It definitely has a Destiny-ish vibe to it.

The concept art has a similar palette and finish to it, but so does other art like that from Mass Effect 3, or that of Parasite Eve 3, IIRC. I suppose it will look a lot more distinct in actual video game form than in art.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Oh, actually it looks pretty damn cool! Even better then those older artworks that once was believed to be about their game. I really likes those!

 

[Mikey Jr.]

2015 is officially armageddon.

 

[Uno Venova]

what do gamers think is cool? let's add them all

 

[MikeE21286]

Sure, vikings and mechs, why not.

Lets just mix random shit together, post apocalyptic mermaids and mummies, whatever.

Lol kinda my first thought


Maybe time travel is involved?

 

[Facundo_Lopez]

Horizon is a Brand new game from GG to be revealed in TGS. A monster hunter co-op kind developed for.......

Spoiler

VITA. BELIEVE!!

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Killzone series were some of the most enjoyable games I played last generation, look forward to seeing more of this down the line.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

I imagine you get to ride a cyber T-Rex or something, and use the guns mounted on it to unleash devastating dino destruction against all and sundry.

And maybe this game will shed more light on the immortal battle between the T-Rex and the Stegosaurus., a battle which all normal people would have been obsessing over the outcome as a child. Like, is the Stegosaurus' tail a viable weapon against the T-Rex's devastating bite? Just what does a T-Rex use those pathetic toddler arms for? Etc

 

[Slowdive]

Looks good.

 

[Haxxona]

First impression is that it looks mughty delicious!

 

[Empty]

well that's some embarrassing art

a shooter monster hunter type game where you fight metal gears in the snow could be cool though

 

[Triggerhappytel]

It was also rumored that development on Killzone: Shadowfall and the new IP started at the same time, so this could very well be in development for 4 years at this point.
Why not 2015 then?

Fair enough, although I don't think Guerrilla is big enough to have two games in full development at the same time. Again, I have no evidence to back this up, I just have a feeling it's unlikely to hit next year.

 

[Oppo]

Yup and its so tasteless. Reeks of design by commitee with a sprinkle of Chinese outsourcing.

I would expect more from the art team at GG. Killzone might have been boring for some but it was reasonably well art directed and cohesive.

Even my fully-GAF-calloused mind has a hard time comprehending the pure snivelling cynicism of s post like this. holy shitballs.

it's concept art. like.... man.

 

[Eggbok]

Looks like a mess at this point. I mean robo dinosaurs and arrows... Ok?

In Ninja Gaiden Ryu used arrows against a tank and Helicopter, it can totally work.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Lol why 'embarrassing'?

 

[UnderWaterTree]

natives vs mechs

 

[Shredderi]

Yes ! I almost had forgotten techno viking. Time to go on youtube.

You and me both buddy! I'm fond of the Guile theme version myself.

 

[wmlk]

Looks so lush! Extremely hyped.

 

[Servbot24]

Looks pretty goofy, which is fine. I hope GG do something worth their time. I wonder if there is any chance of TGS reveal (probably not).

 

[Chobel]

Shinobi said they had a trailer ready for E3 but decided not to show it.

Shinobi said it's not 2015.

 

[Takiyah]

You're right. But, the thing is, it worked on me. /Imtheproblem

 

[mckmas8808]

assasins creed guy riding a dinobot fighting the girl from heavenly sword. Are we sure this isn't fan art?

It looks so good, I can't believe this might actually be a thing.

 

[Give War A Chance]

Hnnnnngggg...

2015 is looking so great. It's going to be a real drain on cash.

 

[delSai]

Holy shit this looks amazing. Robodinos = Sold

 

[Bold One]

This is Destiny, done right. Why bother making a stupid sci-fi world in a pseudo-serious way and FAIL, when you may build something brutally absurd and amazing on purpose.

The mindfuckness in those pics is above anything I've seen. And I fucking love it.

I'm only missing Nazis in those concepts.

It kind of reminded me to the master of all absurd-driven projects Kung Fury, and that can only be good.

jumping the gun a bit there aren't we?

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

A redheaded female protagonist? Yes!
Robo dino? Yes!

Uncharted, God of War, Killzone, Resistance, LBP. Waaay to many of the big Sony-developed games share this characteristic. However, there are exceptions (like Team ICO and Demons Souls), so I am hopeful this game will be more like those than the first-mentioned.

That is not true whatsoever. Killzone, UC, GOW Resistance have great gameplay.

 

[Fersis]

Sure, vikings and mechs, why not.

Lets just mix random shit together, post apocalyptic mermaids and mummies, whatever.

Are you hating on Red headed girls too? ARE YOU HATING ON EMMA STONE BRO? NOT COOL.

 

[bigJaffa]

Dino Riders the game!

[Nightengale]

4 years is a misleading timeline to base any assumptions on either.

How long in that 4 years spent on pre-production? A project spending a long time in pre-production easily bloats up the length of a game's development, even if the number of people working on the game are minimal with almost no assets created. New IPs are also in pre-production longer than your average game. Uncharted 1 was a whole year of pre-production, and if I'm not wrong, TLoU was longer than that. So games do get stuck in a quagmire of relative low productivity for healthy amount of time.

Furthermore, we know that the Shadowfall team moved onto development of the new IP, which means that there wasn't a full-team working on the new IP before SF shipped.

 

[Morfeo]

I'm not going to defend Killzone but the first Resistance was a really fun game. And Uncharted has gotten better gameplay wise with each iteration. I didn't play Ascension but people have said gameplay wise it's the best one as well. Opinions and all of that. And the controls in Team ICO games are not its strong suit at all so it's interesting you bring up those games as an example of the opposite.

Yeah, I guess its about opinions as you say. I agree the controls in Team ICO games havent been the best, but I bring them up more because of the kind of challenge they offer. You need to use your head to bring down those colossi, and the same is true when escaping with Yorda - and in both games the challenges presented are varied and really well designed (imo), while in a game like Uncharted, you enter a "room", take cover, shoot a bunch of dudes, take their ammo, shoot some more, and move on without much variation which is why I mentioned that.

Anyways, I dont want to derail this thread any further - I just hope this game will be awesome like everybody else!

 

[FallenGrace]

Looks like it could be epic and hilarious if true...

 

[sora87]

well that's some embarrassing art

Lol wut? I'd kill to have even a quarter of that talent.

 

[dralla]

Definitely looks cool, and I can appreciate yet another red haired female protagonist. But this is GG so I won't allow myself to get too excited just yet. Oh god please be good, whatever it is

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Sure, vikings and mechs, why not.

Samurai as well.

 

[Imouto]

Lol why 'embarrassing'?

People are just lacking in imagination nowadays. I'm glad that we didn't stumble upon this stage 20 years ago, otherwise the gaming would be dead.

Or they just hate GG in general.

 

[Gskyace]

Cool, just arrived in Tokyo.

 

[King Gilga]

A) Looks like zoids

B) Vikings

C) She's wearing pants.

Yeah I'm looking forward to this, whatever it is.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

that looks awesome, hoping its an action rpg like witcher. have 0 faith in this game though

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Looks almost like a parody of video games haha.

I'm really interested to see what this ends up being

 

[Empty]

Lol why 'embarrassing'?

they can't even create a clear image. just ruined the scenery with these embarrassing A9VG everywhere. what's up with that? are they trying to say it's in something like the matrix?

Spoiler

i just find it way too much between the amount of pandering and the business of it in colour, elements. it looks incredibly tacky, like a trashy sci-fi novel cover. mainly reacting to the top one, i missed the other which is not so embarrassing.

i think kz2 has some of the best and most effective art direction in any action game *shrug*

 

[GuitarAtomik]

That looks bonkers. I like it.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Yes that looks really compelling.

 

[Gbraga]

Please be stupid. PLEASE BE STUPID.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Do we know anything about the gameplay in this? So tired of how Sony-games always tend to look fantastic, but play mediocre, so really hope this will be a great exclusive that can help justify me buying a PS4 for Bloodborne.

Uncharted, God of War, Killzone, Resistance, LBP. Waaay to many of the big Sony-developed games share this characteristic. However, there are exceptions (like Team ICO and Demons Souls), so I am hopeful this game will be more like those than the first-mentioned.

I disagree that Sony games tend to play mediocre; God of War is excellent; Killzone and Resistance are both as good as the competition (unless you can explain exactly how they're mediocre compared to, say, COD or Battlefield?); LBP plays great, although a lot of people dislike the jumping physics and that's fair enough. The hyperbole is strong with your comments.

How about a new IP from the unbelievable talented Cambridge Studio crew?
I mean seriously.... enough with Killzone already!
There are six different Killzone games on PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP and Vita.
Let it rest and let the Cambridge crew make their own game, dammit.

STOP WITH KILLZONE, SONY!!

I would like Cambridge to make something different, but I don't see that happening any time soon. While I think the series is bland and the storytelling has been fuckawful so far, I thought Mercenary was a really solid effort so I'd like see their ambition and resources extend for another effort.

The top one actually has pretty good local focus for a concept art, with small amount of contrast in color enough to make you notice the 2 main points of the concept, the dinosaur which is revealing its both weakness and dangerous part, the mouth, and the main character, the heroine. In the artistic view, I think it's a splendid art when you look at it as concept art. Not to tacky, since everything else has color scheme blended into the environment.

Really, it does look like you're just trying to nitpick about it.

Do you not know what a watermark is? Look at the name of the bloody website.

 

[vpance]

I see the pics now. That looks crazy! I hope they can pull it off.

 

[Agent Matt]

That looks glorious!

 

[Lgndryhr]

Looks good, but the last Killzone soured me.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Fuck, I just imagined this playing like a dinosaur version of Dragon's Dogma and now I'm incredibly hyped
