Not first party, not first party, also not first party, not really cinematic, but suuuure. And if Horizon is a cinematic game, so is Halo.

And he's still contradicting himself, because he says that out of all Sony's first parties, he only likes Naughty Dog's games, but hates cinematic games. It's as if I'd say "I hate multiplayer FPSs, but I love CoD".....

If the IP is owned by Sony than it is first party and yes Halo singleplayer campaign is cinematic.

The only company that never made a cinematic game is Nintendo (and I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing, I wouldn't mind seeing them make one, variety is the spice of life). Metroid Prime 3 is the closest thing they made to a cinematic game. Or maybe Metroid Fusion, it has the best Alien atmosphere of the entire franchise (the movie the franchise was inspired on).

 

There isn't a set definition for cases where a platform holder owns the IP but it's made by a 3rd party developer. And even so, you still can't claim that Sony's 1st party devs have a focus on making cinematic games, because the only Sony first party developer that does is Naughty Dog. What makes Halo (and Horizon) cinematic games? Is it because they have cutscenes? Actually, before we continue, can we establish what the hell a cinematic game even is?
