I mean.... Sony has a point. As a consumer that has enjoyed the Horizon series... I wouldn't mind giving this one a shot.

I mean it's better than waiting however long for the next one to come to console... THEN a year or so later to PC.

I've felt pretty turned off after watching half of their release video. The copying is just so egregious. I don't know if I'd be willing to put effort into an unknown quantity that's so similar.

And I ain't buying no console for it neither.

But maybe Sony will do a simultaneous release next time.

If Sony committed to that I'd be more interested in waiting.

They'll never do a simultaneous PC release of a PS exclusive AAA title. It drives sales of the consoles. Once that's dried up they'll release it for PC.

Hence there is a market for a derivative game. Though this is pretty blatantly a copy.

Yeah they pretty much outright said this multiple times.

And yeah, if I wasn't paying attention to the name of Tencent's game, watching that video would have made me think I was watching a trailer for a game based in the Horizon IP's universe.
