There's a tv series coming out? I haven't heard anything about this. When does it take place?

I like how both HZD and TLOU are both getting remakes with PC ports while Bloodborne is still stranded on the PS 4 and hasn’t even gotten a 60 FPS patch for PS 5 users. None of those three games need a remake, all are pretty much perfect as is and look excellent graphically (though Bloodborne has some minor hiccups such as spots where you can see out of bounds and NP Cs not moving their mouths when they talk), but I would love to play Bloodborne on PC at 60 FPS or higher. I get that From Soft probably has their hands full with the rumored Elden Ring DLC (though I have a policy of assuming leaks and rumors are false until confirmed true) but it still comes across as annoying favoritism.

Here's Gamespot's coverage of the planned Netflix series, for those interested.

One day, we will read his name in the news and cheer.

I could certainly handle a Netflix series better than the actual games... grin

Here's the IGN scoop on the planned Netflix series, from back in June: The Horizon TV Series Appears to Be Called Horizon 2074 - Which Is Likely a Big Clue to the Story.

    Article 
PlayStation's Horizon TV series will seemingly be called Horizon 2074, indicating that it's partly set during the fall of civilization that takes place 1,000 years before the games.

The name was shared alongside a crew listing on the Directors Guild of Ontario website, matching reports from industry insider Jeff Grubb who shared the listing.

The 2074 date more or less matches up with the fall of civilization in the 21st century mentioned in the two PlayStation games (Zero Dawn and Forbidden West), which date it slightly earlier in 2066. The actual story of the Horizon games takes place around 1,000 years later.

Sony announced that Horizon would be expanding into a multimedia franchise in May alongside two other PlayStation game series: God of War and Gran Turismo. Little else is known about the Horizon 2074 other than it's coming to Netflix.

Horizon: Forbidden West, the second game in the franchise, was released earlier this year (IGN said it was amazing), and the series is breaking more new ground with a virtual reality game called Call of the Mountain coming to the PlayStation VR2.

One day, we will read his name in the news and cheer.

Perhaps they found the end of the world itself a more interesting plot than the far flung future - for now, at least.

Perhaps not the most obvious choice, but it could still work.

Yeah, I assumed if we were getting a prequel it would be about Avad's rise to power or Rost's time as a Death-Seeker. This could work, though.

Is it live action? If it is, I imagine Carrie-Anne Moss will reprise her role as Tilda, but I don't think anyone else would really fit their characters. Ashly Burch, in particular, looks nothing like Elisabet.

Not complaining, but it does seem odd that it's going to show up in a DLC first, of all things. I would have thought that was going to be an endgame boss—maybe even an end of series boss.

Whoever suggested a fight with a damaged Horus that has to be stopped before it finishes booting up, you might just get it.

Edit: ...was that someone here, or am I thinking of somewhere else? Anyway, it's exciting regardless of how it ends up going down.

The PS Blog confirms that the DLC will take place after the game’s ending and is apparently exclusive to the PS 5 version.

That was someone here, yes. You may call it now.

Man, that Hollywood sign looks practically brand new, all things considered. This series loves Ragnarök-Proofing, but this looks silly even by that trope. grin

And of course it is destroyed by the first monster that comes across it. It survived for a thousand years, and then this happens... grin

Walmart, Sony's website. Free delivery too (at least if shopping within the US).

But I think only the God of War bundle is in stock rn, P S5s on their own all said unavailable.

I can't buy it on the website, it only lets me subscribe for a chance to buy it (I despise this model of sales, btw...). Everywhere else it's still sold out for my country, it seems, or they only have the price gouging "second hand" ones.

Yep, that was me talking about fighting an active Horus or at least stopping it from booting up. However, I gotta admit, having it show up first in a DLC is extremely.... odd. It'd probably be better reserved for the endgame of the trilogy, but what do I know? I'm no game developer.

First game's DLC had us dealing with a whole another Rogue Subprogram so its not like there isn't a precedent for them sticking big stuff in there.

Right, and ultimately Aloy wasn't able to defeat HEPHAESTUS in the Frozen Wilds, it was basically just a character intro. Which was good; you can skip Frozen Wilds and still understand everything in Forbidden West.

Maybe we won't fight the HORUS here? We don't even know why Aloy went to Hollywood yet, maybe another rogue subfunction took it over and its going to be more about talking the thing down than fighting it.
