"Horizon MMORPG confirmed to be in development. Under the codename Project Skyline, with the initial codename being Project H. Is going to be PC and Mobile using Unreal Engine 5"...
Maybe theyre adding a companion app? The focus is a big deal in the game, and niantic has sold out the technique to 3 game series with middling to better success already. Maybe it will have some gimmicky pokemon go esque deal for minor game resources.
A mobile app is one of my most hated gameplay experiences. Think of what the greats did on original consoles and how they used their limitations to push boundaries and now think of how GTA V, which had an in game smartphone and Internet required you to use your real world phone to train your in game dog.
Gimmick is the right word, the fuckers were also harvesting data.
I had a woosh of excitement in my tummy until I read that. 😔 I really want to hope it won't be jank and micro transaction-riddled, but I automatically assume it will be because they added mobile.
Even in game the tribes often sent people out in groups to explore and hunt robots. It would be pretty easy to turn killing giant robots into an mmo. There's enough gear in the games to make some basic archetypes prevalent in mmo games. There's really just not an apparent healer, but you could work around that with a design where every player has to occasionally be the tank and then heal themselves when needed.
It wouldn't be a fast paced "bullet time" style shooter like the main games, but there's solid potential in it.
Sounds like bullshit. This is based off job adverts on LinkedIn. Given Guerilla have been releasing for PS all along, it’s likely they already have the people to write that. They’re lacking for the other platforms so they’re hitting for those.
Yeah, I was wondering too if it's Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West or maybe Forza Horizon (I know it's ridiculous but for some people I know it's the only Horizon game they know, mostly Xbox gamers), but font on the job offer the talk about definitely like like Horizon Zero Dawn logo font
