O.o

These artworks are AMAZING! If true, the attention to detail in this game is gonna be STUNNING!

And they want the female main caracther to look like Anne Hathaway??? <3

I also loved the more serious/realistic tone for this game!

Playground Games might be crafting an EPIC RPG Masterpiece!

Gazondaily1705d ago

You got all that from the artwork?

Wtf does God of War's artwork have to do with this lol? With GoW, they showed off the game beforehand.

I wouldn't get too carried away with some artwork and declaring a masterpiece in the works.

God of War's artworks leaked before the official announcement/reveal!

"I wouldn't get too carried away with some artwork and declaring a masterpiece in the works."

You got a point. These aren´t official artworks, because if real, it´s clearly violation of NDA.

Gazondaily1704d ago

Oh my bad. I didn't realise GoWs artwork leaked before the reveal. Okay you can get excited :P

Zeref1704d ago (Edited 1704d ago )

This is just concept art and it's not even necessarily resembling the game.

It was made as part of a brief that Playground made for concept artists to get hired. This is one of the ones submitted.

That said, this art style does look a lot like Fable 3.

monkey6021704d ago

Wow that's a stretch of ambition from character concept sheet of all things. I like the idea of Playground doing an open world rpg and can't look forward to seeing what they've got but temper those hopes pal.

monkey6021704d ago

Okay I don't know what happened there but I didn't mean to say can't. I think I was trying to say can't wait and then said look forward to.... anyway I am actually excited to see what they do. They've earned my optimism as a developer.

@Obscure_Observer

Why are you always so hyper? Everything is an 11/10 with you.

gangsta_red1704d ago

Yeah, people shouldn't get excited over things they like or are anticipating.

LMosche1704d ago

Looks cartoonish. Disappointing especially after one of Playgrounds devs made fan art of Berserk.

Ceaser98573611703d ago

Is it the rumored FABLE game?? Never played Fable so would def love to give it a try

This looks like Assassin's Creed but you're also a maid, killing people and cleaning up the house.

spicelicka1704d ago

Was waiting for someone to make a killer maid game!

gangsta_red1704d ago

I hope these are true and make it into the game.

Looks really cool

RememberThe3571704d ago

Could be the main character no? If this really is a Fable reboot, I'll be hyped. Fable always gets to me.

gangsta_red1704d ago

Or could be a main NPC, hopefully it is apart of the Fable reboot.

It definitely needs a do over after part 3.

RememberThe3571704d ago

True, either way I already like the character design and I hope that carries over to the environments and animations, as well. Definitely gives off some Fable feels, even if it ends up being something different. Love me some whimsical fantasy!

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 8h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 8h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 8h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 7h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

GaboonViper1d 8h ago

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing12h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

shinoff21831d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I hope not.

just_looken21h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper20h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 11h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 11h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 7h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 10h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 9h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 8h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
