Today was the Xbox/Bethesda Developer Direct, they show a lot of stuffs and one of those stuffs was this game made by Tango Gameworks Shinji Mikami's studio, developers of The Evil Within.
This shit is an anomaly, why? because:
- The game costs 30 bucks, 40 if you want your typical "Deluxe Edition". that's pretty low compare to other big companies releases out there.
- This just pops out of nowhere, seriously, nobody was expecting this to appear. there was no a previous announcement, this wasn't in the release schedule, no one from this studio say something before including Mikami himself. and speaking about releases.
- This was released TODAY! the game is already done and available to purchase on Xbox systems and Steam. That's the big surprise.
- And last, but not least, the art direction. GOD! this cell shading looks sick, i love the over the top comic book art style. they didn't choose a generic photo realistic Unreal tech shit or a bland and lazy 3D cartoon Fortnite/Overwatch style. they decide to make an own identity. wow!
This game is a complete anomaly, and more coming from a publisher like Bethesda. literally the could choose do something like a overpriced and overanounced 100+ hours barebones Triple-A title with MCU level acting and writing, bugs, underwhelming graphics made on Unreal Tech and generic decade old gameplay but no. they chose to do something, a videogame!
If i only had a Xbox i would definitly buy this game!
