For what they say the game has they really didn't show off anything special.

I still like the premise and hope it's a decent game.

Meh. Take out the mythical creatures and you have a mediocre shooter, watching that clip.

@Herabec:

I agree I think a werewolf shouldn't be taken down in 3 shots from a shotgun. They are supposed to be crazy strong and resilent. I hate it when games add mythological creatures and make them too easy to take down.

Sure the game doesn't look incredible at the momemnt, but it has my attention piqued. Hopefully this gets a little more tender love n care...and it turns out to be really special.

As someone mentioned earlier, WTF with the werewolf in broad daylight? That takes away any and all immersion.

Yeah, the AI didn't seem intriguing at all.

To the audio designers, the werewolf should make more noise. He dies any barely lets out a wimper. Make that beast howl!

So, is that a linear gameplay, with strong scripted events, and simple enemy AI?

I guest will be a fun game for the people that like that type of FPS (turning point, time shift, etc..)

Also, the "erratic behavior" while it was lying on the ground is what wounded animals look like when they are tying to recover from an injury. ^.^

I counted, it took eleven shots to take it down. From a shot gun, that's actually reasonable, it takes something like that to take down a wild boar, and this is a were-wolf. The "player" just kept missing, nades were thrown behind it, and didn't damage it. SMG missed atleast half the time too. And seriously, 9 millimeter rounds, aren't going to do much to a wear-wolf, unless they are silver. That's probably the other reason it just wouldn't die. The rounds weren't silver. I like this.

@Gustavo: My thoughts exactly. All of Gamecock's titles look like bush-league bargain bin games.

I was interested in this game despite the stupid title until I realized that it's made by the same developer that made Turning Point. Y'know, the game they claimed was too high concept for hardcore gamers?

They couldn't make a good game for Eidos (who at least publish a good game every once in a while) so I don't hold out much hope they can do so for Gamecock who has managed to publish nothing good so far.

Who knows though, maybe this will be a...turning point for both companies? *runs away*

Custom Reality — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 20:50:30 MDT

That looks promising. However the character animation (?) seems a bit buggy to me, more so than it should be for a beta. Could just be me. The werewolf seemed too erratic when it was supposed to be dead (or winded?) on the ground after being frag'd.

I know werewolves are are fake and all, but damn!

A werewolf taking that many shots from a shotgun, while being shot at by smgs on the side PLUS having grenades thrown at it...well, it seems unrealistic!

Please gamecock,stop taking your games out of the oven to show us what youv done when they havent even gone a crispy nex-gen brown yet.Seriously its just gonna get burnt this way

That piece of gameplay footage (although early im sure) looked woefull.For one,that werewolf wasnt showing off any unnerving or incredible AI,unless of course werewolves actually do just run at you flail a bit then repeat the process,and if thats the case i apologise and shall purchase five copies of this to make it up to you.

What it reminded me of was fighting the large Grey Jack creatures in Resistance (the ones that would run at you,flail,then run again),except it was now furry and needed 30 shotgun blasts instead of 2 or 3.

Im hoping Im wrong about it though,and the game turns out to be fantastic.But judging on this footage,my optimism is severely lacking

@JohnnytheFuture: Manticores, Coacktrices and Gamecokers.

Melee damage vs Missile damage is unfair anyway. And not ammount of unrealistic werewolf HP can balance that away.

Is that video a Half-Life mod? seems reuse the sounds.

You know your game is in trouble when your number one bullet point is "Not another WWII or generic sci-fi shooter!"

I'm torn. On the one hand, this concept is brilliant. It's fresh, albeit not very well-fleshed out (Monsters on the loose! Someone has to stop them! Shenanigans ensue!) but on the other hand, as has been said a bunch of times before me...another fps? Really?

Either the controls are unwieldy as all Hell or that person can't aim to save his life.

Given that they seem to have (after using more ammo than it should have taken) killed the beast, I think the former is true. Anyways, looks too GoW "brown and bloom" visual-style for me.

More to the point, why is this even getting made? Aren't we all tired of FPS games? Or is there a fresh batch of 15 year olds in the pipeline?
