All the best horror movies don't have much gore. Psycho, Rosemary's baby.....


I should of made myself clearer. I hate just about evey horror movie in existence, the acting is always of the lowest quality, with predictable endings, horrible plots, and worthless characters. But if they throw in excessive gore and nudity, hey I least I can get some entertainment from it.

Looking good!

I agree, except I also hate excessive gore and nudity.

...well. Excessive gore, anyway.

A whole game in black and white? It sounds interesting, however I can see alot of people dismissing it just' because of that feature.

Black and white graphics will make it unique and easily recognizable. On the plus side, black and white graphics are smaller in file size so more detail can be preserved in the textures.

I hope this game pans out. The premise is interesting.

I do to. I've been burned by vaporware before, hopefully this'll be different.

So the game is black and white.  And I should care why?

It's a somewhat creative idea but it's purely cosmetic.  If the lack of colour is the most significant feature of a game then that game is going to be pretty weak.  I want to hear how the game plays because that's what really matters.  Developers who focus too much on story or presentation typically don't make that great of games.  Sometimes they're still entertaining but without the storyline elements the actually game underneath is paper thin.  A good game, even if it has a fantastic story, would still be fun with no plot and basic shapes or polygons for graphics.  They wouldn't be as fun but they would still work.

"If the lack of colour is the most significant feature of a game then that game is going to be pretty weak."

Christ, Ian.  This game has hardly been announced.  Not even any screenshots have been shown for it.  We know next to nothing about the game, so why the fcuk would you  assume that's the most significant feature?  That doesn't even follow a trail of logic.
They mention it being in black and white, because obviously that's a major part of the game, the visual presentation.  But they've also touched on plot, gameplay mechanics, thematic elements, setting, characters, and the style of game it will be.  Did you even look at all of that?

Ian is the master of assumption...And assumption is the weakest form of argument...

I also like how Ian hasn't read up on the gameplay ideas they've already presented on the game...

"Developers who focus too much on story or presentation typically don't make that great of games."

I could not possibly disagree with this statement any more than I do.

The idea being that pessimism is assumption, while optimism is... what? Why is someone saying "I think this game could be really empty" somehow more of an asusmption than someone saying "I think this game could be really cool?"

I tend to side with Ian on this one. I'd like to be proven wrong, but with the only gameplay announcement being pretty much "You can use the remote like a knife," and with it being a brand new developer, I don't plan to get my hopes up.

No one's jizzing themselves about the game.  The style of the game sounds interesting, and the artwork looks fantastic.  There's some reason for hope, that's all.
