Oh man, what a jaw-dropping reveal that will be. LOL

People who have a sour taste in their mouth after that last SoP will surely not be too thrilled by this announcement, either. Man Sony just can't win right now.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I really don't understand..... But tbh, it might end up being better than forbidden west.

 

[GymWolf]

What do you usually do in lego games?

I'm trying to understand how much fucks to give about the game.

 

[Fabieter]

I don't understand. Is Horizon really such a massive IP that it can get a Lego crossover game?

Its hulst baby so he pays whatever to get more horizon.

 

[midnightAI]

I am seriously hoping it's Guerrilla developing this.

The hate for Horizon here is weird.

Herman trying really hard to make Aloy a star

yep, sadly aloy will never be as popular as mario, hes trying too hard here.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Much less Mario, it won't even reach God of War. I don't know why though as they are pushing her really really hard but it does not get enough community response.

Think I haven't played one of those, but afaik it's some easy puzzles, easy platforming, and some simple combat.

Gameplay wise it's nothing mindblowing, the games are cool mostly for how charming they are.

Not interested then.

Maybe an horizon lego is gonna be more focused on combat...

Horizon takes itself pretty seriously most of the time, so some of the comedy bits could be hilarious.

 

[TheRedRiders]

Lego Horizon with Path Tracing - exclusive PS5 Pro launch title, you heard it here first folks.

Man Sony just can't win right now.

They have a GOTY contender slated for September.

 

[eerik9000]

I appreciate that Sony is putting a bit of effort into making more family/kids-friendly games with this and Astro Bot. One of their competitors only complains how console gaming is shrinking and it is impossible to expand the userbase, as if there aren't new people being born every single second.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

A LEGO version of a arguably mediocre game...

And even if this is fun, with personality and creativity, something the previous games are arguably devoid of:

If you played them, and hold the opinion that they are mediocre (No diss if you don't), you will be bummed that it took two games and one DLC, to get something with some actual personality in it.

And if it will be your first Horizon, the ones you will play afterwards will be, again, arguably mediocre.

 

[Dazraell]

They have a GOTY contender slated for September.

You're referring to Astro Bot? At first I thought of saying that while I wish this game the best and I'm actually excited for it, I wouldn't see it among nominees. But when I started considering which games could be possible contenders, you do have a point, I guess

I don't understand. Is Horizon really such a massive IP that it can get a Lego crossover game?

I sometimes feel like this place is an alternate universe for some franchises/games:

As of April 16, 2023, the Horizon franchise has sold through more than 32.7 million units worldwide

 

[Borowski_1]

fuck horizon, they killed killzone for that woke shit, fuck sony, fuck guerrilla and fuck Aloy.

Preach

More bore fest and more fucking Aloy

Bring back Killzone

Who wants a Horizon Lego game ?

Who wants a Horizon Lego game ?

Herman Hulst.

 

[tmlDan]

What do you usually do in lego games?

I'm trying to understand how much fucks to give about the game.

you build lego and fight enemies, you also have a build manual where you build different objects for combat or platforming.

I don't really like them but they're not bad. A couple of my friends love playing them with their kids

 

[GHG]

Who wants a Horizon Lego game ?

Typically it's children that want the Lego games.

As long as they've outsourced this and aren't wasting internal resources on a Lego horizon game then:

It's certainly not for me and I won't be buying it.

 

[Bungie]

Better off adding this to Fortnite.

 

[Balducci30]

Never enjoyed what little of the Lego games I’ve played - hopefully it uses Decima engine tho

 

[IDKFA]

I sometimes feel like this place is an alternate universe for some franchises/games:

Is it on the same level as Marvel, DC, Lord of the Rings or Jurassic Park? No. Nowhere close. That's the point I'm getting at.

 

[Deft Beck]

Aloy is to Herman Hulst is like Lightning was to Motomu Toriyama.

 

[GHG]

Is it on the same level as Marvel, DC, Lord of the Rings or Jurassic Park? No. Nowhere close. That's the point I'm getting at.

There's no rule that states it needs to be in order for that sort of partnership to happen.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Theres certainly an audience for all the LEGO games and they've all been good from what I heard, but it aint for me. Summer Games seems like a bore fest based on all the info so far. What a shit year.

 

[tommib]

I really don't understand..... But tbh, it might end up being better than forbidden west.

That’s a low bar.

 

[Doom85]

Is it on the same level as Marvel, DC, Lord of the Rings or Jurassic Park? No. Nowhere close. That's the point I'm getting at.

They made a LEGO game for the LEGO Ninjago movie despite the film only making $120 million at the box office. Yes, I know it’s already a LEGO property to begin with, but still, if they can make a LEGO game for a property even more niche, I’m not surprised at LEGO Horizon being a thing.

 

[Schmendrick]

 

[tomato shrub]

I can't stand Horizon for how pretentious it is, so maybe I'll actually like this one. Your robot dinosaur game should not be a single bit more serious than something like Bayonetta.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Gross

 

[FoxMcChief]

fuck horizon, they killed killzone for that woke shit, fuck sony, fuck guerrilla and fuck Aloy.

Amen brother.

 

[Midn1ght]

Can't wait.

 

[Little Chicken]

Where the fuck is LEGO Demon's Souls? I would play that.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Can't wait.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

Give the fucking Lego license to Media Molecule so they can do something new and creative with it. Literally nobody asked for a fucking Chips Aloy Lego game, and I say this as someone who loved the first Horizon and spent thousands on Lego for me and my kid.

 

[FoxMcChief]

[tommib]

Where the fuck is LEGO Demon's Souls? I would play that.

This exists, though:

 

[kaizenkko]

You guys are missing the point: why do a press conference about a LEGO game? There's no sense. lol

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Can't wait.

 

[Topher]

I get the feeling Hulst is trying to make Aloy the face of PlayStation. Just doesn't work though.

 

[Deerock71]

This might be what Al Gore was thinking about when he created the internet.

 

[zapper]

I sometimes feel like this place is an alternate universe for some franchises/games:

they seem bignumbers, then if you check carefully you'll see that the first one sold over 24 million copies, 75% of the total. Maybe it's because this Lego or the remake/remastered of Zero Dawn were projects started some time ago but the potential of the series almost collapsed with the second chapter which hasn't reached 10 million to date (I think).

horizon imo will go down in history as one of the biggest flashes in the pan of the ps brands, a lot of wasted resources and time (apart from decima engine which is the only superlative thing connected to horizon/guerrilla)

 

[Topher]

I sometimes feel like this place is an alternate universe for some franchises/games:

Holy shit. I had no idea it sold that well

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

I'm guessing you guys don't like Lego games?

I don't but my gf loves them so she'll be overwhelmed if true!

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

They really insist on running this IP into the ground. The first game was really fun, I burned out completely on the second one in the middle of it. While it is pretty cool on the surface (Post Apocalyptic Robot Dinosaurs!) they just kind of fumbled in making interesting human characters or a story. Maybe I'm completely off base there, but definitely don't get the sense people are super hungry for more world building of this IP.

All that said, a LEGO game is way more interesting to me than Horizon 3. I wish they just made that and let GG do something else.

 

[Sephimoth]

lol what is happening to gaming
