"You need to be hovering in order to shoot your weapons" I'm sorry WHAT???

UnHoly_One2483d ago

I think that means only hovering, not while flying.

I don't think it means that you can't shoot them on the ground.

It is a misleading quote, and I'm only guessing, but that's the way I took it.

porkChop2483d ago

Yeah I'm pretty sure you're right. We've already seen ground combat, no? So this must only apply to aerial combat, which makes sense.

rdgneoz32483d ago

Pretty much you can't fly full speed trying to unleash your full arsenal while dodging bosses. It's either running on the ground or hovering in the air.

Skull5212483d ago

I had high hopes for this game but I now have a sickly feeling its gonna be a boring grind in the style of Destiny and The Division. I don't think it's gonna be the game I thought it was going to be after seeing the reveal trailer.

UnHoly_One2483d ago

@Skull521

I love games like Destiny, and that's the exact kind of game I thought it was going to be from the instant it was revealed. lol

What did you think it was going to be?

Skull5212483d ago

A coop game with a story and and ending, maybe open world. Something like a Far Cry or Assassins Creed. Now I'm thinking it'll be a never ending PvE grind, probably raids and stuff, probably a severe lack of content with promises of more to come in the future provided you buy the necessary expansions, nothing I wanna play.

I think it’s too little too late for EA.

DivineAssault 2482d ago

When this game was first revealed, i was really excited to find out more information. Now that more on game is out there, im not getting my hopes up. It still looks cool but it doesnt seem like its for me. Everyone has very similiar exosuits too. I know you can unlock new stuff for em but nobody will look too different from one another. The gun upgrades seem like minor alterations as you fight bullet sponges. I hope im completely wrong and it has a fantastic story/content but i dont trust EA at all anymore

I Owe You An Apology, Hideo Kojima, I Wasn't Familiar With Your Game

Hideo Kojima and PlayStation go together like hobbits and breakfasts. That is to say, they're meant to be together, but they're also happy to serve up a PC port or afternoon tea if the time is right. Kojima's long-time collaboration with Sony means it always feels odd to see his name next to an Xbox logo, like Master Chief appearing on your PS5 or glimpsing your teacher in the big Tesco doing her weekly shop.

Good to see people coming around.

yawn. ^ All of this opinion piece sounds like someone’s recount when they get out of the norm and go on a hiking vacation and boast about their “life changing moments” over things extremely common and accessible to everyone. Get a rocket ship and take some selfies already. jezzus .

I feel sorry for this guy and his newly formed studio.

He left XGS and Playground to pursue his multi platform dreams just to find out next that Xbox will be making games for every single platform. Smh.

Lightning772d ago

I don't think it's any of that. Im sure hes heard of Xbox multiplat approach but wanted to do their own thing anyway. He has complete freedom and direction. This game could be a break out hit and join Larian Studios Baldurs Gate and Clair Obscure Expedition 33 a more independent studios.

"I would say we're not building Horizon. If I wanted to build Horizon 6, 7 and 8, I would have stayed at Playground"

He didn't want to keep making Horizon. Try reading any article before giving a nod to Microsoft.

I'm glad studios are breaking off from big pubs and doing their own thing.

Making games that are player lead and games that devs want to make and play themselves. This is how it was in the 90's 2000's even early 2010's. That's part of the reason why gaming was better back then. With more independency in the industry we'll have more creative games. Not this formulaic dopamine reward driven systems. But engaging, dynamic and most importantly organically fun to play. Not manufactured fake fun like how it is these days.

Rant over it'll be probably be awhile till we see their game but here's hoping it's good.
