So if it's an actual game and not just demoscene wankery like Linger in Shadows was, it might be cool. I like artsy-fartsy games. But they have to actually be games.

Define "bomb".

You guys and your unrealistic sales expectations. This game doesn't need 20 million to be successful. Hell, it doesn't even need 5 million. Stop expecting Skyrim and COD numbers out of every game and maybe "bomb" wouldn't be your vernacular as much :/

Vlitra · Dec 3, 2015

Alright, they have my attention. Looks aesthetically cool, but will wait for some gameplay.

enigmatic_alex44 · Dec 3, 2015

Wow this is a disappointment.

Was really hoping it was God of War 4 to continue off of the cliffhanger ending from the 3rd game. All those rumors about GOW4 using Norse mythology had me excited. This just looks like a budget Journey.

labx · Dec 3, 2015

I'm in. Lets do this.

Zukuu · Dec 3, 2015

Doesn't seem interesting to me. More like a budget indie platformer... my "favorite" kind of games. Urgh.

4Tran · Dec 3, 2015

I don't know how many games like this I'll actually play, but I'm glad that Sony is willing to fund titles like this. On a personal level I appreciate games like this more than I would most AAA games.

Spent a little less than 50 cents to play that thing, and I still regret that purchase to this day lol.

Can't get excited for this without seeing gameplay.

Can't believe there are people here that still doesn't know that Santa Monica is a videogames producer as well.

The average player will buy Call of Duty and a sports game. We know far too little about this game to make any accurate predictions about whether or not it will bomb with the crowd that actually buys this kind of game.

Santa Monica is only helping this game get done. They do this a lot with a number of different developers. There is nothing stopping them from developing or announcing a new GoW soon.

delSai · Dec 3, 2015

Love how it looks.

Tagyhag · Dec 3, 2015

Hopefully it's good. I love the art atyle, but it's hard to trust video game companies to pull off a good mature story.

NoMoreTrolls · Dec 3, 2015

Interesting art style, but the dev's last two games don't leave me too optimistic about this one.

Spiritwalker · Dec 3, 2015

well that's disappointing tbh

Generally you announce things when you feel they will get the most attention.

It will probably be quite a while before we see anything out of them.

I don't believe you, Cory.

Yep. Experimental, quirky, and more access to Japanese games are among my main reasons too.

RK128 · Dec 3, 2015

The fact this is a 3D platformer has me very interested; nice seeing the genre slowly coming back through Kickstarter projects and indie games

.

The game's look is very nice and I am wondering what the mechanics are going to bring; the teaser looked like the person was very flexible, so I am wondering if we are going to have parkour elements or whatnot.

Looking forward to seeing more at the PSX this Saturday

This is not their internal game bro. Do you not know how SSM works?

Colin would have a seizure reading this thread.

Even modern stuff from Naughty Dog is boundary pushing and, in many ways, feels so experimental and constantly crossing new thresholds. I had (have) never played anything like Last of Us. In its prime, that's how I felt about Uncharted 2.

And, I'm sure, how I'll feel about The Last Guardian. And Rime. And Firewatch.

PlayStation games are just so interesting.

I love this and it makes me happy and excited to be a player.

My feelings exactly.

But... I really wanted Lord of the Dance!

I really like what I'm seeing. But I need to see more. The art direction, and mechanics look very interesting. In a good way.

jett · Dec 3, 2015

Is Santa Monica the patron saint of artsy game developers?

Crayolan · Dec 3, 2015

Bound is a 3D platformer

Sold

Edit: Damnit I thought this was the Santa Monica game. Still interested.

Oppo · Dec 3, 2015

huh.

it does look oddly like a modern-day Psygnosis game. even the logo.

giant_frying_pan · Dec 3, 2015

I like the gymnastic ribbons.

paragonpro · Dec 3, 2015

Looks neat, I figured the tease was likely an x dev game

Aceshighhhh · Dec 3, 2015

What a strange marketing plan.The public was set up for disappointment by teasing images for some arbitrary and unseen IP

Samemind · Dec 3, 2015

Looking forward to it cause dancing as a main focus is shockingly scarce in video games. I feel like there should have been more games by now that fuse dancing with more traditional gameplay.

PS I'd love to be proven wrong, btw

How was the public set up for disappointment? I found the teases interesting.

Pachimari · Dec 3, 2015

Disappointing? Well you guys...

This looks fantastic. I love artistic games, and this have a very nice premise of being a platformer and having one big puzzle for the community. I like it.

You guys will get your God of War IV but Bound looks good on its own too.

Most people were assuming it was a remake or a sequel to something. The way they presented those images certainly seemed that way

The style is really interesting. Hope the gameplay will reflect that.

Crossing Eden · Dec 3, 2015

Ah that's great. Cool looking game, enjoy the aesthetic and art.

Fuuuuccckkkkk, have to change some things in my senior thesis so I don't get sued. Holy coincidence man. ._.

I think that a "NOT CORY'S GAME" note should be added in the first post or the title.
It's obvious but people don't understand.

3D platformer? Wish they showed some gameplay. Definitely interested.

Most of the speculation centered around the continuation of an existing IP( Sly, GoW)

The game looks fine. It just doesn't make sense as to why they would tease odd parts of an image with implications that the public could guess it.

BouncyFrag · Dec 3, 2015

The music was good.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
