Cool stuff, but what stands out is the lack of dismemberment. If you're gonna be this much like Dead Space, then just copy that too.

 

[Skifi28]

There's nothing I particularly dislike, but there's nothing I really like either. It's like if you fed an AI existing games like dead space and silent hill and it spit out this. I just can't get excited for it.

Exactly how I feel. Seems like a decent 7/10 game. Bloober team is definitely trending in the right direction, but they need to do much better when it comes to their combat. It's way too safe and paint by numbers

 

[Mister Wolf]

Day one for me.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Eurogamer dude is really, really unhappy with the inventory management. I can't tell if it's just that Bloober made a shitty version of old school Resi style inventory management or if he hates the concept. He does say he's an avid Horror fan so maybe Bloober just did a bad take on it.

This game has been a rollercoaster ride for me every time new shit is posted lol.

Metroidvania-ish, old school structure with tons of secrets, shortcuts to unlock and keycard-ed doors?

Yep. After SH2, I'll give them a chance no matter what, and what they've said sounds good.

Unfortunately, I just haven't really been into the combat yet. Maybe it'll click as they refine it, but SH2 didn't have shinning combat either.

The one thing I do like is that you can charge shots on every gun and that environmental elements are highly incentivized. I didn't expect there to be such an emphasis on limited resources as there apparently is. Gives me hope that maybe the tactical aspect of all that will help. It seems to lean more Survival Horror rather than Action Horror. SH2R combat was simple yet addictive for me as well, it had a great feel that did a lot of work.

Eurogamer dude is really, really unhappy with the inventory management.

As I understand it, key / quest items take up inventory slots, rather than going into a magic bag. I can understand why that gets annoying.

On the other hand, it's meant to be a survival horror, so ...

I cant take seriously Eurogamer anymore

 

[Ristifer]

The no dismemberment is a bit of a weird one for me. But, I'm still intrigued here. That's not a dealbreaker for me.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

I hate RE inventory management, that's really a con for me.

Everything else sounds right.

NAILED IT. sure it looks pretty (because not much computationally going on). but it's the same shit. poking around in the dark, creepy thing bombs out, awkward/stiff shooting mechanics, low ammo (awesome and exciting!), shitty combat and movement. shall i go on?? or am i cool to start wiping? because i just SHIT on this one!

 

[Roman Empire]

Where are the "hands" preview? You cowards!

I'm just disappointed there is no dismemberment, as that is huge selling point for me as this clearly is inspired by Dead Space to some extent. Otherwise, it looks very good.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm down, though I agree that no dismemberment is kind of odd, I wonder why they didn't lean into that harder.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Looks awesome. The way the monsters absorb each other is kinda freaky. Has a certain Lovecraftian vibes too it. Cautiously optimistic about this one.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

I expected better. Enemies design looks meh, gunplay is meh, aesthetic is not that good and looks samey, performance seemed bad at times and graphics are worse than SH2R.

 

[Gripsx]

I can spot Silent Hill 2 assets in there

 

[Chuck Berry]

Fuck I want this so fucking bad. It's like Bloober's take on Callisto/Dead Space and I am BOUT IT BOUT IT.

 

[adamsapple]

Ehhhhhhhh .. not feeling this one at all. This looks like them going back to their own self-created AA jank worlds, instead of working off of derived material like SH2.

 

[mrMUR_96]

I wish bloober the best, but they really need a new combat director, it just lacks too much punch and impact, has always been a weakness of the theirs.

 

[Gitaroo]

Was super hyped about this then the ILL trailer dropped, that trailer blows this one away.

 

[GudOlRub]

Still liking everything I see.
As long as there's not any surprises on launch day and it's reasonably priced I'll play it.

 

[GymWolf]

Quintessential definition of "good enough".

Nothing really great or impressive.

And a sprinkle of returnal.

Check out this 35-minute gameplay showcasing the beginning of Cronos: The New Dawn! Follow Traveler ND-3576 as she lands in the New Dawn district and is tasked with finding her mysterious Predecessor.

Cronos: The New Dawn is coming to PC, PlayStation5 and Xbox Series X/S this fall!

 

[lastmessiah]

Looks good to me. Survival horror is really the most enjoyable type of single player game, in my experience.

They are definitely more engaging because you know shit will happen at some point.

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Game looks awesome, Day one

 

[Kacho]

Release date announcement at Gamescom I'm guessing?

 

[Giallo Corsa]

I mean, i could if it wasn't 70 Eurodollars.

After a while, these type of games start bleeding into each other...

 

[analog_future]

Yep. This screams mid-70s review average.

I'll probably pick it up for $15 in a year

 

[Hudo]

I hope they'll get to work on a new Alone in the Dark someday.

 

[Arsic]

I came here to preview some hands and left disappointed.

Game on the other hand looks great. Day Juan.

 

[clarky]

Watched the B-roll. Looks ok I guess. Wonky combat and a bit boring if I'm honest.

 

[Danjin44]

As survival horror fan we are eating good….both this game and Silent Hill f coming this year and we got RE9 for next year.

Silent Hill gonna clap cheeks this year.

I still think chronos will slip to next year in like February.

 

[analog_future]

And then Silent Hill remake the year after that. Good stuff

 

[GrayChild]

If they need to delay the game a bit more, February is pretty much the worst time to release it, as RE: Requiem will eat it alive.

Silent Hill f coming out this year and RE9 next year and highly doubt original Silent Hill remake coming out Feb, if that was the case we would have seen proper trailer for it by now.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I think I'm so starved for what is essentially my favorite genre, even the derivative nature and some shortcomings are things I can gloss over. The East Bloc aesthetic and it being a real slice of Warsaw is putting in a lot of work for me here. Between the sound design, the aesthetic and old school Survival Horror anything, I'd buy this unless it had pure disaster reviews. I also have a total boner for how old school some elements feel. That apartment building seems laid out like a maze, gas canisters and shit everywhere, keycards, brutal inventory managment.

My bad I keep rambling in here but this is inexplicably my #1 wishlist game right now despite being hot and cold on it somehow. This tickles somehighly niche fancy of mine lol

I'm fucking buying them all.

PS: Ironically find RE9 the least interesting by far. What a time.

 

[Gonzito]

We dont get very often these types of games and I think we should all try to remain positive and hope for the best

 

[Luipadre]

I like it. I love these type of games and i also loved callisto

 

[Bartski]

Looks like a 75 bumped to 89 by the setting, as it takes place in a city I know very well so that's highly subjective. I did expect more, but then SH2R was such a shock, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Day one if it fits in my calendar
