New 10 minute gameplay just came out. It looks great, im craving for a new horror game

 

[Draugoth]

If this reviews high, then we can finally say Bloober is an elite horror team

 

[amigastar]

Is it an action packed horror game or rather like Amnesia?

 

[roosnam1980]

looks excellent , AAA indeed

It's a pulse-pounding, third-person survival horror game where time is your deadliest weapon — and your worst enemy.

 

[GymWolf]

Looks ok\decent.

Not super impressed by anything in particular.

 

[ElFenomeno]

Looks like a day one on Gamepass game.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Breh is the person playing it on valium? The game certainly looks slower paced, which I'm into, but dude...how slow can a human thumb move a controller stick.

 

[corgiix3]

This actually looks really good but the crowded release window and lack of known IP is gona bite them in the ass.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

This made me "get" what they're going for much more than previous footage. It has the straight Dead Space homage elements but the level design and atmosphere look way closer to Survival Horror which is actually great.

I REALLY like the aesthetics of the retro-SciFi tech within the crumbling 80s architecture. Combined with the really good ambient soundtrack, I got sucked in. It looks derivative on the surface but this video convinced me that there is a cool vision at play. A cool mixture of elements. I feel a lot of Returnal influence in here too which is beyond exciting to me. The heavy ambient mood and all. The level design gimmicks are cool and interesting too.

Also, dismemberment, weak spots, having to switch up ammo types to finish enemies off etc. looks like a tasty combat combo. Looks much more interesting than the last trailer imo.

Doesn't look like this has any sort of wound or damage system. No blood decals from weapons or anything.

I saw a leg get blown off with the shotty near the end. I still want every game to be Resident Evil 2 Remake since I saw that level of gore though...

Yea I think there's dismemberment but the fact you can shoot a monster 3 or 4 times without even a blood decal appearing on the body.... Even fuckin Goldeneye 64 did that.

Found the dev.

Still no release date? 2026 it is then. Whack. I wanted this in October.

Double weird because if I'm not smoking crack right now, SH2 Remake had blood decals. I remember enemies getting bloodied up, right?

Seems like one of those cinematic gameplay demonstrations they used to do at E3.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

They also go borderline Polygon Doom levels of terrible aim and movement at points but I can at least see that's not the game's fault.

Yep, i noticed that immediately.

Kinda strange because i think sh2 remake had at least some bullet marks on enemy but i could be wrong.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Dead Space clone, cool. Hope the retarded gameplay is because of the player + controller there.

 

[JimmyRustler]

SP horror game? Probably day one by default for me.

 

[adamsapple]

ehhhhhh, not feeling it. Bloober should focus on remaking SH games, at least they're working on strong bases there.

plus pathetic aim assist is clearly on here.

 

[Connificent]

Day one

 

[Nonehxc]

I can see they've been inspired by The Evil Within, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dead Space and Returnal in this short video.

Which in my book, is plenty of good inspiration so bring it on.

 

[SamuraiEdge]

Actually looking forward to this one because it's the only closest thing we will get to Dead Space as it is lol.

 

[drotahorror]

Honestly it's kind of turned me off the game now. I probably won't bother. Things could change though and maybe they're working on it.

The thing is, even in 2025, very few games actually have bullet marks, it's hard to make that a reason to not buy game or i should avoid 90% of them...

Most games have the hit zone that turn red, not actual bullet marks.

Pretty lazy if you think that an AA like atomic hearth has both bullet marks and melee marks...

How's the pay at Bloober?

 

[Clear]

See, as I've said before. Teams need time to grow and sharpen their skills in every department.

Its why the school of thought that says "x made a bad game, I hope they get shut down", is so hopelessly counterproductive.

Yeah but in a horror game with dismemberment and plenty of blood and violence, I expect there to be some body damage. It shouldn't be an afterthought or left out. Impact wounds and whatnot make the combat feel better and more visceral.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Looks mid.

 

[thief183]

Third person... I'm out!

 

[GudOlRub]

After SH2 I can't help but be hyped for this. I'm really hoping it's good.
My guess is they haven't announced a release date yet because they're waiting for COD, BF and other big hitters that will also release during Fall so that they can stay relatively away from those dates.

 

[Pimpollo818]

Dead Space re-skin, I'm in!

 

[Soren01]

Another female protagonist?

 

[pnutboy]

Looks like a pretty fun high 70s/low 80s game, not a ton I'm looking forward to this fall so I'll probably pick this up

 

[GudOlRub]

[Arsic]

They've been saying that for 2-3 trailers haven't they?

I want a date. Not a broad loose range lol.

We also know that it is 2026...
