Like most people, I thought it was gonna be a multiplayer Dead By Daylight thing, so this is a massive and welcome surprise.

Im not expecting too much, but a game thats solid and feels like connected the stories world would be great, kinda like the recent Robocop game in that sense.
Wonder how much they'll charge outside of the collectors stuff.

 

[xVodevil]

Well just a few mins ago I didn't even know I needed a game like this in my life. Now I do.

 

[rubik's dude]

I was thinking more of a real life comparison.
Who in their right mind would interrupt sex to play with a puzzle? It's unrealistic.

I saw all the movies, but they were intentionally goofy, it doesn't translate as well to a video game where sex is mostly cringe since it can't fully capture the moods and environments.

Well the idea is that the people who come into possession of the puzzle box aren't normal people, they're desensitized to normal pleasures. They seek the box out for what it offers, not knowing that it just takes them to hell.

So yeah, people like that probably would play with the puzzle box during sex.

 

[GymWolf]

Look pretty cool.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

In this case it cannot be any immersion breaking since its true to the franchise. Sex, gore, chains, pain.

It's setting the tone to let people know from the start.

Angry, it's immersion breaking due to the animations not because it's sex, heck, it looks like 2 animatronics/dolls trying to imitate having sex...
I mean, in some games it's already immersion breaking when characters kiss due to the animations (hence why most of the times camera switches to another angle).

 

[jm89]

Love this franchise, hopefully it ends up being good.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Sex is a major part of Hellraiser. You're seriously more okay with people being flayed alive and decapitated than getting it on?

Bradley back, single player, looks awesome.

See my previous post/response to Angry Megalodon

PS : It's not a Barker thing, it's a tech one

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Glad that its actually a single player game. Friend of mine is gonna love this.

 

[Musashipan]

Nice
I'll be looking forward to this

 

[Branded]

its a video game its not suposed to be realistic

we live in a crazy world where people choose their pronouns and can identify any gender they want , i think playing with a puzzle box during sex is less crazy than that

Yes but in-universe, nibba. IN-UNIVERSE logic.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Down to play this for sure. I heard about the movie reboots a while back and just assumed they would be updated to today's viewers...didn't expect a single player video game where you bang and play with boxes...sign me up.

 

[drotahorror]

Fuck yeah I thought this was going to be a shitty MP game. Looks sick.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

In like Flynn

 

[El Muerto]

Huh, already had this wishlisted.
This looks damn good and it looks like they're using locations from the first three movies.

 

[clarky]

Dreams can come true!

Kinda weird that I read this post in the voice of Gabriel. And still keep doing it.

 

[SupaComputa]

Is this a remake of the cancelled NES game?

 

[LazyParrot]

Cool, will remain cautiously optimistic, been reading Clive Barker since I was a kid but we have yet to see something truly great based on his works (as far as videogames obviously).

I thought Undying was pretty great. It's not based on one of his books or short stories, but his name is on the box and he did do all the writing for it, so I guess it counts.

Sorry, I thought u meant the scene itself. Well, it's not AAA and that's the risk of trying something like this with a limited budget.

I'm more concerned about the gameplay itself. I'd love this to be like Eternal Darkness (the Gamecube game).

Don't. Don't give me hope.

 

[TheDuskwalker]

Wow, an actual horror game instead of yet another Dead By Daylight if they player count was literally dead by daylight.

 

[simpatico]

Woah, will follow this one to release. Hopefully a nice little AA surprise.

 

[Nonehxc]

Oh yeah lets open The Lament Configuration baby!

 

[Zacfoldor]

Not a big fan of the ip....the stories from hellraiser are super gory body horror which I hate but the lore is actually very interesting and is actually more sci-fi than anything.

I always thought the concept of hell being a large stack with a spinning malevolent rhombus controlling everything to be interesting.

I always thought games would move forward only when adult content was considered just another part of the artistic medium.

Movies are probably done with hellraiser but we can take what they threw away(like Riddick) and make it something great.

 

[A.Romero]

Sign me up

 

[forsakkenSoul]

Just the fact that it's SP and not another Dead by Daylight clone, that alone deserves some credit.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I wouldn't say 1 and 2 were intentionally goofy. Intentionally campy to some degree, yeah, like low budget campy operatic.

It's just unrealistic in the sense that 1) it's a horror game/movie, and 2) you're likely not a drug addict sado-masochist seeking the ultimate extremes of pain and pleasure. Maybe you are, though, no judgement.

I always love how they think they want new sensations until they meet the cenobites and realize they've been playing in the minor leagues all this time.

 

[Connificent]

Game...CUBE....

Eternal Darkness gameplay confirmed LETS GOOOGOOGOGOGOOOO

 

[spookyfish]

>sigh<

I went ahead and ordered. Because I'm an easy mark.

Stop, I am in.

 

[Mokus]

Well that is extremely gory, graphics surely advanced since Clive Barker's Undying.

But let's see if payment processor will allow us to buy it.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Hot couple, fucking and tits in a gameplay trailer in 2025? Is the world finally healing?

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Very surprising. Expected a video game from an ip like that to look like some low effort, clunky trash, but this looks great.

 

[roosnam1980]

Day one

 

[CrimsonTide]

The Cenobites were amazing. This game has so much potential and it looks stunning. Hopefully it is 2025 release, but likely fall 2026.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Yeah hahah. I love the moments of, oh fuck, yeah this was actually too far.

 

[CrimsonTide]

Yeah hahah. I love the moments of, oh fuck, yeah this was actually too far.

The Cenobites are actually good people and give them what they wanted. Sex and pain for eternity

 

[Blueghost]

Finally a single player game based on a classic horror franchise, looks amazing! Maybe if this is successful they can drag out of the toilet Friday the 13th, predator and evil dead, boy did they screw those up big time.

Yeah we need a REAL Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street

Hell give us Halloween too

How have we NEVER had these? (other than 30 years ago on NES) and Halloween was only on the Atari 2600

 

[kiphalfton]

single player, hell yeah

IKR

I hope to see more single-player licensed games.

Evil Dead could have been great, instead it was get another low effort multiplayer game. Which is unfortunate as we'll probably never get another console Evil Dead game within Bruce Campbells life.

Same with Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc.

So much wasted potential.

 

[Ar¢tos]

It's interesting that even if the game turns out to be total shit, it will still be better than what any of us was expecting.

 

[rubik's dude]

Just the trailer alone is enough to give me confidence.

More than half of the Hellraiser movies weren't even Hellraiser movies to begin with, they were generic screenplays retrofitted to be Hellraiser movies so studios wouldn't lose the rights.

 

[JayK47]

Brutal. That trailer will give me nightmares.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I am all in, I'm so happy to see that it's not an asymmetrical multiplayer game, known horror IPs need a break from that. AND they're working closely with Clive Barker? Stoked. I really hope it ends up being decent. Knowing Saber's quality, I feel like at its worst, it will be solid.

 

[Mister Wolf]

 

[Sethbacca]

Not even a fan of the franchise but this looks brutal.

That explains why the movies after 5 were awful and unwatchable.

 

[Braag]

I'm guessing Clive Barker doesn't have a hand in this, but it's from Saber so could end up good.
