I want this game to just be DRIPPING with atmosphere. Beautiful volumetric fog rolling through the brick streets, victorian-era garments lining the people walking, talking, and LIVING, stuff like that. Garsh I'm excited.

 

[Abdul Hafeez]

PERFECTION.

 

[Loudninja]

wait, so peeps got to play it? i thought ru did a 40 min demo and sony will be releasing broll footage much like what they do for every game.

Nah it was hands off.

 

[EmptySpace]

Nice. I'm imagining less gamey animations and lots of variety...

yeah hopefully kinda like what ascension did. you still dodge and attack during such scenes.

 

[Jigolo]

Like I said before. I feel like this is the first game this gen that's going to have Gears Of War, Killzone 2, God Of War 3 feel that made you say welcome to next gen. (Of course KZ2 and GOW3 were later in the gen but they still blew minds)

You're correct. B-roll footage is so that people that were at the event can provide commentary while showing gameplay. Gamersyde wasn't at the event so they can't provide commentary which makes it so they can't post b-roll. B-roll is not allowed to be posted raw.

nah they'll get one somewhere.

Ha Playstation Europe posted the reminder for a 3rd time now
https://twitter.com/PlayStationEU/status/435503947743129600

2PM I shall have a cup of tea and a packet of biscuits ready, it had better release on time.

 

[Goreomedy]

And this is why I think the hype is out of control in this thread. Remember, guys, we're not going to see the lengthy demo that "rivaled Uncharted 2 Nepal!" We get a trailer and carefully selected b-roll underscored by gaming press regurgitation.

 

[Joeki11a]

So they fight wolves mutants?

Eh we already know that.

 

[RoboPlato]

They aren't allowed to. Blim has said this before. B-roll rarely is shown on Gamersyde. They'll almost definitely have the trailer but not the gameplay footage.

who said something remotely like that?

 

[VanWinkle]

The worst part about this new gen is that streaming video can't do the games justice, and sites can't monetize downloaded videos, so we just can't get proper looks at these games. It's frustrating.

 

[viveks86]

who said something remotely to that?

He goes by the name of Straw Man

 

[noobasuar]

Cautiously excited to see the game due to the atmosphere that we've seen so far.

I do think think that third person cover shooters are the absolute worst genre ever made though so I can't say I'm way too excited but I'm sure this will look cool based on what we've seen so far.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

One of you insiders should PM me the trailer. I promise I won't tell

 

[KennyLinder]

Mini Eggs!

 

[Goreomedy]

Thuway.

I don't get it....

 

[Blimblim]

really? they posted broll for both kzsf and infamous.

I'm not really sure what you are talking about, but we certainly didn't put online any b-roll of any game (knowingly, at least) for years now, unless we had a written agreement from the publisher. We learned the hard way in the past that we were big enough for PR to know we fucked up, but not big enough that it would "forgiven"
As for tomorrow's trailer, we might get it a few minutes in advance and be ready for the embargo date, but I wouldn't count on it.

 

[PJV3]

Mini Eggs!

Tempting, I'll probably stick to a packet of ginger nuts or garibaldi.
Traditional biscuits seem more fitting for this occasion.

 

[viveks86]

I don't get it....

Thuway.

No he didn't. He said the press reaction was similar to that of the Nepal reveal. And that has been reinforced by other people talking to journalists as well. No one said anything about a lengthy gameplay demo being shown to us.

 

[Honey Bunny]

Mini Eggs!

I see your mini eggs and raise you scotch eggs.

 

[X-Factor]

HYPED. Not sure how the 4 protagonists fit into a single player game.

Hopefully it won't be something like that one Insomniac made recently. The name escapes me because it was so bland.

ooo looking forward to it.

 

[FourMyle]

I have a feeling those videos are going to be 95% logos and 5 seconds of gameplay

FUSE.

Nope

My report is all set to go for tomorrow morning. 1,300+ words, gameplay footage, new trailer, and I think 20 screenshots. I transcribed a lot of what Ru from Ready at Dawn said during our session.

#Soon

By the way, I encoded the video at the highest setting Compressor would allow. Obviously, Youtube has screwed things up in the past, but it actually looks great on YT right now (it's preloaded but set to Private, sorry)

No, I'm saying, that set the expectation.

Of course our first impression is going to be nothing like what the press experienced at the event. That's not how Sony does things. And that's disappointing to me.

 

[IAmRandom31]

All this hype in my veins from a Ready at Dawn title lol. ( and no, not dissing them, but just saying they are not at the level of SMS or Naughty Dog atm )

I don't think I can handle the month leading up to E3 when we will actually SEE the next-gen Naughty Dog engine with Uncharted reveal, and more then likely will see what the full blown SMS studio can do with the PS4 with their next IP or God of War 4. Good lawd.

But if what Ready at Dawn is doing is any indication of what tools SMS has at their disposal ... this generation is going to be EPIC.

 

[BloodMoney]

looking forward to seeing volumetric everything + soft body physics + cray cray weaponry

 

[viveks86]

No, I'm saying, that set the expectation.

We will know soon enough

Until then…

You want to get on it or not?

 

[EL CUCO]

I think its safe to say we will see a more in depth The Order than what we saw at E3. I think thats what people are hyped for. What more can you ask for?

 

[EmptySpace]

why would you even listen to hyperbolic previews? their eyeballs couldn't process it, fine. their hands were shaking as they held the controller, fine. the story is akin to a dickens story, fine. but for the rest of us who live in the real world, we'd look at the trailer and pick out the parts we liked and we didn't and discuss those meaningfully with others.

 

[Lemondish]

Something serious must've been wrong with that game cause it was delayed at the last minute. And if it was nothing serious, then it should've been out by now.

Wasn't the rumour that it was being retooled to release alongside the VR headset?

Doesn't need to be doom and gloom - there could be a positive reason for the delay.

 

[nelsonroyale]

I am with you. I don't think they should reveal the 40 minutes segment obviously. But they uncut gameplay would be best. Kojima is pretty good at this. However, I do like Rockstars walkthroughs a lot as well.

 

[Nozem]

Let's see if some real muscle is needed to make the PS4 sing.

That's my point, EmptySpace. That's the shit I can't stand. I'd rather they post the 40 minute demonstration online, wouldn't you?

 

[EmptySpace]

or, you know, they figured out the game needed time and since the ps4 is still out of stock even so close to infamous second son, they don't really.need to push the.platform so much at the moment.

 

[Abdul Hafeez]

I wonder if anyone from Giantbomb saw the game.

 

[Goreomedy]

A walkthrough would be great. I wouldn't turn down video of the whole presentation.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Man those weapons and second fire attributes

 

[Abdul Hafeez]

It sure took them awhile to figure it out. Same with Watch Dogs. How can they not know if their own game is done or not?

I don't think you'll want to see 40 minutes of gameplay. That might ruin a certain section of the game for you.

I'm sure we'll see whatever amazing demo of an entire level at E3 and depending on how amazing that is, it could be the most discussed title at E3

It will probably be amazing, but I hope we have other certain titles to discuss at E3 this year as well

 

[viveks86]

Exactly. I'm happy just seeing enough to understand what I'm going to play and how it all comes together. Anything more than that is just spoilers.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

That's my point, EmptySpace. That's the shit I can't stand. I'd rather they post the 40 minute demonstration online, wouldn't you?

Posting a 40 min demo for a game that months away makes no sense .
People would ripe it apart , DC is the perfect eg of this .

 

[SgtCobra]

My expectations are in check, will judge the game tomorrow when we finally have some footage.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

I wonder if anyone from Giantbomb saw the game.

I think those guys are done going to press events. They don't even consider themselves part of the press. They are more into current content (Titanfall beta, Dark Souls 2 soon, spelunky).
