Horror Game Leak - Alpha build screen shots and art. Maybe Sony game (not Bend)?

I love how I am almost the same way clueless about what bend's gonna show after this leak.

I don't want leaks. I want to be shocked at E3. Stop the leaks leakers.

Why does brown equal horror? Is everything Giger does brown? I only know of Alien which I haven't seen in ages was that brown?

Okay, so shinobi has said in the other thread that Bend's game is neither a first-person, nor a VR game. So it's either just a coincidence that the thing in the concept art looks like Morpheus and this isn't a Morpheus-game (which means it could be from pretty much anyone) or it's a Morpheus game but not from Sony Bend which would mean it's probably either from one of Sony's other first-party studios or an indie game.

EDIT: Does anyone know what their London studio is working on? They'd be the obvious choice for a Morpheus game IMO.

We at Rely on Horror received these images from a source that did not provide anything credible at all, so we did NOT run with a story claiming that it's Sony Bend's project.

I told the source several times we wouldn't run the story unless they have verifiable proof. They didn't say anything (literally nothing, just more image links), even after I explained that I'd keep their anonymity.

If Gamepur got the images from here, then I'm not sure who their source is claiming it's definitely Bend's game, as we received these directly via email and couldn't get a word out of the source we had.

Either that or it's an oculus game and someone's added the headset to troll us all.
 
nowhere near enough proof that it's Bend's game at this point.

though whatever it is, i'm already in. VR or not, totally digging the art style. i'm a sucker for dark sci-fi.

Giger's work and artwork inspired by Giger is designed to evoke a feeling of dread and isolation through humanity's innate fear of organic holes it seems.

Look up Trypophobia

"Holes...holes everywhere."

Looks like a game set in Alien universe, possibly the Xenomorph/Engineer planet. No other way this makes sense, unless it's a brand new IP inspired by HR Giger's writings.

Giger has been creating art for a few years more than the word 'trypophobia' has been around.

And no, his artwork isn't designed to evoke a feeling of dread by featuring organic holes, unless you actually meant to say 'vagina'.
 
I think the concept art of a character wearing what appears Project Morpheus would be pretty good evidence that this has something to do with Sony.

I had not really thought of that so thank you for that information. If it is a Sony title, then I do not think it is a Bend game. Shinobi seems to think the Bend game is a shooter, so his information which has been accurate would counter the Bend idea.

There is a Sony company making an open world game different from anything they have done before and that company is Guerrilla Games.

Sounds to me like Gamepur was just speculating, even if that's not how it was written.

Just because the word hasn't been around for long, doesn't mean the actual phobia/unease/disgust concerning such things hasn't been around for long. That's like saying atoms didn't exist before someone named them atoms.
