Game looks decent but I haven't heard anything about it. Is anyone interested in it? Any reasons to avoid it?
>Holy crap this looks awesome>Watch the trailer>something seems off>Marathon the Steam store page. Mentions guns, enemies, bosses, but little about lore>Oh My God>It's just some fucking boomer shooter and there's no horror elements at allWaist of a great design. It has mascot horror written all over.
>>737044539looks funany other games that have this early 20th century cartoons aesthetic(apart from Cuphead)?
>>737044539Apparently it's filled to the brim with millennial banter, like a T Kingfisher novel. I can't wait for non-stop cheese puns, movie references & the mouse dealing with his ADHD trauma with quirky pop-culture zingers.
>>737044539Been on my radar for a while now. Looks neat. Might check it out.
>>737044539Watching some gameplay, there's something unsatisfying about the guns. I think it's the way they sound, the shots themselves and impacts.I thought it could also be the way things hardly react to getting shot, but that doesn't bother me in Doom and other shooters. Or maybe I am expecting more reaction since it's more animated.
>>737044945I think you hit the nail on the head with the sound. It lacks any kind of real punch.
>>737044634It's like bioshock, and acting like boomer shooter is a bad thing is something a tranny would say.
What is the dissonance that comes from murdering a bunch of characters but the setting tries to make you smile as you do?Like...you're still killing everyone you run into, they just die...funny.
At least when the setting matches the violence I'm not feeling unsettled.
>>737044634horror? why the fuck would you assume this is supposed to be horror?
>>737046562Because OP is a faggot.
>>737044634...are you fucking stupid? They've been very in your face that it's supposed to be a shooter combining noir themes with a early disney style world.
>>737046430Uhh, black comedy?
Been waiting for this for awhile and am gonna play it when I get home from work. /v/ doesn't do anything but complain like old sexless spinsters do.
>>737046846Actually, I figured out what's eating away at me with this game's tone.I associate this visual and comedic style with cartoons with inconsequential shit. Daffy gets blasted in the face by Elmer's shotgun and his bill got spun around to the back of his head, ha ha, laugh at the gag and move on. Even if "lol R.I.P. gravestone" is the ending of a gag (or even short) you know, whatever, they show up later on so it wasn't a permanent fate.But having to keep in mind that once you do whatever silly misfortune you treated your enemies to in this game they're ACTUALLY dead it doesn't feel natural. Like nothing I've ever watched that looks like this actually kills off characters with their goofy gags, you expect them to show up again (oftentimes later in the same short).
>>737048048Most autistic post of the day.
>>737048048Sorry, that was meant to be paired with this screenshot.>Lol, look at the funny mouse people. His head went pop!>but you actually blew off his head and he's not getting upI'm not saying it's something I couldn't get used to but at this moment I'm not there yet.
>>737044634Why did you think this would be a horror game when it's a noir pastiche?
>>737044634Based zoomer God
>>737044539Saar this is the same post as yesterday
>>737044679The Steamboat Willie game into the unwell as well i thinkThe animation style is called "Rubber-hose" for future reference
>>737044539it looks good but hard to tell how the shooting feels from videos. will pirate to demo and then buy. thanks for reading my blog
>>737044634>OY VEY NO LOREyou fucking zoomtrannies probably would kill yourselves if you had to play classic Quake let alone Doom or WolfensteinNo lore is leagues better than another fucking game about muh poor faggots with depression
>>737044634>boomer shooterDo you mean just shooter? What exactly is a "boomer" shooter? I keep hearing this phrase thrown around lately
>>737044634Excellent bait (unless you mean it, then you're giga-retarded)
>>737049521Zoomer phrase to describe any 3d shooter with 2d/pixel aesthetics.
>>737044539I watched a review from a shill channel and while they didn't mention it I could tell from the footage that the game lacks variety. You can upgrade your 3 guns but 2 of them are your normal guns. And the enemies are just a bunch of mice. The reviewer complained about the lack of interesting environments but I think it makes sense for the setting>>737044634The game has plot instead of lore>>737048048>Like nothing I've ever watched that looks like this actually kills off characters with their goofy gags, you expect them to show up again (oftentimes later in the same short).Roger Rabbit
>>737044539There are dozens of better and cheaper boomer shooters out there
>>737049521It generally means retro 90s Shooter, so think of games like Doom, Quake, Unreal, Duke Nukem, Heretic/Hexen ect and the more modern games like Dusk, Amid Evil, Cultic, Wizordum, Turbo Overkill.
>>737049521>>737049852Back In Mah Days we used to call all em shooters DOOM Clones
it's a game for old people, it basically plays itself seeing how slow everything is.might as well go back to >>>/tv/ because that's where mouse P.I belongs
>>737044539Rough sex with the mouse technician girlThat is all
>>737050242it's mostly just used as shorthand to distinguish these games from ones like Battlefield/COD/Halo FPS games i.e. games that have regenerating health, two weapon limits and more focused non-maze-like level design.
>>737044634People shit on you, but you're right. It is going to be another copaganda story about killing a bajillion mooks to discover a conspiracy led by a corrupt politician or cop.
>>737044634You don't "marathon" a page
>>737049852Is there any real difference between old and modern shooters? I mean singleplayer, not those mmo hero shooters
>>737049521boomer shooters are shooters done in the style of metroid
>>737050720Old/boomer shooters are open-ended mazelike metroid clones where you progress from finding keys and gear.modern shooters are like movie games. they are linear, you fire at npcs before you acticate the next cutscene
>>737050840obligatory
>>737050656>copagandaI know what you are
>>737044539Looks like something I would definitely buy on sale.
>>737050656Ah yes, noir private eyes are exactly the same as modern day police. Please kill yourself on the way out of this thread.That being said I will probably buy this game at some point, looks neat.
>>737050726You're going to have to elaborate on that one
>>737051035i love dirty harry, la confidential, french connection, and to live in die in LA, but i can see people being tired with cop/detective related stories. You have a big mystery and are cockblocked with red herrings for 99% of the run time until a twist is unveiled last minute, and it is grating if that twist is obvious
>>737049465doom literally drops a wall of text whem you start it though?
Old Troy’s really down bad for money these days, huh?
>>737051903in this economy? man gotta take every job he can before he's replaced by AI
>>737051903he's working, ever have a job anon?
>>737051190wonder if it's better than Fallan Aces
>>737044945A lot of indie games have this issue imo. Lack of audio feedback or oomph
>>737044634>le old cartoons have to be LE SCARYgo back to bendy faggot
>>737048048? People constantly dies for "realz" there, they just comeback the next short, fucking Tom got beheaded and that was threated seriously.
>>737052037Just saying he dropped that attitude of being too good for certain roles recently
>>737044539I preordered it cause the OST is done by Caravan Palace.
>>737048048Who Framed Roger Rabbit did the exact thing (you) are blabbering on abaut almost 40 years ago.
>>737052741Why didn’t anyone stop him?
>>737051573no it doesn't
>>737044539Its 30 dollars anon, either buy it or dont. You are a grown ass man anon.
>>737052741Watched it for the first time in years recently, fantastic movie. Pretty dark for a kids film, if it even qualifies as one these days.
>>737053181Isn't the tone just due to it being Chinatown but with some cartoon characters added?
>>737050840Boomer shooters are mazes with fast kind of dumb gameplay, but they are not metroidvanias. A lot of boomers shooters are kind of dogshit to be honest. And they get passed off as great games because the levels are "complex". Its like the fps version if that picture where indie games are just super hard platformers with no rhyme or reason.
>>737053512For a kids film there's smoking, drinking, titties and murder. Glad I saw it as a boy.
>>737044634Fuck youI'm just hoping on the hate wagon
>>737054476Three of those things were pretty common for PG films until the 2000s
>>737044634adding another you to this kino bait
More millennial dialogue. Imagine paying $30 for this. Isn't the whole point of noire stories having the protagonist narrate the world around them? You could have had him say more than just "Hm, I guess I did a thing!" This isn't a random example, by the way, it's from the first hour of gameplay.
>>737052037talking is not a job
>>737050840holy fucking larp. boomer shooters are not metroid clones. There is no backtracking / interconnecting levels that you can explore at any given time. Most of them you progress linearly through levels one my one. Yes, those levels tend to be open and full of things to explore and collect, but you still progress normally from the beginning of the level to the end of the level.Now there are boomer shooters that leaned more into this metroidvania level structure, like Hexen Powerslave and Strife, but those were the exception, not the rule.
>>737052561Yuck
The trailers make it look incredibly boring. Not a good art style for a Doom clone.
>>737050720>You have your entire inventory of guns available on you at any given time.>Ammunition is typically gained from items scattered around the map rather than enemies, and if enemies do give you ammo it's usually in small amounts unlike modern FPS games where you replace the entire gun and gain multiple magazines per kill.>There are typically no reload animations at all, you just fire for as many shots as you have on hand.>Health is gained from item pickups as are armor shards of some kind instead of raspberry jam healing.>Combat encounters tend to revolve around ambushes for either picking up items or>There's almost never a story outside of the intro blurb and you're just dropped into the map.>Maps are almost always mazelike, the only exception I can think of is Forgive Me Father and even that's definitely one due to everything else.>Maps require you to obtain some sort of keys to unlock locked doors to progress.>Maps have secrets you unlock either by humping walls and using the walls, pressing a button then sprinting somewhere, or taking damage in some sort of liquid to reach it.>Sometimes your view is locked to one plane and the game auto-aims shots like Doom or Wolfenstein.>Sometimes there's a focus on speed in clearing a stage, sometimes not. Dread Templar is an example of a game that sort of encourages it.It's a pretty clarified genre and easy to understand what makes a game a "Boomer shooter". Occasionally there's edge cases like Resistance 1 where it looks and plays more like a traditional FPS than one and only really becomes one in NG+ due to half the guns being locked behind it, but that's few and far between.
