Who here's getting hyped for RE7?

Who here's already getting anti-hyped for Detroit: Become Human?

Re: Gaming Thread

Ugh, Detroit: Become Human. My best friend is a huge Quantic Dream fan, so I'm not gonna hear the end of it. THE ONLY THING THEY'RE GOOD AT IS FACE CAPTURE.

Re: Gaming Thread

Well, it's David Cage, so they're also great at: needlessly sexualizing female main characters, making incoherent plot twists, inserting random drug/psychology references for shits and giggles, and generally telling a really shitty story with maybe one or two interesting characters if you're really lucky.

Re: Gaming Thread

Well, uh... to be honest, I like incoherent drug stories. They don't appeal to me when Cage does them, though. And fuck his shitty gameplay.

Re: Gaming Thread

[herpymcderp]

Oh I have nothing wrong with a story having drug/psychosis plotlines as long as there's some kind of reason for it or it contributes to the narrative. Cage seems to just like to insert them into his work in order to ... idk, be a cool guy?

You're not a cool guy, David Cage. You're not.

I can't be the only one who thinks it's weird

[chardmonster]

that Detroit apparently has so few Black people.

I'm not going to scream racism because I literally don't think David Cage understands what's weird about this. I think he just sees Detroit as "oui oui that car place." But it's WEIRD.

I like story-driven games like this a great deal, but honestly I'm majorly squicked out by people being treated like objects, and that original short kind of traumatized me a little. So I'm not sure. I might stick to let's plays.

I better see some fucking self-defense in RE7. Leon has already been through not one but TWO city-wide zombie/mutant rampages, plus an entire countryside of parasitic cultists, plus whatever other shit he's been through. And yet he and these other dudes go to a spooky old house in the middle of fucking nowhere and don't think to bring so much as a gun? Maybe RE really HAS gone down the shitter as a franchise if it's joining in on the "I have no hands and I must wank" genre.

Also, Detroit: Become Human seems interesting on its face but it's yet more David Cage jerking himself into a stomachache over his perceived intellect.

Wake me up when The Last Guardian finally comes out.

Re: Gaming Thread

[herpymcderp]

I wish I had a PS4 to play the demo so I could see what's going on myself. The E3 trailer really didn't give too much insight on how the gameplay is going to work.

It just managed to look really... Silent Hill-ish? That was my takeaway.

Re: Gaming Thread

[dethtoll]

Well the trailer was clearly trying to ape PT Demo, but Silent Hill as a franchise has strayed further and further away from its roots over the last 12 years. I look at PT Demo and it's almost unrecognizable from the originals, not just in gameplay but also in presentation. It's like they've lost the subtlety that made the original trilogy so great. So "Silent Hill-ish" could mean anything at this point.

I've heard that there might be some methods of self-defense in RE7, so I'm not completely disinterested. But I'm really sick of Amnesia clones. The only one I even like is SOMA.

Oh, I will say that I got a small smile over the intro to the trailer with the telephone; it reminded me of the hours I spent plugging away at the original House of the Dead.

Re: Gaming Thread

[herpymcderp]

I meant Silent Hill-ish in terms of the overall atmosphere including the song they used. It reminded me perhaps too much of the SH3 OST. It's definitely a departure from the last few titles.

I'm suspending my judgement on it for the moment though... I have a feeling that whether or not I buy it at launch completely depends on the opportunity for co-op play.

Re: Gaming Thread

[dethtoll]

Atmosphere-wise? Nah, not seeing it. I definitely got more of an Outlast vibe, personally, especially once the chunks of human meat started showing up.

No way, I'm totally going to play the shit out of Detroit: Become Human. Haters gonna hate.
