What do you expect for ten cents?
I remember Immortals: Fenyx Rising looking like a shameless, soulless ripoff of Breath of the Wild. Turned out to be an amazingly fun game that didn’t take itself as seriously as Zelda but had a tremendously satisfying gameplay loop and some really solid humor.
This isn’t that though. This is gonna be some creatively bankrupt trash.
Hey now, this will be a very unique game. Did Horizon: Zero Dawn have horribly grindy MMO game mechanics and monetization so far up your ass you could taste it? This is Tencent after all. Checkmate, haters.
~/s for the blindingly stupid.~
While I love the sentiment, it might be a matter of both unfortunately. But, we have NCSoft at the helm instead of TenCent.
They are actually planning a trilogy:
- Horizon: Zero Copyright
- Horizon: Forbidden East
- Horizon: Call of the Lawyer
competition is good, this game might push some new mechanics that work well with this kind of world/story and Sony will have to catch up, thus making the franchise better.
No, they're angry that this game, although it is in the same genre, got no originality or creativity from it's makers. It's an almost exact copy.
A world with mechanical animals is not unique to Horizon and was not even new when Horizon came out. The Xenoblade Series for example has mechanimals and this is not even the first either, just the first I can think of right now.
And the rest of the world, and the battle system, looks like Monster Hunter so it is not really new or Horizon exclusive either.
It’s not just that it’s a “world with mechanical animals”, it’s the entire design aesthetic is completely lifted from Horizon. It’s obviously a different kind of game, but the character and animal designs look straight out of the Horizon games.
Don't forget about ReCore.
