[whyman]

Some cel shading and less clutter would make this work. Atm horrible.

 

[Cymbal Head]

Always the one to notice details.......I'm wondering something.

That appears to be a flint/match/wheel-lock rifle. However, when the character fires the lock doesn't appear to rotate.

Ghosts did it.

 

[EvilKatarn]

This looks like the most black metal game ever.

I like it.

 

[popeutlal]

A black and white artistic FPS sounds good on paper...then you actually see the footage. Yikes.

 

[shandy706]

Ghosts did it.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say, .

The string on the crossbow functions. So the lock should rotate on the gun.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Looks alright, i'm sure the shooting mechanics will be great if its FEAR guys, undead conquistadors is cool idea.

 

[Agent Matt]

"The surreal look of Betrayer also melds with its low emphasis on instruction."

No hand holding? Well color me interested.

Spoiler

Just a joke on lazy explanations for anomalies in movies/books/games with a supernatural element.

 

[dreamfall]

Whoa!

Out of nowhere!

I am definitely intrigued. Cate Archer is definitely missed.

 

[Noisepurge]

colour me intrigued due to dev team!

 

[Darklord]

Bleh, awful art style. I'll pass.

 

[Frodo]

I see plenty of grey, WHERE IS MAH BROWN?

 

[Danneee]

Black and white will be the new grey and brown?

No way I could enjoy playing that without getting a headache.

 

[hiryu]

Looks awesome to me. I love the setting and the music in the trailer was cool too.

 

[Wiktor]

God, finally the talent from Monilith left to do their own stuff instead of being Warner Bros C-team. Really hyped about it as well as anything else they will do.

At it's height Monolith was the best FPS developer around. Better than Valve, iD, Raven or Bungie.

 

[RionaaM]

Whoa!

Out of nowhere!

I am definitely intrigued. Cate Archer is definitely missed.

Not only a Vice City fan, but also a NOLF one? You, sir, have an incredibly good taste!

 

[-Horizon-]

First person MadWorld?

 

[TheDanger]

eye cancer guaranteed

 

[massoluk]

Well, they are trying something different, but I don't think I'll buy B&W FPS. Sorry, call it prejudice.

Also, I want another like NOLF, not another undead/zombies/horror FPS :\

 

[Forsythia]

...behind F.E.A.R. and No One Lives Forever...

Sold.

 

[Grisby]

Feel like I'm not seeing the enemies that well in those gifs. The art style is a bit distracting.

At least these guys are making another FPS though.

 

[Jackpot]

Franky it just makes it hard to see what's going on. And the aesthetic gains of that style are very little.

 

[DukeBobby]

Well, I'm sold.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I think it looks pretty beautiful even if the animations could use some work.

Also, this and Dragon's Crown are pretty good examples of why devs don't try bold art styles that often. The more stylized it is, the more people are turned off by it just due to personal taste. Kind of sad really but generic art styles are the best way to ensure the least amount of people dismiss your game before even playing it.

EDIT:
Also is it just my player or is the Youtube video compressed really badly?

 

[jacksepticeye]

The devs are good and have made quality games before

This art style however is terrible, having enemies almost totally blend in with the environment and making them really hard to see or focus on is a bad idea. Could hardly make out anything in the trailer

 

[ironcreed]

Can't handle the black and white. It is just too distracting. If it were just some temporary effect that happened every now and then it would be fine, but as an overall art style for the entire game? Just not feeling it.

 

[Gbraga]

I like the art style, but my eyes already ask for mercy with the trailer, imagine the full game >_>

 

[Xpliskin]

My eyes

 

[Geedorah]

Wow, the art direction is way too jarring. Gonna be way hesitant about this one.

 

[rjc571]

I'd buy it if it were in color

 

[sixteen-bit]

Mad World 2?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Whoa, somebody liked MadWorld.

But yeah, FEAR remains my favorite shooter ever, and I love old Monolith just in general. So I'm excited.

 

[RoboPlato]

I can't even look at the screens. Hurts my eyes. This is coming from someone who loved Madworld.

 

[op_ivy]

looks great. now someone make a sin city game.

 

[2+2=5]

I can't even see what's going on!

 

[KungFucius]

But September is the last month of the quarter.

Quarters are decided by the company. My company's quarters end in July and October.

 

[BigDug13]

Hoping for FEAR level AI.

 

[Servbot24]

Guess they saved a lot of money by cutting out texture artists.

 

[vio]

This game will fuck your eyes out.

 

[batman2million]

August? This month?

Man there are already so many games coming out!!! Why couldn't this come out during the summer drought!


Still, looks great!

 

[DirtyLarry]

Personally love the art style itself but it seems to already have failed on a very base level. From what I see, all the enemies are "glowing" red, at least the ones shown in this trailer. This was clearly done to separate them from the background. So from that perspective, they have indeed already failed IMHO.

Perhaps i am wrong, and there is a reason besides being able to see them that all of the enemies have a red mist coming off of them.

 

[superbank]

Looks kind of terrible but at the same time I can see how it will work for the game/gameplay style. Should be interesting.

 

[King Boo]

color me interested.

reminds me of that wii game, madworld i think it was called.

 

[MoonLightWave]

Colour dlc, $15 dollars.

 

[Dance Inferno]

You'd think something by the creators of NOLF would rocket to the top of my most-anticipated list, but the trailer for this leaves me surprisingly uninterested.

Bring back NOLF I say.

 

[Cheese Raptor]

Color will bring it down.

 

[Fried Food]

Do want.

 

[Dance Inferno]

I loved NOLF because it was funny and lighthearted, and was hugely disappointed that the team behind it turned their backs and spent the following decade on the utterly boring and humourless FEAR series. This isn't changing my mind. It at least looks more creative than FEAR, but looks just as tiringly serious.

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

 

[nynt9]

Is "person with bow stalks and kills people" the next thing to be overdone in FPS games?
