PlayStation reboots Horizon Hunters Gathering after poor playtests
BREAKING: PlayStation is rebooting the online game Horizon Hunters Gathering after negative playtest feedback. New plan is smaller scope, more traditional co-op multiplayer, no more live service. Yet another entry in PlayStation's ongoing live-service struggles: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Jason Schreier433As I've reported in the past, almost all of Guerrilla Games has been working on Horizon Hunters Gathering for the last few years, and the next mainline single-player Horizon game is still far, far away.
Higher Than Onix40Horizon as a live service was a terrible idea after all???
Eddy35any exec getting fired ??? no .....time to fire some devs then
Steve Vegvari 🔜 Gamescom30All I want is Horizon 3 and to close out the trilogy so we can move on
Chef Andy Lunique15I see a few comments from people who feel just as confused as I was when I saw this reveal. I thought it was a new IP. Why didn't take the engine and make it more "monster hunter." That would have been just fine. Expand on the world and other (cooler) characters
Steve Hester14I don’t think the number of people who GENUINELY want live service games is as high as publishers believe it is. As soon as I hear the phrase, I check out in the same way I hear “freemium”. My time is too short to be chasing FOMO bullshit.

Rami Ismail (رامي)71Launching a live service game expecting to strike gold is like launching a Steam competitor expecting to strike gold.
jesse10nobody wanted a Horizon live-service game! the entire point of the series is that there's one woman who's the protagonist for incredibly plot-specific reasons!
SpacePrez7If they just did Horizon, but Co-op, it would probably compete for my favorite game of all time. But they had to chase some kind of live service fortnite monster hunter. Which even monster hunter doesn't do. And even fortnite is struggling. Hopefully the reboot works out.
𝚂𝙿𝙾𝚁𝙺𝙱𝙾𝙾𝚃4live service is such a huge risk i cant believe companies still want to gamble on it at all, and the news that horizon 3 is gonna be years off because they sank the team on the main games into this is just hilariously stupid
David3The overall gameplay loop was interesting enough but… I never understood why it was going to be a live service game and how they were going to monetize it. It was never going to be able to support itself.
radda3"Monster Hunter but it's Horizon" is so much of a slam dunk that it's baffling they tried to live service it Also that they made Guerrilla make it themselves instead of someone else The PS5 isn't going to have it's own single player Horizon game because of this, how fuckin goofy is that?
Mark Lawson2Sony has had exactly 1 live service game success in Helldivers 2 and they dropped the ball multiple times there. After, what…12 attempts? Maybe it’s time to wrap it up.
rick👻2sony conseguiu EMBORA A COMPETIÇÃO DURISSIMA levar a coroa como publisher mais burra dessa geração pqp tinham o queijo e a faca na mão e mandaram a faca fazer queijo em formato de fortnite durante 5 anos só pra cancelar
Future Bat2Y me vais dejar sin Horizon III por insistir en esta mierda de estrategia Hijos de puta, ojalá lo del formato físico os salga como Concord
