This is the most realistic expectation.
UC4 is going to end up north of 12 million LTD. Horizon ain't even coming close to that.

I think its going to do TLOU like numbers at the end of the year its going to be 6+ million sold.

Do people want expansion or dlc for horizon? I kinda want them to jump straight to sequel development. For bigger better and improved Horizon 2. Hopefully they could make it for 2019 release.

I think one decent sized DLC/expansion will do. Something akin to Bloodborne's The Old Hunter.

DLC/Expansions can be done by smaller teams and is also a great way to test new mechanics. But who knows what they wanna do.
It doesn't have to be an either/ or proposition.
Writers and concept artist might have been already at work for months on an expansion/ DLC, which now can turn to actual production, while the pre production teams can switch to a sequel if greenlit (I imagine it would be easily).

OK....wasn't really interested in this game but based on all those reviews, I can't deny it. Went ahead and preordered this..
I haven't bought a game at retail launch since Overwatch.....I typically wait till theres a sale...especially on a single player game....
I hope the positive reviews around this game doesn't let me down.

None of that, I want CD Projekt treat: Pacthes that improve item management and stuff like that, refinement. Maybe a new robot here and there? But I understand if that breaks the game though.
To be fair a bunch of those sales were from bundles that were on sale. That said I'm still sure that standalone Uncharted 4 would still handily outsell Horizon.

I hope we get to see Expansion Packs like The Witcher 3's Hearts of Stone/Blood And Wine. After the well deserved rest for everyone at GG of course.

Sales are sales dude, they aren't giving those out for free.
How about both like CDPR did? I mean they did do those small patches that improved stuff. But they also offered DLC as well. If Horizon is as good as it sounds (and only a 50 hour game <- yes, I know some of you like that), I'm going to want more to play.
I'd almost echo this except I managed to get tuesday off to wait for my game in trade for working monday. And we have a lot of theft in my neighborhood so I'd rather be there to get the package.

Mmmm nope, in that case I prefer them to focus on a sequel, at this point I think we'll see Horizon 2 at the same time that Cyberpunk 2077.

I enjoy open world games, and this really seems like my cup of tea, but a big factor in my enjoyment of exploring these worlds is use of ambient music. TW3 and AC2 are among my favorites for this very reason. Needless to say, I'm curious to see how Horizon implements this.
Is there any footage someone can link me to that would give me a solid idea of what the music is like when simply roaming or exploring?

How often does Amazon deliever Collectors editions early? Never?
I see some mention some glitches but not many at all.

Yeah I think so too! Not surpassing UC4 ltd though but it could do phenomenal like TLOU.
I've not played it yet like 99.9999% on the planet but for me, i'd like them to get straight on with the 2nd...Pretty sure they have a story Arm mapped out...They have good info on what to fix from the 1st and i think even more so now Sony will basically let them get on with it with zero interference...
Will you guys stop with this? How do you think most Halo games got the sales they did? Hell Forza has been bundle fodder for most of its existence. What do you think Knack 2 is? Do we bring up damn bundles for ever game? Hell even GTA V was bundled at various points. In fact, GTA V launched with PS3 bundles.
Agreed, but in this context we're talking about the strength of the brand, and purchase of a game through a bundle isn't always 100% representative of that.
I'm not putting down UC4's success in any way whatsoever. Insanely good game that is actually underrated (best story pacing in any game I've played). It deserves every sale.
Ah, I disagree. I want DLC. Sorry. And as some one said, that won't stop them from making a Horizon 2. Also, I hope they don't release Horizon 2 and Cyberpunk near each other. I don't want to have to choose.
For me never (I'm never that lucky though as I said considering thieves in my neighborhood may not be lucky if they send it early) But they also are very good about getting it same day with me... In fact the last few they sent the day before even though they claimed they would start sending it days earlier (they claim the 24th is when they'll ship it. I suspect that UPS will say in sent for pickup status on the 24th until the day before it is supposed to be sent).
One of the better Aloy cosplayers I have seen, retweeted by Guerrilla:

Then they vote.
I asked them on Twitter if they plan to release extension like TW3'ones if the game sells well

Doubt it, UC4 is close to 10 million right now. Horizon could get relatively close mind.

One thing to keep in mind is that Guerrilla has said their engine is fantastic and extremely well-optimized, not only with regard to visuals and performance, but also quest creation. Forget where it was, but they discussed that they can very quickly write quests and implement them, which should shorten future dev time a bit.
I want meaty DLC because I want to spend as much time in this world with Aloy as possible. There are a whole lot of directions they could go with the lore and story, even though the narrative is nice and self-contained on its own.

Kinda Funny Games spoiler free review was absolutely gushing about the story. Colin Moriarty said it's one of the best video game stories.
Podcast Beyond was equally gushing about the combat.

Can't wait for this guy's based review. Green light from you is literally all I need to go out and get a game.

Truly feels like a long wait, my hype levels are as high as they were for Skyrim, if not higher
Sounds like it deserves every penny.

I remember so many posts in previews saying they were betting the story sucked. I saw who they hired for the script and had no doubts.
Add me to that list. Picked up a 4k TV too.

Yeah, that's fine and all, but BROM SCENE

I think its the other way around. If it was something like Wii Sports where it came with every Wii console, I would agree with you.
But thats not the case here, people chose to buy that bundle, when they could get others, or even no bundle at all, so it shows that people are attracted to the Uncharted brand.

Same here. I originally had it for pickup until I kept hearing about people getting theirs early so i switched my order for shipping. /pray

Well, let me play the game and I'll tell you. I mean, I loved Hear of Stone, Left Behind, The Old Hunters, eager to play Lost Legacy but I'm not a fan of dlc, I prefer new games but I understand the desire to spend more time in some worlds.
