Horizon Rip-Off Light of Motiram Will Actually Come to PS5

Of course they are happy to support it, it’s quite derivative in some areas but really who cares. If it’s good it’s good. If it’s not, then people will care even less.

I don't mind that it's basic concept is similar to Horizon. What rubs me the wrong way is just how far they went to make sure it looks as close to Horizon as possible. Like you can make a tribal robot animal hunting game without it looking so similar to Horizon. Come on.

I mean, money is money at the end of the day.

These guys should have called their game “Dawn : Horizon Zero” and been done with it! It certainly couldn’t look anymore like Guerillas game! 😂

Well if Sony don't care why should we 🤷‍♂️

Breaking news: Sony likes to have games on their platform

🤫🤝🤑

In other news , Nintend...

I wonder how happy Guerrilla must be. Nintendo lawyers would be all over this pretty obvious plagiarism and Sony just doesn't give a ***** XD Crazy

If Sony considered it a rip off worthy of legal action or one that will affect their partnership with Guerrilla we would be seeing something to that effect not the game coming to their console. Can people stop with the horizon cultism please.

Hence why I never backed people saying Sony should sue, it’s an obvious rip off but as long as it’s not actually ripping off one for patents and designs then it’s fair game.

If the game is good nobody but console war fanatics will actually care, and if it sells well on the PS Store then Sony certainly won’t care.

The world and machines look like a ripoff, but the gameplay is more like a Monster Hunter styled RPG.

I wish Nintendo acted like this, instead of suing everything.

@z0d15g0d Horizon cultism? All I've ever seen are people complaining about the franchise

Not sure why it’s called a Horizon rip off. Just because it has a similar art direction and concept? In that case all games are a rip off of something. Now, if it turns out to be shovelware fair enough, but it doesn’t seem so.

There's no reason for Sony to blocked the game or even sue the Chinese devs just because they rip off Horizon aesthetics / concepts.

For Sony, more games releasing for PS platform means more choices for PS users + more revenue for Sony & 3rd parties too. It's a win-win situation and it's been that way since PS1.

This entire industry is built on "clones" and has been ever since Pong.

As long as the game is good I really could not care less tbh.

I wonder if Sony would've let The Last Hope Dead Zone Survival (TLoU clone that released on Switch in 2023) or War Gods Zeus of Child (GoW clone that released on Xbox in 2022) live if they came to PS5.

Why is Push Square so intent on calling this a Horizon rip-off? Sure, the visual style and some other elements are heavily influenced by it, but the gameplay video makes it look like a completely different game to Horizon.

It does look very derivative in general though, like several games thrown together with Horizon just being the most instantly visible component, but that doesn't make it a Horizon rip-off.

@Grumblevolcano I never hear those games lol but Sony let Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta, an Uncharted clone released on PS3. So, maybe Sony would approved those games if the devs send their games?

Just imagine if it's better than actually Horizon lol

Hopefully Sony don't go Nintendo on they backside

"Ripoff" of elements aside, it kind of looks awesome lol. I mean Horizon has problems and the sequel was pretty mid and ignored what could have been fixed from feedback on the original in terms of gameplay. This looks to have far different combat focus.

If this copycat learns and evolves, I'd give it a go. You know what they say about imitation. Let's also be real hear, no one is now calling the myriad of souls likes out there ripoff now and many are great.

It kind of feels like this is being framed as a rip off because this site is dedicated to promoting and defending all that is Sony and their profit margin, above actual unbiased video game reporting...
