Support NeoGAF

[Bartski]

After poking the green hornet's nest, TeamKill Media uses its moment of attention by releasing gameplay from what apparently is the current, UE5 and almost final build of the game.

 

[TVexperto]

wait doesnt ms say xbox is the most powerful gaming console? if ssd is slower than ps5 than thats not true

 

[Chukhopops]

Once you reach 2:00 in the first video it’ll become clear why they needed the free marketing.

 

[Disco Dave]

I don't see why it couldn't run on a PS2...

 

[Portugeezer]

Good marketing from them, because those videos leave a lot to be desired.

They were trying the same style marketing before the generation launch, 3 years later still looks meh.

Who gives a fuck

 

[Punished Miku]

I tried to watch it but my PC wasn't fast enough.

 

[skit_data]

Seems to be a slightly better gameplay but way way more boring art direction version of Scorn

Edit: Props to the sound design though. The music is nice too, some of it reminds me of the ciminally underrated flick Annihilation

 

[StueyDuck]

it's so weird when indie devs get involved in console wars.

I remember the moon studios guy making up fud with the pro back in the day. then there was that idiot publisher I think of descenders or something that just complained non stop on social media (he wasn't even the dev)

Any respect I have for you instantly goes out the window the second you throw out professionalism for childish internet feuds

Really? FFS that is some sad fanboy thinking. By that illogic my PC with a 4090 is not more powerful than my PS5 because it has a slightly slower SSD.

 

[SJRB]

Never heard of this game before, lol

 

[Bartski]

 

[nemiroff]

I see nothing here that would demand a any special hardware (which was a extremely sus claim in the first place). The gameplay videos looks hilariously bad.

Edit: What's with the excessive use of fake film grain in the promo shots above.

Edit 2: Fuck, I'm slow.. I get it now. This game would quickly drown in obscurity without attention. So the developer embarked on a calculated controversial journey towards PR, and to gain loyalty from dumb Playstation fans. It makes perfect sense.

 

[Bartski]

according to their twitter, game is made by 4 dudes on one computer (roommates?)

 

[Cobaiye]

This game is gonna bomb so hard.

Is that the sequel to 2 girls, 1 cup?

We really need a facepalm reaction emoji.

 

[Drizzlehell]

I just realized that the developers of this game are the same guys who made this piece of shit:

My interest in this has now dropped by like 95%, with 5% left as a benefit of the doubt.

 

[hlm666]

Film grain the game, if those images are jpgs good lord the uncompressed images would look like clear sandpaper over the screen.

 

[KloetenQuetsche]

Why did they use gameplay vids from Callisto Protocol? The dismemberment looks little worse, is there an Pegi 12 Update for Callisto Protocol?

 

[The Cockatrice]

Ah yes typical garbage indie game that runs at 20FPS with a million post process effects and copy pasted assets. Surely the SSD is at fault here.

 

[the_master]

I wanted to ask why did they add a 3rd person mode. I think it does not bring anything to the game. I could try it out though.
But then I read that is made by 4 people only? If that is true, impressive. You should not hate an amateur group but encourage it.

 

[HL3.exe]

I'm aware game dev is incredibly hard, to fund, to build a team, coherent vision and all of that. But why does this game look like a PS360 game from a pure game-logic standpoint.

I was hoping UE5 would open new avenue's for games. More detailed animation blending and collisions, more reactive environments, etc. At least something I haven't played the last 16 years?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Look at all that amazing usage of Nanite and Lumen. Truly the next gen showcase we've been waiting on.

 

[adamsapple]

Looks like a low budget Callisto Protocol.

 

[Killer8]

I've seen better fire effects in Resident Evil 4 on GameCube.

 

[Kakax11]

Good looking game, why are people mad about the XSX loading screens? it's only 2 seconds

looking for it on PC without Tim Sweeney engine 4 stutters

 

[Ansphn]

Honestly this game looks better than Redfall and Redfall couldnt run well on Series S. Couldn't even do 60fps.

 

[K' Dash]

It’s nice they’re still releasing Dreamcast games from time to time.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

If generic was a game.

 

[ReBurn]

As good an excuse as any for why your game is mediocre I guess.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

I think you'll need to just relax.

I get that this game looks generic af, but that's where it ends. The studio simply said that they have loading screens on Xbox and none on PS5 and all of a sudden you all are up in arms accusing them of console warring? YOu guys are just showing a lot of insecurity.

wtf? They are not the only dev to make a game on this current gen that has longer loading times on the Xbox.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Not very knowledgeable about all the "console warring," but I think this looks pretty cool. A lot of good ideas. I wish it had better funding to be more fleshed out and not look so generic.

 

[shamoomoo]

Never heard of this game before, lol

I believe it was announced a little after the PS5 reveal, because I remember this game before The Callisto Protocol.

 

[skit_data]

They tagged the tweet with #cosmichorror
If that's indeed what they're aiming for this might be more interesting than I thought at first

They don't want your respect they want sales, and puffing up one bunch of internet warriors and riling up another gives you a lot of free advertising.

 

[Moochi]

UE5 hasn't been impressive yet, has it? I mean, the Matrix Demo looked pretty good in still frames, but nothing else has looked good.

 

[Kiraly]

THIS game was said to absolutely need to the PS5 SSD???

Take a look at their twitter account and what posts were retweeted and then come back here saying people are showing "insecurity" lol.

 

[Low Moral Fibre]

Indie devs are getting seriously talented. Hard to tell this apart from the best stuff AAA devs are putting out such as Doom 3.

And now you’re being disingenuous. Absolutely nobody has any issue with games loading longer on Xbox Series. The PS5 has a faster SSD, afterall.

The ‘honestly’ in your post

 

[RoboFu]

Unreal is getting more robust you mean.
You can buy asset packs and basic set up is easy for anyone off the street.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

well, they succeed. console warz prove useful.

Now a bunch of people are going to champion this game until the inevitable 6/10 on Meta.

brilliant strategy from the studio.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills or I'm just out of the loop on some memes. What is there to champion?

Those videos look as mid as they come. I like the HUD design but the rest is just okay-ish at best.

Play Station's SSD. the devs said it was so fast that they would have to change the xbox version and the PS5 is the definitive way to play the game

 

[DenchDeckard]

This is so generic looking...and downright bad.

One way to get marketing I guess.

Are these 60fps videos or is it just my phone that's making it look sub 30.

 

[simpatico]

Meanwhile Cyberpunk 2077 runs fine on an HDD.

 

[skit_data]

xD

Well at the end of the day people buy games because they want to play them, not because of console wars (forspoken would have topped the charts if that was true).

I would potentially buy an indie game to support a Dev I have lots of respect for however. I've done so in the past

 

[poppabk]
