I really want to see them doing something other than God of War. They really need to look at what Naughty Dog did when they started a new IP with similar gameplay and really knocked it out of the park with The Last of Us.
They are a heck of a studio that is too good to only do God of War imo.
Totally. Xenoblade X was a dream in that regard.I will take two similar dino/futuristic games vs the 100 military shooters that are released every year. Every time.
Yes I agree, ND and TLOU is the perfect example. Not much excited for the next Nordic GoW even if the change of setting is welcome.
Hi, OP here. Bumping this because.....

Sony is too cautious this gen. Cancelling games and shutting down studios left and right. they are making a hundreds of millions from PS+ subs alone. Why not take some risks and take a loss on a game every now and then>?
Oh so it was similar to Dinos but not actually Dinos.

I don't actually see any art from the project on his site: http://www.eriksanjuanart.com/
If the game is not coming together, pushing it through is not a "risk", it's stupid. Stop thinking every game could be great based on an elevator pitch.
This game was $100 million deep. They must have had a good reason for cancelling it.Really feels like Sony took way more risks under Kaz Hirai and Ken Kutaragi than Andrew House. I've never seen them so trigger happy in laying off staff than these last few years.
Disappointing. I guess with HZD Sony didn't see the need.
I would still rather take that chance than play yet another God of War game.
not every game needs to be a great game. some of my favorite PS2 and PS3 games were B games.
I refuse to believe a talented team like Santa Monica would've created a total stinker right after making God of War 3.
Destiny and Horizon's release is nearly three years apart. How is that a tight spot?Sounds like it was a possible mix of Destiny and Horizon...
If true, that put SSM in a tight spot unfortunately...
I wish this game didn't get cancelled :/

Horizon's all we got other than Ark.Why all dinosaur games getting canceled? We need more games with dinosaur. Is ark any good?
Nothing with dinosaurs should be cancelled.

http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/07...ke-money-but-sony-will-always-support-talent/Its a hit-driven business. We look at our financial results of the titles, and probably three or four out of ten make money, and maybe one or two make all the money to cover the cost of the others titles. So we have to be able to maintain that hit ratio at a certain level to be able to continue in the business, so we always try to find out and support and help grow the talent. Thats the most important work that I believe myself and some of my management team at worldwide studios are doing.
There. There it's ok Sony are the true villans not even allowing the project to be revealed. Sad!.Aw, looks like Sony cancels games too
Lmmfao.Aw, looks like Sony cancels games too
