Early footage from Horizon Forbidden West's unreleased multiplayer mode discovered

asdasdasdasd.png

An anonymous user has shared some never before seen footage from what is claimed to be a very early in-development build of PlayStation's Horizon Forbidden West. This was meant to serve as an online co-op mode for the game, though it currently remains unreleased, and Horizon Forbidden West launched as a single player game in early 2022. The alpha is from 2020, according to the leaker, and lines up with developer Guerrilla Games' hiring page, where the company was seeking developers to create, "an online project set in Horizon's universe", as of December 2022. Concept art was also discovered, which has a much more colorful and cartoony style than what Horizon Forbidden West would eventually have.

I hope to see something a bit like the coop mode of starcraft 2
In sc2 coop mode, you fight the main villain of the franchise (Amon) through different scenario that you already had in the franchise, though more difficult.
In the case of Horizon, it could be different scenario ressembling some quests players had in the single player mode involving Nemesis

There's a lot of people speculating "I hope it ___ when it releases"... Given that this is from 2020 and leaking now, I doubt it is releasing. They probably scrapped it, and that's why the individual decided to leak it... Because their hard work will never see the light of day.

They did consider multiplayers for Horizon Zero Dawn, ultimately they went with single player. They said multiplayers would drop the level of detail of the game to 1/2, so that wasn't what they were looking for.

man i love seeing leaks of what "could have been" sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. This however was definitely a Grey Area leak, the Multiplayer would have been interesting, but the Fortnite style is just no no no a thousand times no.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep

    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...

    sleeping with uremum

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • 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)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
