As a known PlayStation dude I say this: STOP HATING ON ZELDA. It came out to higher reviews than Horizon & around the same time. But that doesn't make either game better or worse. I'm personally having a ball with Horizon & I know people who played both & love both...THEY'RE BOTH GREAT GAMES...(btw, in terms of "console wars", if Horizon takes the "L" compared to Zelda review scores...Well I'm having a ball with my consolation prize)
...
@EddieNX -- The beginning of your comment reads exactly like this, "I'm playing Horizon straight after Zelda. But sorry Sony fans, Zelda is not only better than Horizon..."
How can you possibly know Zelda is better than Horizon if you admit you've only tried 1 of them??? smdh...
@Sitdown
You make some very good points. Other points you have to consider is: 1 of the most recognizable franchises vs new IP. And its very likely that almost everybody who bought a Switch also got Zelda
BOTH games are great!!! But i think this shows that Horizon Zero Dawn is the 8th gen's BIGGEST New IP
This is bad...Do we know which states this affects?
Great question: Is it 9pm Eastern (8pm Central, 7pm Mountain, 6pm Pacific)...
OR
9pm at local time (no matter what time zone)
The article forgot Gran Turismo: Sport...but who's counting
@KionicWarlord222 - "Psvr sales are a far cry from what all those analysts were bragging about."
Those analysts dont make financial decisions as to the future of hardware & software related to PSVR. In other words, Sony's predictions are really the only predictions that matter...
@moldybread - "un til it sells about 10 million i dont expect anyone including sony to put as much resources behind it as they do on the main console"
Of course NOBODY expected (or expects) Sony to put as much resources behind PSVR as they do on the main console.
PSVR sales are ahead of schedule per Sony's internal estimates...
This goes to show that the only prediction/estimates that matter are the ones from the people doing the funding. Any other predictions from any other sources matter far, far less
@UCForce
Is it possible to have a co-flagship??? B/c I still think TLOU should be up there too (but definitely agree w/you about Horizon)
@moldybread "but oddly enough there appears to be a huge list of reasons why its not a good idea when the ps4 loses a title to multiplatform."
Really...Well just 1day&13hours ago this very site ran an article showing a PS4 game probably going multiplat. The article had 188 comments. Please show me the comments which contained the "huge list of reasons" you speak of...Here's the N4G link: 3396d ago 38 agree6 disagreeView comment
I wasn't a huge fan, but I want as many games to succeed as possible. So if going multiplat keeps this franchise kicking...DO IT!!!
Weren't they originally making a brand new Phantom Dust? What happened to that?
@JimCarrey -- "Halo wars is epic. Definitely better then any game ive played on my ps4 in the past three years"
Just because you refuse to play the highest rated exclusives on PS4 doesn't make Halo Wars better...Sorry
"lets just say japan is no longer the powerhouse they used to be" -- Maybe not...But Japan is still the 3rd (or 4th if you include China) largest gaming region in the world. So...
This is what happens when you hire one of CD Projekt RED’s Quest Designers - Dennis Zoetebier & one of their Senior Technical Designer - Shadi Dadenji (one of his jobs is "Supported quest and open-world designers with scripts and tools")

And just one thing on the title: "PlayStation is desperate for Horizon Zero Dawn to cure its sequilitis"
"cure its sequilitis"... Really??? Can anybody actually say that PlayStation relies on its sequels more than any other gaming company???
In other words, there are a couple of gaming companies I can think of, in need of this "cure" for sequilitis far more than PlayStation
I love this line in the article : "...it was starting to become painfully obvious that Sony might be losing confidence in the idea of new IP." -- ROFLOL!!!!
I mean really? Is it really "painfully obvious" that Sony's losing confidence in the idea new IPs???????
Good or Bad/Like or Dislike PS4's new IP this gen, they've had PLENTY of them this gen (The Order, DriveClub, Bloodborne, Until Dawn, Knack, Nioh, etc)
<...
Yes...I agree with all above. BOTH are great & I'm glad gamers get to enjoy both
