Eurogamer Rumor: Guerrilla Games working on open world RPG, too early for E3 reveal

New IPs can spend up to 3 years in pre-production with a small team no problem. I very much doubt full-production started before SF shipped. So while they have the basics nailed down, not much of the actual content is produced most likely.
So the game is probably "shitty annoying teaser" ready, but not "awesome reveal with gameplay" ready. I think Sony will focus more on the ladder this generation.
2.5 years "in development" tells us nothing. It could have been 10 people up until 2014.

Hope we dont see another SSM new IP out of this.
2.5 years and not ready to show has me a little worried already.

Whenever someone says they will be or wont be at E3, I take it with a grain of salt. David Jaffe going on and on about how he wouldn't be at E3 only to come on stage with Sweet Tooth to officially reveal Twisted Metal sealed my opinion on future statements from other devs.
Eurogamer reporting a rumor isn't 1:1 with a developer making a public statement.

They just made an assumption they didn't mentioned it as a fact.They said it may be too soon:
Kinda misleading thread title IMO.

I think it would be good for the PS4 to have some great exclusives, but I have very little faith left in GG.
KZ2/3/SF were technical showcases but only competent games. I think Sony has placed far too much faith in this studio, who have proven repeatedly that their skill is in technology, not the craft of game creation. When you advertise a game by boasting about new abilities to stab someone in the eyes, it's pretty clear that creativity is not your strong suit.
I'd like to be proven wrong - but GG has done nothing to give me any hope that this will be an "important" game for any other reason than what, I'm sure, will be some very pretty graphics.

The only Killzone spinoff I want is Killzone: XCOM Chronicles

That's it. I can't believe it. I finally found my soul mate.

It could still show but it sounds like if it is at this years E3 it'll be shown as a teaser or concept trailer rather than a full reveal. If Sony is standing by their plans to show games closer to launch going forward then it probably is unlikely we'll see it.
Maybe a late 2014 reveal at the VGA's.

That was SSM. Guerilla have hired someone on the Fallout:New Vegas writing team for this project.

SSM and it was most likely the now cancelled game. GG hired the lead writer of New Vegas.

I thought as much. They just released KZSF 6 months ago and I'm pretty sure they don't have a separate team other than Guerrilla Cambridge who also released KZM last year. I doubt they have much to show after 6 months. Probably next year or in 2016 since open world RPG sounds ambitious and should take about 4 years, so we probably won't see it until 2017.

This new I.P has been in development for atleast 2.5 years, so they could possibly have enough to show off, even a teaser would suffice probably.

They have 270+ employees not all of those were working on Shadowfall.

They have to announce Beast Souls, GoW4, TLG, GT7, MM's next game, Bend's next game, QD's next game, and a few others in the next couple of years, they can certainly still pack E3 without GG's RPG.

Smoke screen. This will probably be the 2nd to last announcement at E3.

Why? The Eurogamer article doesn't explicitly say the I.P wont be there, just that they in their opinion don't think it will (either they know its not going to be there or most likely they are speculating).We'll see come E3 anyway.

I stand corrected.
So is the entire team now working on the new IP or is the Shadowfall team working on their own thing? I hope they hired the guy who wrote Visari's speeches to write the major dialogue and speeches for the new IP.

So. All these posts that keep saying they formed a separate team several years ago are just gonna get ignored, huh?
Enlighten me...

Bunch of predictions that's all. If he was confident in them he would post em on GAF.
CambriaRising

Because he is unreliable.
What are his predictions?
Him and the other "insiders" are claiming that E3 is going to be a massive let down with a ton of games getting delayed or announced for 2015

2.5 years and not ready to show it lol? Naughty Dog was putting games every 2 years with GOTY contenders last generation...

Ye and the Last Of Us took 4 years.
TLoU wasn't shown until after UC3 shipped, so it was probably in the dark for that long.

I am starting to get the feeling this is going to be yet another Sony show with few new announcements but all the insiders keep saying "they are just holding back. Just you wait" like we have been getting.
If it wasnt for the DRM and Price KO punches last year that show would have bombed hard. If they do the same level of announcements this year (A whole 1 new Exclusive boxed game!) then they are messing up royally.
Add to that the potential dangers they have trying to Demo VR which could be a train wreck and this show might be a disaster.

Something most of us already know, games slipping into 2015.
What do you mean by bowing out? not announcing any more AAA exclusives for this year? I'd say that it's very likely.
E3 last year is an absurd thing to compare it to, because they announced their games when they announced the platform. This year they didn't have a February event.
I mean only shipping DC, that should have shipped a year before, and TLoU HD this holiday is insane, even in their strong position.
