Why is Sony leaning so heavily into horizon?
>Sequel just came out
>Vr game coming out
>mmo in the works
>TV show planned
Why do they have so much faith in this brand?

For the tv show and eventually movie.
California Company
Its supposed to be Sony's version of Zelda.
It’s called a forced meme
They've poured millions into its advertising, so it's an established brand.
A new game or new IP would mean starting from scratch with audiences and that's more risky.
Originality is dead and the people who don't care outnumber you.
Exec arrogance.
>Hmm this studio is doing everything right, let's invest in their game
>Well it was kind of mediocre, but they're doing everything right, let's invest again
>Well it was a failure, but they're doing everything right, let's invest again
Could the recipe be wrong? Nah let's follow it again.
Horizon didn't fail from an investors point of view though
They had to sell it in PS4 bundle packs though.
If the game doesn't matter why wouldn't Sony just bundle something that cost far less with console?
Because you're supposed to bundle consoles with good games, unless you want people to sell them immediately.
So people actually are buying the game then? The meme is that nobody actually wants to play Uncharted, horizon or good of war so don't has to bundle them
Stop phone posting bro.
>Why do they have so much faith in this brand?
Because it ticks all the checkboxes on what the modern average Sony fan wants out of a game
I wish Aloy was this cute.
She could've been cute
>They changed this into the widejawed freak
fricking hell
"she didn't look heroic enough in her original design"
Didn't some project lead say something to that effect?
Why did he think she looked more heroic with three chins?
probably a fat frick himself/herslf?
Being a concept artist for a modern AAA production sure must be fun.
>yes, we like your concept art, but now change everything about it
sounds like a dream come true
Horizon 2 is an excellent game, and I will never understand why fourchannelers hate it.
Nice graphics, boring gameplay, plot may as well read a book with how bad the pacing and writing is.
Maybe if you'd call a completely formulaic open world game a "good game".
It's a formula because it works. Nothing wrong with not taking risks as long as it's done competently.
I guess, but don't be surprised when your game gets zero awards.
Nobody actually cares.
>Nobody actually cares.
That's why they get plastered on goty editions each time, right ? Awards have always been great marketing tools. Same for cinema.
Hmmhum. Your game is still mediocre and boring.
ubishit by another name is still ubishit
But that’s also Breath of the wild
>fourchannelers
ESG The Game
Because the first Horizon sold 20 millions. That's why they keep pushing it.
They even forced Mihoyo to include her in Genshin to allow Crossplay.
Because Herman Hulst, The former head of the studio making Horizon, got promoted to the head of Sony’s European branch.
Sony is well aware that the games sell like shit but nobody can really tell Hulst to stop besides the shareholders. So it’s one Dutch homosexual’s personal vanity project really
It's simple. Hermen Hulst is the co-founder of Guerrilla.
He was the managing director of the studio before becoming the head of SIE Worldwide Studios.
What happens here is similar to what did Patrick Söderlund, who was the CEO of DICE and later the Executive VP of EA Worldwide Studios, overseeing all game production and imposing Frostbite on every game.
So the solution is simple, remove Hulst and PS would get a chance to get back part of their soul ditching Horizon.
because helmut horst or what the frick ever his name is was the guy who ran guerilla, and now he runs playstation.
its literally that simple.
