Oh know rite, all like subverting expectation n shit maybe I've just never had this particular itch scratched as I've never played roller coaster tycoon, but that looks crazy fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted August 12, 2014 Wild is the most interesting thing I've seen shown so far. We should make an idle thumbs clan and all play as puffins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RubixsQube Posted August 12, 2014 This is actually a pretty fucking great trailer from the Microsoft briefing Yo Microsoft, I’m really happy for you, Imma let you finish but Disney had one of the best create-and-ride-a-roller-coaster games of all time… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted August 12, 2014 I got Rollercoaster Tycoon in a GOG sale, I should really go and play that dumb game again. So much nostalgia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Griddlelol Posted August 12, 2014 yeah you're right, paying closer attention to the wording, 'exclusive in 2015' could end up being just a timed exclusive for one month and it'll come on on PS4 Jan 2016 Apparently it's "exclusive for holiday 2015" which doesn't mean a hell of a lot. There's some serious hate going around, people can get crazy over some dumb stuff. However I have absolutely no interest in Tomb Raider after the last instalment.

Bjorn Posted August 12, 2014 We should make an idle thumbs clan and all play as puffins The Idle Thumbs Puffin Flock, a video games clan exclusive to Wild, exclusive to the Playstation 4, exclusively designed by Michel Ancel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
undermind9 Posted August 12, 2014 I feel like I'd be spoiling the game for myself if I watch this a second time weird feeling of Wind Waker here; animation style, lots of water, islands, even the tower very pretty though, i always appreciate imaginative animated stone things (1:24). when i finally get a ps4 in 20XX i'll have it on my watch-for list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted August 12, 2014 WiLD (is it really capitalized like that........) I want to play this game. I was already planning on getting a PS4 as soon as I got a job. This is just another reason. The giant underwater skeleton and the giant tree lady. Plus Ancel. Yes. Yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted August 12, 2014 Did I miss something about gameplay from Wild(Not going to go with that dumb capitalization if its real) because I have literally no idea what the game is from that trailer. Is it like Tokyo Jungle or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted August 12, 2014 "The open-world game features an enormous universe, dynamic weather, and the ability to play as any creature you wish. "Devoted to the wilderness," its promotional text says. "Set 10,000 years ago when nature and humanity were one." Ancel expleined, "We wanted to make a very specific type of game," and on a single platform. "Our concept is based on experiencing new situations each time you play."

Okay cool, but that still doesn't tell me what kind of game this is... am I playing any creature like a third person adventure game? Are there skills, stats, items, etc..? Saying universe instead of world... what does that mean? Anyway, not to be too hard on it, just the trailer told me nothing and the description only fills people with imagination which seems odd since it mentions "a specific type of game" but give no real details on exactly what kind of game it is.

Bjorn Posted August 12, 2014 Those are good questions, but at this point I'm willing to give Ancel the benefit of the doubt that the mechanics will be compelling and that more will be revealed about it. For a teaser, it did it's job. I am teased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JonCole Posted August 13, 2014 Phil Spencer said that Tomb Raider is a timed exclusive, though obviously doesn't have insight into whether Crystal is actively working toward other platforms - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-08-13-microsoft-confirms-rise-of-the-tomb-raider-xbox-exclusivity-deal-has-a-duration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dosed Posted August 13, 2014 So is what Bioware's "You Have Been Chosen" campaign thing has been about? Seems way less tonally sinister than I was lead to believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerofiftyone Posted August 13, 2014 So is what Bioware's "You Have Been Chosen" campaign thing has been about? Seems way less tonally sinister than I was lead to believe. Wow, this video is so tonally different from the earlier teasers it's bordering on Dead Island levels of misleading. I was sure I was watching a trailer for something completely unrelated until the tagline came up at the end. Ugh, video games I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted August 13, 2014 I don't know what it is, but I'm completely adverse to modern day setting with people fighting with magic and swords. I think enough games have tried it and fell completely flat. I think I've been burnt enough times to just get queasy any time I see anyone try it again.

Merus Posted August 14, 2014 The Dead Island comparison is an interesting one because the teaser for that game was clearly made by a creative company that's more creative than the people making the final product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dosed Posted August 14, 2014 It looks incredibly bland and pretty low fidelity compared to what else is being offered. It's a shame 'coz the teasers were pretty exciting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apelsin Posted August 14, 2014 I'm fine with "urban fantasy" as a genre, but that game looked very, very dull. The art direction for the big bad monster looked really bland and the game itself didn't seem to be all that interesting either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
