srpg and 3d platformers and then Sony's first party would have its hand in pretty much every single genre.
I'm joking, kind of.
While this may present itself as an opportunity to flesh out the actual lore, it may end up diluting the franchise. Plus, I do not fully trust them to do justice to a franchise filled with such potential for they have failed to do so over the last two whole generations just because they might delve into a new genre.Originally Posted by davepoobond
What about kill zone RPG?
Truth be told, after The Last of Us, which alongside Fallout New Vegas, Planescape Torment, Beyond Two Souls, The Witcher series, have tried to elevate the story telling prowess and maturity of the medium, it's hard to go back to the devs of KZ expecting a great story when the best they have done (according to multiple reviews) with KZSF is mediocre one.
Still, the inclusion of an Obsidian member gives me hope. However, as aforementioned, I really hope it's not in the fantasy genre (which I think is a cop out).
If they were going to work on a new type of game in the KZ universe, I'd rather they worked on a squad-based first person strategy (a mix of Republic Commando and Band of Brothers).Originally Posted by davepoobond

But yeah, I agree with Derrick: it's better if they go for a new IP. Take something that looks like Deus Ex and marry it with a Fallout-type RPG. Bonus point if they make it scary like System Shock.
I'd love them to stay semi-sci-fi.
I mean I love fantasy too, but I really love what they are able to do with the sci-fi aesthetic in Killzone.
Or... Like historic would really bowl me over, but I'm not holding my breath.

I am always interested in more RPGs, but I will keep my expectations low. Not trying to take a jab at Guerrilla Games(I am not very familiar with most of their work), it's just that there are only a few developers who have proven they can make good RPGs.

After playing Shadow Fall, my expectations are low. Horrible story, but what's worse is that it has some of the most idiotic game design I've seen in quite awhile.
I haven't played Shadow Fall, but I have played their previous games, and while I wouldn't call their design "idiotic", I would agree that they need not only a good writer (which it seems like they have one now) but a proper game director/designer.After playing Shadow Fall, my expectations are low.

GG definitely needs help creating an interesting world, telling a good story and creating memorable characters. Hiring this guy is a start in that direction but they need to do much more. I lost some faith in them after playing Shadow Fall.

It's sounding like destiny or fallout. I'd rather a third person open world game but it's sounding interesting.
Play Shadow Fall first and then we can talk about the design decisions I'm referring to (for example pretty much all of chapter 8 is god-awful). The entire game vacillates between middling shooter (sorry, but the AI is atrocious) and just outright stupid gameplay decisions that appear to have been created to break up the monotony of the shooting, and for the most part fail miserably. Graphically its quite nice.Originally Posted by FunkyPajamas

It could always be connected to the world of Killzone without sharing the name. They show way too much excellence in vehicle design to go to waste, but the story of Killzone has been thoroughly mediocre through and through.
See above, UNCMark knows what's up. Shadowfall delivers on absolutely none of the promise of increased variety and variability in battles and goes to add shitty non-shooting segments to the mix. A very poor showing in their single player. Multiplayer is still butter, but it does lack a variety I would have liked... but everyone else hates vehicles.

So, an open world RPG shooter? :P

But seriously, I can't wait until this thing is revealed. A new writer and a new setting is what I felt like Guerrilla always needed. A soft reboot if you will.

It was a launch game I guess. There's so much going against them being any good. I am not surprised Killzone isn't that great. None of the launch games are really.
But there has to be a whole new creative team behind this IP, because they've been hiring for it for years. It's not the Killzone bunch.

I wouldn't mind seeing a darksun RPG kind of like fallout
Well, he could have at least mentioned he found the story on GAF. Damn freelancers!Originally Posted by coolasj19
