Horizon: Zero Dawn

3 months - We break down the new Horizon Steel Frontiers trailer to see how Korean developer NCSoft is re-thinking the fundamentals of Horizon for multiplayer. From Steel Frontiers' new take on combat, to both new and familiar robotic foes, character creation, and more! We've combed through the latest trailer to break down and discuss the biggest changes coming to this multiplayer switch-up.

6 months, 1 week - In today's Daily Fix:In light of Sony's lawsuit, megapublisher Tencent has changed some of the assets on the Steam page for Light of Motiram. The game fell into Sony's crosshairs for looking a lot like their Horizon Zero Dawn games, and judging by some of those marketing assets, Sony might have a case. Tencent has changed the description and some of the art featuring a female protagonist that looks an awful lot like Horizon's Aloy, as well as easing up on mentions of giant mechanical beasts. In other news, Bethesda's Starfield may finally be giving fans what they want: the ability to fly between planets. Although not officially announced, the new 'feature' won't be exactly like No Man's Sky's key feature of letting you take off from a planet's surface, fly into space, through the atmosphere of another planet, and onto that surface without an obvious loading screen. Starfield is getting a PS5 port sometime next year, and could see some new feaures added, like the aforementioned 'flying between planets' ability. And finally, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is promsing BioShock 4 will come out, despite recent news that the game had failed an internal review after years of development.

6 months, 2 weeks - In today's Daily Fix:Sony is suing Tencent over the game Light of Motiram, which Sony claims is a rip-off of their Horizon franchise. Judging by the trailers only, it's not hard to see why Sony is taking Tencent to court—the two games feature a red-haired female protagonist in similar outfits, a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by robot animals, and even similar font and key art. In other Sony news, August's PS Plus games have been revealed, with Lies of P headlining the offerings. And finally, Mario Paint is back on a Nintendo console. Nintendo dropped the game on the Nintendo Switch Online service, and yes the Switch 2 version takes advantage of the new Joy-con's mouse controls. Switch 1 owners can still play, provided they plug in a compatible USB mouse.

1 year, 5 months - In today's Daily Fix:The ESRB has rated a remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn for the PlayStation 5, which prompts the question: why even remaster this game? The original PS4 release received an update that bumped up performance on the PS5, and that's all gamers really wanted. The sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, was released just two years ago. And yet another year goes by that another Sony-published game, Bloodborne, doesn't even get a 60fps update for PS5. In other news, a new Dead by Daylight spinoff game, this one featuring four-player co-op, has been canceled. Apparently testing was already underway, but results were not up to the company's standards. And finally, Concord lives on! At least with one brave soul who is defying the Sony gods and contuing to run the game, despite having no one else to play with.

3 years, 4 months - Horizon Zero Dawn was first released on the PS4 in 2017.
