Aloy should be the lead.. Afterall she is the new icon of Playstation ..

SoulMikeY3373d ago

Icon? Haha

New lead each time would be awesome.

"Icon? Haha

New lead each time would be awesome."

Ya tell that to Joel and Ellie. Kratos, Nathan...

SoulMikeY3373d ago

They changed in Killzone and inFamous for the better. Plus your Joel and Ellie comment doesn't work, (not counting DLC) Joel was the first games protagonist, it's likely he won't be again.

And that's just PS games, countless franchises benefit from not using the same protagonists. GTA, and FFXV are the most recent proof that it's good.

No thanks. If you spend so much time crafting a great character then use them for as long as you can.

Remember when we got Raiden in MGS2...didn't go down too well.

I remember not thinking as much of Borderlands 2 or L4D2 because they switched characters on us, not the only reason of course but it was one of them. It's better to expand on what you have then quickly changing it to something else.

I do think they need to introduce someone in the sequel which resembles Jon Snow :')

SoulMikeY3373d ago

Solid Snake was the character for 3 games before MGS2 though.... not one. Totally different.

-Foxtrot3373d ago

Yeah but most people who were introduced to the franchise started at MGS...not Metal Gear

3 games or 1 the point still stands.

Hmmmm, I rather have them stick with Aloy if I'm honest. She is obviously the iconic character for Horizon Zero Dawn so why bother having different protagonists. The game has a very clear identity of the world and lead character, why change it? That's like saying we're going to use a brand new character for the Witcher series or maybe playing as someone else in God of War. It's fine if they maybe change protagonist down the road after a few sequels, but i don't want them doing it right now.

ironcrow23863373d ago

by way the reception the games already getting it.d be like wanting GoW without kratos or uncharted without drake

Kreisen3373d ago

I would gladly accept a male lead for the sequel if we ever get one honestly.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing18d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit18d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing18d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
