The fan feels that the budget for a TV series will be much more limited, surely hampering the production quality. In general, God of War is perhaps the best PlayStation IP and a massive hit among fans.korii@koriibliss@BenjiSales Horizon and God of War should be film series but whatever. The scale of those games will not be properly represented with TV budgets. Horizon and God of War are epics that need next level CGI to feel authentic.9@BenjiSales Horizon and God of War should be film series but whatever.

The fan also wants the series to show how humanity fell and what were the events that led to it.Switch 🤟🔥@LuisN_94@BenjiSales I’m really hoping the Horizon series starts off during Elisabeth Sobeck’s timeline, showing us the creation of Zero Dawn and the downfall of humanity. Would be awesome to see and a perfect jumping off point for newcomers to the franchise!752@BenjiSales I’m really hoping the Horizon series starts off during Elisabeth Sobeck’s timeline, showing us the creation of Zero Dawn and the downfall of humanity. Would be awesome to see and a perfect jumping off point for newcomers to the franchise!In contrast, one Twitter user thinks that the TV series should follow Aloy and keep the background story as a mystery.DarkSirius@The_Darksirius@LuisN_94 @BenjiSales I think the story should still be about Aloy's world. It keeps the mystery of &quot;what happened&quot; to humanity intact. That's what made the narrative in the game so interesting.25@LuisN_94 @BenjiSales I think the story should still be about Aloy's world.

The usual trend with such decisions is that the IP owners lease/rent it to a single production house instead of multiple ones.𝕬𝔍 🥀@GRIMMYRAX@BenjiSales It’s interesting how Sony is putting all of their IP’s movies and shows in different places. I’d prefer it if they just struck a deal with somebody like HBO Max (they already have a deal with Netflix) and put all their stuff in one place but I’m excited nonetheless.10@BenjiSales It’s interesting how Sony is putting all of their IP’s movies and shows in different places.

I’ll wait until we get a cast announced for Horizon to see if it is a massive L or a pass. For the love of God u don’t want some hot garbage Sony, do not do it wrong.2@BenjiSales Okay… Okay.

Some tend to think that the overall setting will be perfect, but hopefully, Netflix won't make the same mistakes that Paramount did with the Halo series.Toriksta🇱🇾 | セージ | #Persona25thHYPE@toriksta@BenjiSales A Horizon series sounds cool as heck!
