[The Infectious Paradox]

Welcome back Futuristic Max Payne


Seriously though I wanna like it but something seems off. Like it was what AI would make as a game.

 

[DAHGAMING]

We welcome a new challenger to Mindseye.

 

[Luipadre]

Mindseye 2 already in the works? Terrible plastic looking UE5 game

 

[Rush2112]

Take down animation looks like dogshit

 

[Nankatsu]

Getting Adam Jensen's VA for this was clever.

But yeah, game feels off. Why did I get the feeling that the actually game will look a lot like the last 10 seconds of the trailer?

 

[KiteGr]

Looks both cheap and expensive.
Like a Cyberpunk, trying to be Deus Ex, with worse acting.

I'll wait for reviews first.

 

[ValiantInstance]

I agree it comes off as AI generated. Most confusing trailer I've ever seen. It's like two separate games, the futuristic third person one with the Max Payne stuff and then a first person one with zombies. Makes zero sense.

 

[Flabagast]

VA in the trailer is so bad

 

[Zuzu]

...makes me think of the Deus Ex part 3 that we're never gonna get (at least anytime soon).

Anyway, I wishlisted it though it looks rubbish in numerous ways.

 

[Lorianus]

I call bull on that being a "gameplay" video not because it looks impressive or something but in the first person segments there are so many camera shake effects and little animations on the gun models/movement of the hands that makes it look really wierd, i bet that this is some kind of feature slice that they want to achieve but no way is this "played".

 

[RedC]

The problem is, it looks like the issue a lot of media has, which is a derivative of a derivative of a derivative.

 

[bender]

That line delivery starting at 1:13...

...maybe the case is you.

???

 

[TheAssist]

Couldnt be Berlin. Didnt see a single Chai Latte or Club Mate. Also this looks way to cooperate for Berlin. Would be more realistic if it was Kommune 87 instead.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Eh, it has potential.

that last cut scene shouldnt have been there.

that's the UE5 effect. when most of your game uses default tech by a defacto default game engine... stuff starts to look super generic and like you made a game in a level editor.

they are probably using a slightly modified default character controller, either directly one of the ones that ship with UE5, or one that someone sold as an asset in the store. the characters are probably all made in the metahuman editor, and most of the environments probably are modified premade assets.

I really wonder how much of what is shown in this trailer was actually made entirely from scratch by the devs of this game. it wouldn't surprise me if it's a tiny amount... and the cutscene animations probably make up 90% of it.

 

[falling into hell]

I will never buy something which has Berlin in it's title. It looks fake as hell.

 

[Nankatsu]

???

It's not him? MC sounds a lot like Adam Jensen's VA from Deus Ex at least.

 

[KXVXII9X]

This is how I have been looking at many of these low budget titles masquerading as AAA level games with their UE5 visuals and PS2 level animations, shoddy voice acting, and nonsensical "storytelling."

It's getting tiring. Whole time I was looking at it I was like, "yea don't release this."

 

[ComputerBlue]

Sounds nothing like him to me. But no, it's not him.

 

[Kacho]

Yeah, no.

 

[RedC]

It's not him? MC sounds a lot like Adam Jensen's VA from Deus Ex at least.

It also sounds like he's poorly attempting to say it in the cadence and tone of Lawrence Fishburne as Morpheus.

 

[The Cockatrice]

That looks like dogshit.

Mindseye 2: Electric Boogaloo

Yes you're right, it is him. He posted that he was going to be the main character on his Twitter last year:

 

[The_Observer]

Looks like one of those chinese games that never release

 

[Fbh]

Looks like shovelware that's basically using UE5 as a "AAA game" instagram filter lol.
It might trick people with screenshots and short videos, but in a trailer like this it quickly falls apart.

 

[Connificent]

I never asked for thus

 

[Guesclin]

"Nolan, what have you done ?"

BRAVO NOLAN !

[SJRB]

Temu Morpheus was hilarious.

Bizarre blend between Max Payne, The Matrix, Deus Ex (hello Adam Jensen voice actor) and some c-tier slop.

Might be cool but it probably won't be.

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

the girl is hot

 

[pnutboy]

I don't buy this as a real game at all.

 

[March Climber]

Looks both cheap and expensive.

That's the very definition of Eurojank.

This looks okay so far, but there are a lot of different concepts being thrown into one trailer which makes it feel almost messy and directionless.

If it ends up in the 7-range I'll try it out on sale.

 

[semiconscious]

We welcome a new challenger to Mindseye.

the new 'mindseye genre' is just about a perfect fit for current gen video gaming - the inevitable victory of style over substance...

What would be your most recent recommended games of substance?

 

[thatJohann]

Ermmmmmm…

 

[kiphalfton]

The voice actors clearly know what they're doing. So much emotion behind all the lines.

The type of game for them current ipad kids when they are abit older, smashing in dino nuggets and playing this brain rot junk "BuT iT LoOk GoOd"

the last ones i enjoyed were resident evil 4 remake & balder's gate 3. there aren't a whole lot of'm...

 

[Gripsx]

stinks of AI to cut corners, even used for cinematic animations

 

[Rocinante618]

- new studio
- UE5
- reused assets? yep
- kinda looks better than MindsEye though
- UE5 again = insane sys requirements and VRAM
- probably priced 70

yea, good luck. Nice setting imo

My thoughts exactly.
