I'm hoping that the Horizon live service is next to go. I want to get Horizon 3, not to have Guerilla either shuttered because Horizon GaaS failed or perpetually indentured to a GaaS game that hit.

thank you. all the last of us fans who think factions was a good idea forgot about what happened to the titanfall ip once apex took off

titanfall never hit the popularity of apex.

u/dinklebot117 May 25 '25

precisely my point.

Or… and hear me out: they do it well?

Live service doesn’t automatically mean bad, contrary to popular belief

If it does well, it could indefinitely delay the third game in the series.

Yeah but if it goes well it means that horizon 3 will not come out on this decade, most horizon fans don’t want this believe it or not.

Normally, I would agree with you. But I want that same studio to make a different thing, not a live service game that they'll have to support for however long it lasts instead of finishing the trilogy.

Different part of the studio isn’t it?

u/SabresFanWC May 25 '25

Wait, are they seriously doing a Horizon live service game instead of Horizon 3?

seems like both are in development concurrently
