Game of the Year 2017: #8 Horizon Zero Dawn

It’s up to us to take care of Earth

Kribwalker2355d ago

i thought a site that Sony helped found would have rated it higher then 8th.....

PS for those wondering

“Polygon launches out of the box with backers in Geico, Sony, and Unilever. ”

gangsta_red2355d ago

Strange I always thought Polygon was funded by MS.

I haven't read any of the article but im going to take a wild guess and say Persona 5 will take number one.

Nyxus2355d ago

@ gangsta: Persona is nr 6.

UCForce2355d ago

After all, you want Horizon Zero Dawn to be outcast and shunned. In the end, the game deserves a spotlight for what is accomplished.

I thought any serious site would have rated it better than #8. How polygon came to be is totally off topic and uninteresting.

UCForce2354d ago (Edited 2354d ago )

@gangsta_red and @Kribwalker If I want to respect you, it should have been start in first place. But now, it’s no longer there. The only time I agree with people like you in gaming community is where things are get complicated from left and right and middle. About Horizon Zero Dawn, if I have to be honest, yes i was upset that Horizon Zero Dawn hasn’t received many awards like others and been mocked fun by people who doubt GG talent. But in the end, Horizon Zero Dawn deserves something what is accomplished. It create a new community like myself and a new franchise to go even further.

yumi762354d ago

So since we all know your just trying to make Horizon look bad. I'd just like to point out that as of writing this Sony has 3 exclusives in their top ten and Microsoft has 0.

So that's Tuesdays, right?

Razzer2354d ago

One of the best games I've played this year, and the best new IP this generation.

RpgSama2354d ago

I'm not saying it should've won (which it could have), but I find it seriously hard to believe that there are 7 better games this year than Horizon, horizon it's top 5 at least.

Deep-throat2354d ago

It's not that hard. There many better games released this year.

madforaday2354d ago

@Deep-throat

You maybe right, but that would've been a great time to literally put your money where you're mouth is. It is easy to say the things you say, ready, there're literally tons of games better than that game.

See super easy but yet I get nothing done though. It sounds like I am lying.

rainslacker2354d ago

It's fairly subjective, but I can think of a few games that were still stellar this year to give good competition to Horizon. It's been a pretty good year for gaming.

Dlaw762354d ago

Being number 8th isn't bad

G20WLY2354d ago

No it's good. On closer inspection, Sony has 3 in their top 10, as well. All the more impressive, when you consider MS didn't have any..

Dlaw762354d ago

Playboy I like the game it wznt a jab at the game

London___2354d ago

I'm making $86 an hour working from home. I was shocked when my neighbor told me she was averaging $95 but I see how it works now. I feel so much freedom now that I'm my own boss. This is what I do>> http://4u.fyi/4k9

jojo3192354d ago

My guess for top three will be BOTW, Mario, Cuphead. Not sure which order.

frostypants2354d ago (Edited 2354d ago )

Certainly top 4. Some mix of BotW, Mario, HZD, and...I dunno...PUBG? Even though I don't think PUBG should be considered until it hits a v1 release. But HZD should be up there.

curious... if a game leaves PS+, does it make it unplayable if you have already claimed it before it leaves? I know on the XB side, games leaving Gamepass are no longer playable. You need to pay for them to be able to continue playing after you installed them from GP.

CrimsonWing6918d ago

The 3 monthly “free” games you keep as long as you have PS+ subscription. The PS+ library is like Netflix. They rotate stuff out and replace them with other titles.

MrNinosan18d ago

Yes, PS+ Extra/Premium games are unplayable after the leave the service, just like GamePass and Netflix.
PS+ Essentials games are available as long as you have an active PS+ account.

Profchaos18d ago

Monthly games, special promos like the free games during COVID or PS plus bundle on ps5 are forever yours. Premium and above are time limited

If you claim a game on the premium tier (not yours to keep) and it comes out as a monthly games later e.g. fallout 76 it appears you do not retain ownership on that one.

Notsofast18d ago

The 3-4 monthly games that are free that are part of every service are yours forever I canceled my service over a year and you never lose access. I dont know what these other comments are talking about maybe they are in a different country but in the USA I could play any game I claimed of the free monthly games

MrNinosan17d ago

Then one of the accounts on your PS5 probably has a PS+ Essential subscription.
Because the 3-4 PS+ games you get every month, is not available to be played if you don't have an active sunscription.
It's the same in US, Europe, Japan and everywhere else.

Petebloodyonion17d ago

Essential stays in your library
Extra and premium become locked when titles leave the service.

It's actually one of my gripes with Extra, you can't remove the title from your own library, so basically it countss as one your title but it's locked so you own library become a cluster F... unless you filter your titles.

MrNinosan17d ago

Well you can just chose to hide them.

Wonder if Horizon ZD leaving gives credit to those remake rumours

Sigh. If true…another remake that’s not Bloodborne.

SimpleDad18d ago

Probably yes cause of a remake.

Skuletor18d ago

I still remember them giving that one away for free, regardless of if you were subscribed to Plus or not

ApocalypseShadow18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

They did. It was during the pandemic and the "play at home" initiative.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition. Sony gave away a lot of games just to push gamers to stay home and not get infected by COVID.

Eonjay18d ago

I think you're right.
There is a separate Bloodborne rumor by the remake is allegedly scheduled for next gen.

Kingrizzy9018d ago

Yes cause of the remake good thing I got the plat
And is bloodborn really that good? I never played it due to being Incarcerated 8½ years but I read the comics. It's pretty dark

Profchaos17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Highly likely I also bet the remaster will be over priced and under whelming.

I'd also bet most people will simply stick with the PS4 pro and ps5 60fps patch over paying to upgrade when it offers the bare minimum.

I hope Sony has learnt from the last of us 2 and stop remastering games that just came out they have nearly 30 years of content to work with but always remaster games that are like 5 years old and don't need it. I assume this was In development alongside tlou2 so fingers crossed this is the last time we get this because what's next god of war on PS4 to ps5 for 70 dollars probably anything outside of bloodborne

Glad I played sundered and the messenger, both great 2d games

gold_drake18d ago

ahh the messenger is such a good game.

u should play sea of starts. same people, its a sort of prequel to the messenger tok

Friendlygamer17d ago

Oh I will definitely play it eventually, chained echoes too

Jingsing17d ago

Can N4G adopt a policy of games leaving subscription services as not being a new story, it is just spam at this point.

Petebloodyonion17d ago

Is it me or have there been a lot of great games leaving the extra tier but barely anything in terms of wow factor joining the service in return?
When was the last time that Sony added a PlayStation studio game?
Now I don't expect Sony to have day 1 like Gamepass but I would expect to at least care to make the offering interesting especially when they raised the price by 30% last year.

MrNinosan17d ago

PS Studio Games:
May - Destiny 2: Lightfall
April - MediEvil, Jak&Daxter: The Lost Frontier,
March - CoolBoarders

What Playstation Studio games is it you're missing?

Petebloodyonion17d ago

Sight...
let me check my comment again
" Is it me or have there been a lot of great games leaving the extra tier but barely anything in terms of wow factor joining the service in return? "
Yeah pretty sure I mentioned the EXTRA tier and not the PREMIUM tier
but glad that you consider a DLC to a free-to-play game a great offering

MrNinosan17d ago

I repeat my question, what PS Studio games is it you're missing?

And regarding the first part of your comment, lots of great games leaving and nothing added?

What great games iyo has left the service?
For me, "wow-factor games added would be".
Dave the Diver, Tales of Kenzera, Raji, Miasma, The Outer Worlds, Resident Evil 3, Ace Attorney, Rainbow Six Siege, AC: Valhalla, Far Cry 6, Watch Dogs Legion, Both Southpark jrpgs, Fenyx Rising, Tales of Arise, Session, Lego Worlds, Vampire the Masquerade Swansong, Legends of Mana....

And many more.

Compared to what has been removed, the adds are better than the 'offs'.
