Rumour: First details of the new IP of Guerrilla Games surfaces

PSNow! claims to have a close source, and has unveiled the first details of the new IP of Guerrilla Games, which Herman Hurst announced a few months ago.

We'll see if E3 is the moment to announce the right place to make it official.

[Surfaced]

What's up with that website's header image for the article?

And "Custom Lairs"??

Oh god... is it really.....?

[Hidalgo]

Google doesn't translate properly.

It makes perect sense in Spanish, maybe I can solve your doubts. Please feel free to ask if you will.

ie: where it says "NPM", the original article says NGP.

edit:
ie2: Jesus... where google says "Sony's Laptop" the original article says "Sony's new handheld". Just to let you know.

[velocitygamer]

Will be interesting to see what they come up with. Guerilla Games are very talented, and when they mean they can deliver, they CAN deliver it. Remember that 2005 Killzone 2 trailer? Everyone thought it was impossible? Look at Killzone 3, it surpassed it by miles.

[afterMoth]

I love the Killzone games (II more than III) but the games don't look nearly as good as the trailer. Same goes for Motorstorm, easily one of the best racing games but it doesn't match the trailer.

Back on topic, I'm 100% positive they'll put out something awesome.

[WhittO]

TBH, I think Sony should employ GG for developing tech/Game Engines etc for others to use.

I think their games have the most impressive quality visuals out there on ps3.

BUT.. I have to say, no matter how amazing GG make their games look, they just don't seem to be good at actually making them fun to play.

Playing through K3 for me, was just really boring and ideas/sequences that should have been fun (like jet packs or no grav areas etc) just didn't turn out that way at all, it just felt like I was killing wave after wave of enemies that keep spawning from nowhere, ended up using same gun most of the game since the interesting/Unique guns only come with a few shots and all basically do the same thing anyway = Machine Gun/Make things explode/Useless.

The ending to K3 was dire imo, I couldn't believe it ended so fast like that, after 9+ hours of game play, we got a 20 second clip that didn't have one ounce of story closure. The entire story has gone down the drain, just a cutscene to set up the next enemy spam fest, then rinse & repeat...

I know I will get so many disagrees, but I have to say, that was one bland gaming experience for such an amazing looking game!

(It reminds me of Stargate Universe (TV Show lol).. has amazing visuals/set design/sound design/Lighting Design// basically everything production wise etc, BUT with bad writing, it almsot all just goes to waste with so much potential of being amazing! (Even though it did improve towards the end haha))

[afterMoth]

I agree Whitto. They really could use somebody to make better level designs. The tech is amazing that they have. KZ3 took a few steps backwards in level design.

There is so much potential.

[ForceCSW]

I love Killzone 3's multiplayer, but I think that Killzone would have been much better if they had made it more personal in the campaign(a problem I believe all military shooters have). They didn't do a good job of making me sympathize with the plights of the ISA soldiers stranded on Helgan. Killzone 2 was better at this especially in the earlier parts of the campaign. For 3 I think more grit was needed, for war is dirty and miserable. Someone needs to make a shooter with characters I actually care about and have me follow their journey through hell.

[zeeshan]

Oh hell! I wana see this revealed at E3 not before or not after but during E3!

[HardCover]

"TBH, I think Sony should employ GG for developing tech/Game Engines etc for others to use."

Dude Sony in-house devs already share info like that.

Even Insomniac shares, and they're not a first party dev.

[WhittO]

@HardCover

Ye they share tech and give eachother guidance/tips to get extra power out of it.

But they all have their own engines and tech, what I'm saying is, GG should make the perfect engine for PS3 and sell it to 3rd Party devs (Like Unreal engine..).

[lil Titan]

i dont believe it, i remember a LONG time ago when gears came out they said Guerrilla was working on a third person shooter to rival that game. if i can find the article ill put it up

[Rage_S90]

no but they confirmed they were working on a new ip a while back

[JUDALATION]

Sony Needs a modern day FPS... It already has Killzone, Resistance, Warhawk, Starhawk, Mag, and even Time Crysis as Futuristic shooters, and Metal gear solid & Uncharted as 3PS... But No Modern day FPS...Even though they are the most popular shooters by a landslide.

With Multiplats like Call of Duty and Homefront getting better ports, servers, and earlier DLC, I believe sony needs a FPS EXCLUSIVE to the PS3... I just want a game with dedicated servers and a Modern array of weapons. I was hoping Killzone would be the ones to make it because they would topple cod easily!

[Takoulya]

MAG's pretty damn modern day. 2025 with the same guns as today, only with fancy repair and medical kits that BF:BC2 has.

[MinusTheBear]

We need less FPS you fool. More Platformers and RPG.

[slinky123456]

I doubt it will be announced at this years E3, maybe next years tho.

[Infernostew]

Oh boy! Can't wait to catch a glimpse of this baby!

[Headquarters11]

"Multiplatform Game"

WTF? I'm guessing it means NGP and PS3?

[Kon]

PC and PS3 actually

[TheKindRoost]

@kon haha! dream on. Does first party ring any bell in yer head?

[Eiffel]

@Yellow13

Fable III, and D.C Universe are both first party and are both on PC and Consoles.

PC is a platform under no one. So it's highly possible.

[Arksine]

@Eiffel

Windows is still a MS platform, which is why you see MS 1st parties occasionally release games for it. SOE games (MMOs) are always developed for the PC, because that is where the largest MMO audience is.

Guerilla isn't under the SOE umbrella, they are under SCE. To my knowledge not a single game developed by a SCE 1st party has been ported to a non-playstation platform.

[Kleptic]

Windows is a MS platform, but it doesn't have licensing fees anywhere near that of the 360 or PS3...the main reason PC software sells for less than console versions...and MS doesn't impose any QC testing on the developers...which gives developers total control of the software and updating it...

basically all a developer has to do for windows licensing is acquire rights to print the windows logo on the box...because of the relative ease to develop for windows (which is completely unlike the gestapo approach they take to the 360 and XBL); it is why windows as an OS is still so popular...

[DonMingos]

Reading it in spanish and making my own conclusions, it looks like it will be some kind of MMO (Don't know if RPG, FPS or any other kind) wich you'll be able to play on your ps3 and then keep playing it on your NGP, The kind of cross platform that the Panasonic "Jungle" was aiming to do with others MMO's

[Graey]

If that is true, I'd be very curious to see how that's done. All in all GG makes good games. They do need to tighten up the story aspect, perhaps branch out and create something different.

[ME1989]

"Multiplatform Game"

WTF? I'm guessing it means NGP and PS3?"

Oh no, the HORROR.

[Headquarters11]

Yea, I bet your panties got wet when you read "multiplatform"

[Mista T]

please be better than Killzone

[Machioto]

It might be a game that fuses cabella hunt and Turok.

[GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME]

you say that as if killzone wasn't freakishly amazing.

[Graey]

for some honestly i can see why they don't like it. Visually KZ is astounding. But it takes more than that, and let's face it. KZ will always get more flack compared to say COD. I personally favor KZ but mainly because I think it has potential and I love the lore of it.

[Istanbull]

Ignored for insulting my intelligence about Killzone's epicness.

[Barajas_201]

how dare you!!!!!

[Inzo]

I voted "for sure" just because of my wishful thinking.

[lastdual]

I'd love to see what Guerilla's artists could do with a non-rundown environment, like a lush forest or tropical island, etc.

[a_bro]

yea, its time they make a new IP with a story that works this time.

They have the assets and the creativity to do it now. and of course they have Sony to Back them up.

[afterMoth]

KZIII has an alien jungle. They aren't Naughty Dawg but they did a good job. I'd still like to see more from them that isn't industrial.

[Series_IIa]

NGP Shellshock type of game would be cool

[theunleashed64]

action/RPG with cross platform connectivity (cloud storage) between PS3 & the NGP and the ability to make custom lairs? that's if the rumor is true.

[showtimefolks]

right around KZ3 release date GG's president confirmed that himself.

its not KZ3 but it is a FPS

it was also in one of gameinformer's issue too

i know i am one of the few but i really had fun with KZ3's single player. It was kind of short but other than that it was a fun ride

[blumatt]

Agreed, KZ3's single player was awesome. The online MP is great too. Even the botzone portion of the multiplayer is cool to play. I can't wait to see what this game looks like!

[Pintheshadows]

I liked KZ3 singleplayer and KZ2 multiplayer. Tbh both games were solid in both areas and Salamun Market never got old.

[Graey]

haha nice. personally i still haven't finished the SP. not that I don't want to mind you, I get really sick if I play FPS for a long time. It doesn't happen on all of them, but unfortunately it happened for Reach and now KZ3. I have to reaclimate myself to it over a period of time.

I'll finish it eventually.

[showtimefolks]

i can't play many fps for long period of time. killzone 2 online a lot of hours and resistance 2 a lot of hours into co-op other than that i am not big into fps

[jay2]

If you can read Spanish, read this in Spanish makes it a lot easier.

[Apotheosize]

Oh my god, it this a fantasy RPG? Nice, just what we needed

[blackburn10]

Maybe a platformer or an action platformer? After all Insomniac and ND made shooters and platformers, so why can't GG?

[BeastlyRig]

rpg?

[ZombieAssassin]

Im hoping Sony have them make eithier a survival horror or just an apocalyptic type game...I think GG couod pull those off well judging by Killzone

[HeavenlySnipes]

Check your trophies for KZ3. They are adding Radec Academy and Tharsis Depot from KZ2, along with the Mobile factory from the campaign and a place called the Lente Missile Base. The last two are probably Operations. One of the trophies said "stop the missile launch on the Lente base".

[cannon8800]

I wonder if they're going to use an even more powerful game engine version or just the same from killzone 3. Either way it's probably going to look amazing.

[Pintheshadows]

I bet it will look nice. I look forward to more solid news.

[yume-k]

100% sure it's a FPS game....Yuck!

[blink3020]

Killzone looked great but the series is overrated. No go ahead and disagree all you want.

[subtenko]

Xbox's Halo was overrated. Killzone actually impressed a ton of people. The Killzone universe is very impressive and cant wait for the 4th killzone! Question is, will it be on ps3 or ps4?

[fourthpersonview]

What does IP mean?

[gaden_malak]

Intellectual Property.

[gk07]

new ip same sht : (

[Spartacus5405]

I'm waiting for Lair 2, think about it, that IP has potential its a great theme it just wasn't done right the 1st time, imGine piloting a dragon in like a medieval setting with top graphics and full customization, plus a sick online

[Apolloeye]

I love how the site is called PSNow and yet featued is Bayonetta and Killzone 2.

[Hidalgo]

I'm afraid you got lost in translation.

Bayonetta is there because of a contest among their readers. I can't see any Killzone 2 in the main page.

Please, feel free to read their E3 guide for 2011 or their news for today. Just to prove you got misunderstood :) (I guess something's wrong with google trad??)

[fei-hung]

In thta case I hope it is something very similar to Phantasy Star Online. That game in amazingly beautiful and addictive. It remains as one of my all time favorites and I can't believe Sega have not released in on the 360 or Ps3 this gen.

[flightdown]

I'm tired of FPS games. They are all pretty much the same and lack character development.

I enjoyed Killzone 3 for what it was. Gameplay and graphics were good - just story not so much. Its like an 80s action movie. Having said that Gears of War is the same - yet for some reason it gets praise.

[Faunus]

PSnow! What a bunch of amateurs! It is Hermen Hulst! Bad journalismn.

[Macrike]

Really mature attitude you got there, Roel. (not)

Maybe you should start acting your age instead of calling names, don’t you think? And maybe you should learn how to spell, too.

[Faunus]

@ Macrike

Uhm, your site got the name wrong and you tell me how to spell? Next time get your facts right. ;-)
