toblix Posted March 31, 2016 So this was announced yesterday: I watched this and thought hey, this art style is pretty damn neat, and then I felt a little uncomfortable at what looks like killing a bunch of innocent bystanders. It's obviously a syndicatelike, and I remembered I also found the gleeful massacring of little people in Syndicate a bit offensive (Ugh, now I remembered the Peter Molyneux GDC thing where he laughed as he described how you could set fire to ladies w/prams) and then I remembered that it reminded me of how I felt watching the infamous church scene in Kingsman. So I guess I'm just a wuss when it comes to gleeful massacres. Anyway, this trailer is popping fresh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sclpls Posted March 31, 2016 This looks great, innocent bystanders be damned! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WickedCestus Posted March 31, 2016 I love the look and style of the environment; it looks like it would be a very interesting place in which to not kill people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted March 31, 2016 I really love the look and concept of the world design...but I'm not sure if I am down with the gameplay/controls(?). What's the term I am looking for? The way you interact with the controlling the player and doing the things the game wants you to do doesn't look that smooth/fun. Also think WC is onto something, I want to do anything but murder people in that world... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted March 31, 2016 Reminds me of the original Grand Theft Auto in some ways, which I have fond memories of, but I'm not sure I'm in the market for another twin stick shooter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted March 31, 2016 Mode 7 tweeted it as a cross between Syndicate and GTA 1. It strikes me as: Monument Valley With Guns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ewokskick Posted April 1, 2016 This looks like monument valley, but instead of charming it decided to be immature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
osmosisch Posted April 1, 2016 Satellite Reign made me realise I'm not actually super into Syndicate style gameplay, and that game had a lot of interesting systems on top of it. This looks beautiful but not my cup of tea gameplay-wise. Also I'm definitely over killing innocent bystanders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperBiasedMan Posted April 1, 2016 Given how many people here (like me) aren't big on the killing part of this. I wonder if the game will have the option of non combat (either inbuilt or through mods). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apelsin Posted April 2, 2016 I've had the same reaction as many of you toward this game. The art style looks really charming and stealthy action puzzles can be real fun but I've just really soured on games where harming civilians is so prevalent. While I never really was into those parts of GTA or similar games, I could at least see where a certain kind of entertaining insanity can rise out of the chaos of those systems but now it just leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. I wonder whether it is Hatred that was the final straw here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
