And again I don't know what to make of its tone. Is it Survival? Serious Sam-esque shoot-a-ma-thron? Part of it looks survival esque but then the character pulls some fucking anime fighting moves and it looks silly. Is it open world? Is it corridor crawler? Is it semi-open world? Is it linear? Open-ended? Judging from the map it "looks" like it has a lot of places to cover but that trailer map can be awfully deceiving. You can easily say one thing and do something completely different because your interpretation of the genre differs from mine. Is it horror? Is it action? Is it RPG in first person? Is it action RPG? Well the trailer says it is action RPG, but I don't see any RPG aspect to it so that means nothing to me. But I don't know what kind of game it is. I'm not someone who's read a ton of interviews and lurked around the game development like a hawk so I know enough of the backstory to make sense of it.Īll I know is that it is in Russia or whatever, robots are around and it got some alternate reality thing going on. It's random, isn't your interest peaked? Not really. All I see is pretty visuals which at this point mean nothing to me and random. A trailers job is to lure an audience in and I personally can't be lured in with this.
I found Bioshock far more consistent in its setting than this, even judging by its trailer from back in the day.Īnd I'm not being cynical or even necessarily skeptical about it either, I feel nothing for this trailer. I remember the last time there was a trailer for this and I felt the same way. Maybe there is context for all of it and it all makes sense in the story but it just seems like they're desperate too show off anything that might hook a player. Or the big jolly fat robot break-dancing?
Or the Donnie Darko rip-off floating streams? What is the reason for the bloodvein monster? They're a part of the world and the world reacts strongly to their presence in it. Look, a ghoul in Fallout has a reason for being a ghoul. Just looks like random shit thrown together for the sake of randomness sake.Īnd the tech demo aspect? Just go to the part of the video where he goes over the mirrors and you'll see what I mean. I've actually worked on being less negative as of the past 2 years.īut this? I just don't see what there is to be excited about. Not trying to be overly negative or anything. I have no idea what the hell I'm looking at and the more I see the less sense it makes to me.Īnd when it comes to some of the technical stuff and graphical fidelity it just looks like a glorified tech demo. All I can think about when I look at it is "lolsorandom".
