I don't care about this game but still seeing these tired and overblown reactions to this stuff all the time is so exhausting.

Alien: Blackout announced. Survival horror mobile game. (See Staff Post)

I've played a couple decent games developed for mobile that try to be like traditional survival horror experiences.
Lost Within
Forgotten Memories
So you can create genuine survival horror on mobile.
Lol, I'm an idiot, thanks for the correction.
Didn't see a link in the OP or the article so I assumed this was a low-key announcement to avoid a massive outrage.
And yeah, I hope the devs won't get too much shit thrown at them over this.
No that's the multiplayer shooter that they are developing at the moment
Mod Post - Regarding mobile-whining
Official Staff Communication
That's enough mobile-whining, please. Let this thread serve as news for people actually interested in the game's release. Thank you.
Never played a mobile game, I don't know anyone that play's a mobile game.
My phone can't even play decent games, what kind of money do you need to put down for one that can?
These are part of the issues why I don't play mobile games because to get to the point of trying it out will likely cost a lot, next to a subpar experience on a small screen when I have my gaming pc and consoles at my disposal.
Oh well.

Oh god why
Seriously though, how is this a good idea? I can't imagine playing an immersive horror game on such a small screen

For what it's worth, I only found it because I had a hunch that the Google Play Store might have more media than the article and official site, and it turned out the store page sure did.

Since the trailer and screenshots and other details are buried under the other posts, can I start a new thread focused on the announcement? I have one ready to post
What's funny is that for an enthusiast forum, the attitude against mobile is incredibly uneducated and narrow-minded.
This place is supposed to be a space where people are informed about the medium (just like a dedicated movie or music website).
The blindside this place has for quality mobile gaming is really something else.
Pics look good but I've zero desire to play a survival horror game on my phone so all I can say is do it right and good luck.
I don't get this. Why try to force a positive reaction or discussion? If people want to genuinely discuss the game they're just as free to do so in this very thread, nothing is stopping them. If people want to complain or vent their disappointment about it being a mobile game that's just as valid. *shrug*
Whining that a game is a mobile game is no different to whining that a game is Switch or a DS exclusive, and that kind of talk would get smacked down in most respectable forums. Just because there's a current trend in gaming culture where hating mobile games in an extremely childish way is hip doesn't change that.
