DO WANT!

 

[UrbanRats]

Arh, you meant the methods of inducing horror. Yeah, I can see that it might invite speculation about how they are going to scare the player (if this is indeed a horror game), but we'll see.

In my opinion, the doll look is sufficiently creepy, mostly in terms of uncanny valley effect. I wonder how they'll animate their body movement and if and how they are going to speak.

The monster face in the mirror looks shopped in at the last second, lol.

I'm a bit worried because their means of scaring you in Shattered Memories were abysmal (poltergeist.. ugh).

Also this: "Character Action Platformer" - 2013

That's SO a Prince of Persia

 

[Melchiah]

Ooh, a horror game with mannequins! I'm in!

 

[Satch]

Looks so scary that I won't be playing it.

 

[DatDude]

Really want this. Hopefully won't be just Wii U, and will be given love to all consoles.

 

[Kouichi]

man up Garrett lol

I'll just hide in the shadows like always

 

[Deleted member 80556]

My horror masochism sense is tingling for this game. If there's one thing that beats child-related horror stuff, is fucking dolls. That shit gives me nightmares.

I'll just hide in the shadows like always

But the demons are in the shadows...

"Unannounced horror game(?) from Climax Studios" -> "Climax Studios working on new Prince of Persia...?"
I don't recall prince of persia having any horror elements but I guess you have to spice it up somehow lol.

They are working on 2 games...

1 horror game
1 platform adventure game

i have a feeling the horror game is for this gen, and the platform adventure game is for next. horror games never sell well, and might find an audience at the end of the console cycle...while keeping a reasonable low budget if need be.

 

[plagiarize]

Shattered Memories was really rough at its weakest moments, but there were a lot of good ideas at play (especially for the Silent Hill franchise), they had a strong vision, and the story remains one of my favourite in gaming.

In other words, I'm okay with them taking horror out for another spin.

Yeah. I agree very much so. I haven't finished Bioshock Infinite yet, but Shattered Memories is my favourite story of the Wii/360/PS3 gen.

edit: Oh, except for Alice Madness returns.

This studio is literally a 15 minute train ride from where I live, in a really nice location too.

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

I wouldn't mind some horror and the pics have me interested enough to pay attention.

 

[Elfteiroh]

... If they do release a game like this, this will be a day one buy for me. Even if I don't own the console. I won't let that stop me! O_O

 

[mantidor]

Loved Shattered Memories so they got my interest, would love to see this on WiiU just to see what they come up with using the gamepad, SM had a pretty nice implementation of the wii remote.

 

[gabbo]

The first pic reminds me of Robin Williams in the Bicentennial Man.

I thought the same thing.

Eurogamer contacted Climax:

Some have suggested this is a new Silent Hill game, given Climax has form with the series: it created Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for Wii, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2 in 2009 after Silent Hill: Origins for PSP and PS2 in 2007.

But Eurogamer understands this new game is not a new Silent Hill. All Gardner would say on the subject: "The other title is a Climax game that is in early development."

"developing on PS4, WiiU and other new consoles that we just can't talk about yet.

Eurogamer contacted Climax:

Early Development ?!, damn that is a bummer.


I am excited about those screens, they look so creepy, a new interesting setting for a console survival horror, we need those.

Eurogamer contacted Climax:

What about Prince of Persia?

Amazing lighting.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Now that looks cool!

 

[Gbraga]

I hate dolls.

 

[Samir Sedlar]

So I read the article and here is something I don't understand

Alongside the Prince of Persia prototype on Climax's website were screenshots of a mystery new game, also due out in 2013.

Can a game in early development makes it this year ?!

Depends on the scope of the project and size of the team, as well as a well-developed creative vision. It definitely can be, but it also could be delayed.

Take the train there, and ask for an update. Tell them GAF sent you.

 

[Melchiah]

I hate dolls.

Dolls are fine.

From Stuart Gordon's movie, Dolls (1987).

 

[Traumnovelle]

Bit of a necrobump, but I really hope this is still in development. Does anyone have details?

Was hoping for new info you silly goose. Shoot em a message on fb or twitter and find out.

Well, Just look at Climax and what happened to these two projects in the OP:

Prince of Persia got turned into AC Chronicles and if you want to know what happened to this horror project, look no further than what the publisher, Konami, is doing to their entire game development side of things.

Ie it's dead, jim

 

[Traumnovelle]

I really hope the horror game wasn't with Konami. The uncited wiki entry mentioning a 2013 release puts me in doubt that this was that project. The Prince of Persia game definitely did turn into AC: Chronicles.

It's about a fifteen minute walk from where I live :waves:

 

[PSqueak]

I got confused about the company's name and then i saw the doll and thought someone was making an Illbleed reboot.

I'd totally play an Illbleed reboot, the concept was solid (ie, environment being your #1 enemy, shock death, etc) but the execution was poor.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Sorry, they are an AC Chronicles factory now...please understand

 

[Discomurf]

I'm all over this.Shattered Memories is one of my favorites from last gen.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Freaky dolls...could be good.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Freaky dolls...could be good.

But the thread is 2 years old. It's not happening.
