What's the general opinion so far on Scorn?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvBo_rKleNw
Love the giger vibe. I never really seen games pull it off. They've got the setting nailed down, but I have no idea about the level design or gameplay features.
I made a thread about it 10 minutes ago and got no replies bud.
Check the catalog before you post a thread like this, otherwise /v/ is likely to assume you're a shill.
I think it looks great but I didn't hear about it outside of Easy Allies.
Love me some biotech, so I'm interested.
>>343573081
Also feeling a Beksiński vibe
>>343573280
And a bit of eXistenZ, especially the gun.
Looks like a Beksinski painting, which is something I've been waiting to appear in a game for a while. I just hope it isn't a dull shooter.
>>343572851
hard to say anything since the game's not coming out for another year, and we've barely seen any gameplay. That being said, I love the looks and idea of it, so I'm slightly optimistic.
>>343573946
the Steam page says it's going to be a non-linear action adventure. Sounds good on paper, but we'll see how it translates.
>>343573946
Was about to say the same. I'd love this fever dream experience, but i became unable to feel hype or pre-concieved interest in vidya.
>>343572851
reminds me of that one movie where Jude Law builds that weapon with parts of his fantasy food
Loving it
I'm assuming that it will majorly be a puzzle game, but I'm looking forward to the stories they're promising. Hoping it's some serious eldrich level of "you can kinda understand it barely but not really" type of deal
Hoping for some seriously disturbing but at the same time mesmerizing stuff
>>343572851
Reminds me of that old as fuck comic we use to spam around here about a guy who was abducted, eaten alive everyday, regenerate himself in a pool of a strange liquid to be eaten alive again, finally totally transformed in something not human and managed to escape his personal hell, only we found out he was repeating the process in a time loop.
Looks cool but I wish they didn't announce games to early. If it's going to take another year before it releases I'll have lost all interest.
That's why I couldn't give two shits about FFXV, because they announced it so long ago and it's impossible to maintain any level of hype for that amount of time.
>>343575767
In the YT channel there's this Kickstarter promo, uploaded a year ago. Here's the thing: I don't like Kickstarters, as most of the people around here. That's probably why it wasn't really that discussed around here.
I've been following this game since the failed kickstarter. I actually found out about it through a banner ad on /v/.
Obviously the visual style is cool, and the way they describe the gameplay sounds fitting for the setting. I also like the developers' stances on kickstarter and episodic releases.
I have hope for this game, and I'm happy to see other people finally talking about it.
>>343575950
Oh dear it's a kickstarter?
We'll probably never see it then, and one year is optimistic.
>>343576054
kickstarter failed, they got funding from other source
>>343576054
I think that's why they're doing two parts. If part 1 is successful, they'll make the other half of the game. That way they'll know if to invest more funds into the game
>>343576206
You're not really selling it here m8
>>343575950
Yeah I read their website and they talked about how it was a last resort for them and how they hated the idea of it. They get some brownie points for that in my book.
>>343576345
It's just a logical guess
So no kikestarter? It's allright on my book.
Style is interesting, reminds me of all those old fuck DOS games, a vibe of unsettling and mesmerizing stuff.
>>343576704
>no kikestarter
Also no DLC, expansions or sequels, it will be a stand alone release.
>>343576704
Yeah, they tried to make a kickstarter (even though they don't like kickstarter), but it ended up doing so bad that they cancelled it before the 30 days were up. They said the game was dead and would never happen. But then a few months later, they randomly tweeted that they had acquired funding for the game and would release it in 2017.
>>343576345
It's more the fact that they are poor as fuck, so they have to wait for good sales of the first part and then finish the second part.
>>343572851
>Oh wow that looks like a cool adventure ga-
>first-person shooter
>>343577037
That also means it will have a niche group of fans doing OC around here loving the living shit out of the game, sell in a mediocre way, be under heavy sale on steam and then get picked up by redditors saying they liked it all the time / it's not as good as everyone say.
The "E.Y.E." effect. All over again.Mind you, im buying it on release.
>>343577376
Meh, it's not like it will have multiplayer, so I don't care about other fans of the game.
>>343577372
>first-person shooter
That's only one part of the game, though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=765bzjnywQc
>>343577372
this
This game really reminds me of Darkseed
>>343572851
i thought this was cancelled.
>>343578074
apparently they got funding through other sources
>>343572851
I now a new game too look forward too
Even if it's shit, the art design will carry it
>>343575502
You mean this comic?
http://www.plasticbrickautomaton.com/?id=71
>>343577747
It says pre-alpha, could have changed. Id love puzzle and some action anyway, I don't want another Talos whatshisname.
>>343578307
Yes. Absolutely love it. Old stuff right there.
Fucking christ I hate Organic architecture themes.
This shit bothers me so much I probably wouldn't even be able to watch the goddamned thing. It's disturbing.
Hope it ends up good nonetheless. Ain't touching that shit with a 10ft pole tho.
Nope.
It really just fills me with questions being presented with pretty much nothing but scenery. Is this environment supposed to look normal to the player character? Like, is this rampant use of biotechnology normal to them? When you get to the point in your civilization that everything can be grown without the need for a ton of machines or extra resources, would it look this disturbing just by virtue of biological expression? Is the main character even from the civilization that built the area they are exploring? Is it supposed to look that way normally or are the biological structures and machines sick in some way? Honestly I might be most interested in the game if these things are promised to be explained within the exploration aspect of the game.
>>343578753
It's unsettling, but I find it fascinating so I stomach through it.
>>343572851
>protag is not a nigger

>>343578753

>>343578753
>>343579587
>>343579587
Normie nothing.
I didn't fuck with Silent Hill as a kid growing up either.
Fuck all that shit.
GigerTech left me with some lastingi fucking nope fuel.
>>343579948
Not going anywhere ya coked out relic. How bout' that "Reboot" of your franchise after your buddy died.
this is something i've wanted for so long, and now it's here. I feel like this is gonna be a lot like ice pick lodge games, and be incredibly obtuse and alienating. how rad.
also anyone else have a strange fascination with their insides and wanna destroy themselves, and do you also draw weird fleshy organs or fleshy monster people?
Keeping a watchful eye on the development. Both trailers were cool. Gruesome technology, puzzles and weapons? Count me in.
>>343580116
Here mate. Absolutely fascinated by this art direction in vidya. Yume nikki and .flow were cool, I love bacterial_contamination and BLAME is awesome.
>get hyped
>forget about the game
>only read after months that the game bombed and I didn't brought it on release even if I wanted to
it's always like that for me.
>>343580116
Does anybody remember the name of a game that only has a trailer out right now? It kind of reminded me of Yume Nikki and it has its own site and everything.
That's probably vague as fuck but I hope somebody remembers
>>343580834
omori?
http://www.omori-game.com/
What is this game even supposed to fucking be?
Is it a shooter, an rpg?
DUMB GAME, DUMB OP.
>>343581101
Oh man that is it. Thanks a lot
>>343581101
Oh man shit looks dope
love the giger/bekinsky shit right there.
They inspired me to start making a roadside/stalker game with some similar aesthetics
I havent heard of it until now but the teaser has got me quite interested.
Fucking amazing design choices
Look really really promising
>>343578995
This game actually reminds me of Dark Seed, aesthetically. The main character visited the worlds inspired by Giger and actually came in contact with their inhabitants. You might want to check it out if you still haven't.
>>343577376
>The "E.Y.E." effect. All over again.
>I was one of the anon's who picked up E.Y.E during the small popularity spike in mid 2012
I hope I'm not one of the shitters
Definitely will be picking this up on release though
>>343573081
>>343573280
And from Cronenberg too.
>>343583742
Was E.Y.E really that bad? I've never played it
>>343572851
Intriguing. But highly disturbing,
>>343585628
check out the demo on steam, i played it last night, it's really good from what i can see
>>343585628
It's obtuse as fuck and fairly simple once you get the hang of it
But the atmosphere and insane bullshit is 10/10 plus the gunplay is fun so even if you don't like the extra shit it's still an okay play
Needs more benises and baginas
>>343578753
I fucking love organic architecture themes!
Especially bio-suits and bio-chairs and shit.
Organic fleshy everything I say.
>>343587505
It's always been a personal eternal fear of mine to become an immortal damnation of eternal pain and suffering in life and not being able to do anything about it.
All thanks to IHNMAIMS.
the first half and last bits of the trailer are fucking godlike
what do you guys think the shooting will feel like? also I wonder how much of it is going to be sheer exploration
>>343586448
I think I saw at least three baginas in the trailer.
>>343587669
Naw son, not everything would be hell.
Being part of the environment? Sure, that'd be lame, but having living clothing and operating biological equipment by having it merge with your neural net, your flesh entwining with its.
Pretty sweet deal if ya ask me.
>>343587684
It would be nice if they manage to make it feel meaty, fleshy and moist. Since the guns seem to be living creatures that I assume will shot various types of liquids or maybe plasma.
This sounds more sexual than I anticipated, and I don't know if adding plasma made it more or less sexual.
>>343577037
Sounds fine to me. Not every game needs a sequel.
In case anyone is interested, there's a devblog here:
https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=52426.0
If the music in the trailer is anything to go by, I'm pretty excited for the potential OST of the game. Dark Ambient stuff is top-tier.
>>343587973
>Since the guns seem to be living creatures that I assume will shot various types of liquids or maybe plasma
I'm expecting bone fragments and the like.
Organic architecture always makes me feel uncomfortable.
Not disgusted, but that feeling of anxiety, you know?
Anyway, seems like it will be a cool game, rather unique.
>>343589305
Oh yeah, I can see that too.
>>343589058
You should listen to Ulver, anon. This game is looking like the perfect blend of H.R. Gieger and Ulver and I'm so excited.
Wait, I have a video for you to experience it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rs_NRyNs4o
>>343589690
I also like Ulver, anon. Great tastes.
The use of horns made me think a bit of Lustmord though.
>>343589036
Nice.
where's the gameplay
>>343589036
>>343590138
I really like the details in the weapons.
>>343572851
Looks like my penis when I haven't washed it for a week or so
>>343590138
Biotech always gets me hard as a rock
Looks like its based off the same guy that did Alien (movie) creature design. I looked at the guy's artwork long ago and the game Scorn looks similar in design/aesthetics.
>>343572851
Why dose the art make me feel nauseous and give me a headache?
>>343590138
>>343590290
we tyranids now
>>343591369
That's the point.
>>343591369
nauseated, not nauseous. it is the art itself which is nauseous.
>>343577301
you know who else did that?
tim schafer
>>343577372
That's like calling Skyrim a first person shooter if you saw 3 seconds of ingame footage using a bow. Stop being a fucking retard.
>inb4 "I baited you! hahaha"
It looks like the type of game to be loaded with jump scares
>>343594656
Games like this don't do jump scares a lot.
This sort of artstyle is supposed to be overtly unnerving, especially when it has that "fine until you think about it" aspect where things get worse than they already look the moment you really try to fathom what's happening.
>>343595050
the problem is that its a modern day horror game
and a first person one at that
Its impossible for me to see it as anything other then jumpscares the game
I'm not saying the game has bad design
the art in it is fucking amazing
but that can only go so far
>>343595281
It has a bio-horror aspect but if anything that looks more like an action-adventure game.
Hell I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out more like H.R Giger's System Shock.
>>343595442
I just don't see it as going to be the atmospheric adventure game most people want
its either gonna either have jumpscares up the wazoo or its gonna be dead space where fighting enemies is a cake walk and nothing is really that scary
Devs now a days dont know how to give you just enough competance to question whether or not to fight an enemy
>hotdog vision: the game
Aw shit yes

Biological* architecture themes
>>343595959

>>343572851
Having a really good impression of it so far.
>>343572851
>I have no mouth and i must scream
>>343572851
looks like a game thats trying to be 3spooky with a bunch of skinless humans
ill pass
Reminds me ofTool's music videosthe pic of the PC in the op looks like a nasty rotten clit
>>343597797
>I know nothing about the artwork and genre that this game is practically a love letter to
>But I will reply to this post pretending that I totally knew that, because I was called out
>>343598349
>>343597797
It's Giger. fags. Grow some culture.
>>343600251
And Cronenberg. And Beksinski.
>>343572851
After Garage, I've wanted nothing more than more games inspired by the HR Giger aesthetic.
The biggest worry is the gameplay of course, but I'm hoping for a mediocre survival horror. The artstyle alone could carry this game for me if the gameplay is just okay.
>>343600858
Wanted to put a picture with this but I forgot
It's from Garage
Yes I want to play it.
No I don't want it shilled.
Yes I want the visuals to remain as they are in the trailer.
no, I do not expect it to.
>>343600963
Has anyone ever translated Garage? I tried watching an LP of it but it's so text heavy that it's near impossible to try and figure anything out.
>>343600963
That doesn't resemble Giger or Scorn in any way.
>>343595281
Play SOMA my dude, I'm a huge huge huge pussy but the environments and fleshed out world made that game too good to quit. It's not jump scarey at all, the only legit complaint about the antagonist perspective is that they will teleport around and always end up near yo.
>>343572851
bacterial/10
While they say they got other funding I hope that doesn't mean whoever funded them forces them to put their shitty OC into the game or threaten to take away money.
>>343587973
>I assume will shot various types of liquids
Maybe some type of stomach acid or maybe they're just fire at a high enough pressure to act like a water jet cutter?
>>343602996
Sorry mate, maybe you're just brain dead
>>343601841
I don't think anyone did, and I kind of doubt it ever will. Best you could do is watch a Jap LP or try and stumble through as much as you can yourself
>>343600367
Not that anon but I keep on hearing about those two people in these threads. Just who are they? I've only ever heard of Giger, mainly thinks to the Alien movies.
reminds me of Act 4 path of exile
>>343604662
a private investor is a million times better than kickstarter
>>343572851
Great artstyle, but where's the gameplay?
Is it just going to be like the Talos Principle, completing a variety of puzzles to continue the story, or what?
>>343605450
Zdzislaw Beksinski was an artist who isn't as well known as Giger, but he made some very unique surreal paintings.
>>343575181
>>343573946
are two examples of his work, and then there's a bunch more here: http://imgur.com/a/eiNBs
David Cronenberg is well known for his weird body horror films, like Existenz, Videodrome, and the 1980s version of The Fly.
You can see Beksinski's influence pretty clearly in some of the game's designs and concept art, especially >>343585820
You can also see Cronenberg's influence to a lesser extent, for example the organic gun shown in the game's trailer looks similar to the flesh gun from Existenz.
>>343607031
Thanks.
>>343606327
most likely, except with more horror elements involved.
>>343600251
I know who Giger is, /tv/tard. I was mentioning another example because everyone and their mother already mentioned him in this thread
>that fleshy look of everything
i can't handle shit like this
More biopunk games when?
>>343589305
I was thinking finger bones.
Cool, Tool is making a video game.
>>343611624
when it becomes mainstream, what do you think?
>>343572851
Just showed the trailer to my brother, he said
"so, what, you're an aborted fetus trying to escape aborted fetus hell? or something?"
It's safe to say I've got a good impression.
Let me know when there's some actual gameplay
I'm kind of curious where they're going with this exactly.
What's going to be the story?
>>343591340
kek
>>343593441
Except the devs are Serbs and we're a fairly shitty country, with low as fuck paychecks, while the prices more often than not keep rising up to the equal of their western counterparts. Not to mention, we have this ridiculous tax on PC parts that can double, or even triple, the price.
>>343577376
Bought E.Y.E in day 1 and been shilling it ever since.
/v/ only talks about ut since the sales where it was at 5 bucks.
I fucking hate this place.
>>343591340
Is this a bait?
>>343572851
Im always down for interesting settings
>>343615037
Too hard to tell these days. Just take it at face value.
>I was merely pretending
>>343572851
Setting looks good but need to see gameplay.
Quality thread overall.
I don't do well with horror games at all, usually I get so upset I quit 10 minutes in.
But when I watched this trailer for the first time I was so deeply disturbed but intrigued at the same time, like I HAVE to know what kind of fucked up things I'd see if I keep watching.
Perhaps some odd forms or somber tapestries.
Either way I am interested, don't even care about the gameplay just want to see more creepy stuff.
While I'm optimistic about this game and I'm going to buy it when it comes out. I really wish someone would make a purely "Giger-ish" aesthetics inspired game, (yes I know about DarkSeed). Something like a exploration - walking simulator game where you get to explore gigantic alien ruins or spaceships like pic related.
The closets thing we have right know are the last levels of alien trilogy, the Derelict chapter in Alien Isolation and the CM version.
>>343615705
Is Alien Isolation actually any good or just jump scares?
>>343616353
p. decent.
>>343616353
Is good, jump scares are keep at minimum because most of the horror is done by the adapting and "intelligent" ai controlling the Alien.
HOWEVER...
as much I fucking love that game I have to admit that sometimes having the fucking rape nigger from space breathing down your neck all the time becomes frustrating.
but is a solid game that you should play, shame it most likely will never get a sequel.
Faggot mod deleted Berserk game thread because he thought it was about animu.
Will a faggot mod delete a Scorn thread because he thinks it's about paintings?
>having to wait until 2017
>>343618679
We're already more than halfway through 2016
>>343600963
I forgot the name of this, thank you. I'm also very glad someone was able to get their hands on a copy for preservation purposes.
>Scorn is an atmospheric first person horror adventure currently in development by Ebb Software studio. Release date 2017.
>describing your own game as atmospheric
I will bet a sum of money that it turns out to be shit.
Never heard of it OP. Always a fan of the horrific merging of tech/flesh though. Gonna keep an eye on it.
>>343618725
I just dont trust myself. I'll forget about it and never get to play it.
Also, this looks too good to be Real. I fear it will never be released
>>343616978
>becomes frustrating
I think a better word would be overbearing.
The stress of this murderous beast ever at your back just builds and builds and builds, which feels horrible, but I think that's also the point.
I can't even begin to imagine how that would feel in real life.
>>343619476
Atmospheric means they'll put effort into the level design, but neglect the part where you actually have to play the damn game.
>>343620262
And also neglect the parts of level design that matter. It'll be a mess.
>>343620262
>>343620303
dark souls is plenty atmospheric yet retains great level design
>>343620376
>giant elevators everywhere
>good level design
Sure thing, buddy. It's also not described as an "atmospheric first person horror adventure"
>>343620262
>>343620303
Judging by the first trailer it will be, primarily, a puzzle game, and puzzle games tend to be have great atmospherics, or at least a level design suitable for the environments that you will have to interact.
>>343620454
name a game with good level design then
>>343620506
There are no game with good level design.
>>343620594
at least none you know of right
>>343572851
mate, I come here every day, and so I am seeing the threads you make
just admit you are a member of the dev team/shill, because honesty goes much further than posting the same threads 3 times a day and hoping no one notices
if you just said "here is a game I am working on with people, thoughts?", it wouldn't feel like you're trying to trick us into being interested in the game, and makes me respect you more
that said, I think it looks cool, but need actual full on gameplay to have a real comment
>>343620627
I know all the games.
>>343572851
I don't like horror games, but this one I want to try.
>>343620672
then name one game that
>>343620736
That what?
>Failed their kickstarter
>Was denied funding by Sony
I won't get hyped for this game
We'll see if it ever comes out
>>343578307
>he saw himself taking the cat away
fuck I never noticed it.
>>343611624
We can only hope
>>343620916
>>Failed their kickstarter
>>Was denied funding by Sony
you don't even know what either of these mean for the game
>>343622268
Probably means that the developers are asshats
>>343622685
Nah, more like the fact that this kind of games don't sell, and it's worse when the aesthetics of the game is appealing only to a very small niche.
Pretty much they failed to gain the attention of people in the Kickstarter and I don't think Sony wanted to risk money in a product like this.
>>343572851
hopefully it's a DOOM 4 clone and has actual fast paced action
>>343623383
Yeah, no, you missed the intent entirely.
Going to take your comment as written, not sarcasm.
It's far more likely to be an exploration/survival/puzzle game like Cradle.
>>343573081
>>343573280
>>343573737
>>343584618
What a fucking ripoff!
>>343623837
>what are influences
>>343624309
Speaking of which, where's my Blame! game and whatever happened to that SCP thingy (from before the whole SCP source thingy went retardo)?
>>343611624
Man I wish the biomechanical parts of Half Life 2 were more fleshed out. The combine dropships and gunships had really cool animal designs, but they didn't go that far with it.
>giger without understanding the serious sexual tones of giger.
At least he's dead so he doesn't have to see it.
>>343623383
>wanting another DOOM clone
No, thank you. I really want to enjoy the setting.
>>343625619
There is a hiant vaginal game with dozens of phallic pillars leading up to it at the end
>>343605124
looks pretty shitty compared to Giger and Scorn
>>343622685
Sony probably didn't want it because it isn't "cinematic" enough
