GoW 4 will be early 2017.

I think it will be a Holiday 2016 title, Spring 2017 will probably be Sucker Punch's title. God of War 4 began development in 2013.

 

[Angel_DvA]

Amazing game so far, the next Big IP for Sony if everything goes right.

Playstation Access just uploaded those two videos for Horizon Zero Dawn.

What they didn't show at the conference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdGgeGY6nLc

- The Thunderjaw has 550k polygons.
- It has 93 plates of armor that can be attacked individually.
- It has two major weak points, the "power core" in the heart, & "AI Core" in the head.
- The game is "very much an RPG".
- You can "quick craft" arrow heads for the bow.
- There's towns, villages, & quests.
- Crafting is a major component of the game.
- The game is targeting 2016.
- The combat is described as "tactical".
- Every single location seen in the trailer is explorable.
- The RPG elements will not slow down the combat.
- Aloy's "job" is a machine huntress.
- The "Combat" & "RPG" are both very big parts of the game.

A lot of that is old info, but there's some new info as well.

 

[IAmRandom31]

I'm still not sold on all of these first party games from Sony coming out next year. Horizon is my most anticipated though

As House said, 2016 will be a harvest year. Lots of first party projects releasing.

 

[Daingurse]

Machine Huntress sounds so fucking badass. I also really like them reinforcing the fact that this game is an RPG, as that's exactly what I want.

 

[Lemondish]

I hope they make one more that's a prequel where everything kicks off between Earth Colony and the OG Vektans.

I don't care where they go with it, I'm in either way.

I'm still thinking Cambridge will take over. They were beefing themselves up over several months so I can't imagine the only thing they're doing is an arena shooter for Morpheus.

 

[hemtae]

I'm not sold on the RPG stuff but I'm willing to listen.

 

[5taquitos]

I have not been this excited about a new IP in a very long time. 2016 can't come soon enough

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Beautiful.

Absolutely blows me away how much they nailed the feel of the concept art in the actual game:

Very impressive.

 

[Alo0oy]

I don't care where they go with it, I'm in either way.

I'm still thinking Cambridge will take over. They were beefing themselves up over several months so I can't imagine the only thing they're doing is an arena shooter for Morpheus.

Cambridge is pretty small, only 70 people work there.

There should be one more major weak point, if you know what I mean.

 

[Loudninja]

So are those things giraffes?

 

[kiguel182]

At this point I just need them to tell me there's a good story behind it and that quests are interesting and I'm there day one.

They seem to have a great lore to explore, I'm crossing my fingers they do a good service to said lore.

Cannot wait.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Don't forget Sony Bend. Where does their project fit in? Shu said he is playing it and Gravity Rush 2 already.

 

[Alo0oy]

I'm not sold on the RPG stuff but I'm willing to listen.

I thought we were over this "the game is not an RPG" thing days ago after all the new info we got?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

So are those things giraffes?

the disc-heads and parabola plates around their tails lead me to believe they might be some kind of moving comm-towers?

No idea. Strange design, but I'm sure there will be 'reasons'.

 

[krypt0nian]

This was truly the Gaming Christ Child of new IP announced.

 

[BouncyFrag]

The machines are her wife.

 

[Eggbok]

Don't be delayed to 2017 please.

They've been working on Horizon since Killzone 3, I honestly don't expect them to delay it. Definitely see this as a Holiday 2016 game since Uncharted is early 2016.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Don't forget Sony Bend. Where does their project fit in? Shu said he is playing it and Gravity Rush 2 already.

Is the Sony Bend project the hinted-at 'open world horror' title?

I don't even know how that could work, but I'm already intrigued.

 

[Loudninja]

Yeah love the designs in the game so far.

 

[Alo0oy]

Don't forget Sony Bend. Where does their project fit in? Shu said he is playing it and Gravity Rush 2 already.

& Japan Studio's JRPG. 2016-2017 could be the PS4's version of 2009-2010.

 

[Callibretto]

There should be one more major weak point, if you know what I mean.

There are plenty of weakpoint that will affect the robot behavior. I read somewhere that there are place where if you hit them, will prevent thunderjaw to use charging attack at you.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Beautiful.

Uggh, those Longlegs are such stately creatures

Man, I hope the creature designers run wild in this game. Get as insane with the predators as possible. I want a trophy rack in my hut.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

& Japan Studio's JRPG. 2016-2017 could be the PS4's version of 2009-2010.

Too many games!!

 

[Portugeezer]

Doesn't sound confident about a 2016 release. I expect 2017

This is blasphemy. GG's game threads should be filled to the max with GIFs. The F*** is this thread doing?

But where is your gif?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

The machines are her wife.

The crossbow is her wife. It has the grapple-rope, after all!

& Japan Studio's JRPG. 2016-2017 could be the PS4's version of 2009-2010.

And we should know about Level-5's new RPG soon, which will probably be winding up for a late 2016 or 2017 release.

 

[ilikesanta]

Beautiful.

I can't wait for this game but does it bother anyone else that the big creatures are moving both limbs on one side forward at the same time? The kicker is the little guys are walking correctly.

 

[Lemondish]

Cambridge is pretty small, only 70 people work there.

They've been hiring a lot since the layoffs a couple years ago. Last I saw, those adverts were for a "high profile" franchise. That isn't Rigs.

Compare their size to Sucker Punch and your can definitely see that they could be big enough for a mainline Killzone considering they have an engine already.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Doesn't sound confident about a 2016 release. I expect 2017

Considering how long they have been working on it should be ready unless they completely overhauled the story and quests when the new talent arrived. I'd rather it be delayed than rushed though.

 

[Chaos17]

I like the new informations but they're showing too much the same footage over and over

 

[ShemhazaiX]

I can't wait for this game but does it bother anyone else that the big creatures are moving both limbs on one side forward at the same time? The kicker is the little guys are walking correctly.

They're walking exactly how giraffes and camels walk.

But where is your gif?

fryfreakingout.gif

I have loved everything shown about this game.

 

[tusken77]

- Every single location seen in the trailer is explorable.

So we can explore/scavenge the old cities. EXCELLENT.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I can't wait for this game but does it bother anyone else that the big creatures are moving both limbs on one side forward at the same time? The kicker is the little guys are walking correctly.

That's also how camels walk. Not that uncommon in nature.

 

[Nightengale]

I like the new informations but they're showing too much the same footage over and over

Pretty sure they're not allowed to show anything else...

Even the concept arts that the press got to see aren't revealed to us. Probably kept for a GameInformer/EDGE blow-out later this year or next year.

 

[jayu26]

I can't wait for this game but does it bother anyone else that the big creatures are moving both limbs on one side forward at the same time? The kicker is the little guys are walking correctly.

I found out in the other thread that that is how tall creatures like Giraffes walk. So they are indeed walking correctly.

 

[abstract alien]

Every time I see this trailer, after wiping my mouth I always come to the conclusion that it's set in the post-killzone world. Those buildings in the beginning look really similar to the ones shown in Shadowfall, and then there was the whole robo dino teaser in there as well. Am I just piecing shit together or is it something?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Subbing for awesome.

 

[RoadHazard]

Huh? That's exactly what they showed at the conference. Or do you mean them talking over it? Well, the polygon count was new I guess.

Either way, still looking great!

 

[nailbombxx]

Any mention of character customization (armor pieces)?

 

[RoadHazard]

Lol. Nature, how does it work.

 

[ironcreed]

This game just looks so incredibly amazing. Guerrilla was clearly destined for better things and that brilliance really always showed.

 

[BouncyFrag]

I love how they have already put in 4.5 years of development.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

The ThunderLaw has 550k stallones

ftfy

 

[Radec]

Any mention of character customization (armor pieces)?

I'm curious on this as well.

I do hope there are armor sets or upgrades over the course of the game from parts of your kills .

 

[Nightengale]

Probably just efficient to recycle Killzone assets.

No point at creating assets of a new cityscape if all it's going to be used for is a story backdrop of 1,000 years ago.

 

[Alo0oy]

Any mention of character customization (armor pieces)?

On Kinda Funny, Guerrilla said that the armor pieces will be layered.

 

[Josh5890]

Too bad, I am though

As House said, 2016 will be a harvest year. Lots of first party projects releasing.

Honestly I do not see us getting Ratchet, Uncharted, Last Guardian, Horizon, God of War (rumored), and supposedly Gran Turismo 7 in 2016. I will cry tears of joy if it happens but it just seems too good to be true.

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

Ho! ('rizon)
