Horizon Zero Dawn has sold well over 10 million copies worldwide (2 year anniversary update)
- Thread starter ArmGunar
- Start date
Yeah, can't wait to see what they do with PS5 for the sequel.
Zelda isn't that big a franchise. BotW is the outlier
BotW also has 65 million or so less users to sell to
what? the zelda franchise has sold more than these:
resident evil
tom clancy's
gran turismo
dragon quest
halo
tomb raider
battlefield
metal gear
monster hunter
smash bros
elder scrolls
street fighter
mortal kombat
kingdom hearts
tony hawk
god of war
counter strike
etc
are you telling me these aren't big franchises either?
It just matters both selling crazy good and that is good for us. Showing to bring great singleplayer games can make a lot of money.
Some of those IP are not big at least by today level.
Plus Zelda has been around a long time but per game it was not a huge seller .
i mean they will still be called big franchises, zelda is a big franchise by any definition, even before botw was a thing.
Congrats GG! Definitely my favorite game of this generation although GOW and BOTW are up there as well.
For the sequel:
-please let us ride robo Dinos and also incoporate some elements of Dragons Dogma/SotC (mounting big enemies to kill them).
- look at Asscreed Odyssey to see how they can better integrate ranged combat with melee.
-I would also like some metroidvania elements. For example you can't scale mountains until you kill a saberclaw and craft special claws that let you climb on trees and mountains.
-better crafting, let us craft weapons and stuff from the things we kill like giving us the ability to fly / glide with the wings of glinthawks
-give us towns to explore, sleep in beds and change time
-add some monster hunter co op opportunities
-give us hidden bosses
- more dungeons that force us to use special items (ala Zelda)
- more melee weapons

Ahhhh, I remember the concern trolling this game would suck because it was made by the same people that made Killzone: Shadowfall.
Now, two years and 10 million copies later, people are somehow "concerned" that the game maybe did not make money. Really?!

Well deserved. I haven't been this hooked by a game's story and backstory in a long time. I love the world and history that they created.
Plays and looks great, too.

Same. The story is a huge part of made this game great for me.
if there is a thing that they don't need to watch as an ispiration is ac combat onestly...the ranged is just okay and the melee is mediocre at best.
HZD is one of those game I'll never uninstall from my PS4, it's just that good.
One of the best games I've ever played. Congrats GG.

Damn, feels like I put it down to play something else a short time ago and never got around to going back...whoops.
I did like the game at first and planned to finish it, but my problem with it ended up being exactly what I expected would happen back when I saw the reveal trailer. The trailer caught my attention because what I love about Monster Hunter is learning the ins and outs, the quirks and habits of monsters in order to take them down more effectively. The game certainly had that, but the issue is that big budget AAA games assume players are idiots and make it all optional and too easy. I feared I'd find some way to trivialize the game and all the cool tricks (like sliding between something's legs and shooting a fuel tank) would get thrown out the window. After I figured out how to kill the big T-rex Zoid in about 20 seconds on hard mode I realized I'd hit that point. And then I started Zelda...

Overhyped . most undeserving game ever to sell that much . Just my opinion , ain't here to bait or start a war ...
I love HZD and I haven't played BOTW, but I do wish it (and BOTW since it happened) invented a better way of doing that.
To be fair, I only encountered it in the DLC for HZD. I don't think that ever happened to me during the base game.
Loved it, and I've actually been itching to replay it recently. I can't wait to see what a sequel looks like.
I almost hope the next one isn't a PS5 launch game because launch games never age well, but hopefully I'll be proven wrong.

People are still getting hooked by the story to this day:
TTFW a exclusive new ip outsold Capcom best
It's kinda amazing when you think about it, an exclusive new ip outsold Capcom's best selling multiplatform game to date
that's nothing short of amazing!
oh it's already bigger than Halo, it probably sold more than Halo 4 and 5 combined

*punches you in the face* I'm not here to punch you in the face or anything like that
Man if last gen you told me a sony first party new ip gonna sell over 10m I would call you crazy. This generation sony did things unbelievably insane with its fp games sales wise.
It is a good game, one of the best looking games of the generation with very fun combat.
Cant wait to play the unavoidable follow up, hopefully it fixes a couple of my own gripes with the game :P

That's great! I thought the game was pretty good. I just hope there are more ride-able Zoids machines in the sequel.
I mean I can kill Lynels in Zelda by spamming Statis+ on them without taking damage. It's still very fun to do :). Also play HZD on Ultra Hard, it will kick your ass.
Sliding between something's legs to shoot a canister was never really the most viable trick. If anything, being able to freeze and then spam multiple arrows is the combo that I used the most.
Overhyped? Okay your opinion. Most undeserving game ever to sell that much though?
Obviously he's not lying, but these numbers have some kind of asterisk to them. Maybe he's counting DLC sales and the game was bundled more than I thought.
The game came out around the same time as BotW and that game has been charting ever since, while Horizon fell off pretty fast. They really shouldn't be close in sales.

Maybe a band of unicorns bought up all the stock.
In what territory are we talking about? The 5 or 6k that BotW is still doing in Japan? Or are we talking about territories that sort by revenue? If so, BotW is still 60 bucks everywhere I've seen.
What PS3 first party game other than TLoU ever reach the 10 million mark? Meanwhile on PS4 (with more or less the same amount of installed base as the PS3 rn) they already have a handful of first party games above the 10m and TLoU2 isn't even out yet.
Anyway, fully deserved. Horizon is still the best Sony produced game on PS4 to date and my favorite open world game of this generation second only to BotW.

If you mean charting on NPD, IIRC it's not by units.
I think that's why Minecraft isn't charting anymore. Someone correct more of I'm wrong.
