How's your wifes boyfriend these days?

 

[Bryank75]

Yeah, how big is the statue though? I think the Thunderjaw is more iconic looking.

 

[Dragon_Rocks]

Am I reading it right? No physical disc in the collectors and regalla edition?

 

[Riky]

If you buy the PS4 version do you get a free upgrade?

 

[Kilau]

 

[Chukhopops]

For players looking to have access to both the PS4 & PS5 versions of Horizon Forbidden West, please purchase the Digital Deluxe, Collector’s, or Regalla Editions. Dual entitlement does not apply to the standard and Special Editions.

If you buy the PS4 version do you get a free upgrade?

Doesn’t look like it.

 

[Riky]

Doesn’t look like it.

Digital only with certain editions

It doesn't look like it for the collectors edition, you get a steelbook and a voucher code.

 

[rubhen925]

So no story content. Just a couple armor and outfits... meh. Standard it is. Steelbook looks nice

Ok, now call out the jews and say Biden has dementia. My bingo is close!

Thats the biggest bullshit ever. Pay huge amount and you don't even get a physical copy of the game.

 

[Riky]

Damn.

Was hoping for a Disc upgrade, still got my PS4 Pro in a bedroom. Better get Digital Deluxe then.

 

[GymWolf]

Is there a non-crossgen edition for any chance?!

 

[HTK]

I wish there was a game I was looking forward to so much where I would want to get the best edition of it.

 

[Banjo64]

The rest of your bingo card;

Boooooo

 

[GymWolf]

Boooooo

Yuuuuuuu

Did i won?!

 

[elliot5]

No upgrade path at all from PS4 to PS5? yikes. or maybe they just haven't detailed a $10 upgrade fee?

"For players looking to have access to both the PS4 & PS5 versions of Horizon Forbidden West, please purchase the Digital Deluxe, Collector’s, or Regalla Editions. Dual entitlement does not apply to the standard and Special Editions."

AND no disc for the expensive tiers but they give you a display steelbook? lol why..

 

[Deleted member 471617]

What are the chances of post launch expansions ala Frozen Wilds??? If they're planning on an expansion or two, I hope they announce it before the base game releases as I would then buy the game digitally but if not, it's a nice physical game purchase and trade in once I complete the game.

That's a kick in the balls to PS4 owners.

Gotta get the super expensive version for that "entitlement." Maybe the digital deluxe is $70, so that's how they justify that extra $10.

"Regalia" is a funny name for the most expensive edition.

 

[SegaShack]

Not hating on anyone getting this, but statues and figures have never been my thing.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Damn.

[Umbasaborne]

Sick, grabbed the regal edition. Cant wait for it to sit on my shelf and never get opened lol

 

[Gameplaylover]

AND no disc for the expensive tiers but they give you a display steelbook? lol why..

Lol, that's really strange. "We know you like to collect stuff, that's why you pay us 200+ bucks. Here's get an empty case".

 

[Bernd Lauert]

What are the chances of post launch expansions ala Frozen Wilds???

Very high. They're quick and easy to make so why not.

 

[Banjo64]

So what’s the price of the digital deluxe edition for the 1% of people that want to play this on both their PS4 and PS5? Seems bizarre that Sony are still paywalling this.

 

[Fake]

Am I seeing wrong or they're re-seling the carja set from the HZD?

LMAO you gotta pay not $10 to get the PS5 version from PS4 you gotta pay $20 ($79.99) to get the dual entitlement digital deluxe version. amazing

 

[Bartski]

hmmm this won't go down well

edit:

Horizon Forbidden West Standard Edition PS4 Version does not upgrade to a PS5 Version for free

To be honest it is a bit greedy yea i get it it takes money to make really good games, but these kind of moves make people complain about sony when Microsoft makes it so buy 1 game and play on any supported device.

[GrayDock]

Can't understand how the ultra-super-duper-editions don't come with the disc... Maybe it's because there's a PS4 disc and a PS5 disc, so it'll need two editions, but still. Steelbook PS5 it is then.

Not happy about this, Battlefield and Call Of Duty are both doing this as well.

 

[Punished Miku]

Not happy about this, Battlefield and Call Of Duty are both doing this as well.

EA, Activision and Sony leading the charge in unison I guess.

 

[elliot5]

isn't FIFA and 2K and such doing the same as opposed to last year's whack setup? greedy industry bastards

 

[SegaShack]

On XSX do you have separate game discs for current vs last gen?

 

[reksveks]

On XSX do you have separate game discs for current vs last gen?

Same disc generally apart from cod weirdly I think is the practice. It does lead to the situation where you have to download the series version of the game

Ah interesting. So it's up to the publisher I take it?

 

[elliot5]

damn I saw EA is going even further with a $99 required tier for cross gen. $89 with EA Play subs. YEESH. Glad I'll be playing BF2042 via EA Play or just for $60

 

[Cyborg]

These editions look amazing! I'm sad to see that the CE (I will be getting) has a digital copy only. As a collector of games its a big disappointment for me

 

[reksveks]

Ah interesting. So it's up to the publisher I take it?

Yeah, doesn't seem to have any platform mandates.

 

[SegaShack]

Yeah, doesn't seem to have any platform mandates.

That's disappointing. Are there any ps4 discs that upgrade for free to ps5?

 

[Papacheeks]

Where do we preorder the collectors edition? The link from PS BLOG just takes me to the digital page?

 

[Elios83]

It's either Digital Deluxe or Collector's for me.
Let's see the prices.

 

[michaelius]

Really shitty that you cannot upgrade ps4 version to ps5.

Still i'll wait for standard ps5 edition in shops.

LMAO you gotta pay not $10 to get the PS5 version from PS4 you gotta pay $20 ($79.99) to get the dual entitlement digital deluxe version. amazing

And if you’re in EU that’s 89.99€:

I know it’s an edge case for people wanting to upgrade but still...

If you buy the physical you get the steelcase and physical artbook.

I mean its been that price for my Ghost, Last of Us part 2?

To be honest I feel thats what Sony wants people to do. Them having the PS4 version is them throwing owners a bone who are not going to upgrade to PS5 anytime soon. But if you would rather buy it on PS5 I THINK thats their strat for next couple of major releases.
