Agony - Debut Gameplay (First person horror in hell, UE4, PS4/XBO/PC)

I will never play a crouching simulator where you hide from "the monster" again. Looked really uninteresting and boring. I hope the entire game isn't another boring trench after trench with the occasional boob-demons coming to check up on noises.
 
Again with the clickers...

It looks ok, but the setting is pretty silly. How can you have any tension when you basically can't lose? Oh shit that monster is totally going to ... send me to hell? Kind of look at me awkwardly? Shrug its shoulders and run off since everything is a waste of time? Get eaten by me because I've been in hell so long that I know how to eat them easily?
 
Okay. So you established a moody and gross environment.

Now show us something interesting to do in it. This just looked like a tech demo while demoing only the colors orange and red.

Pretty much. I'm interested in the game but if it's all like the trailer, naw.
 
Never been a fan of the "Whoa man check out all these skulls. It's like a metal album but you're playing it" look of games.

I wish hell didn't always have to look so cliche.

Painkiller locations were refreshing.
 
New trailer looks trippy. I like trippy. I just hope that they manage to find some subtleness in all that in-your-face hellish imagery. I think Silent Hill makes for a very effective "hell" for example with all the subtleness. I really appreciate the fucked up visuals but I hope that thematically they'll do something thought provoking. And those are some big ass titties.
 
Well this looks amazing, some of yall got garbage attention spans if you think a few minutes of proper world building/atmosphere before gameplay is boring. That art style is positively decadent. Between this and Scorn we're in for some potentially great Giger/Beksinski-inspired fare. There was another game too in a similar style that's in development but can't remember the title, more of a straight up shooter iirc.
 
It would look cooler with more color. Looks like UE4 games will have the same issues as UE3 games. Small color palate.
 
They gotta work on those jiggle physics on the demon. One of her breasts literally flips the fuck out when she's walking. Nothing saps the fear out of a monster like a (seemingly) constant graphical glitch.

Yea I'd rather have them funbags be rigid than flip flop in a hilarious manner.
 
I like the look of this. I'd play a demo. I don't think it'd scare me though. Hell setting usually isn't very scary because it's so unrealistic in general.

Creepy/spiders and death in familiar locations is worse.

I agree. I like the look, but the setting is so unrealistic it doesn't make it scary.
 
The gameplay looks good but that trailer was terrible. Will reserve judgment until I've seen more.
 
More things should go with the dark as fuck (as in very little light and lots of dark shadows) version of hell. Definitely a lot creepier than the brightly lit, fiery hellscape.
