Guerrilla Games worked on the game for four and a half year. After Killzone 3 twenty developers starting to work on it. They created concepts and prototypes. After Shadow Fall was shipped, the “big team” joined, and after a year and a half they are at the stage we saw yesterday.
This is “by far” the biggest game Guerrilla has ever made.
The game is set a thousand years after the apocalypse.
Eloy, the main character is a machine hunter, she’s about twenty year-old and she’s one of the best hunters of her tribe.
There’s a lot of strategy involved in finding out how to defeat the machines.
Defeating the machines lets you gather resources to craft new weapons, ammo and tools.
The game is a seamless open world, there are a large variety of machines, from small like the Watchers to enormous like the Longnecks.
The demo is running on PS4, and is pre-alpha.
Guerrilla games always tries to make benchmark games for visuals on PlayStation platforms, but they don’t want to go backwards just because it’s open world, they want to improve graphics. A game like this is much tougher in memory and GPU, so they have been pushing the technical artists to the max.
Having made an engine for Killzone: Shadow Fall was good for this game too. Prototypes used even Killzone 3 assets. After shipping Shadow Fall, the studio had its own PS4 engine, and a very mature one at that, but then had to implement streaming, and it took a lot of effort to set that up properly, especially with this amount of detail and content. Yet, now the game is running, and the studio wants to build it further up.
The game’s RPG elements include hunting the machines for resources (beginning with smaller ones to then be able to fighting bigger ones). Crafting is a key component of the game. The game has also “a lot” of quests.
The game is “a new horizon” for Guerrilla Games, and they hope to build it in “a fantastic franchise.” What we’re seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s “so much more stuff” Guerrilla is going to reveal in time, and they’re really looking forward to show more.

>Thousand years after the apocalypse
>Didnt have guns

Id like to know why this is the case

Why would they have guns? The whole point is these humans have no memory of what happened. It happened a long time ago. Long enough for them to not know what happened. They use primitive tools. And can use some things dropped by enemies, so there's that.

What is scavenging

leave a gun outside for 10 years and see how well it works for you, and then get back to us on why they wouldn't have guns thousands of years later

Theres fucking machines walking around, you'd think their technology has evolved so that their weapons last. Besides, intact interios are most likely a thing.

People die. Knowledge gets lost. Like you said there's machines walking around. Don't over think it.
And there might be guns, just few and far between. We don't know yet.

Sony showed the most games yesterday but none of them looked good. (Except Uncharted)

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Completely unrelated to the topic too.

It's not though. This was shown at Sony's E3.

If you don't think it looks good, then you could have said that, instead of bringing other games into it. Really, this is just for people to see. If you don't think it looks any good, then why bother posting?

I like it entirely for the fact that it isn't generic corridor shooter #183142 or Fallout with Spears. Will probably keep an eye on it.

Game's gonna suck. She's not three-quarters naked, and her breasts don't cause earthquakes.

0/10

Literally unplayable

Behind Halo 5, it's the best thing I saw at E3. I need this game.

Yeah, I'm really interested to see how big it is. They have been working on it for 5 years. It's open world, and they say there's plenty of things to do.

At least a decade from now. Looks at Killzone 2. It was a great game. Their best Killzone game, and their best game by far. They started work on it in 2004. Announced it at E3 2005. And it didn't come out till 2009. That was a linear shooter with a bit of focus on MP too. This is open world. We may never see it lol.
