Guerrilla's PS4 Game 'Horizon' May Be Shown This Year, Possible Cryptic Clues To Games Nature

"Guerrilla have been playing their cards extremely close to their chest, but there is some reason to believe we may see a bit more of their upcoming game, code-named 'Horizon.'" - The Games Cabin

[JMaine518]

I hope so. This is one game that I'm eager to know more about.

[joab777]

Yeah, it will be shown this year!

[thanhgee]

Pretty sure it'll be announced this year considering John Gonzalez
(Guerrilla game's lead writer), has been working on this project for about 17 months (says on his linkedln profile).

Oooooh yes please! We need more dinosaurs in video games. Less zombies more dinos.

Ive felt that the team need a kojima like director to truly harness their talent. Their games are good but not yet great yet you can see how extremely talented the team is. I would love to see what they could do with the last of us directors guiding them.

[chrish1990]

This is actually a really good point, something I've often thought about, though a little differently. Basically, I've always thought that blockbuster, story driven games could use the likes of movie directors. So for say, mafia 2 as an example who better than martin scorcese, or for an adventure style game like Uncharted - spielberg etc etc. Its not a diss on the current game directors, but they are very similar jobs, maybe in the future as the lines get blurred we'll see more collaborations within the respective industries.

[Hellsvacancy]

"Spielberg" no, he needs to stay away from games, he doesn't even make good films anymore

And Mafia 2 was fine the way it was without Martin Scorsese's help

If anything game directors should help direct films, as most movies are poor these days, imagine if Kojima directed a film

[Wh15ky]

I kind of agree with all of you.

As far as The Last of Us is concerned I thought it was better than any film I have seen in the same genre.

I know it borrowed from the likes of Romero's films, the Mad Max films, 28 Days Later, I Am Legend, The Happening etc. but in my opinion it had better writing, characters, acting, dialogue and pacing than any of those films.

The only problem at the moment is that The Last of Us is pretty much one of a kind.

Films win over games as far as writing etc. for now, but The Last of Us has proven that games have a real potential to take that form of entertainment to another level.

[Jdoki]

There's definitely room for some cross-over collaboration.

I was kinda meh about Silent Hills (even with Kojima attached) - but when I found out he has been working with Guillermo del Torro and Jinji Ito my interest spiked massively as I think they can bring some new ideas to the series

A lot of game development teams are run by people who have that logical / analytical background more suited to development. The creative spark is often missing.

If you look at something like Killzone SF, the OWL was a great idea and used the DS4's touch pad well - but you could tell it was developed as a game tool (an excuse to use the touchpad basically), not as a creative addition that could have been integrated in to the world and story better.

As much as I like Guerilla Games, their titles do tend to feel a bit 'mechanical' - they are solidly built, look phenomenal, play well, but lack a bit of a spark that a creative director should bring.

[peterdawa]

Good points, hopefully sony should realise that some developers that they have are good techwise but not so good in the story department. I would seriously advise them to spread some talent among their teams. Naughty dog seem to have atleast three brilliant story tellers. They should consult with the other teams.

[thanhgee]

The thing is Naughty dog has two teams, one team is working on UC4 and the other is working on an unknown project (TLOU2?). I think it'd be best if they just hire other writers just like Guerrilla games hiring John Gonzalez who was the lead writer for Fallout:New vegas

[peterdawa]

That makes sense. Hope the new writer will also be good though.

[SoulWarrior]

Please don't be an mmo or online focused.

[thanhgee]

Don't get your hopes up but shinobi062, who is an 'insider' has already said that it is a dedicated single player but has online elements such as co-op. Don't take my word for it though, but a lot of his predictions have been correct.

[OB1Biker]

'humans are now being hunted by giant dino-mechs'
I think its more like humans are now hunting giant dino-mechs for resources and stuff.

[The Hillman]

What a ridiculous article! All Guerrilla tweeted was: "Happy new year everyone! We're back to business again and can't wait to make this year succesful!"

The next line of the article says: "Possibly an E3 announcement? We’ll have to wait and see."

Talk about jumping the gun.

[JMyers]

I know right? I was asking myself this when i read the article.

[chrish1990]

Poo, my reply didn't go as a reply. Please see below.

[chrish1990]

Actually, there's another 450 more words in addition to the few you hand picked, no offense. Love the profile pic.

The fact they mention making this year successful is intriguing because it throws up more questions - what are they doing to make this year successful? Its probably nothing to do with KZ SF, that's out of the way now so it makes sense it'd be something related to their new game. I could go on, but I'm not here to piss anyone off, especially a fellow pink floyd fan ;)

[The Hillman]

Hey man,

Look, I know this is going to sound harsh but irrespective of the extra content on that page there's virtually nothing to give credence to what you're suggesting. They are a company, of course they're going to say they hope to have a great 2015. If you wrote the piece you *know* it's a fluff piece with a click bait headline and little substance. If you don't see that then a word to the wise you'll simply give your site a bad name and people won't come back.

I bet that took a bit of time to construct and pull all the elements in so props for that but take it from someone who works for a large editorial business you'll do yourself no favours with articles like that. Fair enough, use click bait headlines, everyone does but you've got to have the substance on page to back it up.

[Wingsfan24]

Please stop with trying to replicate what Abriael does...got enough sites that try to do it and it's god awful reporting. There was no news here, that Tweet didn't even hint at anything and the job posting says nothing we didn't already know.

Not looking to take potshots at you or your website OP, but offering some friendly advice to actually give a damn about your integrity as a reporter, because you'll lose it quick with stories like this all the time. Don't write a headline for a "story", write a headline for a story.

[CervantesPR1]

E3 Reveal please

#greatnessawaits

[Relientk77]

Hopefully we see this at E3
