The Guild 4?

[Neduz]

Now as The Guild 3 is released I am hoping that developer Purple Lamp will take on development for The Guild 4 and make the game from scratch with their experiences from this game and their own vision of it, instead of taking over another developers dumpster fire. Hopefully with an engine that has up to date visuals and GFX. What do you guys think?

[FalconerHG]

I hope so too, but I am sure that we will see some DLC first. :)

+1 , this developer was able to revive a broken game. I think if they make a new guild game , they would be able to rework everything , as the gameplay and the idea is already there , you just need the "tangibles"

[Forsaken]

It is too soon. I think it would be much better to improve the current game with additional patches and DLCs, and get a solid feedback before attempting something like that.

THQ Nordic please a AAA(Triple A) The Guild 4

I'm happy with what Purple Lamp has done, but, unless the the engine seriously hampers performance or gameplay, I'd rather see them work on a dlc that expands gameplay, just like pirates and Renaissance did. I wouldn't be opposed to it being standalone either. I'm not bothered by the games current graphics and I think they are in really good place stability-wise to run wild with new features. Whether it's more professions, actions, factions, or whatever. This type of strategy game doesn't really require amazing graphics to be good or to sell well, So, I'm much more interested in new features rather than new looks.

I'd love to see a remastered version of The Guild 1. Still my favorite in the series as I loved the action point system. Was also a lot easier to control and manage, especially when your dynasty got huge.

Guild 4 in ancient Rome :D

You guys are already on the guild 4,and didn't give the guild3 a chance,and how much potential it can have during the patching. What is this world coming to when people can't stick to one game or one game concept,and be patient,and see if the guild 3 is going to get better. Entitled,spoiled,and impatient people lol

I personally hope they still work on this, do you know if theres a roadmap? or the game is finished?

The game is released, but I do not think it is finished,and like most games they will keep adding on with patches every so often. I am sure we will get more interiours,more jobs,and perhaps more NPC interaction so I do think this is just the beginning,and alot more good features are yet to come. Guild4 ? What would the guild 4 have that the guild 3 doesn't besides being done in another 10 years. So once the guild4 is finally released they will be complaining that the graphics are out of date,and the game is missing features the guild 3 had. You can never please players that feel entitled lol

The devs has said they intend to release mod tools still but I'm not aware of anything else. The full release has already dropped and they implied it was the "final" version, so who knows.

I'm all for DLC to reward the devs. But imagine TG4 with the talent they have shown in rescuing TG3.

[Germania516]

So you are willing to wait 15 years for TG4 ? Now tell us what would this "TG4" be like over the guild 3 ? Seriously you are already rushing into a new game because you were not satisfied with the guild3 lol See where I am getting ? It's like buying a house,and your sink is leaking so you decide to have another house built without fixing the sink. So you are thinking the guild4 having the same graphics as Elden Ring,or the same careers,the same NPC interaction,the same interiours,the same buildings,the same tactics to sabotage ? What is it you want in a brand new game that will take 20 years to make that they can't add to the guild 3 with maybe a DLC that cost more than the base game or some idiot ruining the base game with mods ? People,players,folks get over yourselves and quit being so entitled lol This world these days !

Seriously you are already rushing into a new game beside you were not satisfied with the guild3 lol See where I am getting ? It's not buying a house,and your sink is leaking so you decide to have another house built without fixing the sink. Same concept with the guild4.

My theory is that THQ Nordic's insistence on using a custom (and therefore cheap) engine is what led to most of TG3's problems.

Remember how the devs insisted for years that adding interiors with the engine was impossible? That is a massive red flag. In Unreal or Unity (hell, even Roblox), that feature would likely take less than a week to implement.

So realisitcally, there is every chance that giving Purple Lamp a couple of years and access to an industry-standard engine, they could make massive strides in a fraction of the time it took TG3 to release. Not saying it's a guarantee, but I think OP is making a reasonable assumption.

If they added all the stuff they thought they would never add than I would say the engine they are using now is working :) Also it will take more than a couple years to create the guild 4,and I am sure it will be in EA for just a couples years :) The question is also will the devs listen to the OP,or as Devs they will do it their way so assuming they can do what the OP wants them to do might not be the best decision to them with how much time they get to work or the money they have. Just because some financially stable millenial or generation z immature player has an idea because it can be achieved by him. Him living in his fancy flat in the big city,driving a tesla,and wearing Armani jeans or just living off his posh parents that buy him all his gaming gear. This doesn't mean the devs have that kind of money or can achieve their goals in just a couple years with a game that can hold them over before they finally fix Conan Exiles,and make it the perfect game.
