Predator Hunting Grounds Gameplay Trailer Revealed

Predator Hunting Grounds Gameplay Trailer has finally been released! Watch the iconic movie monster The Predator in action!

WorldGamer1730d ago

Early gameplay, looks a bit rough around the edges (could be the Youtube video quality), but seems to have potential. I am looking forward to more information on this one for sure.

Obscure_Observer1730d ago

Lol! To think that some people crapped on Bleeding Edge!

IamTylerDurden11730d ago (Edited 1730d ago )

Ppl were disappointed with Bleeding Edge for many reasons.

When MS acquired Ninja Theory ppl worried that MS would ruin them and exploit the studio for Game Pass shovelware. Ppl worried that the studio known for Heavenly Sword and Hellblade would now be pushed towards GaaS and mp style games as to align with Microsoft's gaming and monetization philosophy. Of course MS denied this and gave the same bullshit company speech they always do. Then, E3 rolls around and the very first project from Ninja Theory is a 4v4 Overwatch style GaaS mp game that will surely push MTs in some capacity. And yes, we know, Ninja was prototyping this game among others prior to the acquisition. That's the "big argument" for why it's ok. Obviously Ninja Theory had several ideas as most developers do, and it's telling that this is the game that gets the green light.

I think ppl were hoping for a high quality game along the lines of Heavenly Sword and Hellblade. To make the criticism worse they call it "Bleeding Edge". The game isn't innovative or even cutting edge in any capacity. The art style is like Overwatch, Fortnite, and Apex Legends had a baby and Ninja Theory breast fed it with Battleborn. The game style isn't innovative. It's a 4v4 mp game. It appears to be a service game. The graphics certainly aren't best in class let alone Bleeding Edge. It's a budget service game for Game Pass and MS actually tried to convince ppl that these studio acquisitions would produce real, creative, art.

This is why ppl are pissed about Bleeding Edge and anyone with knowledge on the subject should know that Predator was an Illfonic project so expectations should be for a Predator themed Friday The 13th style game. Predator is probably more than a year out, so surely the footage is raw and will improve, but we knew this would be a game based on fun rather than beauty and polish. I expect a more polished game than Friday The 13th, but to expect a flawless gem is idiotic. This isn't a Sony first party, it's a guilty pleasure title for fans of asymmetrical mp and fans of Predator. The footage is what you'd expect from this game at the pre alpha stage. Tbh, this looked like a quickly thrown together gameplay trailer where they just cut some pre alpha footage and slapped a logo, whereas, Bleeding Edge was a big E3 stage reveal with a professional trailer, and it still looked terrible.

@IamTylerDurden1

Bleeding Edge has been in development since 2015 and here we are in 2019 to bare witness of your staged act pretending to be disappointed that the game was the first to be greenlit. You can´t honestly think that it wouldn´t happen.

"The game isn't innovative or even cutting edge in any capacity."

Yeah, tell me more about other 4v4 arena multiplayer game focused on HACK N SLASH. I´ll wait.

"Bleeding Edge was a big E3 stage reveal with a professional trailer, and it still looked terrible."

Says the guy with Knack as avatar. I´m sure that Bleeding Edge will score far better than 5.0

The avatar is Knack 2, which was actually a highly underrated game that fell victim to the negative press of the original and thus suffered critically and commercially because of it. I created the avatar years ago when Knack 2 released because i felt the game deserved more recognition and foolish ppl like yourself were still perpetuating the same "Knack sucks" drivel and clouding the fact that Knack 2 was actually pretty good. I also enjoyed the game and haven't bothered to change the avatar. Should i change it to Horizon? God of War? Uncharted 4? Spider-man? Death Stranding? TLoU 2? Ghost of Tsushima? Dreams? Astro Bot? Blood & Truth? Yakuza? Ni No Kuni II? Resogun? Nex Machina? Shadow of the Colossus? Nioh? Until Dawn? Pyre? MLB The Show? Gravity Rush 2? Tearaway Unfolded? Detroit? Infamous SS? Lost Legacy? R&C? Bloodborne? Or any of the other excellent and excellent looking PS4/console exclusives? Because there are many, and i've played and enjoyed the majority of those games.

God of War, Spider-man, Gungeon, Resogun, Transistor, Pyre, R&C, and Bloodborne are some of my favorite games this gen and i've platinum them all. If u are using a Knack 2 avatar as an argument for me having poor taste or because u think all things Knack are immediately terrible and because of the avatar i don't have the right to criticise Bleeding Edge, i think u are a bit off.

It's hard to believe Bleeding Edge has been in legitimate development for 4 years. Either Ninja Theory has been prototyping numerous games over the years, like many companies, and Bleeding Edge was one of them or they built the game and couldn't find a publisher because it's terrible. It's just fitting that this is the first game under Microsoft when over the last 12 or so years Ninja Theory has produced nothing but visually impressive sp games like Heavenly Sword, DmC, Enslaved, and Hellblade. Who knows? Maybe Bleeding Edge has been in development for 4 years but nobody wanted it? I guess they signed with Microsoft and Phil and Co fell in love with its mp setup, its service based approach, its budget development cost, and the enormous microtransaction potential. It's a Microsoft, Game Pass special through and through. It allows MS to double dip by adding to Game Pass and still getting your money through microtransactions.

A 4v4 mp game is cutting or "bleeding" edge because it features melee attacks and shooting? The game does have shooting as well, but because it features brawling it's innovative? Bleeding Edge is basically a 4v4 Drawn to Death with a less innovative art style. It's a less dynamic and more budget version of Anarchy Reigns with half the player count and no campaign.

If u think competitive brawler shooters are something the industry has never seen, u are uninformed. Anarchy Reigns released last gen, Platinum Games, up to 8v8 competitive brawler but with far more playable characters and a sp campaign. Drawn to Death is a competitive brawler shooter that released a few years back. Gang Beasts is a different style, but it's literally a 4v4 multiplayer brawler. Even Let it Die is a more innovative hack n slash game with competitive elements. Let it Die is far more progressive.

@IamTylerDurden1

DRAWN TO DEATH!? Another 5.0 game!?

And you still wonder why i think you have poor taste for games?

I can understand why people that were expecting a SP Only game from NT got disappointed by Bleeding Edge, i do.

But to call it terrible? To put in question NT´s technical skill, outstanding work and product quality of their game while comparing Bleeding Edge with S#%! games like Knack and Drawn to Death? Really?

You can bet you live that despite all that hate, Bleeding Edge will score better than all those crap games that you mentioned and i´ll be here to call you out on your bs!

You´re just crapping on BE because it will not be avaliable on your preferred (and only) console, it´s pretty clear.

I remember how you used to crap on Unreal Engine 4 till Days Gone got announced. All the sudden UE4 become a fantastic engine! A turd will turn gold since it´s on Playstation, right? I´m expecting such hypocrisy from people such as you once Sunset Overdrive 2 gets announced by Sony!

Need more than just pre-alpha footage. Hopefully they finish the game on time.

gangsta_red1730d ago

This game will make you a god damned sexual tyrannosaurus.

traumadisaster1730d ago

The down votes MUST be the uninformed...great movie line.

OneEyedSteve1730d ago

Looks awful, same people that made Friday The 13th says it all.

excaliburps1730d ago

I literally laughed out loud when I saw it. No joke.

IamTylerDurden11730d ago (Edited 1730d ago )

You laughed out loud at pre-alpha footage that looked like pre-alpha footage? Are you a casual? Did you not know this is being developed by the same ppl who made Friday The 13th? Were you expecting God of War visuals? The game looks fine for what it is, the soldiers looked mediocre and the gameplay wasn't polished, but the Predator actually looked good and his suite of abilities were pretty far along and fairly impressive for this stage.

Obviously the soldiers aren't final version and more time was spent on Predator and level design thus far, which makes sense. The characters and gunplay should definitely tighten up as time goes on.

It's weird how ppl freak out so heavily when Sony develops or in this case merely Publishes a game that isn't immediately beautiful.

I remember ppl acted like GT Sport was the ugliest game of all-time when gameplay was originally shown. Ppl overreacted, it was actually fucking nuts. I was perplexed at the time because the game looked fine for the stage it was at and when GT Sport released it was GORGEOUS. I never expected Predator to be a looker, but did expect ppl to have fun with it.

IamTylerDurden11730d ago (Edited 1730d ago )

Friday The 13th was enormously popular despite being rough around the edges and this game should have a larger budget and more publisher oversight. This is pre alpha gameplay, but i suppose ppl are used to ultra polished vertical slices from E3 with visuals that aren't representative of the final product?

It's going to be a Predator version of Friday The 13th with higher production value, but this was never going to be a technical powerhouse. PS4 has most of the visual stunners on console, i think it'll be ok if one PS4 exclusive isn't eye meltingly gorgeous.

Soldiers looked mediocre, but Predator actually looked impressive and the move sets were very cool. The Predator IP is tailor-made for asymmetrical mp and if ever a game of this ilk was going to intrigue me it would take an IP like Predator.

They need to have legendary playable characters like Carl Weathers, Arnie, and Jesse Ventura. Maybe even Danny Glover?

-Foxtrot1730d ago

Yeah I think I'd have preferred a single player Predator game like concrete jungle

Nitrowolf21730d ago

I'm sad
I really wanted this to look great, but I knew Illfonic from Friday The 13th so I had my doubts.

Predator looks good in terms of gameplay, but the human players don't.

This was a free PS+ game like 3 years ago.... I liked it but didn't know anyone else playing it. I'm surprised devs are still working on it

just_looken47d ago

Probably a contract deal so many dead games out there have devs working on them.

I mean ea just gave 2042 2 more seasons those poor devs

ChronoJoe47d ago

A lot of people like 2042, it doesn't benefit EA to stop working on it, and I bet the devs are happy doing it too. If you want to feel sorry for any developers it should be based on their working conditions, not to fit whatever agenda of games you don't like.

BISHOP-BRASIL47d ago

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but amid massive layoffs from all sides, saying "poor devs" because they are working on games we don't care about sound a bit out of touch with reality.

just_looken47d ago

@chro

Its not in top 40 most played xbox games despite being free (gamepass) millions have gamepass but has hit over 10k worldwide on steam.

I say poor devs as they are forced to work on this despite they could be working on a new bf game or a whole new idea. Another example is that avengers game or babaloyns fall last year

Poor working conditions is a whole other way to common thing that needs to go but you can have both bad working conditions and a contract to make 5 skins a week that few users will see then 5 years of working on one title you get fired when you try for another job it comes off that you have 0 experience as you worked on one game that entire time.

Cacabunga47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

See, just writing the word exclusive in the title makes the news popular.. who said exclusives didn’t matter??

Never ever heard of this game.. God they try to give it another shot.

56 Metacritic game. I heard it's really not good

DarXyde47d ago

No idea. Haven't played it.

More options are good however.

Elda47d ago

Welcoming an old tired game? LOL!!

Obscure_Observer46d ago

We welcome every game. Old and new.

Christopher46d ago

Look, am I a fan of games going more places? Absolutely. Am I a fan of this game or think others would get a ton of enjoyment out of it? No. But, you know what, if it's your thing, it's your thing. I got my games that suck. Just, hard to be happy that Xbox folk are getting this and maybe not something better.
