Honey, wake up, another blatant rip-off just dropped, and this one is bound to cause legal troubles sooner rather than later. Tencent Games and subsidiary Polaris Quest have just announced Light of Motiram, a 'legally distinct' take on PlayStation's Horizon series. The biggest surprise? It's an MMO coming exclusively to PC (for now).
]]>While there are plenty of FPS-heads out there who'd give an arm and a leg for Guerilla Games to put down the Horizon series it's spent the past decade getting off the ground and go back to making Killzone, it seems the studio itself is still pretty comfortable with the choice to switch to making adventures for Aloy.
]]>Sony has had a very mixed year when it comes to live-service games, but even so Guerilla's next game will reportedly be Horizon Online, not Horizon 3.
]]>Stop me if you've heard this before. There's a game that's so not old even dickheads in their early to mid twenties like me clearly remember it coming out and being able to buy it without necessarily having to beg our parents, and it's seemingly getting a remaster.
]]>You're in luck, parents, as you won't have to play through Lego Horizon Adventures before your kid does just to make sure it isn't too dark.
]]>PlayStation Productions has a lot going on at the moment. Shows like Twisted Metal and The Last of Us are moving into second seasons, and movies like Ghost of Tsushima and Uncharted 2 are a go (but still a ways off). Another huge IP adaptation was Netflix's live-action Horizon Zero Dawn series, but it seems like it's been put off... for now.
]]>Horizon Forbidden West just arrived on PC, along with its Burning Shores expansion. Forbidden West is only the latest PlayStation 5 first-party title to make the jump to PC, but this is a special release, thanks to its implementation of leading Nvidia tech.
]]>PlayStation has announced plans to lay off 900 people from its global workforce, as part of a reduction of the company's overall headcount by 8%. Several PlayStation-owned studios - including Insomniac Games, Naughty Dog, and Guerilla Games - will be affected, with PlayStation Studios' London Studio set to be closed entirely.
]]>Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition will head to PC on March 21.
]]>Those that have a hankering for robotic meats won't find the upcoming Horizon cookbook useful, but everyone else who likes regular food might.
]]>Today, Sony officially announced Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition for PS5, as well as PC. The game arrives October 6 on PS5, with PC to follow early 2024.
]]>In February, 2024, Horizon Forbidden West will celebrate its second anniversary. Given Sony's cadence of waiting around two years to release PlayStation exclusives on PC, it's about time for leaks about the PC release of Forbidden West to arrive.
]]>Guerrilla Games has said it plans on continuing its Horizon franchise "for a long while."
]]>Following the passing of actor Lance Reddick earlier this year, Guerrilla Games has added a tribute into Horizon Forbidden West's Burning Shores expansion.
]]>To the surprise of no one, Guerrilla Games has basically confirmed that another Horizon game starring Aloy is on the way.
]]>Sony knows how to make decent looking games. The platform architects/magicians the company has working away behind the scenes know their stuff, and whatever dark magic they’ve spun in making all the silicon and metal communicate and summon the graphics we’ve had on the PS5 exclusives is serious business. The best in the business, actually – the only thing I’ve seen that rivals Sony’s first-party stuff is the as-yet-unreleased Final Fantasy 16 (and we’ve got to wait for June for that).
]]>Aloy’s journey continues in Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores next month, and you can pre-order the expansion from today.
]]>It’s safe to say that this console generation has gotten off to a slow start. As both a PlayStation, and Xbox owner, I am hard-pressed to really say anything on Series X/S or PS5 is an absolute, cold-hard ‘must buy’ system seller. Halo Infinite was a bit of a wet wipe in the end, and I’m just not that into all the over-the-shoulder, hide-in-the-grass cinematic stuff that Sony exclusives like to peddle. I don’t think the new God of Wars are that good, really. Xbox, too, needs something more than Forza to show off what its machine can do.
]]>A fresh lineup of PS Plus games for February has just been released, meaning those with an Extra or Premium tier subscription are now able to download over a dozen excellent new games to the home console.
]]>Sony has confirmed Horizon Forbidden West, Borderlands 3, Scarlet Nexus and Resident Evil 7 are coming to the PlayStation Plus games catalogue, after news leaked earlier today.
]]>A video claiming to be of a leaked multiplayer project based on the Horizon franchise has appeared online.
]]>^Stay tuned for Jim's video essay on the genius of Vampire Survivors.
]]>Guerilla Games has confirmed that it's working on multiple new Horizon projects, including a co-op online game.
]]>Burning Shores is an expansion coming to Horizon Forbidden West in spring 2023 and only for PS5.
]]>The nominations for this year's The Game Awards are in, and unsurprisingly, both God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring have racked up a few of them.
]]>During tonight's PlayStation State of Play presentation, Sony provided a first look at the upcoming PlayStation VR2 game, Horizon Call of the Mountain. The firm also announced a new update for Horizon Forbidden West.
]]>Sony has released its first PlayStation 5 Bundle, and it comes with a copy of Horizon Forbidden West.
]]>Despite launching way back in 2020, it was arguably 2023 when the PS5 finally came into its own. It was always a good console, but 2023 was the first year when you could potentially just buy a PS5 without waiting in a digital queue and pouncing like an eBay sniper for even the most legitimate of purchases.
]]>Guerrilla Games has released patch 1.12 for Horizon Forbidden West, and contains plenty of fixes for quests, machines, and other multiple issues.
]]>Have you finished Horizon Forbidden West yet? I promise you, it’s quite good – the perfect sort of game if you like sprawling open worlds, always-intense bow-based combat, and stories that twist and turn as you pluck away at their secrets and mysteries.
]]>Guerrilla Games has released a new patch for Horizon Forbidden West which combines patch 1.10 into 1.11.
]]>Patch 1.09 is available now for Horizon Forbidden West.
]]>Guerrilla Games has released patch 1.08 for Horizon Forbidden West.
]]>A patch for Horizon Forbidden West has been released, and along with tackling some bugs, it also fixes issues with some of the main and side quests and addresses stability and graphical issues.
]]>What is it with the Horizon series and coming out right before genre-shaking barnstormers? Horizon: Forbidden West is excellent with a few trickly foibles, just as Horizon: Zero Dawn was. But now my life is all Elden Ring for the foreseeable future, and with some other pretty hot games on the medium-term horizon… I just can’t see myself finding any more time to play it.
]]>A patch for Horizon Forbidden West has been released and it fixes several issues and crashes players have reported.
]]>At the climax of the Tenakth arc in Horizon Forbidden West, a difficult moral decision falls to Aloy at the end of the battle: should she kill or spare Regalla?
]]>Dying armor in Horizon Forbidden West seems simple, but it’s locked behind a bit of a process.
]]>The Horizon Forbidden West Deep Trouble quest is one of the game’s first side quests, and it’s also one of the more vague ones.
]]>Starting this Friday, you will be to stream the Horizon Forbidden West score that accompanies your machine hunts, both in and outside the game.
]]>Horizon Forbidden West launched last week, and thought the game hit the shelves alongside some incredible reviews and a generally strong critical consensus, there were still some issues with the title on both PS4 and PS5 platforms.
]]>Some of the most mysterious collectibles in Horizon Forbidden West are the Black Boxes scattered throughout the wilderness.
]]>During Horizon Forbidden West, you'll run into Greenshine. Greenshine is a rare resource that you’ll need for certain upgrades as you journey through barren wastelands and into the unknown.
]]>As she explores the untamed frontier in Horizon Forbidden West, Aloy comes across a camp led by two Carja Scholars in the Drowned Hopes quest.
]]>Towering Tallnecks survey Horizon Forbidden West’s huge landmass, revealing vast swathes of the map to Aloy once she’s managed to climb them. In this Tallnecks explainer, we'll detail what Tallnecks are, and explain how you can climb them all in Horizon Forbidden West - some being trickier than others.
]]>If you've already booted up Horizon Forbidden West, you'll know that the game is one hell of a looker. And it looks as gorgeous on PS4 as it does on PS5, somehow. But if all the work the Decima Engine is doing to make Aloy's latest adventure look mouth-watering is still, somehow, leaving you underwhelmed, don't fret; you can see one of the game's trademark machines in real life, if you want to.
]]>Horizon Forbidden West Vista Points are optional side quests in the wilds where Aloy plays detective.
]]>Breaking Even is a side quest in Horizon Forbidden West where Aloy uncovers the mystery of a cave-in at The Spinebreak, a tunnel between two areas of the tribe lands, and finds the door code to a cache of supplies.
]]>Horizon Forbidden West is home to troves of old-world treasure, hidden in the dilapidated and decaying bones of a fallen society. Inside these Relic Ruins, your goal is to solve a difficult puzzle and collect a mysterious “Ornament” which can be used later on your adventure.
]]>Overlooking The Claim east of Barren Light in Horizon Forbidden West, Aloy finds mysterious signal towers hiding special lenses.
]]>The dangerous and beautiful machines of Horizon Forbidden West are some of the real stars of the show.
]]>Even though a big part of the upgraded traversal and exploration experience in Horizon Forbidden West encourages you to glide, zipwire and grapple around the map, there are still going to be times where you want to get from A to B in a flash.
]]>One of the many unlockable things you can collect and use in Horizon Forbidden West is face paint. Alongside armour, weapons and dye, face paint can be used to make Aloy look a little bit more in-line with the image of her you have in your head. I even used face paint to make Aloy look more like the people in the tribe I was currently doing quests with, for example.
]]>Some of the obstacles facing Aloy in Horizon Forbidden West are easier to overcome than others. From early on in your adventure, you’ll come across 'Blocked Path' icons on the map which can’t be cleared until much, much later on your journey.
]]>Key upgrade materials are vital to upgrading Aloy’s equipment in Horizon Forbidden West, but it’s not always obvious how to snag them.
]]>It’s not just machines Aloy is great at hunting. To make the most of your time in Horizon Forbidden West, you will need to hunt a variety of conventional animals like Peccary, Jays, Rabbits, and other critters to grab the resources necessary to craft and upgrade your pouch and inventory space.
]]>In Horizon Forbidden West, Aloy is on a mission to save the Earth once again - and the stakes have never been higher. But, without a guide to point you in the right direction, the amount of things to see and do in the dangerous Tenakth tribe lands can be overwhelming.
]]>Horizon Forbidden West's best armor isn't going to be obtained easily. The trials of the road have stripped Aloy of her best armor and left her in search of a new outfit in Horizon Forbidden West.
]]>In Horizon Forbidden West, Aloy is more capable than ever. On top of her unbeatable archery and free-climbing skills, she has tons of powerful melee, stealth, and machine riding abilities to unlock. But at the start of the game, it’s tough to know what’s the most useful and what to prioritise.
]]>On her way out of her homeland and into the distant wilds beyond, Aloy has decided she needs some more potent and deadly weaponry. But what are the best weapons in Horizon Forbidden West, and are requirements for the end-game different to what you'll make do with at the start?
]]>If you've been wandering around Horizon Forbidden West's myriad biomes, you may have noticed that Aloy can't help but pick up just about every item she sees. Whether it's some ancient wristwatch pilfered from an old chest, or a machine heart prised from the chest of some once-majestic cyber-beast, that item pouch of hers fills up quickly.
]]>Horizon Forbidden West is here. The long-awaited follow-up to Zero Dawn that puts us back in the shoes of the heroic Aloy as she embarks on a treacherous journey to uncover the truth about another threat poised to destroy her homeland... and the world.
]]>Attention LEGO fans and Horizon fans: you can soon own your very own LEGO version of the Tallneck from Horizon Forbidden West.
]]>Even before the reviews came out, we knew that Horizon Forbidden West was going to be a looker. Aside from all the PlayStation 5 teasers and trailers we've had for the game, we've also been subject to a brief glimpse at the PS4 game – and even that looked better than a lot of third-party PS5 games.
]]>After some delay, Horizon Forbidden West officially arrives on PS4 and PS5 this Friday. The anticipated sequel expands on the original game in almost every sense, but is it enough to lure you back?
]]>You’ve just slid under a robotic elephant’s tusk as it tried to gore you with the entirety of its 10-tonne-plus weight. Some of your flowing red hair caught the tip of its kevlar tusk. But that hasn’t phased you; you look up, pull out an explosive spear and jam it under the beast’s jaw. A dodge roll to safety, a quick sprint behind a nearby knoll, and a look over your shoulder tells you it was a clean hit – the resulting explosion took the beast’s plated armour clean off. You notch an arrow to your bow, concentrate as you take aim, and fire. Bullseye! The tusk comes off, clean. Just what you needed for that weapon upgrade.
]]>Sony has released a cinematic trailer for Horizon Forbidden West ahead of its February 18 release next week.
]]>Guerrilla Games has detailed the various accessibility features present in Horizon Forbidden West.
]]>A new video has been released for Horizon Forbidden West and it provides a short overview on some of the challenges Aloy will face, along with a look at some of the settlements in the game.
]]>Give yourselves a pat on the back, folks; you've made it. You've trudged through the long January evenings – no doubt subsisting off cheap food because this is one uncomfortably long gap between paychecks – and now we're heading into February. Hooray?
]]>Back when Horizon Forbidden West was first announced, it was unclear whether or not the game would land on Sony's last-gen PS4, as well as the current-gen PS5. Whilst it's clear the game has been optimized for the latest hardware generation (all the trailers to date have focused on PS5 gameplay), PlayStation's latest gameplay snippet shows off the game running on a PS4 Pro.
]]>Horizon Forbidden West is due to release in a couple of weeks, and ahead of the game coming to PS4 and PS5 consoles, we're starting to see the first hands-on impressions of the game hit the internet. As expected, initial impressions suggest this is a game that goes above and beyond the scope of the 2017 original, showcasing Guerrilla Games' remarkable use of tech and improving on the foundations that the previous game set up so thoroughly.
]]>Have you too been scarred by the sound of Sonic the Hedgehog drowning after that frantic countdown music starts playing? Have you huffed and sighed in frustration as Lara Croft bonked uselessly against an underwater wall in a cave for the 800th time? Have you rolled your eyes and turned off your PlayStation after making Crash Bandicoot eat submerged nitro, again, in your best Time Trial run to date? Then you probably hate underwater levels as much as me.
]]>There's only a few weeks left until we – finally – get to notch our arrows and get our hands on Horizon Forbidden West. To ensure we're all getting suitably hyped, PlayStation has released a new story trailer that shows off a little bit more about Aloy's next big quest into unknown lands.
]]>In this new video for Horizon Forbidden West, we're given a look at some of the tribes Aloy will encounter.
]]>Sony released the latest teaser trailer for the hotly anticipated Horizon: Forbidden West, showing off the machines of the game’s new setting and hinting that they might be controlled by less-than-savory forces.
]]>Horizon Zero Dawn's world was one of its best assets. Whether you were wandering around snow-capped mountains marvelling at its mechanical wonders or trekking across the plains ducking behind rocks to avoid being picked off by avian machines, the world always felt like an integral part of the role-playing experience.
]]>If you enjoyed cracking your best David Attenborough impression out and narrating the peculair lives of all the mechanical beasts in Horizon Zero Dawn as you explored Aloy's home region, you're going to love taking it up a notch in Horizon Forbidden West.
]]>Before Horizon Zero Dawn, and the upcoming Forbidden West, Guerrilla Games was a studio known for working on multiplayer alongside single-player with the Killzone series. The developer has since shifted focus to produce entirely single-player projects, beginning with Horizon.
