Guerrilla Games is moving to a new building, hopes to increase employees to 400 from 250
- Thread starter ThisThingIsUseful
- Start date
Makes sense as in February they hired the director of Rainbow Six: Siege and he's currently listed as directing a project. That seems unlikely to be Horizon 2 as his expertise has been in competitive FPS games.
Either two IPs or faster turnaround for a single game. I think Ubi does the latter, where they have 1000 people working on an AC game at one time so they can churn them out every year.
400 people is not a 'lot' for a modern AAA video game. This does not mean that they are working on more than one title. Nor does it mean they aren't!
Sounds like next-gen development to me. World density, visual fidelity, everything is going to go up and they will need more manpower.

Two teams! Guerilla Cambridge died for this. Make it good this this time.
Larger pre-production team would be very useful, the people who would hash out all the essential details of whatever their next project is while most of the team works on a current project. That seems more realistic than trying to do 2 games at exactly the same time.
Still, that's a pretty damn big expansion for their studio, here's hoping it proves to be sustainable in the long term.

Reboot time!
Yes, it's time.
Hope they extend the same care and courtesy to the next KZ project as they did HZD. It's a damn shame how the game fell off the wagon somewhat post KZ2 (although I liked 3 and the vita game was supposedly very fun to play) given the lore there is to leverage.
If they're going to bother making more killzone then they need to go the RPG route with that too. The lore was always pretty interesting but, kind of like halo, you never actually saw any of it if you only played the games. As normal FPS they were never able to make anything that good or interesting, so stop trying to do something you can't do.

When he says new IPs and existing ones, my thought would be the existing one is Horizon (since we know that they're working on it even though nothing's official). That's how I read it.
Wait Horizon was made by just 250 people!?
WTF it was way better than any Ubisoft open world game I've ever played including the AssCreed games, the combat and character control felt way more precise and responsive, the world building and NPC interaction and exploration are all so much better than anything Ubi has done.
How was it made by just 250 people??? Ubisoft couldn't even made a game like that with 1,000 people.

Having put over 15 hours into Horizon and 80 into Origins....it's not as good as Origins. Also outsourcing is a thing. :P
