Can't wait to play this. 
It looks good if it's really running at 4k60. Definitely impressive.
Actual fidelity wise, come on, it's not close to something like Ratchet or Demon's Souls. And nor should it, those games are 30fps and huge AAA projects.

I like that they have gone the no UI route. Makes it more immersive. That organ thing he carries shows all of your ammo and heals. The reload station for it is pretty cool too. lots of things moving and wiggling in the environment including your weapon.

I've seen everything you've seen. The environments in those games especially Demons Souls do not look better than this and certainly not more detailed.

It does look good to be fair. I still don't think it's up there with those games (especially Ratchet, which is just ridiculous fidelity in way bigger environments than in this game) but like I said, if it's really 4k60 then it's very impressive.

That link pretty much confirms what i thought. They struggled to make this game early on. Money and showing it too early was a huge issue for them. Despite that, showing it early was the only way they could get funds.
Scorn - Scorn Xbox Series X Trailer - Steam News
Hello everyone, In case you missed Inside Xbox today, here is a brand new Scorn Xbox Series X trailer. We decided to make this update in the form of a Q&A hoping to answer most of your burning questions. You will certainly have more questions than we managed to cover here, so feel free to post...store.steampowered.com
Why Microsoft and why Xbox Series X exclusivity?
The authenticity of the game and being able to develop it as we conceptualized it is the highest priority. Before deciding to partner with Microsoft we made sure that they will not have any influence over the game's concept and development process. They were more than cooperative in that regard. The only thing they were interested in was exclusivity rights. Once all that was agreed upon it was a no brainer decision when you look at all the benefits Scorn will get from this partnership, from additional resources to much bigger exposure(marketing). It will certainly help us make Scorn a better, polished game in the end.
Anyway im seeing replies in this thread that contradict each other. Some people think it lost the vibe it had early on. And some think its better now then before, some people think it lacks gameplay, some people think its shit, some people are interested, some think it looks generic, some think visually its more impressive then other next gen games.
Lets be clear. This game is something that nobody really has the full picture of what its about. Does it have a story, what is the goal, what hasn't been shown? So almost everyone in this thread is jumping to conclusions
I think getting to try this out via gamepass and not having to pay full price makes this much more interesting. Keeping in mind its an indie title and not meant to compete with halo of doom or other fast paced fps games. For all we know its more of a puzzle or dungeon game then it is first person shooter.

I understand what it is. A methodical shooter that's also a metroidvania with backtracking. People thinking/expecting Doom ,Wolfenstein. and Halo when they should be thinking RE7 and most likely RE8 or taking it way back with System Shock. We already got Doom, I don't need this game to play like it too. They seem the care a lot about immersion. No UI and no reticle unless you have the weapon at the ready. You can check your ammo count, but you have to crack it open(like a lobster) and look for yourself. I really like the look of the "shotgun" attachment.

Hear that, guys? You should be happy they've given you any gameplay footage at all for their console releasing in a few weeks.

I wouldn't play this even if it was free. DO SOMETHING !!! don't just look around.
what's the point of the gun if you're not gonna use it.
next time Xbox fans say Sony makes only walking simulators I'll just say Scorn.
what a waste of good looking atmosphere

Looking forward to seeing more of this game. I'm a fan of the Giger art.
Hope the camera isn't forced to turn that slowly, even playing with a controller it would get annoying waiting to change direction like this. With a mouse and keyboard just forget it.
I think they were just trying to really show off the detail and work they've put into the art.

So, i guess slice of gameplay with no context now represents complete gameplay experience.

The game looks good. Its a bit plodding. I expected a horror shooter but its actually more like a survival horror puzzle adventure game.

Looks good art wise but repetitive, it almost feels like it's randomly generated.
It's an indie game with no production values but I hope it turns out good, a lot of times Passion and hard work can make something great.

Looks amazing.
My post was partly in regards to the long development, for an indie team.
Whether the theme holds up, for what I assume is a full game, we will have to see

This is a good example of a genuine benefit of Gamepass. Compare this (bare with me here) to Death Stranding. Walking simulator, check. Weird atmospheric shit going on, check. Very nice graphically, check. While the themes and art styles are obviously miles apart, they've got these things in common. But one is made by Kojimbo, the other is made by...? One is a big Playstation exclusive with fucktonnes of marketing, the other is effectively a slick indy. The point I'm trying to make is that really weird shit like this doesn't see the light of day without something like Gamepass. It removes the majority of the financial risk for the dev and it adds a bit of spice and variety for Xbox to add to their catalogue. Do I or anyone else expect this to have the same success critically or financially as Death Stranding? Of course not, but again, that's not my point nor is it for me to worry about. Let MS crunch the numbers; if I get more breadth to the variety of games I can play, and I get an opportunity to try something this strange whereas I'd otherwise be hesitant to slap down $60+ to get the chance then that's only a good thing.
Personal opinion re: the game itself, art style is cool and it drips atmosphere. Does the gameplay look a bit slow? Yeah, but then again so did Godfall and I'm giving that one the benefit of the doubt too. The grenade launcher thing looked pretty sweet and I'm interested to see what more enemy variety there is.

lol @ I don't get what's it's about comments. How about that's maybe the whole point for you to discover, instead of having it all laid out for you. It's not COD. It's not Doom either and that's it's exactly why it looks different and interesting, if you're into bunny hopping and rocket jumps you can find plenty of those elsewhere.

had the feeling the framerate could not keep up with the camera turning. And those camera movenment where very slow and dull. Better scale that shit back to 1440p and get a stable 30. nice lookting wordlt though but i reckon it will get boring real fast. gamepass for ya

Looks dull as shit not to mention graphically average. Lighting is especially average with NPCs not casting any kind of shadows.

I really want to know how man of those "looks average/like shit" guys acutally watched this on a decent 4k tv instead of some 300 bucks trash tv or 60 bucks 1080 monitor. Also this is compressed Youtube material.

I watched on a 1080p monitor, cost me over 200 (back in 2013 or maybe 2011 even?) but the art is gorgeous for it, love me some Giger stuff, I do agree with others that I hope the art features some variety, though, like how in Alien only certain segments of the Nostromo looked scary.
