I assume you are just speaking of robot dinosaurs in games.

So March 2010 is when production began.
Anyone else finding it pretty unnerving that we're at 6 year development cycles now...

Well yeah sorry should have specified
That's what happens when you play it safe. Too me many games are just slight variations of another. It really about how everything comes together and this game is looking like a winner!
No, doesn't matter to me. Devs can do their thing.

They also said that they didn't actually have the full team on it until KZ:SF was done, which was 2-3 years ago (launch + DLC dev.) Most of the other three years were thinking up other ideas, prototyping them, etc etc.
I would imagine that most major studios have that sort of workflow, where you have people doing pre-production work for the next game for most of the current title's development so they can hit the ground running when the current game is done.
Not that surprising considering they didn't have a full team until after KZ:SF and such a swift in there game design and changes to there engine.

Great concept and love the fact they are willing (and able) to take these kinds of chances.
Dat Zoids shoutout. We gonna see a Liger Zero in the game?
Its like Versus 13. The project began then, but they didn't make it public or anything unlike SE. They tossed around concepts and essentially made the skeleton. They didn't start full production on actually making the game until a little before Shadowfall shipped.

It wasn't a full 6 years of pure development. The first year or so was mostly preparation before they got to really working on it after KZSF launched.
What a fantastic video. Guerrilla is pouring all of their hearts and souls into this project and it really shows. They've been given the opportunity of a lifetime and they know and have every intention of making good on it. Based on everything from previews, trailers, hands-on impressions, interviews... I really truly believe they're going to nail this.

Spottet a new robodino.
Imagine if Hello Games made a word cloud out of all of the post-release NMS threads.
It would probably be the most accusatory, foul-mouthed word cloud to ever be digitally birthed.

No, not really. Look at Bioshock Infinite game took 4-5 years to get to market and it's not even close to the size of this game.
Also note they have different teams, and at the time people were working on finishing touches on Killzone 3. Then following 2011 they got the SKD's for the new console and had one group working on Killzone:Shadowfall then Guerrilla Cambridge working on Mercenary.
So when they started in 2010 mainly was in concept stage, writing story, characters, some story boards, and early game concepts.
Probably wasn't until late 2011 where they started making character models and such without official PS4 hardware.

I have to say I agree. The game has shown amazingly in trailers but you never know if that's going to be accurate to when you actually play the game. But seeing how much love and passion this team has for the project really is awesome. I agree I think they are going to nail this, and that's pretty impressive considering this is coming from a developer that has never even made a game in the RPG genre before.

If they nail the story/quests i think they have gold in their hands. Really nice job of GI on the coverage of this game.

I hope this game is even half as amazing as I'm imagining it! Great interview, it was neat to see them describe how switching genres came about.

I've been interested but not really keeping up with the game. Surprisingly that video is the thing that's completely sold me on the game, could definitely see their enthusiasm and the game looks good. Will be there day 1.

Compare that to the abysmal tools for Destiny where it takes like 4 hours just if they want to move a rock

When you are talking preproduction which is basically all art and conception not really. Which is what this was.
If you have a full team churning with programmers and everything that concerns me. That's when budgets go insane and Devs go out of business.
