Guerrilla Game’s PS4 Open-World RPG to Include “Robot Dinos, Female Protaganist” and More – Insider

OnlySP: Shinobi602 is quickly becoming our most trusted inside source here at OnlySP. He’s provided legitimate info to us on multiple occasions now with the name for Halo 5, Quantum Break release date being set to 2015, the next Battlefield game and other things as of late. Today, he shares details on Guerrilla Game’s next IP.

crimsonfox4042d ago

Oh Guerrilla Games. You had me a Robot Dinos.

Lord_Sloth4042d ago

So I'm guessing this will be an RPG in the same sense that Fallout 3 was an RPG.

mikeslemonade4042d ago

Fallout is overated. I hope not

GiggMan4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

@Crimsonfox

Yeah me too. I don't usually listen to these these "insider" rumors, but I'd be highly disappointed if this wasn't true :-(

Sounds interesting. GG tech, open world, and dinos... Make it happen please.

GarrusVakarian4042d ago

Robot dinosaurs and a female lead? Talk about trying something new, this sounds like it's going to be way out of their comfort zone. Which is a good thing, companies need to take risks. Hopefully the risk pays off.

thekhurg4042d ago

They lost me at female protagonist. If it's a RPG, then I want to immerse myself in it, can't do that if it's a chick.

@thekhurg

If you can't immerse with a female....I'm sorry.

thekhurg4042d ago

@above

No, I'm not a woman, I'm not going to roleplay as one. I'm not an driven by emotional needs and desires, so I can't make the decisions that a woman would make during the various situations that RPGs put the player in.

I understand it's cool to look at female polygonal ass while playing RPGs - it's just not my thing. I play a guy because I am one. If they want to force a female protagonist and have a RPG, that's cool for them, I just won't be supporting it.

SAMUS ARAN/Metroid: PRIME? Can it get more immersive?

Lord_Sloth4042d ago

@thekhurg

If you're just trying to play you then you're not really role playing. I'd rather have a straight up custom character but I don't mind playing females at all. In fact I love it. They're far more aesthetically pleasing imo.

Dirtnapstor4042d ago

@thekhurg

So Tomb Raider was out of the question too?

KwietStorm_BLM4042d ago

They lost me at robot dinos

lsujester4042d ago

@Lord_Sloth

I don't think he's saying as much role-playing as he is situation-playing. I can dig that. I have no desire to be other people, I personally like who I am. However, I do like the idea of being in different worlds. Because of that, I make my customer characters as close to me as I can. That lets "me" go out and explore new places without having to worry about a character's motivations.

Outside_ofthe_Box4042d ago

And all of sudden this game sounds like a must have just on concept alone. Already had me at open world, but Robot Dinos has me sold! Guerrilla Games just needs to deliver on story now and all is good.

starchild4042d ago

Sounds awesome. Truly awesome.

BattleAxe4042d ago

Looks like the Helghast are upping the ante with robotic dinosaurs this time around.

CryofSilence4042d ago

Dino Crisis RPG.

Looking forward to more information.

UltraNova4042d ago

Robo dinos? They clearly took some notes from Michael Bay's latest Transformers splosion fest..

OT: I hope they give her a killer body and an ass equal or better to Miranda's from Mass Effect 2, so that when I have to cross vast plains on foot I can stare at that pixelated piece of art along the way without getting bored!

Kind request to Guerrilla: Please allocate at least 50000 polys to the ass area alone, thanks!

alexkoepp4041d ago

Pretty much confirms GG got snatched up and is making the Transformers movie tie-in game. Never thought that would happen. Maybe a big studio is just what movie games need to actually be decent.

Talidan4041d ago

Now I get to be even more pissed off at my graphics team for our game.

We've got robot dinos, but nowhere near completion because my guys are lazy jerks. Wish I could do more than program...

IT's the new transformers movie game!?!?!

Dirtnapstor4042d ago

That would really suck! Lol

showtimefolks4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

i really hope people give them game a fair chance, i have ready many comments from gamers who say they don't play/buy games where the lead character is a female. There is a reason R* don't want to do it either

I really hope GG are not playing with fire because i am a huge fan of GG

crimsonfox

i think they had us all after that LOL, Now i hope we see some sort of trailer at E3

AgentSmithPS44042d ago

Maybe the female will be unattractive if they're really trying to stir up everyone :P.

I don't care if it's M or F, but I'd rather look at a female in an RPG.

thekhurg4042d ago

I have no problems playing games with a female lead, I have a problem with playing RPGs with a female as the lead.

When I play a RPG, I immerse myself in it, I sort of "become" the character - that can't happen if it's a female. RPGs should have options, not force you down one path.

StrawberryDiesel4204042d ago

Rockstar could easily do that if they do the same thing with GTA 6 that they did with 5 with 3 characters. They could easily make one female and no one would bitch, it would be a good idea.

R-A-S-04042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

@thekhurg

I felt the same way until I accidentally picked a female character in Dark Souls. I actually found myself relating to her more than any rpg character I've ever created. Mainly it felt good to subvert the trope of women being 'damsels in distress.'

Just curious (I'm not trying to insinuate anything): how would you feel if the character were a male with a different ethnicity to you?

Edit: grammar

T24042d ago

I think this sounds exciting and fresh!

thekhurg4042d ago

@RASO

I have the same issues if it's a roleplaying game and the character is a different ethnicity than I am. When I roleplay I put myself in the game I can't do that if I can't make the character the same sex and ethnicity.

DeadlyFire4042d ago

I don't mind it. I remember playing Tomb Raider on PS1. Never stopped me from enjoying the game at all. If truely an RPG though. Why not go with Mass Effect's main choice where it's main character can be any character you want. Any race, and Male/Female and so on.

Skyrim, Fallout, and a few other RPGs out there show this as well.

When I saw that scene of that movie I was crying laughing....

0P-Tigrex4042d ago

@theKhurg

Really?? I think playing as the opposite sex in anRPG can lead to a different experience. I'm bored with Male Character leads in video games. Fem Shep was a great expansion, i enjoyed her more than dude sheep, she felt more like a leader than he ever was. Game developers need to try something new.

thekhurg4042d ago

I'm all for them going to new stuff. Just make the game for both male and female leads. Like I said, I have no problem with female leads in non-RPG style experiences. But when it's a RPG, I don't roleplay as a woman.

Spotie4042d ago

After reading all your comments on the subject, I'm still not getting it. It's no different than if it were some other genre. A female character is a female character; you don't have to BE the character you make in an rpg any more than you have to BE Lara Croft, or any other female in gaming.

As for me, I live life as a male. I play most games to get away from life; can't get too much further away than playing a female.

Plus, you know, easier on the eyes.

Aura75414042d ago

Yep. Same with Persona 3 Portable. The FemC (or Minako) was really well done. In fact, I thought her social links were much better than Minato's.

Evilsnuggle4042d ago

I wonder if it is first or third person. I don't know about Sci Fi RPGS . I wish it was medieval dark fantasy RPG. I don't like first person RPGS hoping for 3D person. Still interested because it made by GG they're graphic beast.

-Foxtrot4042d ago

Hopefully we'll get the choice to be male or female if it's an RPG. I would like to customize my character.

frostypants4042d ago

“Robot Dinos, Female Protaganist, Furbies, screaming babies in Mozart wigs, sunburned drifters with soap sud beards..."

ITPython4042d ago

I've never played an RPG with a female lead before, so not sure if it will impact the game for me or not.

I do know I didn't much care for the latest TR, I just couldn't get into the game. Not sure if it was because the lead was a women, or if it was just because of the gameplay itself.

Would be nice if GG gave us a choice though, but it's entirely possible that this won't be an issue at all. It just depends on how the game is played and what kind of RPG it is.

Do we know if this is a TPS or a FPS yet? Cause that would make a huge difference.

Rodney254042d ago

Badass, female protagonist, we need more.

CryofSilence4042d ago

Red headed female protagonist and dinosaurs. Hmm.

XStation4042d ago

Well i guess you can throw money at that new Transformers game also.

Last_Boss4041d ago

If this is what I think it is, judging from possible concept art. I follow a lot of artists, and if they're using this guys art I'm thinking, then be prepared. He draws incredible Safari animals in robot form, like wildebeests, rhino's, and a vulture with a medical kit on its back. He numbers his drawings in like a Guerrilla Games style logo, mixed with a transformer face symbol.

BallsEye4041d ago

Always loved everything dino!! I just hope they can deliver this game or any other THIs YEAR . I'm tired of reading the news and watching trailers about games I will maybe play in a year or two (or 5..hello gt)Hope Sony brings 2014 games at e3. I really would love to have more games on my ps4 than killzone and infamous (have other multiplat games on other console due to some personal preferences).

Oh dear, they had me at Dinos then lost me at female lead character.

Guerrilla Games and robot dinos got me instantly excited. Nuff said. Shinobi has been providing legitimate leak after leak so I honestly have small doubt that this is fake.

I just like to remind people when reading these articles, Shinobi and Superannuation are two insiders that you can trust. Super leaked Far Cry 4 earlier this year before the reveal, back in like February, plus other stuff. Shinobi's credentials are in the article.

0P-Tigrex4042d ago

When i think of Robot Dino's I think of the new Transformers coming out. Is that a bad thing???

modesign4042d ago

are we going to be killing the robo dinos or do we get to ride them.

Majin-vegeta4042d ago

Who knows maybe both,But I just want Dinos!!It's been awhile SInce I've played a game with them.

Both ofcourse! Its not like dinos would equip themselves with robotic parts.

uth114042d ago

and can we disassemble them, mix and match parts to make new kinds of dinos?

PlayStation Studios Could Embrace Decima Engine As Guerrilla Expands Developer Support

Some of Sony's first-party PlayStation Studios may be developing their future titles using Guerrilla Games' Decima engine.

Read Full Story >>
twistedvoxel.com
RaidenBlack160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

Might be for studios which were using older engines or UE4 like Bend Studio.
Sony's big 5 studios' engines are all unique to some degree and I want it stay that way for future new games.
Remakes can be done using Decima if required like Bloodborne or Uncharted 1.
Imagine From Software embracing Decima for future titles.
But then again Until Dawn Remake was done using UE5, when the original was made using Decima.

VersusDMC160d ago

Maybe ease of use is what made it a better choice. And it was already tested by a another studio with kojima productions having shipped death stranding on Decima.

Eonjay160d ago

I wonder if this is for studios beyond SIE and KP. Decima has also proven itself of platforms beyond PS5 so I wonder how comfortable they would be with allowing non first party use it wherever?

Minute Man 721160d ago

They should use the Ready at Dawn engine

DarXyde160d ago

That engine is mighty impressive, even by today's standards. The cloth simulation and gun animations are absolutely chef's kiss.

But I think it's one of those very intensive engines that will choke the hell out of the hardware and you're looking at a short and linear but very detailed experience. More or less what you get from a UE5 game that really forces the hardware (e.g., Hell blade II).

For that reason, Naughty Dog's engine is probably more practical: still extremely detailed (albeit less so) but allows for a more wide-linear experience and you're still left in awe.

But if we're going open world, absolutely Decima.

porkChop160d ago

They don't own that engine, and Ready at Dawn doesn't even exist anymore.

anast160d ago

They already have embraced it along with some other engines.

They need to put that Decima engine to work for Killzone 5 or a remake of Killzone 2.

anast160d ago

This would be a cool gift to the fans.

jjb1981160d ago

I'm a huge Killzone 2 fan. It's my favorite shooter of all time and I wish they'd revive the IP. I know a remake of KZ2 would do very well. My original PSN friends I met were on KZ2 and and we formed a clan. I've been itching to get that 3 star badge. Only made it to 2-star.

Eonjay160d ago

Fun fact Decima IS the evolved version of the Killzone engine.

OlderGamer17159d ago

Noppe, its build from the ground up....

CrimsonIdol160d ago

A Killzone 2 remake where the controls are actually responsive could be cool.

mike32UK159d ago

The character has weight, it was a design choice which many people happened to like. You're probably too used to the floaty controls of COD

CrimsonIdol159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

yeah I remember that argument too. Then how that argument went away when they fixed it for the sequel. having massive input delay before anything happens due to technical issues isn't an artistic choice. It's good copium though

RaiderNation160d ago

Rather than a KZ2 remake, I'd rather see them do a KZ reboot! If they're going to do a remake, I'd rather see a PS5 remake of KZ Mercenary! Hands down one of the best Vita games and the 2nd best Killzone game in the series (after KZ2).

Guerrilla Games' Multiplayer Horizon Game Could Be Named "Hunters Gathering," Teases Leak

Guerrilla Games' upcoming multiplayer Horizon title could be dubbed "Hunters Gathering," according to a new leak.

Jin_Sakai550d ago (Edited 550d ago )

I wish PlayStation Studios would just stick to what they do best, making great single player games.

Outside_ofthe_Box550d ago

The core gameplay of Horizon is really good, so this is one of the few I can see working out. Also GG does have one of the greatest multiplayer games ever made in Killzone 2 under their belt so MP isn't too far off with what GG does best.

SyntheticForm550d ago

Hell, I enjoyed Shadowfall's MP thoroughly even though it had issues. Guerrilla have delivered solid multiplayer experiences.

Cacabunga549d ago

Oh boy. No idea why they don't want to work on a killzone it's a much more fun multi mode. -

__SteakDeck__549d ago

@Jin_Sakai First. As a business, you don’t just stick to what you do great. If that was the case, Apple would of just done computers and not taken a risk with iTunes and the iPhone. Also have you seen the cost of their AAA games like Spiderman 2? Sony is going to need one of these GAAS games to hit, or expect budget cuts to their SP games. We’re already seeing in the document leak, that they’re asking Insomniac to cut budgets.

Jin_Sakai549d ago

Their studios aren’t masters at GaaS and it’s showing. Naughty Dog wasted all that time and Resources just to cancel Factions and Insomniac's multiplayer Spider-Verse got axed. If Sony really wants a big GaaS hit their best bet would be to acquire EA or Epic Games. You need huge support to keep these games going with content and updates.

purple101550d ago (Edited 550d ago )

OHH GOD YES,, or at least some new shooter. finals was okay but I want more, spesh from 1st party

DaleCooper550d ago

Meh. You know what could be good? A new Killzone.

Magatsuhi550d ago

Hope it's not battle royale.

anast550d ago

It would be better than Monster Hunter, but I'm good with the Gaas stuff.
