I know Wild is supposed to be still in development as of april 2020 news but the improvements this game should endure to see the light of day as a PS5 game are even wilder.

They didn't say that they don't have any framework of gameplay. They didn't wanted to show it because it still can greatly change on that stage of production. Original Halo on that stage was probably still strategy game.

They want to have AAA game every other month. For normal not fanboy person that's obvious they can't achieve that in that short time especially that now game dev cycle is like 4 years, sometimes even more and every studio they bought had contractual obligations they had to fulfill (Outer Worlds, Wasteland 3, Psychonauts 2 and others). That's long time game which will effects we will see late in generation.

I think it's gonna be Banjo Kazooie meets The Witcher 3

Nobody could figure out/describe what death stranding was even after it came out, chill. Isn't this what "letting what the devs do what they want" looks like?

I still don't understand if it was:
A) CGI
B) A target render
C) In-engine
Which do people here think it was?
I see people in this thread saying the love the style/look of the game and I'm just a little concerned if they are basing it on the particle effects, lighting, the way the characters look in motion (eg motion blur, etc), smoke simulation and other effects, that it won't actually necessarily look like that.
Especially if the trailer was CGI, but NXGamer seems to be praising the trailer without mentioning CGI, so should we assume that he thinks its B or C?
At first I thought CGI, but then since its a next-gen game I was happy to accept that it was in-engine and wait for more footage to confirm (Like I have with HFW), but then when they said they don't really have the gameplay/scenario worked out yet I wasn't sure again. Its very strange to me to have a full art style and designed characters and creatures if you don't even know what genre it is.

My guess is it will be something along the lines of the cancelled Fable Legends, co op orientated with story elements thrown in and some lovely environments like that game had.
Personally I found those comments a little troubling about working out what it is, a clear vision and focus on what it’s going to be should be paramount imo.
I don’t want to see another Sea of Thieves situation where at launch it got some bad press & some negative player reactions only to then wait and wait for it to only start to see its potential a year or so later. You want a game to start off strong then build on that.

C) In-engine. Doesn't look good enough to be CGI

Yeah, it turned out exactly like we would have expected. It just took 4 times as long as we'd have guessed.

This game was announced 8 months ago as being in early development.
So all we literally know is it's been in development for at least 8 months and they are still "playing around with gameplay ideas" (the actual quote from the article.) I don't see how this relates to Anthem.

Rare shouldn't be showing off a "game" when they don't even know what the game is.

You mean the same Last Guardian that was rebuilt from the scratch even by a different team? Yo'know, whatever, dont want this to be a tiresome warrying thing. You won, thanks, bye.

Lemme clarify things a bit. The same exact thing happened to Anthem. IIRC Bioware had run it through several iterations and the product changed creative leads a few times. They couldn't figure out what kind of game it was or how it would play. This is why I'm reminded by Everwild's statement -- 8 months sounds like a long time to not know where your game design is going. I'm not saying it will tank like Anthem did, but it's not a good start from a similar retrospective.

We have no clue how much they do or don't have designed; they did not actually claim they are "figuring out what the game is".. they did not say "they do not know where your game design is going."
Just quote the dev.. if you think 8 months is a long time to be still "playing around with gameplay ideas" then so be it.. it doesn't sound that long to me especially if this isn't one of the typical standard genre games. I mean Halo CE was a third person strategy game well into it's development...
It's just a game announced way too early, being talked about before the dev is really ready to show anything.

Great art style. Hope they come up with a cool game to go along with it.

I grew up with the games you mentioned, but it's kind of been too long to still think that the current iteration of Rare is the same company that made those early games. I like Sea of Thieves well enough, but I don't hold them in reverence because of their early track record.
