Witchfire announced (The Astronauts, FPS)
- Thread starter Transistor
- Start date
It looks like FPS dark souls with guns. It looks amazing, surprise of the night. That reveal was great too.
That bait and switch is a work of magic, when I saw the gun show up on screen my interest shot up instantly. Ethan Carter atmosphere and story experience + Excellent Gunplay? This is a winning formula, take note.
I can and I am. Why should a GamerGater (as this dev apparently is, I'm only hearing about it now) be given the stage at The Game Awards? Especially at this year's event which went pretty far to celebrate inclusivity. I'm a little disappointed in Geoff to let someone like that in just to get the reveal trailer.
I actually thought it might be a new Hexen to begin with.
Why? Were you thinking this is another walking simulator without watching the video?
Or is there another factor(s) from that game that you hated?
Speaking of Hexen, if you're a fan of the series you might want to keep an eye on this.
Actually knew it was going to be a shooter cause I vaguely recalled them saying they were working on a shooter a year ago, but still that trailer was great. The way they tricked people into thinking it was going to be a walking sim and then flipping the script was great, can't wait for this, cause this seems to subscribe to the classic style of fps gameplay (which has been making a comeback lately).
ya that was a masterful troll. i was actually thinking this might be the first walking simulator ill try cause i was digging the style so much, then holy shit its an action game looks hot.
I don't know if the whole dev team is in on it, but the lead(?) has absolutely said some shit. I'd be careful maligning them all because of him, but his involvement is worth noting.
A shame, again, because that's a dope trailer and it looks really cool. Teleporting is a cool mechanic for these kind of mob-shooters, and I bet they'll have a bunch of other rad stuff in there that I won't see.
Wait, what?
*Googles Ethan Carter Gamergate*
Well this is now The Last Night 2.0 for me. I guess I'll be skipping it.

Very excited for this one. Looks great and the talent behind it sealed the deal.
Normally, I'd skip this because of the GG connections, but unlike that Kingdom Come game and The Last Night, I didn't see anything too terrible being said by the studio at large. Misguided opinions, sure, but nothing too gross.

Creative director was an outright gamergater, siccing followers on people and everything. It might have been a while since he's done anything shitty (last thing I specifically remember him doing was around the latest Deus Ex?) but it's hard to tell whether that means anything given that GG itself has died down, you know?
I correctly guessed it was them from the art style and so was disappointed even before it was clear it was them.
EDIT: A quick glance shows him whining about Polygon and expressing sympathies for Last Night's dev in the past year (and to be clear I'm absolutely not declaring these things to be extremely objectionable by themselves, just red flags in general) so I'm going to go with a no on whether or not he's likely to have changed at all

Chmielarz's GG support is disagreeing with Polygon and Anita Sarkeesian and not liking politics in his games.
Game of the show for me, easily. Always down for an FPS that takes an unusual aesthetic approach, and the pedigree is rock solid.
But now I'm sad that any future threads are going to be overshadowed by discussion of the developer(s) as individual(s).

It looks really good. I just hope it does not have too much of the gameplay repetition Bullestorm and Painkiller had.
Looks hard, but fun, and beautiful. Probably not in-game footage, though.
I may check it out, depending on what I hear and how it shapes up.

This and In the Valley of Gods were the only games that piqued my interest.
Well, shit. Definitely won't be getting this now.
Campo Santo are cool people, right?

The user was warned for this post. Don't relativize the actions of a hate group.
I'm not very well versed in all political bullshit gaming has got into recently but from what I recall gamergaters are basically divided into two camps - misogynistic nut jobs and people who don't like to be dictated what they can create and how they can create. Adrian falls firmly into the second camp, so I have no problem with it. Now if he started to post some fascist regalia on his twitter that would be the first case.
I liked the art. I liked the gunplay. I'm gonna follow this game. That shotgun looks legendary.
