This could be much better if they choose over shoulder camera gameplay, just like original. Top down view is lame.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Surely this is the kind of game where they could have made an exception, especially considering it's targeting switch.

Studio Gabo, so not Sony.
Sony must have just licensed the IP out.

Looks really great and fun, it's good that with Astrobot and Lego Sony is targeting more family oriented titles this year.
They're also building a nice lineup for the rest of the year given that this was supposed to be the 'off' year for them.
Surprised about the Switch but probably Lego had a say in it and Sony licensed the IP out, it makes sense for the success of the game.

PS4 isn't (apparently) being made as of December 2023, they don't need to release it there.

Switch is surprising...
It's cool though. Going to buy my gf a Switch 2 and just told her we can play this game together.
Also, lol @ no Xbox.

I assume that's part of the situation. (I can't tell if Sony or LEGO is publishing this? Either way, it could well be a subcontract deal like MLB where additional platforms were requested for the rights, and in this crazy new world of no platform barriers, Sony went along with the multiplat plan.)
Well, the sales demographics tend to not be there on Xbox. Young gamers aren't plentiful on Xbox, and sometimes kid games skip the platform. This would be an extreme instance (LEGO games aren't "kids games", ) but I could see the math being done to set platforms without Xbox purely because of sales projections.
...But also, Xbox might have some clauses for platform announcements if any of these SGF games are also in their show next week. Would be weird to re-debut this at an Xbox show, but if it's in the Game Pass sizzle reel, maybe they couldn't list it for Xbox today. That's happened before, I belive, with like Persona games or something like that.
PS4 doesn't move units anymore. When it does or when it's easy (or when a product is expected to sell well in territories with lasting past-gen consumers, like Japan,) a developer adds in the older version where possible. Here, no reason to. "Power" makes no difference either way.

Yeah, may have been a Lego requirement, similar to MLB licensing requiring to be on all platforms.

Eh, "co- developed" is a bit of an overstatement, I'm sure. They may have developed story and lent producer oversight, but I doubt they touched or provided any code, maybe not even any assets. Game is being made on Unreal by an external studio.
BTW, external developer Studio Gobo has an interesting background. They don't have any games that they were primary developers on AFAIK, but they've done a bunch of codev work on Hogwarts Legacy and Redfall and For Honor and other stuff. They were also for a while making Disney Infinity packs (they did some Star Wars and Marvel and Pirates ones, and had a Moana pack at 80% done for D:I 4.0 when Disney pulled the Infinity plug) so they've kind of done games like LEGO before.
We Create | Studio Gobo
We are deeply passionate about quality and the games we develop.

...And fun trivia, in the way back times, their founders were of Black Rock Games, makers of Pure and Split/Second.

The problem with this game IMO is that the IP kind of stinks. The appeal of these Lego games is playing around with a ton of characters. Marvel, LOTR, Star Wars, whatever.
I played HZD (never finished tho) and couldn’t name one single character besides Aloy.

So sony went to lego for the license.

This is Sony trying to wean the younger Nintendo players onto Sony IP. Obviously Horizon isn't for young kids but maybe we'll see a shift to Lego on older demographic IP like Uncharted and Sony might look at making more Astro type games on Playstation to make the Playstation kid friendly too.

Lego Chorizo ? 
Well it looks fun.
Well it looks fun.
Which is pretty dumb... Nothing prevent them from releasing the game on PS4.

Graphically it looks great. Should sell well with being on switch. Not sure if I will ever play it. Again why some people so upset this being on multiple platforms? It's a LEGO game using a PlayStation IP. Nothing more.

Another MLB the show case where SIE doesn’t own the IP (Lego) and the game goes Multiplatform.
Then we have a lot of people saying SIE is going full Multiplatform just like when the show started releasing on Switch and Xbox

I really don't understand how someone comes to this conclusion
SIE owns Horizon they didn't own MLB
Terrible analogy here

Not a game for me, I've enjoyed other lego games in the past but this trailer just didn't show me any of that charm, of course all the ones I played were LOTR or Star Wars based, I loved the first Horizon game but Forbidden West had such a terrible story that it's turned me off on the series.

Guerrilla games logo is the first thing you see in that trailer. This is co-developed. This isn’t Lego coming to SIE to ask them for a Horizon game. This is a SIE published game releasing on PC and a Nintendo console on day one.

It's probably nuanced, as it's a Lego game using the Horizon license.
I highly doubt Sony called Lego and suggested to make a game for Nintendo.

Getting into conjecture there that's not worth debating to me

That’s why I put Lego IP and not Horizon.
Aloy and Kratos are also in fornite for Nintendo Switch and other platforms.
