13 minutes of exclusive XsX Scorn gameplay (4K)

Environments look great, although very static, creating a dense atmosphere. I've seen a couple of previous gameplay demos, and I still don't understand what this is about. Not sure there is a proper game to be found there. Seems like the game was developed around the visual design first, and gameplay is more like an afterthought.

Careful Neo Member, you don't want to be called a Sony fanboy from the start just because you have your own opinion.

Figured this would get hated on here given its not coming to a PlayStation. It looks really great. The sound work is fucking gross in a good way with the crunching and whatnot.

Maybe if it was third person with a sad dad, then it would goty. 🤔 needs more cutscenes too, millions of dollars worth so I am constantly reminded that the devs would rather be making a movie than a game. I need to cry like it's 1997 to video game characters without the hundreds of hours of fun gameplay. Please and thanks.
Ignoring the gigantic victim complex, what do you think of the gameplay..?

I’ve been following this game for the past couple of years. I love the creepy aesthetic look and environment of the game but damn it if that gameplay isn’t worrying. One thing I cannot stand is a slow moving shooter especially when turning around. Hopefully they hear all the complaints and we get something closer to Dead Space!
At least let me pump up the fluidity of movements to match Dead Space, that’s not asking much is it?!

I...just can't get excited about this game. Just not my thing I guess. The creepy, slow feel. The litany of sphincters and sinew. no, just not for me. I hope it does well because it looks like it'll hit a very niche audience.

This isn't first party so I assume no day 1 release on gamepass?

The game started development in 2014 and full production in 2015, yikes.
The theme is fine, monsters not so much. I'm not certain players will enjoy playing this for 10-15 hours, or maybe the game is short?
TBH I'm curious about WTH is going on, however, the description of the game is sort of that the player is just "being thrown into the world". I'm not sure there will ever be must explanation :messenger_grinning_sweat:

It's the first 13 minutes of the game. As someone pointed out, not a lot happens in the first 13 mins of RE7 either.

The start of RE7 has you exploring, finding the house, etc. Stuff does happen, even if there's not a lot of action. It's a good introduction.

This was a guy walking around extremely samey looking environments (I seriously couldn't tell when he was going somewhere new and when he was backtracking) opening and closing a few gates and shooting a few slow moving worm things.

We have no context to any of that, yet.

I'd argue walking to the house, fumbling around with shit in the fridge etc is equally boring. No jump scares, no shooting, just walking and looking at stuff.

But then it's nothing really like those first 13 minutes, I'm sure Scorn will have more to it as well.

During the XSX target reveal trailer, somebody linked older gameplay from Scorn and I got a better idea of the type of gameplay it had. This isn't surprising. Visuals are great, though.

That stuff in RE7 tells a story through the environment and the things you can find if you want to look around. This told me nothing except that there are a lot of fleshy and bony things everywhere.

That doesn't mean it wasn't boring, nor that it's a fair representation on the rest of the game - which is more my point.

Sure, but this is what they chose to demo. I don't know, maybe it's just that everything in this game seems so abstract and unrelatable.

What was the point of this?

Why not put out a video with the devs talking about the game, what they are going for and whats going on?

This was pointless.

Also, the massive victim complex running in this thread is hilarious....

Super tight linear repeating corridors, the gameplay??? I don't even know what the gameplay really is here. Super narrow FOV. This is another turd that we'd never even know the name of if it didn't come out on launch.

This would have been a great 360/PS3 game.

Surprised by the negativity. This is almost certainly an early area, focused on getting the player acquainted with how things work. I think we can expect a bit more action later in the game, though this pretty obviously isn't intended to be Doom. It's more like survival horror.

I'm noticing enemies react to noise (at one point the player deliberately shoots into the air to alert a creature), so I wonder if there could be some stealth involved around tougher foes.

Huh?

People have been asking to see next gen exclusive games playing on Xbox Series X, so here it is.

The goal posts being moved in here is hardly surprising, but still really sad

I don't care what people have been saying.

I don't care what stupid goalposts you and your little console war buddies like to play with.....

This was pointless. It showed off nothing. Nothing about the game and nothing about the unique qualities of the XSX

Completely pointless.

Really interested to see what the vram requirements are for this on PC. Hopefully my 6gb in my 980ti is enough for 1080p.

It showed off 13 minutes of the game, quite literally.

The unique qualities of the XsX are that you can't play this game on any other console but it and Series S.

I'm not sure what exactly you expected from a gameplay trailer.

What?

Again, what?

Its a 13 minute trailer of nothing.

NOTHING.

The unique quality is that you can't play it on any other console?

Are you out of your mind?

What would you rather have instead?. I mean people have been asking for some gameplay, and here is some gameplay. I'm sure there will be a lot more gameplay vids coming up.

This looks really interesting but might be a bit slow for me. Seeing a lot of framerate drops too but guess they can iron out that stuff for launch. Il def try it as its coming to gamepass

You're very aggressive, it's weird.

Oh and by the way, here's you asking for next gen gameplay from XsX, one of your many console warrior concern trolling posts

Wait a minute.... there's STILL no XSX gameplay?

Oops.

Nothing? It showed a number of gameplay elements. Yea we dont know what the fuck is going on or why this dude is there etc but we’ll learn this in time.

This is supposedly right at the start of the game, i'm sure thing will get more hectic the further you get.
The devs have really gone for atmosphere with this game (been followingf this game for years), and they have nailed that imo.

Best looking next gen game yet imo, the detail is out of this world (literally lol).
My PC is ready.

Hope your joking since it doesn't look anything as the in-engine trailer and not much better then previous gameplay trailers.

Your idea for next-gen graphics is not really high then.

This is my exact sentiment.

It's a nothingburger.

What are the mechanics?

If there are stealth elements based on sound, show us a bit more rather than just the very subtle nod to it.

I guess I feel this way having followed the game for 4 years or so, and just...not feeling like I learned anything.

Er it looks amazing. What looks better?, what has as much texture detail?, what has higher poly counts in its environments?.
This game was designed for high end PC's,and it shows.

I already wrote what I would rather see instead.

I'm not writing it out again.

I feel like a director's commentary on the video would have helped here.

I like the slower pace, and love that art style
