is ready for launch in the “first half of 2025,” which signals that final testing for Horizon Online could begin soon."

While I appreciate people that Horizon is getting way too much attention, the universe itself could be really interesting AND originally it was envisioned to be much more like Monster Hunter with the oversized weapons, using machine parts to craft armour and weapons etc.

SO if Horizon is anything like MonHun Im lowkey hyped to see how it is at the very least.

 

[firegamer273]

how about focus on single player games?

 

[Umbral]

Horizon: Forbidden West, Horizon: Call of the Mountain, Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered, Horizon: Lego Adventures, and now Horizon: Online.

Can it out-flop Concord? I hope so. The Horizon world should have been at most 2 games. I think we didn’t even need Forbidden West. I’m sick of even seeing the word Horizon.

 

[Radical_3d]

Oh. So this is why this mf hasn’t resigned yet. He’s waiting on this bet…

 

[nnytk]

Massive overhaul in combat is needed, especially melee. But I don't see how it is not eventually a success. Guerilla is a really talented studio. It may take a couple years after launch to find it, but Sony will give this game numerous chances. Like what Microsoft did for Sea of Thieves

I hope it succeeds tbh. Sony needs successes, we all want it to thrive. Could be good to also really move on from the disaster that was Concord.

 

[mansoor1980]

You wouldn't get it

really evil
would make a great profile pic

 

[pasterpl]

let see how Sony is going to fuck this up.

They have started with the right foundations:

They hired the Rainbow Six Siege director Simon Larouche back in 2018

I can see this already; Horizon Siege fps sim shooter /s

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Who wants that…

If it's it good, I'll play it.

I like the Horizon universe.

Not surprising to see many Gaffers disliking it, most are 50+yo dinosaurs stuck in nostalgia.

i tried finishing the first game i could not. Second game is worst in the series. This is the least favorite game series from playstation for me.

I hope this will be a huge success. I really do.

 

[lh032]

its going to DOA, nobody gives a shit about horizon franchise anymore.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

And the ones crying about not having enough Astro Bots.

 

[KungFucius]

So, raise your hands, those who wanted this game to be developed. And explain why you need it. I'm just curious to hear...

I wanted this game to be developed and launched because I want Sony to see that even a good selling franchise can fail as an online game and that this will make them go back in their lane which is to bring good single player games to market instead of wasting hundreds of millions chasing the super-rare GaaS hit.

 

[Woopah]

A Monster Hunter style game in the Horizon universe makes a lot of sense to me.

As others have said they would need to flesh out the melee combat, but all the ingredients are there for something fun.

 

[Radical_3d]

What a load of BS. Sony is having more profits than with all the other PS combined even if the generation would stop now. Sony needs to learn a lesson of humility so we can have great variated games again.

That's not just on Sony though, Sony has always relied on third party to fill the voids in variety, Sony stick to what they do best. They are now arguably trying to expand that by creating GaaS games and people are now telling them to stop doing that and get back to single player games again, so which is it?

Sony needs variety of ideas as in the PS3 era. Not variety as in single player and multiplayer. PS4 generation of whoops, all cinematic games is a disgrace.

Again, that's not just on Sony, the only genre Sony seems to ignore now (regrettably) is first person shooters, but there are loads of them by third parties. Their single player narrative games are the big sellers, and Astro shows they can still have variety (and Helldivers 2, and Stellar Blade etc. from second party studios as they call then)

 

[Luipadre]

Horizon remasters, horizon lego, horizon online... fuck off. They made me hate both horizon and tlou IP this gen. Just move the fuck on
