It dawns on me that I have zero interest in this. But I might change my mind when it gets closer to the horizon.

It is a full-fledged RPG with XP, perks, skill trees, etc.

 

..and robot dinosaurs! What's not to love?

Everyone knows Science Fiction is really cool. You know what PoE really needs? Spaceships! There isn't any game that wouldn't be improved by a space combat minigame. Adding one to PoE would send sales skyrocketing, and ensure the game was remembered for all time!!!!!

How can anyone not want to play as a character named Aloy?  I'm sold!

I'm on it, even though Killzone Shadow Fall wasn't my favorite game. 

 

I'm convinced Aloy's voice belongs to Bridget Regan, from John Wick, Agent Carter, and Legend of the Seeker years ago. 

 

Here she plays Dottie the blonde Black Widow.

That protagonist seems incredibly annoying.

Now that you've mentioned it, Aloy has Bridget Regan's likeness and hair color as well.  Bridget Regan is actually a redhead, although she rarely plays one in TV and movies.

If it comes out for PC I might look into it otherwise I have no interest (seeing as I don't have a PS4 and have no plans to buy one).

Apparently the demo was already playable at E3.  GT and IGN crew talk about the demo, story, setting, hunting and trapping, trading/economy, towns, RPG elements, etc.

That's new, creatures not necessarily appearing with full health and armor. I never noticed the old spears and missing armor plates on the big dino. How interesting, so I won't need to use the same strategies every battle with the same creatures. Some are strong and ready, some could be on their last legs.

It looks excellent. But being a PS4 exclusive.. not so excellent.

 

I'll still keep an eye out. I did get an Xbox 360, after all, even though I must have spent less than 100 hours total playing games on it.

 

Reminds me.. I really should get back to Dragon's Dogma one of these days.

It's been in development since 2011, according to that Wiki article.  It's set to be released in 2016.  A five year development cycle is pretty long nowadays, is it not?

5 years is long no matter when.

It depends how they count that five years. If that five years include coming up with idea and getting it green lighted on publisher then five years isn't atypically long development cycle. So question is how long game is developed by full team and how much of said development time is just done by prework team.

 

Like for example Alan Wake was in development over 7 years, but big part of that time it only had under 10 people working on it, which is why it production cost were much lower than most of the AAA franchises that have yearly releases with about 3 years development time. 

So this "primal" / roots stuff really is the next big thing. Man, I would gladly buy & play such a game with a real down to earth kind of setting, but all this mashup-sci-fi-fantasy-whatever stuff is totally turning me off.

Still bummed that only Shady acknowledged my play on words. ;(  

Obviously tribal people all look like Victoria's Secret models.

 

Speaking of post-apocalyptic dystopias, what I'd like is a Dark Tower rpg.

I don't get what the goal of the game could possibly be. So there's open wilderness and you take down big game. But you can't eat them since they're made of metal and all that, so it's not a survival thing. Are you going to reclaim the Earth by destroying all of the robots, one-by-one, using handmade tools? Then spend the next 10,000 years or so rebuilding civilisation?

Sure, maybe the world is just a backdrop to some more personal quest, like if someone murdered your husband and stole your baby, but that kind of thing seems improbable and doesn't really line up with what we've seen. But reclaiming the world seems about as improbable as it would be if the goal of Fallout was to restore the world to its pre-apocalyptic state, or if the goal of a Vampire game was to completely eliminate every single supernatural being in the world.

I think it's just a Western version of Monster Hunter
