Immersive power of PS5

As we were developing the game for PlayStation 5, we finally had the opportunity to tap into the potential of the DualSense wireless controller to immerse you even further in this twisted world, extending the synesthetic experience of Scorn. It allows us to deepen the player's immersion and to let the whole world "breathe" in a new way. Since there is no spoken dialogue in the game, we have put a strong emphasis on environmental storytelling, hence haptics are a great addition to this peculiar audio-visual experience.

The main character in the game interacts with the world mostly by using his hands. Most of these interactions are also painful for the character. That's where haptics comes into play. The imagery offered to the player's eyes is painful by itself, but we wanted to increase this feeling by giving a sensation to the hands holding the controller. Players are also able to feel the directions of haptics (left or right hand), further adding to the experience.

Exactly a year after.

Exactly a year after.

 

[ElCasual]

No, Thank you.

 

[HTK]

I'm good.

 

[Gaiff]

Damn, Microsoft really hates Sony, huh?

 

[R6Rider]

 

[Bradamante3D]

A game with good intentions - i.e. create an interactive Giger artwork - but basically zero worthwile gameplay.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I'll definitely grab the physical deluxe!

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Must have restarted the game 3-4 times since every time I just lost interest.
5th time was the charm and I was finally able to finish it - having the puzzle solutions playing on my phone 'cause God damn, these were some of the worst fucking puzzles I've ever encountered in a game (Grim Fandango excluded).
They were so utterly flow-stopping, boring and disrespectful towards the player's time that IMO, the only way to enjoy this is by having the solutions ready as to be able to treat this just as a normal, atmospheric walking-sim/adventure game.

The esthetic and imagery is top-notch and the story is also kind of cool, just don't expect anything earth-shattering.

Unfortunately, when people talk about Game-pass quality titles® and how they devaluate gaming...this would be the poster child for it - it's kinda nice while it lasts (6-7 hours) but other than that...

 

[NeptuneCL]

I was super excited for this game...., but it was boring as hell!

 

[bender]

While I didn't enjoy it, I think the game is exactly what the creators intended which is admirable.

 

[adamsapple]

Give it a shot PS folks, it's grotesque but a very unique kind of game.

 

[LordCBH]

No I think I'm good

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I enjoyed it for what it is, but it's the very definition of a one-and-done experience. Frankly you can watch a let's play, and save your money.

 

[Apocryphon]

It looks great but it's clunky and boring.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Oof, yeah I think I'm good. I hope these devs were able to cover their cost with that game pass deal.

 

[Putonahappyface]

 

[Gambit2483]

Yea...no.

 

[N0S]

Wheres the Xbox deluxe

 

[T_T]

Cool! And there is a physical option for the collectors.

 

[Tripolygon]

Exactly a year after.

It's almost like there was an exclusivity deal to prevent it from releasing on other platforms. I could be wrong though. Lol

Xbox doesn't pay for exclusives.

 

[killatopak]

Gonna double dip.

 

[SlimySnake]

It's almost like there was an exclusivity deal to prevent it from releasing on other platforms. I could be wrong though. Lol

Satya Nadella testified under oath that Ken Kutaragi personally kidnapped and forced him to sign the 1 year exclusivity at gun point.

It's as if this has been a practice that's been done in the industry for over 20 years..........

Is there a phrase for it?

 

[Bartski]

do it

 

[bender]

Satya Nadella testified under oath that Ken Kutaragi personally kidnapped and forced him to sign the 1 year exclusivity at gun point.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Seriously ?

That's awesome, so happy they release a physical edition.

 

[ANIMAL1975]

Satya... Phill...
Booty?

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[Alebrije]

Keep it on Gamepass , no need to hurt more people out there.....

 

[Thief1987]

Give it a shot PS folks, it's grotesque but a very unique kind of game.

Ok, will try when it will be free

 

[solidus12]

Give it a shot PS folks, it's grotesque but a very unique kind of game.

No thanks, bro.

Spoiler

today was Eid for me as well

 

[adamsapple]

No thanks, bro.

Spoiler

today was Eid for me as well

Just think of it like the eid goat

 

[mrmustard]

Beautiful disturbing little game with nice riddles and art style.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

For the outstanding work that Adis and Brian delivered on the score and sound effects this is an easy buy.

Already have the vinyl so it's time to experience this as these two mighty producers intended me to.

 

[Dick Jones]

Satya Nadella testified under oath that Ken Kutaragi personally kidnapped and forced him to sign the 1 year exclusivity at gun point.

If it involves Ken, it could be true.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

No thanks.....and to think, at one point this game + GP had people hyped...lol

 

[PisswasserYellow]

I wanted to like this game but man was it boring as shit.

 

[solidus12]

Just think of it like the eid goat

No I mean it, Eid Al adha.

 

[adamsapple]

No I mean it, Eid Al adha.

Yeha I'm not saying for that, I mean just think of the meat cubes and bodies in Scorn as part of eid al adha

 

[Gambit2483]

I wanted to like this game but man was it boring as shit.

No map, no narrative, no obectives...what could go wrong?

 

[Bo_Hazem]

 

[AtomicStarving]

Didn't play this game yet but the aesthetics are pretty much this song?

 

[Kusarigama]

Scorn, to me isn't horror but vomit inducing

 

[sendit]

This is a game pass for me.

 

[scydrex]

Mmmm no thanks. Even if it's on plus extra will not play it.

 

[Clear]

I wanted to like it, but found no discernible hook to the gameplay.

Its well presented, but... ehhh.

Too much effort as a demo or art-installation, and simply uninteresting as a game.

I feel mean saying this, but I think most people would get more from buying a Giger or Beksinski art-book.
