Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster has to be a joke.


Played Foamstars for the first time yesterday, I found it inoffensive. I liked the foam mechanic and the clear Persona inspiration for music and UI but the characters and tone of the game don't work at all.
Is there a proper name for the kind of artstyle? I call it Discount Fortnite, the Foamstars and Destruction Allstars of the world?

I'm almost convinced some of these games would do well just not presented.. Like that.

Looks like there’s not much left from this leak left to officially confirm. It turned out to be a pretty credible leak though
Are you telling us that our resident Sony expert was... Wrong?

And a remake of FW as well. :)

The game already released on PC so what's the point? Who is this for? Sony:

It's just a port of the Ultra settings PC version with some models switched with the FW ones as an upgrade.
Cashing on the tv show, just like Gravity Rush and Uncharted, and until dawn.

Im sorry Yurinka, but Horizon Remaster is real lol
Are you sure? Where is it, did Sony announce any Horizon Remaster? Seems fake like basically everything in that table that wasn't already known before it was shared.

In addition to this, where is the open world MP "Carbon" from Sumo Digital and Lucid's Redstar? And why doesn't the list also include other XDEV games released recently like Death Stranding Director's Cut or Stellar Blade, or soon like Lost Soul Aside and Convallaria?

When this fake list was originally shared a cople years ago I pointed out several other things that also show it's fake.

Later we got more confirmations that it was fake, like confirming that people listed there supposedly in charge of games already released games never worked on them.

This might be fake, or just not full. XDev is working on MANY projects we dont publicly know about, and all projects listed here are stuff that already leaked or was announced, so It might be just a bunch of guesses. XDev tends to also help with third party projects like callisto, FF16, Capcom games, and it's not listed here.

XDev helps with all second party projects and there's tons of that in development. For example, I dont see Project Ooze here (?).

But that doesnt change the fact, that this leak doesnt prove, nor deny, the existance of a Horizon Remaster.

If this is not the clear fake I proved it is, and the reason of missing all the XDEV projects (not only from Asia, it's missing the NA ones too like Deviation, Concord or Fairgame$) then why it does have Rise of the Ronin and DS2?

Regarding European games, where's the 2nd party goo game XDEV was working on back then?

Maybe because they still weren't publicly announced, leaked or rumored so the fan who made them couldn't guess them, as couldn't guess the Horizon CoM engine, as also failed to guess the engine of some of the games we already knew were using another ones? Maybe because that fan didn't know XDEV also works with these other titles?

The only conclussion here is that this list is a clear fake since it has many things wrong and all the things it has correct already were publicly announced, leaked or rumored before the list was published.

This list:
  • Misses games we know they were working on
  • Includes games that when the list was published already were announced, leaked or rumored
  • Doesn't include a single new game not announced/leaked/rumored before
  • Includes roadmap/timings data that doesn't match with the periods where XDEV was working on these projects
  • Assigns workers to projects we know they never worked there
  • Doesn't even know how to properly fill the genres and engine info (a data btw that wouldn't make sense to fill it there in a XDEV internal doc, it's bait for the 4chan/Reddit/forums people who was going to read this)
  • Has a lot of wrong info, some of it being clear indications that whoever did it has no idea of game development and never worked on such projects
It's a clear fake, a joke

Imagine having a leak released years ago that got most stuff right and this lad keeps saying it's fake.

Wait, he also is still adamant that the Nvidia leak was fake, even when provided with the methodology on how the data was extracted.

There's no point in arguing, just smile, wave, and laugh 😂

This seems like a classic fake leak strategy where people are giving the leak credit for stuff that was either public already or very easy to guess and mostly based on already leaked stuff.

A real leak is vastly easier to confirm, like the guy that leaked the entire MS strategy going forward on discord, while being very specific and got everything right.
