PS4 Exclusive 'Wild' Is Still Alive

Remember Wild? It's the open-world survival adventure game from Wild Sheep Studios and the creator of Beyond Good and Evil and Rayman, Michel Ancel, that is being developed exclusively for PlayStation 4. I don't blame you if you don't remember it. We haven't seen or head anything about the game since 2015, and as a result many think it's nothing more than vaporware. But, apparently, it's still alive and kicking.

More specifically, out of nowhere, Sony Interactive Entertainment filed for a new trademark in the United States for none other than Wild, confirming the game hasn't been cancelled, and that it could still yet release in the near future.

The E3 trailer got me excited about this one. Glad it's still in development.

VenomUK2262d ago

When I saw the first trailer I thought it looked like it could be really fun and I love the bit where the characters are swimming near the ocean bed by the giant skeleton king. However I did suspect the game was dead so I hope this trademark means it is still coming.

Christopher2262d ago

This is the new The Last Guardian for me. I'll expect it never and likely won't be interested in it whenever it finally releases.

UltraNova2261d ago (Edited 2261d ago )

If you haven't played tLG (and have previously played SotC) you are missing out, the game was fine.

As for the matter at hand - a new trademark filing doesn't mean anything, the game might as well be shelved as we speak.

KickSpinFilter2261d ago

TLG was pretty awesome, really cool Trico AI once you figure it out.

isarai2263d ago

This has gone deep into vaproware territory for me personally, it's gonna take something good to drag it back onto my radar honestly. Not saying i don't want to get it, just saying it's hard to remember something that's been quiet this long.

Knushwood Butt2263d ago

This and Biomutant are still on my radar.

sampsonon2262d ago

when it's ready Sony will release it. it's probably quality control, which is why i like Sony exclusives.
they either release it fully realized or they don't release it at all.

looking forward to playing it once Sony gives it the mighty Sony stamp of approval.

porkChop2263d ago

Considering we haven't heard anything at all in over 3 years, the game is likely going through development hell. This is why games shouldn't be announced until they're close to release. The hype for this game is pretty much dead and it would take a lot to get people really interested in it again.

sampsonon2262d ago

1 in 10 games might go through this so called "development hell". that's not enough of a reason for Sony to hold back announcements. i for one love the anticipation.

salmonade2262d ago

That's purely speculation. All they need to do is get it right, and then release a hype trailer when they know it's close. People will jump back on in no time. I trust in Sony to help get this game right.

porkChop2262d ago

I mean, sure, it's speculation. But games don't go dark for this long unless there are issues or development is on hiatus for some reason.

Traecy2262d ago

Agreed. Imo games should be announced when they're 75% completed,with a 6 to 12 month release window.

salmonade2262d ago (Edited 2262d ago )

For sure. I think both Microsoft and Sony have learned their lessons in that regard. I believe it's part of the reason why Sony is skipping E3. They've got even more games in the pipeline, but they do not want to announce them too early anymore.

ApocalypseShadow2263d ago (Edited 2263d ago )

Sure. And we'll see it after about 3 or 4 different Division games, Watch Dog games,etc. Just like we had to wait through a lot of Splinter Cells just to get a port of Beyond Good and Evil and told a sequel was based on its sales. And when we do see it, it's nothing like what fans want. And it still hasn't gotten a release.

I'll believe it when I see it. Especially if it's without a grind fest game mechanic.

Shame, it looked interesting at the time

Agent75108d ago

Shame, but the same old type of game from Sony.

S2Killinit108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

You mean masterpiece

Christopher108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

A MP open world game the size of an actual continent where you can control animals or turn into them? Yeah. Same old Sony game. /s

RedDevils107d ago

You mean Tokyo jungle, that game was fun.

XiNatsuDragnel110d ago

Very shameful I hope ubisoft if they go bankrupt should get there servers and release the files online since by that time they'll be defunct

Ristul108d ago

I was hyped for the game when they showed the first trailers, to bad it didnt make it.

Agent75108d ago

That's the thing with Sony, they keep knocking out these 'running about' games. I thought Sony would've released Driveclub on PS5 with extra tracks and with VR. A new Motorstorm didn't surface on PS4 or even a Motorstorm collection as with Uncharted and God of War. Wild probably would've been a top game and the chances of Sony going back to it is probably never going to happen. The Getaway 3 was canned on PS3, although the first game was flawed and the sequel took a graphics downgrade and was tragic. Sony are clinically obsessed with this genre.

lucasnooker108d ago

I loved the getaway part 1. It’s one of my favourite ps2 titles and I revisit it from time to time. Great plot, interesting characters, unique mechanics. Sure it’s a little clunky and dated to today’s standards but there’s no other game quite like it.

Giga_Gaia108d ago

I am more disapointed about Deep Down. Wild didn't interest me at all.

Lesson learned - Don't work with Ubi

Blaze929168d ago

Ehhh, the same one that was making team members cry and him calling them worthless? Don't work with Ancel

isarai169d ago

Was wondering what happened to this game, seems interesting but whateves 🤷‍♂️

TheCaptainKuchiki168d ago (Edited 168d ago )

I was so disappointed that this game died.
But Ancel himself isn't entirely clean....
He has an habit of not finishing games.

RaiderNation168d ago

Man there's quite a long line forming of canceled/dormant 3rd party projects for PlayStation that never came out...

Agent
Deep Down
Wild
Little Devil Inside
Pragmata
Silent Hills

And I know there's more!

S2Killinit168d ago

Teams that score the most goals also miss the most shots.

Tacoboto168d ago

That's just how a business person massages "inefficiency" to their boss.

Gameseeker_Frampt168d ago (Edited 168d ago )

"Teams that score the most goals also miss the most shots."

That is not how any of that works, but nice attempt at deflecting. In your mind, the Portland Trail Blazers must be an amazing team this year since they hold 3 of the top 5 spots for most shots missed in a game.

thorstein168d ago (Edited 168d ago )

Last night the Toronto Maple Leafs took 14 shots and the NJ Devils took 38.

Toronto won 2-1 proving that the quality of shots is far more important than the quantity.

Lol depends on what sport I guess. Im Football/Soccer, its true.

Knushwood Butt168d ago

It's better to try and fail than not try at all.

That's a nice one, but if you work for a crappy company then;

It's better to try and fail than not try at all.
However, if you fail, expect a witch-hunt and then to be thrown under the bus. Oh, and leadership isn't going to do anything to try and address the root-causes of the issues, as they'll be too busy trying to tick boxes, or with the next witch-hunt, which will come along very soon.

S2Killinit167d ago (Edited 167d ago )

Im sure none of you believe Sony is not about quality. Pretty sure their domination speaks for the quality of their products.

Tacoboto167d ago

Concord. Horizon Horizon Horizon. TLOU Part 1 PC at launch.

I don't know about the others but i have hope for Little Devil. It'll still come

Notellin168d ago

Knights of the Old Republic remake should have been on this list.

Agent75108d ago

You look at game pricing this gen, some of these games will flop. £70 for PS5 games, Sony raised the price of PS4 games, all these years on, the PS4 is still out there, PS5 was released too early and now we're soon heading for PS6. It staggers me that Sony and Microsoft can't see that gaming is heading for a crash.

I was really stoked for this. I liked that giant Snake-lady god or whatever it was. It looked like it had some great art direction.
