A PS4 build of Horizon Forbidden West has reportedly leaked a month prior to launch

The latest PlayStation exclusive, Horizon Forbidden West, is due out soon, with a planned launch of February 18, 2022. But even though that release date is over a month away, images have been cropping up online of someone playing the PlayStation 4 version of the game. A post on Reddit had a few screenshots collected in a post titled, "Horizon Forbidden West images leaked (PS4 version, jailbreak related)". Posts on Twitter claimed that the footage came from a hacked console, running a leaked version of the game, and within hours, the pictures had been removed "in response to a report from the copyright holder".

Media outlet Video Games Chronicle added to the rumors and curiosity by stating that their sources say the game has leaked, and the one shown in pictures is a near-complete build of the game, only missing what appears to be a handful of art assets. Right now, it doesn't look like the leaked game package is available to download, however that may change, given that there are some people out there playing the game already. Sony has seen this sort of situation unravel before, with The Last of Us Part II's story footage being uploaded online a month ahead of its highly anticipated release.

thanks. just bought it for the cheapest I could find, which was around $11, new.
It's a nice game with pretty graphics. I hope you enjoy it. Sometimes it feels a bit FarCry3-formulaic but I guess many open world games do. I enjoyed it back in the day. Loading times are not as bad as Witcher 3 but I remember they got in my nerves some times.

I hope you enjoy it.

Oh? It'll be for the PS4 as well? I just assumed it was a PS5 only game :o
I'm a happy Issac now, looking forward to this sometime in the future 😁

I lost interest after 10 minutes of playing the first one. The idea is cool, but the game felt repetitive and got bored of it quickly.

I’m playing It Takes Two and the game is epic!
Well, different people different taste.
I like it takes two TBH and I was trying to play it with a friend, but he found the game frustrating and a waste of time for some reason and we had to stop playing after the queen bee boss. He didn't like it takes two very much.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
