imagine if the final stages of the summons are the gods themselves!!
also gamewise, itll be be better if they acted as a tool.
like flying god for fast travel, snake god as mass healing limit break sorta thing...etc

I'd rather have giant animals than the Divinities. Imagine playing as a snake big enough to be from a Syfy original movie.

better yet imagine having a monster fusion system yet again inspired from a,Syfy original movie.

ya know
playing as a bearigator,or a hippostrich.
or a 5 headed shark.

somehow controlling the evolution of monsters...

The first trailer showed pretty big animals.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

I still have no idea what this game is about, but it has shamans and animals, so I'll be there on day 1.

 

[tattooed_dwarf]

I hope this game maintains some form of sense of reality, so no monsters or anything.

 

[Get_craycray]

The demo was wonderful and made me even more excited for WiLD.

I found the little part when the rabbit was swimming so cute!

 

[charsace]

My only issue is that you're a white guy. The first humans weren't white.

 

[Guymelef]

Neither the first giant sexy snake-girls.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

I'm so down with this. Very excited even though this seems like it will be a long way off.

 

[hwy_61]

Easily game of the show for me. Just bat shit craziness

 

[tci]

The world looks a lot more barren than the first video (wasn't gameplay). Nevertheless it looks like a great concept. Still a bit on edge about the longevity of the game tho. On my radar for sure.

 

[Ensirius]

I still do not know what people see in this game...
Might give it a shot.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Every time this is shown it's Game of the Show. Well, it's only had too gameplay demos/videos but still.

Originality, creativity, weirdness - this has it all.

 

[dead monkey uk]

My only issue is that you're a white guy. The first humans weren't white.

But this game does not feature the first humans, they are able to make clothes and weapons.

This is my first time seeing it. I was on board as soon as the guy got on that bear

Well any game that lets you play as a fish is GOTY contender imo.

 

[Roussow]

Incredibly impressive animation & attention to detail there.

 

[Skinny Pete]

Never heard of this game before now but damn was really impressed by that demo. Looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Shredderi]

This game looks really interesting. I already like it, but I'm interested in seeing if the game has enough systems and actual non randomized goals etc. I'm not big on procedural elements so I'm hoping this won't be one of those "there is no end" games.

 

[iNvid02]

looks a little rough but who cares man - EMERGENT.BEARS

 

[Possumowner]

Stunning so far,looks like my type of game.Im even more hyped for this game after that showing

 

[forrest]

The game looks awesome, but what is with the giant fish? Or is it a tiny bear?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arapaima

Coelacanth?

Definitely giant fish.

Fish look more like giant catfish or based on catfish than anything. At least to me anyways.

 

[dr_rus]

I think these creatures may represent different aspects of nature

These are creature deities as Ancel explained in the extended cut of the presentation. You basically use a creature to call on it's deity which gives you a "quest" by completing which you're granted a new "shaman power".

 

[Kinyou]

My only issue is that you're a white guy. The first humans weren't white.

Game apparently has a character creator. I imagine you can pick your skin color

 

[Servbot24]

Boy. That did not look appealing to me. I don't want go on "quests", especially to collect snakes.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

So it's like Ark but without Dinos. looks good.

count me in

 

[Mathieran]

This game looks great. It's looking like it's gonna be a while til it comes out. They don't even have a year projected yet, do they?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Boy. That did not look appealing to me. I don't want go on "quests", especially to collect snakes.

I was kind of hoping this would be a maybe less weird spiritual successor to the old Artdink PS1 game Tail of the Sun; i.e. that game's tagline was "wild, pure, simple"- but I definitely blame my own baseless expectations and not Ancel.

Put me up with those getting tired of this prevalent 'open-world/quest' design to video games, but I'm still really looking forward to this- mainly due to who's making it.
Unless something catastrophic happens it will likely be a Day 1 for me.

 

[arimanius]

Wow this game looks fantastic. I love living words and this looks great.

 

[Lime]

Wait, I thought this was an online multiplayer game? It isn't anymore and instead singleplayer?

 

[Handy Fake]

Fish look more like giant catfish or based on catfish than anything. At least to me anyways.

I think you're right.

 

[Onivulk]

Finally the spiritual successor to Space Station Silicon Valley I've always wanted.

 

[Moongazer]

Single-player with an online element but can also be played offline. Some sort of Dark Souls multiplayer mode is what is described in this article:
http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2015/10/28/15-interesting-things-i-learned-about-wild

-"Wild will have Dark Souls-like multiplayer. Other players can arrive in your game at any time. "Controlling animals is very interesting when you play online - you could have another player attacking you with rabbits, or other crazy situations," says Ancel. "You know in games like Bloodborne? The multiplayer system there is very interesting and exciting. People can help you, or they can hurt you. And other players will try to mimic the AI, to appear undetected. In this game, any animal could be dangerous, because it could be another player in there. Someone could approach you as a frog, then jump into a more dangerous animal."
-There will be the option to play offline and close your game off, though, if you'd rather keep all of Wild to yourself. You can also jump into friends' games, or have them join you in yours."

Finally some light.
You should open a new thread with this info.

This was the point in the Paris demo that caught my attention the most. The animation from running, to swimming, to getting out and resuming running was incredibly well done, which made me excited about the attention-to-detail implications elsewhere. The various behaviors in the crowd after that scene were nice too.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I liked the demo very much. We can play as a shaman only, or can we use other characters as well?

From Wild Sheep's comments I think you only get to play as a shaman, as they said you're not ideal for combat.

It's made by Rayman creator Michel Ancel. You can expect special touches like that all over. Man is a videogame legend.

 

[EatChildren]

this game will be zen

 

[AcademicSaucer]

This is atleast 2 years away right ?

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Ancel likes Soulsborne. The man has taste.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

If the game doesn't let me take control of increasing in size fish and make the slightly larger one eat the smaller one until it ends with like a whale eating the really large fish, then no sale.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

No way. There was in-game footage at the beginning of this year. I reckon release is Q3 2016.

 

[Walpurgis]

I hope this game maintains some form of sense of reality, so no monsters or anything.

There was a talking skeleton at gamescom ladt year. I don't want 4 headed ostriches though.

Incredibly impressive animation & attention to detail there.

I know, right? The animations on the animals are breathtaking.

Game apparently has a character creator. I imagine you can pick your skin color

Excellent. I was worried that they got rid of that.

I reckon you're setting yourself up for a broken heart.

[Blimblim]

HQ version is up. We saw a behind closed doors demo yesterday and we will most likely talk about it a bit tonight or tomorrow on our paris games week stream. I'll let you guys know if you are interested

[mckmas8808]

can we make the bear go eat the kayaks of the enemy tribes to distract them?

LOL!!!!! "Beeear stop that, why are you doing this to meeeeeee!"

 

[FlyingSaucer]

Sounds like some great gameplay ideas for a Glorantha/Heroquest-type of chamanic adventuring universe. I hope the myths and the different divinities will have some deep lore to dive into and have fun with.

Damn, and I want a bear tank right now.

 

[jiggle]

I'm assuming there are different classes to play as right?
Unless this shaman knows how to shoot arrow?

I'm interested in this.

 

[Sum-Mischief]

This will be a day one purchase for me.
