tbh Horizon is just Crysis with a bunch of robot dinosaurs.

That's the most inaccurate thing I heard all month. Congrats. 

it's just a bunch of trees and nature, man.

Holy shit, I've described it as an Ubisoft clone since I played it but you're right LOL.

Either way it's not super original or anything.

It has a little bit of everything Sony has delivered including far cry. Anyone who has played it can see aspects uncharted, killzone, far cry. In terms of originality it might not but it raised the bar extremely high and now if any third parties want to bring back a Dinosaur game the horizon method will be the blue print.



Skyline: Infinite Dusk?

In some alternate universe where Far Cry Primal doesn't exist, sure. I mean... Horizon already borrows loads of elements of Ubi's open world games.



Good choice of design for a game, but strange to use a game from your competitor on your hiring list... seems like the use of TR as a UC counter

Yes yes... Cancelled game is better in all aspects than HZD. HZD is basically a Crysis with Robots or Assassin's Creed: Dino Version... must be the reason why MS used HZD as an example to the game they are making.

I guess Uncharted is just like Pitfall but with a darker color pallete.

I attributed far cry to a list of games that they gained inspiration from. Oh wait I forgot... Microsoft fan. Limited library .
