Glixel: "Burch plays Aloy, a futuristic cavewoman and Horizon’s central protagonist. It’s the biggest role of her career – a lot of studio time goes into a massive open-world – but more importantly, Ashly doesn’t underestimate what it means to be 26 years old and trusted with a brand new franchise and an elusive, complicated female lead. We caught up with her and talked about that responsibility, as well as Sailor Moon and her admiration of Mass Effect voice actress Jennifer Hale."
Veteran producer Jade Raymond has left Haven Studios, the company she founded in 2021.
According to a new report by Bloomberg, Raymond – who rose to prominence after producing Assassin’s Creed and executive producing Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines and Watch Dogs – has left her studio, which is still in the process of developing online shooter Fairgames.

Jesus Christ man...Unbelievable!
I can´t believe that Playstation Studios can´t manage to develop and deliver ONE single successful high quality first party LS game throughout the whole current generation!
Hermen Hulst needs to be fired ASAP! He´s Jimbo 2.0!
But you pay $80 for it, we don’t 😉
And you still don’t have everything we have.
But you admit the main reason to buy a PS5 is Xbox games? Good. We’re on the same page. Sony first party is dead and worthless.
Can you stop the fanboying for 2 seconds? Seriously this deflecting and ignoring everything that's going on with Sony's first party the past few years is frustrating and ignorant. You know there's others who have a PS also and want Sony's best like we use to get right? Stop trying to ruin it for everyone else with side steps. Not this BS deflecting that you ppl constantly do.
Besides HD what other LS game thrived so far? Has Herman made good buissness choices and decisions when it comes to LS yes or no?
Start questioning PS Studios.
@Lightning
Fanboy? You talking about me, or yourself? We got alt guy over here with his brand new account burning up from rage, and you are asking me stop “fan boying”?
Sony have at least 3 first party heavy hitters coming up, that we know of, and its not like we are lacking in exclusives department.
As to LS, they had Helldivers, and GT7, both were resounding success. They had a complete flop in concord. Not sure why you think we need to be concerned. They are destroying the competition and that market share translates to games.
"Fanboy? You talking about me, or yourself?"
What's are you talking about how am I a fanboy? Those alt counts will be gone nobody will see them anyway.
I wouldn't call Marathon a heavy hitter and Yotei yes definitely. However they do have DS2 I just feel like there should be more. We all know why there isn't more.
They only have two LS HD as I mentioned and I totally forgot about Grand Turismo. Only 2 While canceling Twisted Metal and Spiderman LS. Who knows the quality at least those games sound compelling.
Btw MLB isn't a live service its a Yearly released sports game.
Yeah hate to break it to you Sony but I think they need to shelve their LS efforts almost all together. They formed LFG ex Bungie guys and making another LS but I don't have much hope for it anymore. Marathon is quickly getting overshadowed by Arch Raiders, We all know what happened to Concord.
Only solution I can think of is have 3rd party like a Arrowhead make them a LS game. Speaking of AH their next project is completely funded by them so it won't be from them. I just think it's a good idea that they seek a 3rd party for LS. They'll save time, money and won't take time away their SP efforts. Which is suffering immensely this gen due to all this LS.
It might come out it might not. Sony said they're still pushing the project. That's a good thing. Even if it does come out will it be any good? There's too many questions and hurdles surrounding the LS.
Bigger question when are we gonna see it? Will they have a PS showcase or State Of Play? Grubb said Sony was debating whether to have a showcase, SOP or anything.
I sure hope they have a showcase or something in the coming weeks. I want Sony first party and their teams not just Xbox events and shows basically saving the damn day at this point.
Of all the companies it's freakin Xbox that's doing it. Who'd a thought.
Live services games are hard to make & and even harder to make if you trying to create an original game.
Just copy and past succesful gaas or gacha games with their anime license they can easy make a overwatch or geshin impact clone.
The Nintendo Switch successor, Switch 2, has been in development since the year 2019, according to President Shuntaro Furukawa.
Nintendo confirms they are still taking 30% of that one guys income that they sued.
Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki and CFO Lin Tao talked about the state of the PlayStation business and the strategy and targets going forward, including how they're responding to the tariffs.
I think they take that into consideration when they announce their projections. Currently, after the xbox price increase, the PRO is cheaper than the series x! That is ridiculous, and it can’t last.
you keep saying that but the price of a PS5 Pro is S699.99 (US) and the price of a Series X is $599.99 (US)
The series x with 2 TB storage space is more expensive than PS5 PRO which also has 2 TB storage space.
Oh so you are pitting a regular Pro with a special edition X... got it. If you are going so far as trying to compare apples to apples... please add in the optical drive and stand to the Pro. Seeing as the X has both of those by default.
I will help you if you are unable to do so.
PS5 Pro 2tb: $699.99, Optical Drive: $79.99, Stand: $29.99 = $809.97
Xbox Series X Galaxy Black Special Edition 2TB: $729.99
The PS5 PRO has 2TB storage. The series X with 2TB storage and much weaker, is… more expensive! So yeah, Im pointing out that fact.
Also, the PRO does not require a stand.
Ps: regular series 2TB is $749 (where did u get 729?)
Its right here on the official XB site: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...
Okay, so no stand for the Pro, but you might still want the optical drive. So $779.98 vs $729.99. A properly outfitted Pro is still more $$ than a 2tb X.
Do I need to mention that the series x is not nearly as powerful as the PS5 PRO?
And no, the PS5 PRO runs just fine without a drive, and people don’t have to buy the drive right away, assuming they want it.
People are spending less time playing is a typical trigger for this.
The less time spent playing the less likely you are to spend more money on games and services including subs or even the next console.
Increased engagement equals more money.
Same reason Microsoft does it: it looks better to investors and it's a solution when unit sales slow down.
Personally, I'm not a fan of this metric; and by using it, you're kind of signaling that you're moving into the "This is a PlayStation" era.
I really like Aloy a lot to be honest. She is a character that I care about. Way back then in 90s for me, it was golden age of entertainment and the most balances media ever since.
My favorite female characters was Sarah Conor, Ripley and Princess Mononoke back in 90s. And today, they are still my favorite.
The writer of HZD described Aloy this : "She sort of arose out of the world we were developing. There was no one-for-one reference point. But certainly some things were influences: Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke, the Studio Ghibli heroines, and other strong women action heroes like Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor. It felt like she became her own characters, though."
I am a little disappointed in Ashly regarding Aloy compared to how she did in Life is Strange as Chloe.
I find Aloy and many of the characters in Horizon to be quite boring and 1 dimentional. The best character is actually the open world. Amazing work on that. and the gameplay is so fun i just love shooting metal dinosaurs
