It looks great. The dinosaurs remind me of toys I had in the 80's, each was a different dinosaur and you could wind them up to make them walk. Tried searching but can't seem to find them

Anyway, they need to release more info on this game.

Yeah they really do, the gameplay looked amazing. I guess we will find more out this week or in the next couple of months. It took me by surprise as i'd never heard of it, now it's right up there with Fallout 4 and other ones i've wanted.

Nope

You actually built the robots out of the pieces, each kit built one robot - but I do seem to remember there being some kind of cockpit. :confused:

Hmmm could it have been Zoids?

They had dinosaurs and you built them.

Rumours of this have been rife over the last week and people looked into Linkedins and stuff - the highlights being that Fallouts NV writer, CDPR consulting on quest design and one of the guys that invented the Nemesis system for SoM are involved.

That at least means while no doubt Guerilla have the graphics talent the RPG could be good.

What have I just watched? It's made me grin like a Cheshire cat... That was all sorts of epicness. I would throw money at my screen but sadly nothing would happen ... Amazing.

Doh, beaten to the post

Game of show for me, everything else we knew about or what it's about, this is just weird and wonderful.

Jase · 16 Jun 2015 at 15:51

This was one of the standout games for me, it looks exactly like my sort of game.

Nogimmix · 16 Jun 2015 at 17:22

This and Uncharted 4 might tempt me to buy a PS4 again.

gord · 16 Jun 2015 at 17:30

Looked up Zoids in image search.

Someone definitely played Zoids.

RedStarRiot · 16 Jun 2015 at 17:45

This looks like a cracking game.

Its a true stand out game, totally out of nowhere, the idea for mech dinosaurs whilst pointed out is actually zoids, its still like wow what a fresh idea.

Most of the games of E3 were predictable - but Sony still every now and then backs a new idea. Hope it works out for them, it looks crazy good.

Another stand out E3 game now coming to Ps4 as well firewatch - that looked interesting as well.

Yeah completely out of no where, expected all the big ones and this was an absolutely hidden gem.
