Rumor: Horizon: Zero Dawn delayed to early 2017
- Thread starter dmr87
- Start date
2 of the games arent from them though. But even then, the delay isnt surprising. Its a new IP from a dev who has no experience with the genre. They need all the time they can get.

I would understand if they actually don't want to rush their games, but there's no rushing here lol, most of their games are taking way too much time to come out.
if it's on PS3 it doesn't count?
More like an absolute nonsense point made by Colin.

I called this last E3 when it was shown. It was clear as day it was going to be delayed. It's an ambitious title
What does this mean? Yes in the context of E3 they won. Anyone will tell you that. I'll clue you in to something else. Your average consumer doesn't even really care. All the know is FFVIIR is coming and they are hyped. No one is going to retroactively go back and say "welp I'm not playing the game right now so they lost E3".
what does that even mean? how long do you think it should take to make a game like Horizon? are you a game developer?

At least they don't get cancelled like xbox one games

Was looking forward to this but understandable delay. This game looks ambitious. Would way rather see a delay than a compromised vision.
You do know that GG already release a game correct?
Microsoft aren't the only company that cancel projects.
It's still funded by them and those devs had to hit their timetables. Hell even No Mans Sky was delayed and for the better it seems.
The only game that took too long to come out is Uncharted 4 which was first revealed in 2013 and thats coming out in 2(?) weeks. Other games seem to take a year from announcement to release.
Disappointed but not shocked seeing as how little we have heard of it since E3 last year. It made a huge splash than nothing.
Well, if Persona 5 actually comes out this year (another game promised this year that we've heard nothing about for a while) that may get me to buy Persona instead if I'm not sick of No Man's Sky yet (or getting re interest in Fallout with mods on consoles coming out).

It makes for a good laugh though!
You have here a hugely ambitious IP developed by a studio with zero experience in the genre, with a targeted release date of 2016. Gets delayed like almost all other first party titles? Must be that filthy PS4 Neo!
A lot of people were expecting this to be delayed before there were even rumors of iterative consoles. We don't even know if Neo will release before Horizon!
I fully expect some people will stay furious with the Neo, even when they pre-order one like most of their enthusiast brethren here on GAF.

No mans sky was never delayed
Yup and that tells me it really only comes down to people being upset and salty that there is a version out there that people are playing that's better than there's. Even though there's runs just fine and looks damn good.

Nah, but I've seen other devs/publishers and they aren't messing up like this.
The first team yeah, this the second team game and they started in 2012.

The Amiga Brotherhood
In ~2.5 years we have what 12 high budget AAA Sony IPs, two which are remasters. Sony have not served up enough AAA goodness over this period IMHO. I'm not pleased about it as l bought PS4 for exclusives in particular titles made by Sony studios.
Bloodborne
Driveclub
Infamous Second Son
Killzone Shadow Fall
Knack
MLB The Show
The Last of Us Remastered
The Order: 1886
Ratchet & Clank
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection
Until Dawn
LittleBigPlanet 3
Apologies if i've missed any 'relesed' high budget titles off the list.
Wasn't it supposed to come out in the Spring? Maybe I am wrong.

A new IP..... a big open world RPG, from a studio that never made one before? Yeah, makes sense to take it easy, don't you think?
Games like Uncharted 4 and Horizon? Well, just look at them. They look amazing. Better than most of the stuff that already got announced. Make sense that these devs need a bit more time than others. We're not talking about some 'Ubisoft Assassins Creed 500+ employees' teams

Why would you buy a console before knowing what you will get
damn
True, it just seems that way because they've had a bunch of high profile cancellations recently.

They only gave 1 release date and that is june
different strokes and all but even take out the remasters and that's a pretty decent list IMO
The first team had a skeleton crew working on Horizon (after finishing KZ3 iirc) up to the launch of Shadow Fall in 2013 where everyone jumped on production. So in reality the game had a little over 2 years of actual development.
That wasn't a good point. For one thing, the Horizon you'll play on the PS4 is exactly the same game you would have played on it regardless of the existence of the Neo. Second, how much of an upgrade do you naysayers think the Neo is over the original model? You're acting like the PS4 is equivalent to minimum PC specs for a game and the Neo is going to make it Ultra High. It's not. The differences are going to be minimal. So funny that people think the PS4 versions are going to look like "shit" while the Neo version will be mind-blowing. There's a reason why it's not a full-fledged PS5. The changes aren't significant. It's basically a Slim model. They say the Neo will be sold alongside the PS4 and they're telling the truth. Just like the Slims were sold alongside the Phats...until the Phats were phased out. The Neo will eventually be the only SKU available. Don't think of it as a new console. Think of it like a Slim iteration.

Nobody should have been seriously expecting 2016 with how many delays this generation has been filled with.
I don't think Fable Legends and Phantom Dust count as "high profile". I mean, apparently Sony Santa Monica's cancelled new IP was far more costly.
to be totally fair, we really don't know either way

Every generation has delays

D'oh....
Oh well, if it's good in the end

TO be fair though. That was never officially announced and no one would have known otherwise if it wasn't for insider info.
Well, way back in 2014 Sean was saying it was going to come out in 2015. So .. at one point they had plans for it to be out last year. I'd say that is pretty delayed.

Actually it makes perfect sense. I've heard that every single Xbox version of a multiplat
"is shit" for more or less trivial differences. Stands to reason the the alleged differences between ps4 and neo would be as least as jarring if not more so. Thus, relegating ps4 versions to "shit".

At this point last gen, we were already getting sequels to the PS3's new first party IPs.
So TLG, FFVII and Horizon are never going to be produced?
jumping to a pretty big conclusion there
"Gonna be splendid on ps4k"
Paranoia sure, but i'm expecting it to run like shite on normal PS4. like maybe 20-25 fps. Last time I saw it was at gamescom last year and the demo was barely able to hold a stable framerate. So sure, demo and all that. But considering this is even more lush than games like bloodborne, I don't expect it to run super well
