Did they tell you about the Pentagon's god experiments while you were with them?

and that is why i thought it was fake...looks so out of place with everything else we have seen. Why would they make a drawing of it?

Doom's visuals were inspired by Giger:

I completely forgot to look for this at E3. hopefully there will be some new info soon, the art style looks really interesting.
not saying it didnt, it inspired many things. but which looks more directly related to this?
this
or this?
might as well credit/mention the direct obvious inspiration is all.

Not everyone knows who H.R. Giger is but most people here have played Doom (I would hope!). But yes you're very well cultured and knowledgeable if that's what you want to hear.

I don't do horror survival games. I am a gigantic pussy. But with an art style like this, I would gladly let it be the first. Any leads on figuring out who did this/what it is?

not what I am saying, They dont need to know who Giger is. Just Alien would suffice. i'm sure more people saw an Alien movie or played an Alien game than played Doom. I am just thinking people would be much more familiar with that franchise(Giger's most famous art) than Doom, wouldnt you? Also Doom looks to only barely be inspired by Giger. I just find that odd that several people intially credited it to Doom.

Perhaps but while I'm sure that a lot of people are familiar with the Alien series, they may not know who designed the alien and other visuals. Anyway we're on the gaming side so you probably shouldn't be surprised when people liken things to video games rather than Swiss artists or even movies.
That said, I agree with you. When I see this concept art I think Giger too, not Doom. I just like playing the Devil's advocate.
You should see some of the comments in the Alien: Isolation threads.
'Why is that guy's blood white?'
Ah, makes sense. Internet sarcasm always flies way above my head.

Well a VR horror game would be the quickest way to sell morpheus to the masses.
Especially if they get people playing it and streaming it. Since isn't that what basically pushed Amnesia to a lot of sales.

I know what the game is, got to talk to the leaker for a while over the last few weeks, will be posting about it here in a small bit.
Not overlooked, more like over-stated. Something I want to add with this; I am terrible with names, and this will always be true of me. I usually forget the names of most people, I knew the inspiration but I couldn't put my name on who it was and knew it wasn't them anyways as they passed along recently, and was more interested in figuring out the project than its inspirations.

This concept looks fucking awesome. Someone gets it; make the protagonist NOT a generic 30-something white male marine with a gun. Have a strange and mysterious backdrop to the game that is puzzling, weird, and unsettling all at the same time. I feel like we are returning to the 80s with some of this awesome imagery here.

I wish. But it doesn't look like it, different aesthetic. Still some sweet-ass art though.

Interesting thread.
Yeah, I agree.
The whole art design reminds me a lot of Tyranids and their weaponry from the Warhammer 40k universe. Which is great actually
i was thinking the same thing, ive always liked the gross ass weapons of the Tyranids
its most apparent with the Icon of Sin in Doom 2 i think.

I love what I'm seeing. If that ugly thing is the protagonist I'm interested.

Yes! I thought about bumping this thread just yesterday but didn't have any valid reason except dying to hear more about whatever this project is. Whatever it is will be bought on Day Embryo .
fair enough. And do go on. The game looks intresting.
Now it's going to be interessting ; ) Pls check PMs.
Isn't the guy in the final piece of concept art straight-up wearing a Project Morpheus headset?
Yoooooooooo!!!!!!!! Omg, he posted!
How so? I'm not asking for details but you know what I mean. Can you confirm the Last Guardian too?
I kid with the last one, don't hurt me Bish ;_;

Have a full article being written up, but will post some about it here first as you guys helped me figure this all out.
Firstly, the game's name is indeed Scorn, as some of you guys put together from the email title (which I missed, which I can't help but chuckle at as its one of the oldest tricks in the book).
It is being developed primarily for PC, PS4 is highly considered though.
The game is being made by a newly formed studio known as Ebb software. They currently have 7 full-time studio members on-board, and created a demo pitch for studios with a total of 12 people, and got assistance from a number of freelance artists they have connections with. However, after pitching their demo and idea to several studios, they got the same response every time ; The games too weird for mainstream appeal, its single-player focused, and lacks hooks for the best way to monetize the project.
To directly quote the email exchange;
They emailed the screenshots to me specifically because of my love for the genre, which I've shown through my posts here on GAF, my YouTube channel, and my work on Rely on Horror, apparently.
Game is being made with Unity 4, but they plan to move to Unity 5. They sent me this as sort of 'proof'.
They've apologized for some trickery, and have agree'd to answer any questions I have and agree'd to an interview. Because you guys helped me, I'll ask questions to them you guys have as well.
I may have been involuntarily involved in some viral marketing campaign, but I don't mind too much. The project does strike as interesting to me, and I hope they can find someone who will publish them. Apparently this went better than they expected, though.
The reason they aren't going with Kickstarter, and to quote;
There's a bit more to this, but typing out the full article as we speak.

Hmmm
Unless they have a full reveal ready to go shortly, that's pretty disappointing. No one likes being teased with no payoff.

Anything as far as gameplay systems? Action, or more survival-oriented, etc?
Well that's certainly an interesting way to go about things and build hype. Did it work for them overall or were they looking for even more of an interest in the game?
Is this dude definitely getting the boot, then?

He's toast. If this were a Sony project, it wouldn't have been leaked by the devs themselves.
