Horizon: Zero Dawn er blandt 2017's største succeshistorier, for spillet fik både ganske positive anmeldelser, og blev mødt med storslåede salgstal. Det lader til at forbrugerne var ret vilde med Guerrilla Games' nye serie, men blandt disse finder vi også en uventet fan.
Bethesdas marketingschef, Pete Hines, har nemlig for nylig udtrykt sin kærlighed til spillet igennem et interview med GamesRadar, der handler om at bryde fra traditionelle serier:
"I think you see a lot of developers do that, and quite honestly, if we didn't have folks break from it then you don't get Horizon: Zero Dawn. Like, how unbelievable is that game? And if [Guerrilla] just stayed on that path for what they were known for, you'd never get that game. Why would you ever think that [the creators of Killzone] would do crazy post-retro; futuristic but retro dinosaur. It might be my favorite game this year, and if they didn't break from what they had been doing and try something different, you'd never get that. I think that's true of a lot of studios, right? You don't get The Last of Us if [Naughty Dog] just kept churning out Uncharted games."
Faktisk bruger Hines spillet som eksempel på hvorfor Bethesda Softworks bør bryde med gamle serier som Elder Scrolls og Fallout. Synes du også at studiet bør lave noget helt nyt?
