Here is the game I'm working on, comming out soon for the xbox360/Ps3/pc... It's the where most of my time goes and the main reason I can't pump as much time into PS as I want. This is a video from G4tv.com. They will have it on the air monday, but for now you can check out a web exclusive.
G4Tv.com Exclusive web video:

Monday they should show some new footage and creatures...
Tell me what you like and/or dislike. I'll be able to pass this on to our producers and you MAY make a differance :P...
Looks great man, only thing I don't like about it by watching the videos is that everything is really fast, the player movements, animations, gun fire, everything seems really fast, I think by slowing it down slightly would make the game way more polished and fun to play.
What I mean, is that, that boss at the middle of the video his animations were really fast and looked off, I think by slowing his animations down would benifiit it alot.
Another one, when the player is running around the map and running up the stairs after seeing the guy get ripped apart, its way to fast, almost like UT from watching the videos, if you slowed the player speed down just a bit it would look alot more fluid and make the game more enjoyable, I think.
But other than that, the game looks amazing, gonna check it out when its released.
Looks really cool
So is this your full time job?
Will you be able to use your rifle/whatever gun to butt with it? Kind of like a punch if you will. That would be a great way to horde off those jumping wolves.
Minotaur doesn't really look like a minotaur. The basic outline is correct, but he looks like a troll. I like when he got on all fours and charged, thats a great idea that no other game really adds with the minotaur. He should be a boss of some kind. He was, after all, the creature in the middle of the labyrinth. 2 would probably be a bitch to play with.
Tigaer is right, everything seems really fast-paced. I understand the idea f keeping things moving....but not in x2 speed.
I definitely want to see more. This game looks pretty awesome. Is he collecting their souls with his hand? What's his background? This game better have the sickest bosses for being called "Legendary".
the monsters looks a lil' bit like those, which are your enemies in ar cry :) but looks like an awesome game, although i dont like shooters on consoles...

You can't hit with your rifle or any other gun, but there is a melee weapon (the axe) and you have a special power called an animus pulse that you can see in the video. It will knock down any enemies in a small radius around the player.
The minotuar is a mini-boss more or less.
Also, how can you say the minotaur doesn't really look like a mintaur? It's a mythological creature that doesn't exist, it's looks are all in the eye of the beholder. :P
As being fast-paced.. well its an action game -.-

yes
1. way too fast. That kind of pace is perhaps good for mp but not for sp.
2. muzzle flash is terrible
I agree. Look at painting of minotaurs and all that noise and they certainly don't look like that. It looked like a minotuars body with troll skin on it. The texture just didn't seem right and the upper body looked to heavy.
The game looks nice and I don't think its fast paced at all as how slow would it be if it happened in real life? The speed looks fairly realistic. My one comment is the AI of those wolves looked a bit repetitive, it was basically, run away throw somthing at you while you shoot it, charge at you and you dodge it and then the same again until is beserks you. The other elements though look incredible, especially the way that wolf broke through the windows.
Are there going to be any creepy aspects to the game like hiding from the animals or is it basically the same old "i'm controlled by a real person and therefore am invincible" kind of attitude from the player?
So zed, your game is getting released this spring but please tell the character artists that they have to come up with a new minotaur texture fast. :P
I'm being sarcastic
my god that game looks like shit. especially the shitty big ben model, my god thats so shitty fuck shit
Damn, looks great dude.
Hehe, as long as the game hasn't gone gold yet then I doubt its exactly hard to change the tint of a texture to red ;)

I hate you.
The minatoar is fine... like I said, it's our artistic vision of the creature. I've heard people saying they love it more then they saying it didn't look like a 'real' minatoar... which is impossible since they don't exist.

1. No... i don't see how people are saying it's too fast. It's not Rainbow Six with monster. It's no more faster then Halo... :/
2. I disagree

Once again, last time I checked Minotaur's were fake... A minatour is just a man bull, which this one fits the description very well. If you want I can make every creature look exactly like you want them too... of course i'll probably piss off all the other people that have already said they love the look of the creatures... :P
It depends on which wolf your fighting. The weaker ones attack in packs by hit and run tactis, as well as throwing things at you. While the alpha wolf tries to either outsmart by getting behind you or attacking you head on with all it's might.
Both Wolfs take damage in real-time and unless you blow off their head once they collapse, you can see the wounds you inflict heal and the wolf will spring back up and attack once again.
I have no idea what that quoate was suppose to mean...
Anyway, as far as being creepy, there is more action then suspense, but there are a good amount of suspensful 'horror' moments you can experience.
Looks nice. I remember you giving us some screens a while back. Looks like a nice game dude! Maybe not one that someone could stick to playing for a long period of time, but it looks like it would give a pretty solid playthrough atleast. Depending on replayability/unlockables/etc...
Zedblade, especially wolves are too fast. It gives you the feel that you need to be concentrated all the time instead of taking pure fun out of game but its a good game anyway.
BTW what about promotion ? Its the first time I hear about this game.
So this is a >>game<<, and not a mod, right?
Yes.
Games CAN be mods, but mods are ALWAYS Games.
Anyone else think the gun texture and animations are lacking quality compared to the rest of the game?
I've seen the movie now at Uni (but dont have audio...). I don't like the muzzle-flash, but the rest looks nice. Like the scratches on the screen. Might be a lot of shooting while running backwards tho.
I'll definitely try the demo and if it's good, I'll buy it for Zed :D
Is there anything in the video that you personally worked on Zed?
Don't know about the video but I know zed did textures on some stuff, right?

That particular level has been in the works long before I got here. There really isn't anything in that video that I was directly responsible for.
When you play games which have your texture in does it make you get a happy feeling inside knowing that YOU made that and thousands of people are playing the game and seeing it? Surely that would be one of the best things about stuff like that (excluding the money ofc)
Right I disagree with everyone on it being too fast the speed is great :P.
But what I will mention though, I really think the textures, models, and smoothness of the game in general need touching up a notch, at the moment if I were to honestly sum up the visual power it looks like the mid-point between PS2 and Xbox 360, the textures and visual filters aren't very immersive and that certainly needs some work, im sure the cinematics cam angles could be vastly improved too, if the scene with the 2 mean had the camera facing them both, if they wer talking facing the camera side by side, then you heard the sound and it spun around to reveal the minatoar (Which I agree needs a different artistic concept, I know that's the way the team perceives it but it's not too impressive) it would have alot more dramatic effect.
The game in general though looks great, the A.I looks like it's on too much of a set routine at the moment, the textures, models, and general visuals area needs some work I think, but it's a good concept and I'd like to see some of the things I highlighted improved. Also I didn't mention this but the animations aren't very fluent, they are kind of robotic :P.
Legendary looks great! I really appreciate the Level Design in all what I saw, finally a lot of work behind that.
The speed is perfect and the only 2 things I can't fully appreciate are:
1. Weapon dynamic
(the impact of the bullet when you hit a beast... the blood is there but soemthing is missing... I don't feel it)
2. ... how the grenade is thrown
(my opinion, it feels like an old Halo grenade).
Is the gameplay of this game inspired in some way from Shadowrun?
One thing I forgot to mention, the voice acting in the vid is pretty bad imo. Hopefully it's got some more clever writing in other parts of the game, especially because this game is based around a big story.

You are always pleased to do a better job papa ^^ 8)

The only people that have been done are the major characters. The generic dialog going on during a fight is just people like me and other devs being recorded during lunch :P
I have no controll over sound. The voic actors for the main characters get the job done though.
How do they say Minotuar?
Whenever I've heard or said it its always pronounced My-No-Tore whereas in this game they say Min-oh-tore.
I'll agree tho, they don't sound as scared or anxious as they should be.
QuoteI have no controll over sound.
Don't get the impression we're saying your responsible for these tiny faults people are picking out on. Every game has bug and you'd have to be seriously bad if you were responsible for all of them. I think the crits are just directed at the certain departments of the game devs, not just you ;D
Any positive comments about this game? ::)
I think that the animation, textures, gun models, and level design are very well done. If I was supposed to be looking for a minotaur I'd be shittin my pants, guess they are just brave. :D

It's Min-oh-tore. You're saying it wrong :P (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Minotaur)

This is also what I think ^^ :D
lol...discussion is still around the Minotaur. The only reason I don't like that there are several minotaur is because....well....thats just it. There was only one stuck in the middle of a labyrinth. He looks fat to me in the video. I would expect him to be bigger both in size and stature.
I think he would be a little more frightening if he was a bit bigger and if he keeps his speed/power. Of course, that's probably out of the question.
i think this looks really good and i like the idea so i will probably get it

nice but why do you present alpha photage ? And whats with the run of the woman in white ?

Why wouldn't we? W can't wait until th game is finished, because then we would release it and no one would know what it is. Releasing screens and video in alpha state allows awareness to grow. Simple...
It's the same reason we have been slowly showing you things here. If we just stayed silent until the Mod was finished, I doubt we would have much people staying n the forums or anywhere near the amount of widespread knowledge of the project.
As for the run, it's alpha... :P
