Guerrilla Studios New Game - Horizon Hunters Gathering

While this game doesn't look all that great. The mainline Horizon games are way better than Killzone. Now you might prefer Killzone but pretty much every metric suggest people prefer Horizon.
Every metric shows it's the first game that skewed numbers with bundles and PS+ giveaways. And not a single soul remembers those games, while Killzone 2&3 are legendary.
 
Who do you guys think Sony expects to play this? The Killzone/Horizon audience? Fortnite audience? ARC? I just don't see where it expects to pull players from. Too fruity and try-hard for Killzone fans, not sticky enough for the flavor of the month / E-sports crowd.

Seems like the usual corporate attempt to appeal to everyone (that ends up appealing to no one).

"Horizon Fans will play this because it's Horizon!!!, and Monster Hunters fans will play it because it's sort of like Monster Hunter!!! And Fortnite players will play it because it has cartoony visuals and a battle royale style enclosing circle!!! And Overwatch/Marvel Rivals/LOL fans will play it because we have wacky hero characters with unique skills for them to pick!!!!".

Killzone in 2026 would be a breath of fresh air compared to another horizon mainline entry let's be real. It's so done now. Open world third person games have had their time. Horizon was never a standout either. Well made etc don't get me wrong.

None of the games sold over 3 million. Both Horizon games sold more then that. What's your argument here that Killzone really sales better but Sony just wants to make less money?

Personally I'm tired of FPS SP games so it wouldn't be a breath of fresh air to me. I love the Horizon games and I want to see them finish the story. After that the studio can work on whatever they want.

I will not be the least bit shocked if they have made this sound more popular than it is because of bundles and PS+. I literally do not know anyone (in real life) who played it. And that includes me and my kids. We have the VR pack-in and the original game via PS+ with the $10 PS5 upgrade. I literally spent the money for the upgrade because it seemed like a good deal. But none of us have actually bothered with it.

Now that's a Venn diagram that on one hand is a CEO's wet dream and on the other hand it doesn't exist! 😂😂😂

What about this looks good to you?

You don't have the champion every live service game. Some of them are shit.
Tbf, it seems that he primarily champions Sony Live Service games.

He doesn't seem to be as passionate about the other games in the OmegaGenre like Arc Riders, Tarkov and the like. Nor did he seem to put his beliefs behind Highguard, but was All-In on Concord...lol
 
Hunter gathering is the least ugly game of the Sony GAAS push. It looks like if any of those is going to stick maybe is this one. Hopefully it fails miserably nevertheless
 
What IS this game. Like a monster hunter clone? With heroes? Overwatch x Monster Hunter?

Ugg....Yikes......some girls just pull off thick better. Invincible spoilers:

Basically all that with an added hint of Elden Ring Nightreign according to the mechanics and all.

I'm happy for those that are excited, but yeah, this does nothing for me. But then again this IP has never done one thing for me, period. I just really can't help but imagine this not doing that well. But then again, I could be wrong, maybe there's more love for the IP than I realize.
 
It looks better and better each time they show it...


I imagine there are plenty of people at GG and Sony who know this is shit. It's gotta tough to go along with it in meetings and whatnot. *slow clapping* oh wow. the pink and purple sky looks great. fantastic idea ladies! This is what our gamers want in a tentpole release
