Rumor: Horizon: Zero Dawn delayed to early 2017

Because of how easy the cell was to work with, surely, and how much more difficult it is to work with the PS4's exotic PC-esque architecture in comparison.

Because AAA games need to be bigger and better with every iteration, especially on new hardware.

Fortunately for your argument, we're like usual dismissing smaller titles.

And I think both Sony and Microsoft have less studios now than they did last generation? That would obviously also affect how many titles they can release.

Yes thank you and if there is one little problem people run to "message boards " and freak out so no wonder why they want to take the time on a game
 
Every time I hear of a delay and the feeling of disappointment starts to come to me, I think of the Miyamoto quote and come to realize that the Devs and Pubs are actually doing us a favor giving the game more time and money (Up to a certain extent, of course).

It will only be shit if they (or any other games) start putting content specific for this new PS4. If it's the same game with a little graphical difference I don't see how it'll be "shit". I mean as a console owner, I'm used to PC gamers playing the same game with better graphics, it doesn't make any of them "shit" to me.

More than graphics (and really, if the game had prettier graphics it would already be bullshit as it would undermine the purchase of early adopters), i'm more concerned about performance. Seeing how poorly first party devs optimize for the current console, with barely obtaining stable 30 in most cases, and looking at how little devs care about that.

I think the main worry is not that the NEO version is just prettier. It's that first party devs who work closely with sony will favour the NEO version to push it, at the detriment of the classic one who might run with poor performance, just at a lower "acceptable" threshhold so it's considered playable

Like the E3 trailer?

So choppy and frame drops everwhere ?
 
And the PS4K version?

Come on man. You know full well what we're saying.

Are you implying what I think you are? Sure, Horizon looks amazing for a PS4 game, but would look somewhat underwhelming running on a console 2.3x as powerful GPU-wise.

Remember the supposed Shadow Fall downgrade? Don't want to look silly like those people, right?

I'd be in the dick
And the PS4K version?

Come on man. You know full well what we're saying.
The PS4k will look better than the E3 trailer, which was already fucking gorgeous.

Everyone wins. Guerrilla has always been solid in terms of performance and visuals. That won't change now.
 
I have a gaming PC so I only care about exclusives I'm interested in that are console only.

So far the only games on the PS4 that have fit that definition are Bloodborne, Nights of Azure, and Until Dawn.

Okay well they released other games, sorry you don't like them. R&C, Driveclub, Uncharted in a month, Horizon is still coming out a few months later than anticipated. This year is still Persona 5, TLG, Alienation, I can't believe people still try to push this no games narrative.

Third-party exclusives aren't good unless there's a good reason why it couldn't be on another system other than money.

Fair enough but the point stands, if you are trying to justify the purchase, whether its 3rd party exclusive or first party, from the consumer stand point, its a good thing for that base. They have games that are justifying the system.

And in a lot of cases, they are exclusive for good reason.
 
Splendid on Ps4k, no doubt.

And on PS4?

Absolute garbage of course.

If you're interested in Horizon, Sony wants you to buy a PS4 Neo. That way they lose potentially millions in software sales, lose even more consumer trust and gain next to nothing on hardware sales margins.

Not surprising it's delay but definitely disappointing. This game looks amazing and they should take all the time they need.

How could that have flown so clean over your head?

I'm talking about the upgrade the game will get on PS4k. SMH

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.
High profile aka in the public eye. SSM's game was never shown off to us and didn't get a fancy E3 trailer. Fable Legends was touted as one of the pillars of MS's "greatest lineup in Xbox history" and was part of that intro montage that they used twice. Not to mention it was in the hands of people via beta.

There was also the untitled game Black Tusk studios was working on which again a trailer was shown off for, but got cancelled.

MS's cancellations were just much more apparent and public than any other company's have been recently. That's my point.

The Last Guardian to take Horizon's place as the big Sony holiday title confirmed.
But with 95% less marketing, because not open world and robot dinossaurs obviously

Not sure if joke post or if you're actually serious.

...is eventually good!!!

Literally BILL IONS. of great games to play before then, my video game brethren and bretherine!
My wallet has, after being at ground zero of a cataclysmic explosion of psychic energy at the center of Tokyo, become sentient and now flexes opens and closed on its own when laid on a flat surface, as if it were prostrating itself before you, praising you with gratitude, GUERRILLA gaaaammmesss.
every last ONE OF US should be happy for this glorious DELAY, given to us by the almighty and honorable sister GUERRILLAS IN THE MIST gaaaammmmeeess!
2016 was so chock full of games, I beat my dog — please fogiveth me, lord Keighly, and praise be to GUERRILLAS IN THE MIST gaaaammmmeeess! 🙌🙌🙌🙌👅🌝🌝🌝🌝💦💦
My backlog 💞 thanks yoooou,💞GUERRILLAS IN THAT venerable MIST gaaaammmmeeess GOMENASAI, HARADA-SEMPAI for DOUBTING STREE overLORDE! 💯💯💦💦💦
I'll now have time to finish Ratchet Mess and Skank-desu's 💯ELITE💯 challenge mode, which is the same experience as Horizon: Zero LAWD, and will completely negate the negative aspects of this delay.
Take all the time you need to make the game 💦💦good cummies💦💦, GUERRILLAS IN THAT THERE venerable honorable gomenesai MIST gaaaammmmeeess .
Also gives me time to beat reflect on the JESUSness that is the 💯⬆️Los Killzonòs ⬆️💯 games that have already been released, and since they are so ~great~, my desire for this RELATED, and SIMILAR game can be satiated by replaying the ones I have played, and playing the ones I'VE MISSED!!!!! ^3^

You never know! Maybe it was the PS4K version all along! Even with the frame drops and stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah man. Like I said above Sony will intentionally sabotage their first party releases on PS4, to force the PS4 Neo on consumers.

Sounds like brilliant business.

Boooo.

I'm not actually upset, though. There's so much to play this year. I've waited for games like Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian, so I could wait a bit longer for a game that was announced last year.
