I think it's silly because I'm struggling to think of a way to execute on the idea of "robot dinosaurs taking over the world" that isn't handled in a silly way. And even if they do come to something that's effective on paper the trailers aren't giving me any faith that the dialogue and voice acting will be able to keep it from falling back into the silly zone.

There is no way you could have watched anything related to this game and come away with the gameplay being similar or Killzone or God Of War comparison as a rational analysis.

How certain is an improved version for the PS4 Neo?

February works for me since I likely won't get a PS4 until Christmas. I've never been interested in Killzone but this game looks really, really great. This team is nailing this vision.
Is there a price point for the CE/LE? I'm so in for that art book.

They always do this lol every year now.
Every game after like September/October 2016 must have a neo version.
So it will defiantly have it.
With the release date being after September 2016. A Neo improved version is guaranteed.
You're probably already looking at it.
I'd say very certain if their goal is to push Neo's as machines to make games prettier.
I'd imagine all of Sony's games are in for a Neo Upgrade, it'd be the best way to sell it.

I mean, concepts like "humans give dolphins and other animals sentience" or "talking apes rule over regressed humans" are silly ideas that seem ridiculous at their base levels.PSY・S;205849833 said:
There are myriad routes that could result in humans supplanted by advanced machines that take the appearance of prehistoric organisms. A literal mechanical evolution, a technological singularity, a time rift that collided future and past, manipulation by more advanced being, and so on

I hope they get stage time again at E3 and show off a new lengthy gameplay clip.
Plot twist: the developers were actually the "kids" the board of directors did research on. Anonymous identities of course in order to get their insane concept game green-lit.
Cause who in the fuck doesn't love dinosaurs!? Them beasts are magnificent.

Maybe you should just skip the game as you are making it painfully obvious the premise of this game isn't for you.
Maybe battling demons in hell in Doom, or jumping through dimensions battling monsters in Witcher 3, controlling time in Quantum break, battling the undead in Dark Souls and Bloodborne, and discovering new planets in NMS makes much more sense for your taste.
I mean come on it's a video game. Let the publishers spend their money, and the developers make the games based on their vision. If you don't like their idea then fine but complaining that a gaming story is silly is asinine. They are video games, not real life.
Shit, sometimes real life is more weird.

LOL You might need to replay those games because this game certainly doesn't resemble any of them.
Well said.

Judging by the early reports about the game's frame rate being a mess, I'd say you're gonna want a Neo if you want a 1080p/30 locked or 1080p/60 unlocked experience.

I feel like February is when PS4Neo will launch and this game will be the headlining one to showcase improvements.
The game is seven months away and frame rate is the last thing that is optimized.

Reports of the Framerate being a mess from last year? And game is still 7 months away?
I'm not too worried. But I'll be playing it on NEO regardless.

Love the premise, setting, and the gameplay looked great. Shame about how corny some of the writing is, but oh well. Still looks pretty good.
Real talk: Why did Sony show this before E3? Is it
A) To prevent people from getting pissed off about the 2017 delay
B) Because they aren't showing it at their E3 press conference (That seems likely, but would be a bit of a shocker)
C) Because when they show it at the press conference, it is the Neo version that will look a lot better than this. (That'd be an interesting way to boost hype)

Pre-hype hype. This is how things have worked for a few years now, not sure why it's surprising to so many people. We've been getting videos and trailers in the days leading up to E3. They could very easily still show a gameplay demo during their conference.
Good thing they delay the game.
I would say D) Because people are talking about this new trailer now and will be talking about the game again after the press conference.

oct 2015. Surely the game is ready to launch.
It's almost like it isn't finished yet, WTF?
Yes, I am also very concerned about footage from 1.5 years before launch that is not related to this thread.
Lazy devs!
Did I not just say that as and old vid?
That was showed behind closes doors at E3, they showed it to the public at Paris Games Week.
Old ass video from last October.......
Hopefully it's not really grindy forcing you to run around the world looking for lots and lots of parts on the ground.

Doesn't take away from what I'm seeing in that video. It looks bad. Even the gameplay looks bad. I'm not denying that improvements will(and have been)be made.
The video is from October and the build they were playing was from last E3. It was just a stage demo of the behind closed doors presentation from E3 so that footage is a year old and the game isn't out for another 8 months.
Eh its part of the economy you need it for everything.
Well, there's always No Man's Sky...

Not a fan of the box.
Cannot unsee this as her right leg...
She was clearly cut from an older artwork, in which she looked much better. Hiding behind a tree, getting another arrow ready.
Now she's just standing there, seemingly unaware of the dinobot behind her.

Umm you decided to post footage from a build back in October with that comment. I think I get you now man. Some of your threads have seemed odd but this is pretty transparent.
