Introducing PS4 Exclusive WiLD

Micheal Ancel via PSBlog: When we started working on WiLD we wanted to make sure that we would have fun playing our own game even after months and months of development! This is the reason why the world of WiLD is the size of Europe, with dynamic weather and seasons, and filled with interactive opportunities that feel endless.

[GribbleGrunger]

This is going to be WiLD.

... Sorry.

[Heisenburger]

It's born to be. ;)

This game is, in a word, intriguing. I have no idea what it is, yet I feel like a need it.

[JP1369]

Yep, so many questions and yet it's already near the top of my most anticipated list.

[TFJWM]

It looked amazing, it was like almost like no mans sky but instead you could play as anything on a single world. Hopefully once we get more info it will still seem amazing

[Abash]

This WiLD ip has so much potential, can you imagine a sequel featuring jungle creatures? Playing as gorillas and lions in that sort of habitat?

WiLD looks amazing on it's own, but I am just as excited for future installments

[GribbleGrunger]

This game is the size of Europe. There may not be jungles but they'll definitely be forests. We also saw a giant woman in a tree and a giant trout ... so I don't think exotic creatures, not necessarily associated with Europe, are out of the question.

My stream must have gone down when this was shown because I can't remember seeing it. This looks great too:

Watch the 60fps trailer... trust me.

[Consoldtobots]

I always dreamed about growing up to play a trout in a video game.

[3-4-5]

Is this like a Thing ?

My heart is singing.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

It's the size of Europe and has dynamic weather and seasons... WiLD sounds very promising.

[TFJWM]

Ya very promising. I was thinking that a sequel of Tokyo Jungle could be something like this. I'm still hoping for that as well thou

[fr0sty]

From an indie studio no less. Where's all the indie haters now?

[dirkdady]

What people forget Indie just means independent. Indie games can be AAA with publisher funding.

[Rimeskeem]

Cant you also play as any living creature?

[infinitewords]

This game looks great, but I need to see game play before I'm completely sold on it. I'm glad that it has a hint of fantasy in it, with the giants and playable skeletons. It makes it stand out amongst the other survival games that are more grounded in reality.

[GribbleGrunger]

The trailer WAS gameplay. Just imagine the camera 'behind' the character you're playing and you'll see it.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[MysticStrummer]

Some people don't seem to understand that concept. My little brothers don't. I guess maybe they need to see the camera angle…? Idk.

[infinitewords]

I was referring more to the ui/hud and the actual aspects of surviving (gathering supplies,gathering food,building,and fighting).
Also, I would like to see if it has a leveling tree/skills and how the different animals affect the game play. The trailer may have been in-game footage, but I need to see the game actually being played so I can get a sense of how it will be.

[jts1891]

Get rid of the crappy human character models and replace them with something a bit less disproportionate, and this could be interesting.

[JP1369]

Upon being presented with a game world the likes of which we've likely never seen before, only a petulant child would claim to lose interest over the proportions of the humans. News flash: A game in which you can control any creature and form little gangs is probably not super realistic, so a stylized form is more acceptable. Also, you do realize that the average man had a much different build 10,00 years ago, right?

Edit: Never mind. I just saw your post history and not only are you a raging idiot, you don't even know how to properly define an indie title. Have a good evening, little dudebro.

[kenshiro100]

Oh, you must be one of those people who hate indies. You know, no one asked you to come here.

Just saying.

[Jeff257]

This could turn out to be a blast to play. Seems very ambitious in the size of the area and the fact that you can play as any creature in the game. I definitely want to see more about it and I hope it lives up to what is being promised.

[InTheZoneAC]

looks whack

will wait for final judgement until gameplay videos surface...

[GarrusVakarian]

Not enough dude-bro, amirite?

[Volkama]

Is whack a good thing or a bad thing? I feel so old right now :(

[InTheZoneAC]

?

whack is bad...

[Corpser]

Where's the outrage Sony paid for this one to be exclusive on their console?

[intellegent]

I didn't know this game had a fanbase on other platforms already. Oh wait, it doesn't.

[MysticStrummer]

Where's the correlation between a new IP and a series that's long been identified with PS even when it's been a multi plat?

[showtimefolks]

this game is from gthe guy who made beyond good and evil 2, he left UBI to make his own studio. So here is how i think this went. Since sony is known to support these niche games

he went to ssony and presented his idea which i would imagine sony liked, and since he is a well know developer too. I am not sure if sony is publishing/funding this

on the other hand, this is how MS works:

we will give you $100 million to make tomb raider exclusive for fall 2015, you notice in the release both ms and SE said tomb raider will be exclusive in fall 2015. BY mid of 2016 we will see the same game with improvements/dlc come out on ps4/pc. I understand where ms is coming from, they want to compete with Uncharted 4, but if MS really think that crystal dynamic's tomb raider will be in the same area code as UC4 than they again bet on the wrong horse lol

Square Enix keeps making stupid decisions than they wonder why they are loosing money, EA made the mistake with Titanfall and now by fall 2015(ps4 could be sitting aty 25 plus million) are you willing to take this big of a risk and possible sales

how much could MS pay to ake up for missing out on a big install base, plus many people like me won't pick it up when it comes to ps4 till its dirt cheap. I don't want to pay $60 for a game in mid 2016 that came out in fall 2015

and let's be honest here how many people will actually buy a brand new xbox one just to play this one game, i am surer those without xbox one's will wait because majority of core gamers know this is timed exclusive at best

[Ging_Freecs]

Your comment was really good until you mention microsoft when this is a sony article!!!!! -_-

[Infamous298]

Why does xbox fanboys always try to prove sony fanboys are hypocrites?

[SoapShoes]

They have nothing else, that's why. They know Sony had a great showing and they can't counter that so they go the strawman route.

[Aceman18]

this is quite possibly the dumbest thing i've read this morning, and the 2 people who agreed with you are just as dumb smh.

[TheCatsMeow]

Oh shit, I need a PS4 .

[MysticStrummer]

Game of the show, or at least of today's press conferences.

[rainslacker]

The game looked really interesting, yet nothing much is known about it.

You know what I'm seeing. Sony showed a lot of games, and quite a few of them are getting people saying that they're the "Game of the show, or the press conference". No one has really settled on which game's Sony showed today was truly the best.

To me that speaks volumes on how much variety that Sony put into it's show. And it is a prime example of why Sony always does so well. It's because they don't just focus on one game, and offer enough variety to appeal to a huge number of people.

On a side note, ScreamRide or Ori would be my games of the show so far. Rime would be my Game of Sony's conference however.:)

[DigitalRaptor]

Absolutely. Did you hear the crowd at the end? They went wild! ;)

Sony has basically just proved all the indie haters conclusively wrong. But those guys are still out there laughing at indies that look as good and as expansive as AAAs, just because they're indies, because they have nothing else to grasp on to.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

This game seems like it's going to be beyond incredible. Best game at Gamescom in my opinion.

[TheFutureIsBlue]

Love the setting to the world. Very original. Freaking giants with horns? Awesome. Looking forward to seeing more!

[thorstein]

How about Giant Underwater Skeletons! This one just came out of left field for me and I am pleasantly surprised.

[TheFutureIsBlue]

I wonder how big the map will be? All I thought when I watched this was "Wow I want to explore this world!".

[GribbleGrunger]

This is how big the map is:

[blndrhyme]

keep it coming Sony!

[Ging_Freecs]

The game looks like it has a lot of potential. Looks really good so far

[Locknuts]

Finally! I've wanted a PS4 for a while now but there's finally a game I can use to justify it.

[cell989]

These are the games I'm intrigued the most with. So different and original, can't wait to know more about this game, it has my attention

[dodgemoose]

This sounds cool. Look forward to finding out more.

[Darkfist]

while it looks good i hope it has a story, than just surviving endlessly

[kenshiro100]

Very interesting so far.

[ps5fanboy]

When I watched it, I had the most bizarre , excited ,child-like feeling I haven't felt since I was younger,when first seeing the SNES super Mario world , that sort of magical wow moment I want it.

[jamstorr86]

A sad fact is people will ignore this title because it is made by an indie team. I on the other hand will enjoy this game a lot.

[Tito08]

I might try it out as well, it kind of reminds me a little of the Mark Of Kri, great game.

[thorstein]

They'll do the same with No Man's Sky.

I don't understand why they don't get that the term "indie" just means independent of giant publishers.

It doesn't mean that the games can't be extraordinary.

[izumo_lee]

Not neccessarily an Indie game but from a new development team headed by the guy who created Rayman.

That's the thing people seem to miss when talking about this game is that Michael Ancel is behind it. The dude is a legend (which is why during the conference there was such a big cheer when he was introduced). The guy knows how to make good games & judging by his portfolio there is no reason this game won't be.

This is a big get by Sony. One that is flying under the radar for many when talking about it.

[thorstein]

I know. Star Citizen is "indie." But, other than being independent of major publishers, it hardly looks or will play like an "indie."
