Horizon Forbidden West State of Play on May 27th

Seems Sony struck gold with horizon. This game is gonna be absolutely massive. I wonder though if it can beat the launch of the first one. Specially with a much lower PS5 install base.

well it is still cross gen so the low ps5 user base shouldn't be a problem.    also the launch of the first one (if memory serves) wasn't massive being a new IP and all.  i remember it have a decent launch and great legs.

I hope SSM add a new IP to that list.

Theoretically after the massive success of spiderman (and the failure of avengers) Disney would want another partnership with Sony for another IP. Do we think that will happen? If so what IP? Will it be marvel?

I suggested a pirates of the caribbean game. But the vizioneck board shut me down

i'm sorry but i'm not sorry.  johnny depp vs #metoo.  the last movies being kind of bad.   i like the idea i just think the IP itself is a bit toxic.

It did 2.3 million in 2 weeks.  The thing is, despite being cross gen, I feel a lot of people wait till they get a PS5 till they play this. Case in point being miles morales were PS5 easily outsells the ps4 version

And I actually agree that the IP isn't in a strong place. But I love it. And want one. But we do need a pirates action RPG game.

definitely.   

i've never particularly cared to try an assassins' creed game expect for one: the pirate one.    i didn't play it because the reviews were a bit mixed especially on the sea combat part but i was interested for a while there.

yeah maybe.   i guess to be frank i held off on TLoU2 and GoT and Control specifically to wait for a ps5 because i thought it would be worth if for these big games.  

if the launch in muted then the legs should be fantastic.   the first one was great and in 20 minutes they convinced me this is a big upgrade over the first.

Forbidden West will easily launch bigger. 2.5m+ first weekend I reckon, possibly even 3m+ depending on release date. By the end of September there will be 12m+ PS5s in people's homes, and PS4 launch will probably be close to 1m on it's own.

Horizon is massive, really can't be understated.

On the other hand, this is easily the most desired PS5 exclusive so far, so it'll get picked up by a lot of PS5 owners that don't have much to play.
