“IT'S COMING. #PS5”


EWpUUV5XgAI3kYd.jpg


"Revealed! The surprising Horizon Zero Dawn sequel". I just saw this and I'm confused on why no one's talking about this.

OPM don't get scoops anymore so it'll just be recycled information we heard about the other week.

Watch it be a launch title, it's not as if it hasn't had enough time to cook. Guerrilla have the tech already there and they've been on this for four years.

i'm out of the loop, what's this fiasco everyone talking about?
what happened there?
They wrote 2 articles about the game by just recycling an interview from 2018 and a bunch of old blog posts and tried to sell the info in it as new, and apparently some info in it still ended up being inaccurate as well. Both articles were written without any involvement from Sony or Sucker Punch as well.

What exactly is surprising about the sequel? Dance minigames? Aloy has had a kid so now she's a Glum Mum since she can't be a Sad Dad? Sylens appears and turns out to actually be adult Boi of War? Nathan Drake time travels and meets Aloy? The suspense is killing me.

Could it be that Sony already sent the info about Horizon 2 to magazine so the next issue after the reveal next month can have it? that's the only explanation I could think of (other than this being another mess up from OPM).
It's probably just regurgitating the VGC rumors, no?
Oh yeah forgot about this. This's likely what it's.

Jesus. You would think Sony would have a tighter leash on their OWN magazine.
They're the official magazine for PS, and they dont get access to exclusive information?
They're making articles out of interviews?
Sony doesn't own this magazine, neither they are affiliated as far as I know.

The official name is very misleading

Sony doesn't own and operate these "official" magazines. Official Xbox Magazine wasn't run by Microsoft either.

Wow... I mean, I'm not a lawyer, but I'm surprised you can just throw the word "Official" next to a brand you're not affiliated to, and have no legal repercussions.

Who's OPM? And why do they know nothing? I'm out of the loop.

Ohhh OPM is the Official Playstation Magazine. So why don't they know anything?
They're well known "clickbaiters". Most of the time it's just some summary of well know (and old) rumors etc.
Then there was the Ghost of Tsushima thingy lately. It is what it is. Better ignore them.

being the ''Official'' platform magazine doesn't really mean what you are thinking. Its just a license, it's not like the magazine is curated and worked by SIE or anything remotely close to that

this magazine is one of the brands of Future Publishing, owners of EDGE, GamesRadar, PC Gamer, Windows Central, Official Xbox Magazine and many, many other publications

Sounds like this source might not be true, but I hope HZD2 is revealed sometime in the next year or so. I really loved the first one, and there are a lot of things they could do to make the sequel even better.

Future Publishing basically licensed the name from Sony. I believe at one point in the past Sony WAS involved in one of the Playstation Magazine(s), but those days are long gone.

Tbf, they did gives us new details about Godfall

But Godfall is a smaller game than HZD so I'm fully expecting this to be recycled news especially after that Ghost of Tsushima fiasco

The "official" only means that the publisher officially licensed the PlayStation name/logo.

This is surprising to me as well. I can just say Official NFL magazine or something? Or is it more along the lines that Sony has never cared to fight it as even if the name can be bothersome it is a magazine dedicated to their brand.

If they had any actual info it would be the cover story of the month not a thing that gets a tiny blurb on the corner. Come on.

even if it isn't what he's thinking, I bet you the majority of the readers are under the impression that that's what it means so it's incredibly odd.

I feel like a Horizon sequel reveal would merit more than a little bit of text in the bottom corner of the cover in a small font.
