Sounds interesting, Cant wait for The reveal! :)

JoGam3735d ago

I'm loving the whole social thing. FYI, I'm not one of those guys who hated the social aspects of any console. I always felt social is the future. One day EVERYTHING will be connected.

Mikelarry3735d ago (Edited 3735d ago )

don't mind social just as long as its not shoehorned into the experience. also why cant we have both types of game play like what destiny is doing as sometimes i just want to game alone without needing to have a couple of friends join my party just to play or enjoy my game

JoGam3735d ago (Edited 3735d ago )

@ Mikelarry...Agreed and we can have both gameplay like Destiny. Social doesn't have to mean always connected 24 hours a day however can be connected at will. Like if you want to be connect all day then fine however options to disconnect.

UltraNova3734d ago (Edited 3734d ago )

Call me old school but I hate this social/always connected BS...are you so willing are to abandon actual person to person social interaction by imprisoning yourselves in the web via a screen?

Dont get me wrong if its your kind of thing go right ahead but I dont have to like or participate in the death of Single player and Real social interaction.

JoGam3734d ago

Well keep in mind everything connected doesn't have to mean always connected.

as long as it's not always online i'm good with online and social features being the focus. if not then meh, no reason for games to require a constant connection, unless it's a mulitplayer oriented game like Titan Fall/Battlefield/etc.

kaiserfranz3735d ago

Well yes, it's likely that it would be a multiplayer oriented game if it's always online.

dodgemoose3735d ago (Edited 3735d ago )

What's so wrong with a constant connection required for online? It's not like you can play it without it.

Edit: @blue_cheese

papashango3735d ago

social oriented usually means always online....

XiSasukeUchiha3735d ago

Me and Nee-san are excited for this!

kaiserfranz3735d ago

Most likely. Although, probably more like Destiny than your usual MMORPG

Activemessiah3735d ago

aaand just like that you lost me.

WeAreLegion3735d ago

Linchpin, you have to get out there and meet new people at some point. Not all games with social aspects are evil.

Dante813735d ago

To meet new people you have to get out of your house first. This isn't what I consider "meeting" new people.

Activemessiah3735d ago

Gaming is a break from socialising since my job is about that... so I need time away from people.

Activemessiah3735d ago

BTW, Demon Hunter are awesome \m/

AngelicIceDiamond3735d ago

For focusing on having online social aspects?

If you don't like that kind of thing then that's fine. But you unfairly passing on a game we know nothing about.

I'd say wait till E3 to see what we're dealing first at the very least.

-Foxtrot3735d ago (Edited 3735d ago )

It's not that but with WatchDogs, The Crew, Destiny, H1Z1, Fable Legends, Deep Down etc all focusing on social and online features it just feels like it will end up becoming a trend where single player games or even multiplayer games with single player campaigns will have this whole social aspect shoved down our throat in the single player campaign.

Then you have the fact this new approach will most likely come with Microtranscations and it will end up getting bigger, making more devs take part in it.

vlashyr3735d ago

Why are you so afraid of "online" and "multiplayer"? Open your mind! ;)

Guerrilla Games' Multiplayer Horizon Game Could Be Named "Hunters Gathering," Teases Leak

Guerrilla Games' upcoming multiplayer Horizon title could be dubbed "Hunters Gathering," according to a new leak.

Jin_Sakai219d ago (Edited 219d ago )

I wish PlayStation Studios would just stick to what they do best, making great single player games.

Outside_ofthe_Box219d ago

The core gameplay of Horizon is really good, so this is one of the few I can see working out. Also GG does have one of the greatest multiplayer games ever made in Killzone 2 under their belt so MP isn't too far off with what GG does best.

SyntheticForm219d ago

Hell, I enjoyed Shadowfall's MP thoroughly even though it had issues. Guerrilla have delivered solid multiplayer experiences.

Cacabunga218d ago

Oh boy. No idea why they don't want to work on a killzone it's a much more fun multi mode. -

__SteakDeck__218d ago

@Jin_Sakai First. As a business, you don’t just stick to what you do great. If that was the case, Apple would of just done computers and not taken a risk with iTunes and the iPhone. Also have you seen the cost of their AAA games like Spiderman 2? Sony is going to need one of these GAAS games to hit, or expect budget cuts to their SP games. We’re already seeing in the document leak, that they’re asking Insomniac to cut budgets.

Jin_Sakai218d ago

Their studios aren’t masters at GaaS and it’s showing. Naughty Dog wasted all that time and Resources just to cancel Factions and Insomniac's multiplayer Spider-Verse got axed. If Sony really wants a big GaaS hit their best bet would be to acquire EA or Epic Games. You need huge support to keep these games going with content and updates.

purple101219d ago (Edited 219d ago )

OHH GOD YES,, or at least some new shooter. finals was okay but I want more, spesh from 1st party

DaleCooper219d ago

Meh. You know what could be good? A new Killzone.

Magatsuhi219d ago

Hope it's not battle royale.

anast219d ago

It would be better than Monster Hunter, but I'm good with the Gaas stuff.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor444d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar444d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg444d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149444d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138444d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim444d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC444d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138444d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle444d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76444d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM444d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730444d ago (Edited 444d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger444d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca444d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy444d ago (Edited 444d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal444d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright444d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
