Am I the only person who thinks this looks like high school tier garbage?
>>342386005
literally interior semiotics the game
>>342386005
looks pretty shitty, yeah
>>342386291
Why is everyone going apeshit about it then?
>open world
>based on high school literature
>draws inspiration from bios hock
>looks like it's running on the source engine
>>342386521
whats wrong with the source engine?
>inb4 everything
>>342386997
Unless dressed up and utilized to its full potential games just tend to look dated on it.
I think it could be interesting if they used the whole Joy mechanic for some wacky hallucinations.

I'm more surprised it's getting such a negative response from /v/
>>342387880
Not one person thinks MGS has a good story.
Not a single one.

>>342387880
who said Deus Ex has a good story? it has a fun story.
The trailer they showed at e3 looked promising because it had so little to do with the game itself, any gameplay video you can find looks like utter shit.
What does "high school" tier even mean?
>>342388017
speak for yourself. i fucking love the mgs story.
.. most of it.
>>342386521
it's a video game, do you seriously expect the writing to not be highschool tier? if you want good writing read a fucking book.
>>342388171
Which book?
>>342388171
>based on babbys first "deep" book
>pretentious vibes
M8 the only pretentious one here is you
>>342388310
they're probably the same people who think every dystopian world is based on either 1984 or Brave New World
>>342388310
Shit your teacher makes you read in high school.
>>342388310
Something everybody has already experienced and that some people choose to latch on to because of its "revolutionary" or counterculture appeal.
Ex: hot topic, dad rock, fedoras
>Learn about it one year ago
>See wonderful trailer in the kickstarter campaign
>See gameplay footage
>Open World Procedurally Generated Survival Roguelike with Crafting
Nope.
>>342388491
1984 and to a lesser extent Brave New World.
>>342386521
It's getting a lot of traction because the first actual trailer and gameplay has existed for a while and gone unnoticed.
People just saw a new concept trailer this year but at e3 so it got a lot more exposure. People are hyped for the interesting concept without realising that it is going to fail for being an open world survival game.
>>342388017
I liked Metal Gear's story.
Well, the first one. Most of it. In its own endearingly over-the-top way.
>>342386521
>>342388532
>A Clockwork Orange is high school literature
what kind of fucking school did you go to
>>342388491
It's pretty similar to Brave New World but I don't think they ever said it was based on it.
>>342387983
I can tell you right away this is something people will play for a week and completely forget about after. We've had so fucking many of these kinds of art projects over the last few years I just can't even pretend to care anymore.
>>342388632
Who's everybody? It doesn't matter when you get into cool shit, there is no race to win.
>>342386005
It looks pretty shitty yes. And the rogue like aspect smells like a flop.
>>342389008
It's not a race it's just boring to see a concept that has already been iterated upon in other books films and TV, hell even other video games
>>342386005
Actually really liked the look of the trailer.
But the idea of it focusing on random scavenging rather than the psychological aspects of the story makes me wary.
>>342388727
I wish I knew.
All we got was Siddhartha and MacBeth.
>>342386005
Once people learn about the gameplay, they'll all know it's hot garbage.
Procedurally generated open world survival game?
The backstory might as well not matter. I was hoping for a decent game attached to the interesting concept. Sadly it's shit.
>see the E3 trailer
>Hey, this lookes pretty cool and interesting.
>look up gameplay
>all these survival elements
>MUH OPEN WORLD
This game would've worked much better if it were more like Bioshock, or a straight up linear FPS like Half Life 2. But no, the devs had the go with the open world route.
>>342389380I...I liked Siddhartha, which reminds me that I need to read more of Herman Hesse's stuff
>>342389564
>>342389647
I was somewhat interested if it played out like that.
Trying to blend in with these people while having fits of normal feelings or seeing what is actually happening instead and trying to suppress that emotion not only from the populace but the authorities as well. While you either try to escape, uncover the truth, or take down what's responsible.
Nah, have another DayZ reskin.
>>342386005
Wasted potential
>>342386005
>let's take plot elements from 1984 and Brave New World, smash them all together, and shit out a Tim Burton-esque indy game with them
>>342389647
I had the impression that it was a bit more like how Hitman can be "non-linear" in the sense of having dozens of possible ways to progress through a small environment.
If it's actually "open world", that's way less interesting.
>all these people shoehorning the game into 1984 and Brave New World
I'm rather getting a "Futurological Congress" vibe here.
Speaking of HS literature,
Did anyone else enjoy Great Expectations?
Everyone hated it at my school but me.
>>342390929
The E3 trailer has a very straight shot-out to 1984, with the guy censoring newspapers and getting some depressive enlightenment when seeing a very specific article. Also the whole Uncle Jack thing plays very much like Big Brother.
The Brave New World influence comes mostly from the "take your joy and be happy with us or go to starve and die a sad savage in the outsides".
Also the whole British post-WWII setting.
>>342390929
>game's entire plot revolve around a government organization that enforces information control and a citizenry that take a drug to ignore the fact their lives are shit
>Ministry of Truth
>Soma
>you think people are "shoehorning" the game into 1984 and Brave New World
Have you even fucking read either of those books?
>Open world procedurally generated survival crafting early access indie game with light RPG elements
FUCKING STOP MAKING THESE FUCKING GAMES
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING DIFFERENTLY THAT THE OTHER MILLION OF THESE HAVEN'T DONE ALREADY
>>342388727
Pretty certain it's closer to Brave New World than A Clockwork Orange
>>342390929
It's LITERALLY 1984 the game
>>342386005
It's try-hard garbage for sure. Goofy as fuck. Def passing on this.
>>342386005
No, everyone does. It's 1984 and Brave New World mashed together with practically no originality
>>342387880
>a board that thinks MGS has a good story
Yes everyone here thinks that MGS has impeccable writing as opposed to being a dumb endearing action movie
>>342388727

You obviously haven't read either of them. Why would you lie on the internet? Why would someone do that?

hahaha you fags wish it was Clockwork Orange. It's Brave New World, babby's first politics thought

>with practically no originality
Oh definitely, I can all ready see the ending now:
>You finally escape creepy-upon-avon
>You look around at a desolate wasteland that used to be Briton
>Turns out The Axis powers got the A-bomb before the Allies
>Nuked the shit out of Britain
>Survivors gets depressed and starts taking Soma
>Final shot is the PC taking a big hit of Soma
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I will be.

Gatsby's overrated.
>>342387579
>Implying this game isn't fedora tier as fuck
>>342388804
>>342388171
Yeah but to get such a response out of /v/ that it gets hate threads is odd.
Apathy is one thing but people seem to going out of there way to mention they dislike it.
We've got that FF gameplay, GoW son edition and multiple zombie titles to shit on.
We rarely bring up other kickstarter survival/crafting games.
>>342387579
JRPG's and decades old RTS are good games. This will not be.
>>342392179
MGSV and MGS2 are entirely different games with no relationship to eachother except for nuclear weapons
>>342392127
According to the bit of backstory we have, the people from Wellington Wells did some horrid shit not even Nazis could imagine and to deal with their guilt they take their joy
So what's the gameplay incentive to not take the pills?
>>342392636
The Japanese did things much more horrible than the Nazis. Nazis just baked cookies for 4 years. Japan disembowled babies.
>>342392679
you become a drug adict to get a game over
I thought this game was interesting when all I knew was the setting. I watched that video with the office work and the pinata and was intrigued. Then I learned it was Open World Procedurally Generated shit and lost interest.
>>342392717
It's mostly an estimation. We don't know what these British assholes did, just that it was a "Very Bad Thing" to the point of needing to isolate themselves to live in their forever 60s world.
>>342392759
Oh, well I guess that kinda works.
>>342392617
Are you fucking kidding me right now faggot?
>MGS2: Plot revolves around a program by which Solid Snake can be replicated in any situation by any individual regardless of their genetics or history.
>MGSV: Entire story revolves around a gambit by which Big Boss can be replicated by a man with no individual identity, no genetic similarity to Big Boss, and only limited history in common with Big Boss
>>342392278
What's wrong with Gatsby
>open world games
>Movie "games"
>Walking simulators
It's not getting better is it?
>>342392903
Ah ok, thanks for clarification. Very much a wait-and-see game.
>>342393343
If only the gameplay wasn't what it is
a Brave New World/1984 inspired survival game sounds interesting but that atrocious artstyle completely ruins it
>>342390647
it is also randomly generated, if that makes it any worse
Don't judge a game until you play it.
>>342390647
it's worse than open worldIT'S PROCEDURALLY GENERATED
>>342386005
>trailer looks great
>its just another early access survival game
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
>You are a Downer living in the outside with other Downer rejects
>You have to escape Wellington Wells
>To do that you must go into Wellington Wells in order to do so because I guess you can't just keep walking in the Downer side because they want you dead as much as the Joy addicts
I'm missing something but I don't know what
>>342394206
>>342394424
I don't understand why anyone would think that's a great idea. It only works if you have a very simple set of variables, like FTL or Binding of Isaac, and even then the result is much less interesting than a crafted experience.
I'VE GOT THE JOY JOY JOY DOWN IN MY HEART
>>342394971
The destroyed area (called the Garden District) is still part of Wellington Wells. The (optional) story revolves around you finding your brother, so the objective isn't just to escape.
So between the 2 overhyped procedurally generated indie games on the horizon: this and No Man's Sky.
Which one will be worse?
>>342396350
No Mans Sky: This game at least looks like it'll actually come out soon and it has a goal other than fly places.
>>342396350
no mans sky
the empty universe dig was tried before many times an failed each time, while the alpha avaible of this is at lest playable and your typical streamer bate material if nothing more
>>342396350
If no man sky will end up being good I will eat my hat
But I expect both titles to be painfully mediocre at best if not an unplayable messes
>>342391749
I think pretty much everyone has. Maybe "shoehorning" is too strong, but there's a couple things in a trailer that don't fit into either, so people who call it literally one or the other are wrong.
>>342391478
No but anon you don't understand, this one is DIFFERENT!
>>342388310
It means OP is underage.
>assuming that the books you were taught in high school are worthless because they're taught in high school
Please rise above this.
>>342392394
Yeah like anybody here is any better
>>342392278
Don't you talk shit about Shakespeare faggot
>>342386005
Wait, it's procedurally generated?
Was hoping for a bioshock/dishonored game
>>342388421
My god this anon is starving! Here have a (YOU), it's the least I can do.
>>342392989
Uh anon you need to keep playing MSG2 all the way to the end.
>>342399346
It's almost like there's a reason why they choose those books as the only ones that everyone is forced to read.
That said, you wouldn't procedurally generate a book, so it'll just be a shit imitation of one idea of a few classic books.
Can someone here please help me understand how this is anything like bioshock??
>they wear masks on their faces
>set in not-today
>gubbermint is not nice
this is all I can think of
>>342400241

>>342391478
>WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING DIFFERENTLY THAT THE OTHER MILLION OF THESE HAVEN'T DONE ALREADY
Why would they do anything different when the retards keep buying them?
>>342401391
They have to fill the release gaps between FNaF and Isaac games with something.
What else are the autists going to play?
>>342390978
Read it last year for fun. It was ok. Some parts more enjoiable than others. I'd say a 7/10, maybe 6.
>>342398843
It's not literally one or the other, but it looks to be a pretty sloppy amalgamation of both Brave New World and 1984. And considering the elements of both those books that this game borrows almost 1:1 have been long since overdone in the ~70 fucking years since they were written, combining them does nothing but form possibly the single most unoriginal dystopian world ever fucking made.
Why hasn't anybody made a game with a greek tragedy aesthetic?
Look at those masks
>>342391701
fuck offmatthew
>>342404598
Are those historically accurate?
