There's a whole lot of wild claims in this thread and not a whole lot of proof.

The face of the future.
The interview's out!

Good fucking god the Nihilanth from Half-Life is the unborn Gray. Also Gray said the game will have tools for players to make their own experiences and mentioned Gmod!
I wonder if he ever pulled out the "my dad works at valve" card.
VNN is doing a live ama with Gray on [URL="https://www.twitch.tv/valvenewsnetwork"]Twitch[/URL]
Welp, I guess a lot of the theories out there about the state of valve are at least partially true in that the looseness of it all has become a problem (@his comments regarding source 2 and skeptical / hesitation with who to get info from). No one seems to want to be considered the head of the project which is why its so hard for them to put stuff out because there's no direction (err maybe? Not sure if I'm stretching it with that last bit).

[QUOTE=TheBorealis;53147935]I watched the AMA Gray and VNN did on VNN's twitch, holy SHIT it looks insane and incredibly ambitious.
First things first, Gray and Naetyr will be as transparent as possible, Gray will be active on social media I think (he said he loves talking) and Gray gave out their company's [URL="https://discordapp.com/invite/fktXRUr"]discord[/URL] and Gray's personal [URL="https://discordapp.com/invite/Nkuyx7v"]one[/URL] (gray wants people to play sins of the solar empire with him) , all their employees are Gray's friends, he met their pr guy through overwatch
-The game will be MMORPGFPS, but first, it will be made in "modules", their first module will be an arena fps which they'll show to investors and release when they start crowdfunding
-When more modules are added the original arena one will be reabsorbed an a competitive arena game inside the game
-The game is set in the future, after an apocalyptic event frozen humans stored underground will use machine interfaces to enter new bodies and rebuild the universe.
-The full game will start empty, the players will drive EVERYTHING, you'll make factions, teams, even governments. Factions will fight each other
-There will be procedurally generated planets and ai "creeps" to meet and possibly fight, inspired by mobas, you'll be able to conrtol multiple robots in fights like an RTS
-There will be ground fights, with vehicles, and space fights all happening at the same time
-There will be no quests or bethesda style radiant quests, players will make quests for each other, said you'll fight as much for survival as for the shiny new gun
-The universe will start empty except some creeps I guess, the players will determine EVERYTHING
-Seems like you'll make a new body each time you die, to explain respawning. Fury will have the most advanced character customization ever, every single part of clothing etc can be customized, the basic
things like gender won't matter, it's all how you deck your gear out, you'll have to put on ammo to bring it places.
-You can take mental control of things like drones, and terminate your body and spawn a new one at a different location (if there's a area you can spawn with)
-The game is infinite with no end goal, players make goals for each other, probably from the faction hierarchy, VNN related it to gmod 14
-The game will be first person, with a third person vanity mode for screenshots
-The game will either be f2p or paid, with microtransactions either way (I think? Gray said mts make a fuckton of money) but it will only be alternate style for gear and weapons, he gave an example of different style
for the same gun sight, said you'll be able to buy a box of scrap mined from some planet
-There will be trading/an in game market
-Menial things like mining will be automated with drones, which can be attacked and pilfered[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=TheBorealis;53147935]edit: some more things
-there will be a single player intro/tutorial
-Gray got the idea for Fury from Titanfall, he wondered about being the pilot of the ships the titans drop from
-They're playing with becoming more than a game company, Gray is also working on a tv show and a car, he said they could put his car in a game and cross promote[/QUOTE]

Not gonna lie, this sounds like the usual 'kid thinks up his ideal game'. Sounds great but completely undoable.

Funny cause his dad's ideal game was HL1.

Missed opportunity for vnn to name the video "Meet the Gray"
sounds like EVE but an FPS. sounds pretty audacious but if anyone can follow through it's the son of Gabe

That's not how it works, talent and ability isn't hereditary.
[QUOTE=Skyward;53149483]That's not how it works, talent and ability isn't hereditary.[/QUOTE]
No, its based almost wholly on motivation and you could easily see why the son of a legendary gaming figure would want to follow the same path.

its nothing that hasn't been done. maybe not all in the one game but the ideas have been implemented. the only point i'm not sold on is making the game completely player driven with no npcs. who is going to want to give out quests where they give up their own shit as a reward? but i dunno sounds like theres a lot of thought and planning going into it.
Gray sounds like he has no idea what he's doing. I'll have to wait for their crowd funding announcement, because right now he's showing us an empty world with absolutely no plan.
Like, it's great that you hold the community to such a high place while designing the game, but "There's no questing, there's nothing in the world, you build it yourself" sounds a lot like "I haven't planned anything out at all."
He also kind of sounds like that in general. Hard to take him seriously.

Gabe Newell was accepted and attended Harvard for three years, before dropping out, and proceeded to have worked at Microsoft for 13 years as a producer on Windows OS 1 through 1.03 before dropping THAT and deciding "Hey I wanna make videogames and own a videogame studio." and had a co-worker join him on that venture.
Gray Newell is that dude's son.
Not... exactly comparable in regards to the whole 'ideal game being made into reality with nothing but a dream'
