Cool. So some Gaas games I can tolerate Or like Like certain MMOs.

Havens game look generic af. So does Horizon mp. Theres gonna be some duds just like single player games. But something like Factions 2 Marathon might be great Online games. Who thought Fortnite and Apex were gonna be as big as they are now.
No way ND is giving up its story telling in Factions 2 though.
Too bad Factions seems to be in development hell, pretty much ths only GaaS I cared about.

Bungie to me is like Bethesda, I can't stand their games, their games ooze that Xbox stench.

Would fucking love a Killzone revival rather than guerilla making more horizon bullshit.
Both are mids that continue to waste world class technical talent. Their creative heads and leads, from Herman, to his replacement....all mids. You look at what CDPR was able to do with a bunch of misfitsl on their own without the cover of daddy Sony... it really puts it well into perspective.

Im still not sure a delay and moving team members to other projects is development hell, but we’ll see.
Nah I enjoyed Halo 1-Reach ect. After Bungie left it sucked.Destiny too, its one of the very few online games Ive gotten into, the PVE/Raids.

I wouldnt call KZ2 a mid. The gunplay was great and the graphics, sounds was all A class At the time. Story I cant remember lol
The franchise as a whole. KZ Shadowfall said it all really when all was said and done. They didn't go out with a bang, the franchise went out with a fart.

Can't say that for Bungie and Halo Reach (their direct competition).

Although Killzone never quite lived up to the "Halo Killer" moniker for myself personally, I wouldn't call it mid. Killzone 3 was fun and the multiplayer was *Chefs kiss*.

Mag was ahead of his time, even when xbots talk how much playing online on the 360,most games have players as hosts, and Mag got servers by Sony with 256 players, all for free, also warhawk and killzone 2 were fucking awesome

I dunno why people are frightened about MP games. You know we haven't seen anything new from Housemarque, Bend, Suckerpunch, Bluepoint, Team Asobi, Santa Monica, Media Molecula, Insomniac's Wolwerine? Guerilla is working on a new Horizon.
Those showed MP games few days ago are from recently acquiared studios, though.

Actually those games would have been fire in this time. MAG, Uncharted 2, Killzone, whole Home service. That was ahead of its time.

I was just gonna finally post in here and I'm glad so many said it.... Mag, Socom, Home, Motorstorm, Warhawk were all awesome and I think many people would love to see them back...

Many of them were overlooked and not given a fair chance or not supported properly by PlayStation after launch.

I loved Home and it made money, I never got to try the last Socom but I was a fan of the series. My brother loved Mag and we both played a little Warhawk.

Another embarassing 'sony is doomed' thread. You guys are too annoying. I'm considering to leave the forum
Do you think Sony ever made any mistakes? Are they even capable of making any mistakes or wrong calls?

One Horizon game was enough for me. Did the sequel have like a real ending or some cliffhanger? I ask because I want to believe a Horizon 3 isn’t immediately next.

I like Guerilla. Horizon had great bow combat and monster encounters. Hell, I even enjoyed Killzone’s PvP. That’s was where I spent most of ps4 launch….

Killzone IP kinda lacks identity and is a bit sterile but I’d love to see Guerilla take a shot at another action game of some kind. Killzone or not.
