Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed a lawsuit against Tencent over its upcoming game Light of Motiram, with Sony saying it is a “slavish clone” of the Horizon series.

    Sony aren’t kidding, that trailer literally looks like Horizon down to the small details. It’s not even funny how 1-to-1 it is.

      Seriously, it looks like they took a slightly different build of the game, pasted a new face on Aloy, added a few animals, and literally changed nothing else at all. Like not even scanning effects. Doesn’t the last one even have hanggliding?

      That’s not to say it looks bad, it could easily just play like a spin-off, but even the regions look similar.

      Tbh, though, I really hate how Horizon scaled the combat difficulty with unending spamming AOE attacks.

        Horizon 1 was excellent, part 2 was too much. Kinda like Jedi survivor, we went from a somewhat small game to one 10x the size. I couldn’t even finish it

          I liked pretty much everything about it except that harder combat just meant spamming meteors at you, like Thanos and Iron Man. If they throw another moon at me, Im gonna lose it. It’s such damn lazy design.

        It’s not a hang glider exactly but like an energy field parachute thing, but yes slow falling is a mechanic they introduced in the second one
