As long as i can make my character look like this, im in!!

 

[Beer Baelly]

Ill bet the flying mounts will be a lot faster.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Looks like we’re never going to see another Killzone

 

[tmlDan]

Yuck. I'm a fan of Horizon (more the first game than the second) and don't like this idea. I dislike MMORPGs. I'd rather they put their efforts elsewhere.

efforts? it's outsourced to NC soft it's not taking up their resources.

 

[Kokoloko85]

I dont know the developer but Horizon Lore and world fits an MMO. Especially if it can keep/ adapt the combat, maybe a little like Monster Hunter.
No brainer for the online games they have planned

 

[SmokedMeat]

Wait…NC Soft?

I’m guessing this will be ftp with microtransactions.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Is this Ellioy?

 

[Kokoloko85]

I don't think the world is interesting enough for an MMORPG but they are welcome to convince me wrong.

Tribes,States, Robot dinosaurs, parties to defeat said dinosaurs. Rival Human gangs. The world and lore is more for MMO than alot of MMO’s out there. Could easily be like Monster Hunter but more action combat. And its new. We have a million medieval fantasy based mmo’s or anime ones.

Horizon is honestly not that good of an IP as much Sony is focusing on it.

Definitely a to each their own scenario. Apparently a lot of people really love or dig the IP, but I personally don't care for it whatsoever. I've tried playing it, but in the end I just felt like, "Other games are doing this, have done this, and do it better."

Between the VR game, the rumored remaster, and this. I'm honestly kind of shocked.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I think it could be ok. They did guild wars, well, sorta

 

[Banjo64]

I only care about this world because I get to stare at Aloy’s dumb pretty arse.

 

[Swift_Star]

Makes a lot of sense. It can be a Monster Hunter like.

 

[Twinblade]

Sony, Just bring back Killzone, MAG and Socom... thanks.

 

[Flutta]

HORIZON? lmao Sony please that IP is in decline. HFW is utter garbage from head to toe. Do us all a favour and bin it.
Make a new IP instead.

 

[RoboFu]

why not just use sony online.... oh yeah...

 

[Flutta]

Sony, Just bring back Killzone, MAG and Socom... thanks.

I second this.
Sony be like naaaah we want to make more of this ”STroNg WaMen NeEds No mAn” type games.

 

[Fbh]

I liked Zero Dawn, haven't played Forbidden West. But is Horizon really THAT popular?
Sony seems to be going all in on it being their new prime franchise. Horizon 2, Horizon VR, Horizon TV Show, Horizon 1 Remake, Horizon MMO, Horizon Online (form that earlier leak, not sure if it's the same as the MMO).

Anyway, I've zero interest in an MMO. They could at least make a Monster Hunter clone or something

 

[HTK]

Not a fan of Horizon and really wish Sony would try a new IP. I need this shit to fail lol

A MMORPG will let you play as a buffed bearded and hairy man, don’t worry.

Well, I'd rather they put their money and initiative behind something else, then.

Surprised this is the first thread on the topic, I’ve seen it making the rounds on twitter all day.

On topic: Can’t say I’m interested personally.

It was already rumoured in the supposed Horizon ZD remaster leak too. Nobody even noticed though because they were busy bitching about a remaster.

 

[Valonquar]

NCSOFT - Tell me the game servers will be shut down within 2 years without telling me the servers will be shut down within 2 years.

 

[MScarpa]

Going to milk these franchises like Disney did to SW.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Going to milk these franchises like Disney did to SW.

I think Horizon may be a bit overexposed right now, between this, the new game, the sales on the old game, the PS5 bundle, the SVR game and bundle, the rumored mobile games.

 

[Heisenberg007]

People people people.

Multiplayer doesn't rely on IP.

Crazy hearing people talk like they aren't sure the Horizon name is big enough. It's big enough.

Yeah, the first one sold 20M+ copies. The second one will likely match that number, and the co-op/MP might just exceed that in terms of player count.

Horizon is big enough.

 

[levyjl1988]

This sounds like a bad idea. I don't think it will succeed at all and garner that population, especially with the IP, it's not Pokemon level of enthusiasm. People on PS prefer single-player experiences with slight MP like Elden Ring or CoD quick-play matches.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

People on PS prefer single-player experiences with slight MP like Elden Ring or CoD quick-play matches.

False.

Multiplayer is the largest sector for PlayStation and that's with almost zero multiplayer investment from Sony.

The media echo chamber is slanting perspectives.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

This is surely much better than any in-house developed EverQuest game could've been

 

[Trunim]

It feels like Sony is trying to force this IP on the players. The whole robot dino thing got old after the first game.

On the other hand, this series is 10x more successful than the nearly 10 years of Killzone the same studio was making. Sony probably doesn't want to risk another series with them if they can still get some clout from this one.

No my dude.

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

Totally forgot The Forbidden West came out.

 

[Gamerdude123]

I´d rather see a Bloodborne MMORPG.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Totally forgot The Forbidden West came out.

They need to overhaul the design philosophy 180° for the next one. And hire new team of competent writers.

 

[semiconscious]

Horizon is honestly not that good of an IP as much Sony is focusing on it.

agree. while i love the story of zero dawn, the world of horizon itself is all about the menagerie of creatures. period. everything else about horizon - the geography, the fashion, the factions, has all been done multiple times, & equally as well...

 

[PerfectDark]

Sony made Star Wars Galaxies the best MMO ever made despite all the negetivity.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

I´d rather see a Bloodborne MMORPG.

You're not even going to get a port on the PS5 at this rate.

 

[Fuz]

NCSoft.

Thank god I don't care for Horizon.
