The Art & Business Of Making Games

... of the AAA, high quality works developed by Kokku are in the material released by Guerilla Games themselves to present the game during 2016's E 3. "Almost all the robots that appear in the E 3 trailer were produced by experts in Recife, including the big battle at the end," says the Studio's CEO. The partnership between Guerilla Games came through with Kokku's orientation of Kokku towards the international market. "Since its inception in 2012, Kokku has been accumulating experience developing global projects. We have shown our work for Guerilla Games, which was looking for studios capable of working on Horizon Zero Dawn back in 2015. We faced the challenge, went through a battery of tests to become one of the main outsourcers in this great project ", says Freitas. According to Kokku's CEO, the figures of Alex Rodrigues and Everaldo Neto (Diorama's Heads of Studio) were key to the success of this project, since they were the ones who managed the whole team and quality control. "The completion of this project and the global launch of ...

Starting Tips & Tricks For New Mecha-hunters

... dangerous encounter very quickly. For easy harvesting of parts from Herders, Grazers, and other machines likely to flee from trouble, set explosive trip wires and then drive the herd into them. Against more aggressive predators, set up a kill zone with different types of traps in combination and then guide them back into it. If it doesn’t kill them outright, it will usually stun them enough for you to finish the job with your spear. Pick them apart. When you use your Focus to highlight machines, look for glowing orange components, which mark are the functional, removable parts of the machine. In addition to disabling special attacks or their ability to call for reinforcements, knocking these special components off your enemies does substantially more damage than body blows. Fluid canisters can be knocked off with hardpoint or tear arrows if you want to collect them, but they can also be used against the machine and its neighbors by blowing them up with an arrow of the same element (e.g. flame arrows for blaze ...

Zero Dawn’ Is The Wokest Game About Robot Dinosaurs Ever Made

... the past) seems vaguely misogynistic, but all the other characters, even the baddies, are entirely post-gender in their thinking. The game is also very diverse. Each tribe has an even mix of different modern day races.  While that’s no doubt a good thing for modern day social progress, it doesn’t really make sense in the post apocalyptic future. If these small, cloistered tribes existed for hundreds of years, you would think after awhile there would just be a bunch of mixed race people, not distinctly black and white races. It’s almost like the people of Horizon intentionally did not interracially procreate. That’s not woke at all! But I digress …. In Horizon, gameplay clearly overshadows the rest of the game. Wandering around finding monsters and engaging in spontaneous bouts of mechanical violence with hulking ...

Horizon Zero Dawn's Quest Design Was Inspired By Everything From Vampire The Masquerade To Skyrim

... featuring some 150 quests of varying complexity. The wall of sticky notes. "The system isn't perfect," Szczepanski admitted. "The list of verbs we had didn't sufficiently match our needs.". In other respects, the verbs proved to be less interesting than they had originally hoped, he told me later. Guerilla plans to revisit their list of actions and revise them accordingly. It should be noted that we weren't huge fans of Horizon Zero Dawn's quest design, with Caty writing in her review , "The side missions in Horizon Zero Dawn are consequentially stale, in that they feel repetitive and pointless to a fault. In one, I help gather supplies for a woman's superpowered gun. I slaughter some people, get the supplies, slaughter more people with the new gun, and then we're pals. In most cases, you're fetching something for someone, you're helping someone fight (whether it's ...

... up bow shots - this is especially useful for taking out Watchers before they can raise an alarm. Edit Bigger Bags. One of the first things you'll want to improve is your carrying capacity. We specifically recommend focusing on crafting upgrades for your Resource Satchel first, since this will allow you to carry more items you scavenge from enemies and around the world. You'll spend the first few hours of the game in The Expanse - this is the best location for hunting wildlife and game, since the Machines in this area are less threatening than anywhere else. After completing the tutorial missions, spend some time hunting boar, turkey, rabbits, foxes and fish - you'll need their pelts and bones to craft more elaborate satchels and pouches. Edit Scavenger Skills. After leveling up a few more times, you'll want to focus your skill points on purchasing abilities in the third column of the Forager skill tree. The Gatherer and Scavenger skills are helpful for crafting , and Disarm Traps is helpful, too ( being able to collect unused traps and tripwires is a great relief on resource management). The Tinker ability, however, ...

Sony's new PS 4 exclusive, Horizon Zero Dawn , contains a small nod to Kojima Productions, the maker of another upcoming PS 4 game, Death Stranding. During your adventure, you'll come across various items that can be traded with merchants. In our time with the game, we discovered a pair of Very Rare-quality items that might catch the attention of eagle-eyed players. Both of these have icons that feature a striking resemblance to the silhouette of the Kojima Productions logo. Beyond that, there's the name of the two items, Stranded Shackles and Stranded Figure, that might hammer home that this is not a mere coincidence. Their respective descriptions-or at least that of the Stranded Figure-may also further hint at what we've seen in trailers for Death Stranding. "This ...

Five Tips For Starting Ps4's Open-world Robot Safari

... the game's crafting recipes, such as health potions, inventory expansions and fast travel packs. Speaking of which. 4. Try not to fast travel. "Horizon's" world is generously peppered with bonfires that serve as save and fast travel points. And, looking at the map, that world would appear pretty damn vast. But most quests won't require more than a few minutes on foot. It's not until the game opens up halfway, and the side quests start pouring in, that fast travel becomes more necessary. Still, be selective: Fast-traveling in "Horizon" requires a provisions item that can be crafted or, sometimes, recovered from the game's human enemies. 5. Do the cauldrons, skip the bandit camps. As its open-world ambitions would suggest, "Horizon Zero Dawn" includes several side-quest type activities scattered across its world. Cauldrons are dungeon-like enclosures set in dark, futuristic decks that all but require stealth and some environmental puzzle-solving. They're far more worthwhile than bandit camps, which distill everything uninspiring about the game's human combat into button-mashing romps.
