Why was control the only AAA game to try and tackle an scp style universe?It's very well known, It's such an easy to copy aesthetic and since it's a public project you wouldn't even get that much flack for copying it wholesale.
>>695213521There's this new extraction shooter which takes a lot of inspiration from SCP. It has potential, but it's far from finished.
>SCP aestheticSo, in your mind, the MJ12 labs in Deus Ex (2000) are "SCP aesthetics"?SCP didn't invent Area 51 and all the other real-life secret government research and containment facilities...
>>695213521>Why was control the only AAA game to try and tackle an scp style universe?Because SCP peaked when it was a collection of separate self-contained stories based around anomalous objects and not a frankenstein of lore circlejerk and pointless crossovers.To copy that you'd have to either individually buy story rights from a multitude of authors or come up with your own, neither of which AAA game executives would ever be comfortable doing.
>>695213521Control didn't even really do it right because it was too focused on mundane objects being wild and Alan Wake bullshit
>>695213521Fear was so close to being this it's fucking criminal.>Organization specifically designed to tackle all kinds of weird, anomalous phenomenon and factions >Oh hey let's just make every game about clone soldiers and ghost family drama.
>>695213920What the OP said is not "why is there no SCP game" but why Control is the only one with a setting inspired by SCP. There is a lot of potential for games that take place in a mysterious military organization focused on capturing, studying and / or neutralizing paranormal entities, items and phenomenons around the world in a modern time.
>>695214234Ghost rape is serious business and deserves proper screen time to tackle
>>695214247>why Control is the only one with a setting inspired by SCPIt's not. "Inspiration" means there was some kind of creative process involved while Control was but a shallow copy of a husk of what SCP was in its prime. Beyond the aesthetic it's really just the same run and gun AAA slop, same as everything Remedy makes nowadays.>t. dropped the game after 10 hours and never looked back
>>695214932Ah. This is bait.
>play scp over a decade ago>its a peanut guy you stare at>look at scp now>le tactic00l soldiers with d33p lore and factions :)wtf
>>695213521Coming up with unique anomalies just for background fodder is tough. And you'd need a lot of background fodder to justify it being an SCP like universe.
>>695215039The people in charge of SCP played Deus Ex and decided that they also wanted their secret government agency to be in a behind-the-scenes feud with other government agencies.
>>695215039It's like that backrooms thing where it gets overwritten and stretched so thin nobody knows what the fuck it's about anymore. Lots and lots of dead weight.
>>695213521Where my GOC niggas at?
>>695215539I sure do love causing more problems than I solve!
Chaos insurgency is such a stupid cringe worthy name.
>>695216219They are cringe in-lore anyways, so it fits.
>>695216219On brand
Are there atleast a few notable writers who are aware how shit SCP became and regret not gatekeeping it?>>695215691I hate how they're the default "destroy destroy" organization because of that chair situation. They are in par with the Foundation except more focus with incorporating anomalies with their organization. They rarely destroy random anomalies for no good reason.
>>695213987SCP didn't even do it right because it focused too much on things that could be fit in a box. Cringe testimonials and villain monologues from things that are supposed to be spooky. It doesn't work. It always goes too far. The spook is in the mystery. The minute you have your supposed spook prattle off a paragraph is when eyes roll.
>>695213521SCP fags other than the original contributors should be dumped in a hole and set on fire.

In a way, Abiotic Factor can kinda fit the SCP style, with its anomalous subjects and rival military group.
>>695213521Trepang 2 was pretty neat
>>695213521because AAAs don't take risksand Control is more like a AA than a AAA
>>695224323>Bro, Stalker 2 just released yesterday,yeah, and it sucks.
>>695219131one thing that has me interested with abiotic is if I'm remembering right they got an alien response to the voyager disk
>>695224323Good joke
>>695222771And A's are based off budget. I don't think Control was $XXX million.
