The year of delays continues: Horizon Forbidden West releases in 2022

I mean, we can count Blizzard imploding as one, who is the next victim?

It was never intended to be released in 2021. Sony were bluffing all along.

Has the new GOW been confirmed at all for 2021 like they initially said?

Confirmed for 2022. If Cows are lucky, they'll get GoW, Horizon, and Gran Turismo all next year.

They were teasing this game when they fshowed off the PS5 in that big show of july last year, back then there was no talk of a PS4 version.

Nice bait & switch.

Damn that's awful. Just stick with PS4/Xbox One if you can't find the next gen system at retail price.

Seriously. I'd be pissed if I upgraded from PS4 to PS5 for this.

@Telekill: Which store had it one shelves?

Any game, really. We are still just playing PS4/Xbox One games at a higher resolution...

Aw hell no. Not happening.

Who confirmed gow for 2021? GoW2 had less confirmations than AssCreed Sony Edition, and AssCreed Sony Edition had no confirmations to begin with.

Exactamundo.

@Pedro: Vintage Stock. Not sure how large a chain they are.

@hardwenzen: Deathloop, Psychonauts 2, DLC for Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding Dlc, and then you have the games that already released like FF7, Ratchet and Clank, Returnal Demons Souls and more 3rd party games, like i said plenty to Play on PlayStation, Sony has been doing a great job releasing some exclusive to PS5 and PS4 even if i could care less about them but there are people that do

Bunch of multiplats and DLC's as holidays content. Not looking pretty, dude.

Expected. The game is looking great. They can take all the time they need. Imagine releasing a turd like Crapscent or cyberpunk?

I really find the discourse in SW amusing. And this is for all platforms except PC.

In here:

- Xbox is a failure with no games and sales.

- PS milk and delay everything and even though they sell well, they're failing

- Nintendo releases turds and bad looking games and is failing.

I joined this place this year and it's really hilarious how out of place and disconnected from the reality this forum is.

I enjoy the nonsense and pretending to act like a deranged fanboy but sometimes is just too much. 🤣

Anyway, time to log out, I'll be back in a few days to keep speaking nonsense. 😎

PC has had Flight Simulator for a year. What point are you trying to make other than the fact you're a peasant who waits for gimped ports? Not to mention I live rent free in your head hence you having nothing better to do on a Friday night than tag me into a thread seeking my attention. Not a good look, bud.

@hardwenzen: It's gonna be a little wait for new games, but at least it isn't Nintendo bad, with old games releasing at prices higher than they initially released at as the only thing on the horizon. Ha, horizon.

I doubt there are any in my area. Is that in the US or Canada?

Nothing is as bad as Nintendo. I am only complaining about my ps5 because i bought it for exclusives, and there's none for the second half of the year. You still have access to all the multiplats. With Nintendo, tho, you have no multiplats, old zero effort rehashes and everything runs below 30fps. Wouldn't want to be in Casey shoes right now.

But Nintendo has SMT V, Metroid Dread, and NMH3 coming this year.

@hardwenzen: Same I got PS5 mostly for the exclusives as well, although I'm playing SaGa Frontier remastered, a PS4 game, mostly on it these days, and a good amount of Returnal. SaGa Frontier will always have a piece of my time as long as I'm alive.

Ninty ain't all bad though. SMT V will release soon.

@Pedro: American Midwest

Probably the only PS5 game I was looking forward to. Guess I'll buy one in 2022.

@fedor: Yeah just mentioned SMT V above. Was more poking fun than anything. Truthfully speaking though, I actually have a tentative attitude towards metroid dread and no more heroes.

Never thought this game was coming out this year. Sony would be pushing ads for it already if that were the case. But still, a delay is always okay in my books cause we don't want another CP2077 rushed game.

Meh Sony always starts new gens slowly.

And currently the ps5 is on top, for consoles anyways.

Who saying “sales wise”? In fact, what MS exclusive outside of Gali is a sales juggernaut? So far, as far as exclusives go, the Xbox camp have been trailing behind. All the Xbox camp has had is Bethesda promises to go by.

Actually it is the Switch. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Biggest gaming drought of 2021, the PS5. What a first year.

At least Aloy now has plenty of time to do some workout, lol. So many game delays on a console that isn't even available to buy. I'm glad I own a PS4.

I own a PS4 and Xbox One X and it works fine for me. Next-gen is a huge disappointment so far. I am currently diving in all those old games I missed out on on release, e.g. Greedfall, Disney Afternoon Collection and Ori. They are also a lot cheaper than those 70 USD releases. By the time I am done with all the old stuff, a PS5/Xsex should be easier to find and there will be more compelling games available for them.

For the best. Sony already has me swimming in games!

@NathanDrakeSwag: hahaha I am dancing that it got delayed🤣🤭

They saw Forza horizon 5's graphics and realized it looked last gen so an extra 6 months work might get it looking half as good as graphics kings playgrounds game

Any follower of Guerrilla saw this coming. I suspect even another delay pushing the launch back to holiday 2022 to compete with Starfield, which would be the correct move. That is unless GOW is slated for then.

From what we saw it looked on schedule for release but I'm ok with it delay it and the extra few months of polish.

Pretty dry year for PlayStation….ouch.

Sony should be more focused on its own gamepass as thats where gaming is heading

Yup, waiting seems to be the way to go. I'm getting to much mileage out of my GTX1080ti and PS4 pro for now.

In fact the only console I've bought so far this gen has been the Xbox One X. Because it can play RDR, Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark and other games in 4K.

@R4gn4r0k: The One X is also the console I am most interested in. Especially with Starfield coming up and I am also thinking of buying a Gamepass. But it can wait for now. Maybe if I grab a good offer on Black Friday. If any consoles are for sale that is.

Honestly everything about Horizon Forbidden West looked incredible. I was especially amazed by how good the sub surface of the ocean looked.

Everything except for the new Aloy model though. It could be worth waiting for a PC version, if they were able to replace the new Aloy model with the old one.

Why can't I hold all these PS5 games?

It's more or less just artsytle. It's a PS4 game.

The gameplay stinks too. Very Assassin's Creed like.

Says the person who thinks Metroid Dread is a visual masterpiece.😂🤣😭

@wonderwinner: Ha! Yeah, it's still kinda like a 90's playground in here. "Genesis does what Nintendont!" The rest of the world has moved on, but not us.

Honestly, it doesn't matter what system I buy anymore, I won't have time to get through all of it's good games.

Playstation Studios 2021 releases:

Destruction All-Stars

Returnal

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart

Xbox Game Studios 2021 releases:

Microsoft Flight Simulator Xbox Series X/S

Psychonauts 2

"Deathloop"

Forza Horizon 5

Halo Infinite

And since Metacritic score is the only thing that matters according to Sony...

Average PlayStation Studios 2021 releases Metacritic score: 78

Average Xbox Game Studios 2021 releases Metacritic score so far: 92

So now that Microsoft has, objectively, a superior first-party to Sony... What does PS5 have over Xbox? Nothing. It's a worthless console.

@archibaldj: Hi troll account, who are you actually?
