Sony has already started plugging Horizon Forbidden West as an approaching PS5 title, though it will not be out up until some time in 2021, barring hold-ups, and not at launch.

Why? Its a great video game. Its the model for Sony providing their studios freedom to try new things, as Guerrilla Games went from Killzone to … combating robotic dinosaurs in a post-apocalyptic future.
Horizon was released in February 2017, so plainly we are on a uh, really innovative schedule for when Sony is comfy with PC ports. This one, in spite of some initial technical concerns, appears to be delighting a lot of gamers who never ever provided the first one a shot back when it was just on PS4.
I think what amazed me the most about Horizon Zero Dawn was its story, and the last description for why we exist in this bizarre world filled with robot dinosaurs actually made method, way more sense than I was picturing, and getting the complete breakdown of what in fact took place to produce this world was interesting, and in my opinion, the very best part of the experience. Im unsure if the sequel can reproduce that element, however Aloy also has been established as a brand-new period PS icon, and Im thrilled to see more from her specifically.

It does not seem most likely that Sony will follow in Microsofts footsteps any time quickly and begin releasing their PlayStation exclusives on PC on launch day. And yet Sony has actually undoubtedly opened up a few of their video games to PC release much, much later on, which is whats occurred with Horizon Zero Dawn this month, and the game is seeing a rise of interest as an outcome.

Why was Horizon so good? A couple of different reasons, however I think the Monster Hunter-ish dynamic of stalking the robotic dinosaurs and animals was a gratifying, unique battle loop unlike much else like it in the genre (and more accessible than MH, I would state).

I am delighted to see Horizon getting its due from PC players at last, and I believe the lesson here is that possibly Sony doesnt require to wait 3+ years to enable PC adaptations of its exclusives. Once again, theyre never going to go full Game Pass/PC cross-launch like Microsoft however I intend to see them relax a bit more past where we are now.
Why was Horizon so excellent? And why is everybody figuring it out its so great now? A couple of different reasons, but I think the Monster Hunter-ish dynamic of stalking the robot dinosaurs and animals was a gratifying, special combat loop unlike much else like it in the genre (and more accessible than MH, I would say).
I am seeing a lot of interest in the video game on Twitch specifically, as numerous streamers will primarily just play video games that are offered on PC, and that isnt the case for PS exclusives, previously. Its a story-based video game, no space for multiplayer shenanigans or competitive ability play like many other well-performing Twitch titles, however its been a popular playthrough all the same.
