Recore announced (Spring 2016, Armature and Inafune, Xbox One exclusive)
- Thread starter The Sarcastic Dude
- Start date
Yes, a bunch of heads of Retro forked Armature.
Kind of, although Playtonic has more ex Rare folks than Armature does Retro folks.

They just done a little feature of this on Inside XBox and it gave some good information on the game, gameplay and story.
Hope this is AAA, I shall get it regardless of its target.

this was what I was able to glean from the interview
-map changes with each sand storm
- friendly and enemy robots
- the robot mack's core can get put into other robots
- can upgrade cores
- also other companion robots
Anything you remember that stood out?

This sounds very intriguing, I hope we get some gameplay at Gamescom.
Thinking we will if it's a Spring 2016 game.

14 months already?, so is safe to say the game will be released next year. Looking forward to see some gameplay.
Huh? Armature has more people who've worked on a Metroid Prime game than Playtonic has employees in total.
Retro still has more employees who've worked on a Metroid game nonetheless.
Design: Jay Fuller, Russell O'Henly, Brandon Paul Salinas, Andy Schwalenberg, Bill Vandervoort, Jonathon Delange
Principal Art: Elben Schafers
Senior Art: Chuck Crist, Ryan Powell
Art: Sean Horton, Matt Manchester, Teague Shultz, Thomas Robins, Amanda Rotella
Engineering: Ryan Cornelius, Jim Gage, Andy Hanson, Frank Maddin, Eric Rehmeyer, Jesse Spears, Aaron Walker
Animation Lead: Vince Joly
Senior Animation: Derek Bonikowski, Dax Pallotta
Animation: William Bate, Carlos Mendieta, Stephen Zafros, Raphael Perkins
Audio Supervisor: Scott Petersen
As you can see, they mainly lost senior staff to Armature (and other ventures). The art team definitely lost most people.

Not sure if this is already known but I asked earlier if ReCore was a smaller-scale digital release or a retail game and it looks like it may be the latter, going by the Microsoft Store. Pretty exciting! I'm pretty sure this will be Armature's first big console release!

I've been trying to find that out myself. I watched an interview with Inafune about it and didn't get that information either. The most I've seen is the blurb a few posts back.

14 months in dev should of been enough for some type of ingame anything. Just wish we saw a bit more. I really like that box art though making me a bit more excited.
I imagine they're saving it for Gamescom.
What we know it's a Action/Adventure with survival elements. A long your journey you have different robot companions. The terrain will mostly be desert

Yeah, Inafune said they have already a prototype running.

Looking forward to seeing more from this game. I like the art style and the vibe of it. Please deliver on gameplay!

Share some of the details?
As a PS guy, this was the Microsoft game I'm most excited for.
Also means the game is planned to release without ever showing gameplay at E3. Is that some kinda first?

well, Spencer already said they will show some gameplay of Recore and Scalebound at Gamescom
Good to know. Thanks
I noticed it. Taking a cue from one of the best games ever made? I'm alright with that.Cool.
I can't be the only one that notice this similarity...

Curious about this one.
More at Gamescom would be nice. MS's showd paled next to Sony's for me, but their GC line-up sounds awesome. Can't wait to see those games.

I think it might be because of the lack of gameplay. The world looks unique and interesting, and while I'm personally pumped for it, I totally understand those that would want to wait a bit to see how it actually plays or looks in action.
And they'll be able to breathe without having a competing platform conference there, I think.

This is refreshing.
I can already imagine the gameplay. Taking orbs putting it into fitted slots to activate robots, switches, etc.
Seems to be a third person game, there's a hookshot. I can imagine stealth game types and gung ho third person shooting while taking cover and signalling your A.I companion to activate switches , walk forward taking hits as you take cover behind them, etc.
I cannot wait. Protagonist looks attractive and a powerful emotionally driven female character. Let's see how this turns out.

Yeah, very promising. Hope to learn more about it at Gamescom.
I imagine the game to be all about constantly sacrificing the core in battle or during puzzles, much like the trailer showed. Seems the core will likely not maintain the same form throughout the whole game.
I sincerely hope it shifts dynamically based on player choice and circumstance and isn't just a linear story based progression where each playthrough is the same. I imagine that battles and puzzles will need to be approached differently based on the current frame the core resides within, which is a super exciting concept, I think.
All of this is what I imagined the game could provide, which is where my excitement comes from.
However, I'm starting to rein in the excitement until I see actual gameplay.

Nice trailer, but the pedigree actually makes me more cautious than hyped.

Here goes an Inafune interview about the game. Don't know if it's been posted yet, credit to gamespot.

That's weird. A new IP built in 24 months (april 2016 more or less)??? That's 2 years. Sounds like too little time.
I think it will be delayed to Fall 2016.

Can't wait to see actual gameplay, maybe at gamescom?

Probably.
It sounds like we'll get more announcements at Gamescon than at the E3: Scalebound, Crackdown, Quantum Break for sure. Recore pretty possible.
Also maybe we'll get more RARE stuff, maybe Press Play and Twisted Pixel will be there.

Not that it will detract from the games quality, but I stil suspect this is 2.5D. Has there been any confirmation that it's a full 3D game? Given Inafune's background and the lack of gameplay footage apparently so close to release, I suspect it was done intentionally because Microsoft was worried 2.5D would cause people not to take the game seriously.

Kinda Funny Games referred to it as AAA and Aaron Greenberg didn't correct them. Retailers have put up box arts for it, not an exact science but we'll see
I think its more likely to be a premium digital title (or $40 game) in 3D than it is to be a 2.5D game

It was referred to as a third person action/adventure game in the GameSpot interview. It's also available for pre-order at the Microsoft store for $60. This is definitely a full-priced retail release.

I wouldn't mind at all if the game is a 2D adventure, i'm already in love with the main character and the concept is great

Oh ok. So it then the decision to go with a CG trailer seems even stranger so close to release no? Unless this was never intended to release early next year and we get the inevitable delay.
