Modern-day thrillers are a uncommon choose as source-material for video games, and it’s a horrible disgrace. There’s a lot attention-grabbing stuff that we’ve had little likelihood to expertise first-hand. Tales of dogged investigators, unnerving murderers and the mundane, acquainted world they weave their method by way of.
New Ukrainian studio Storymind Entertainment may be onto one thing, if the slick-looking trailer for his or her upcoming crime-busting action-adventure My Eyes On You is any indication, though they could need to rent a greater translator first. And a brand new voice forged.
Maybe I’m simply not hip sufficient to be following cutting-edge lingo, however I’m pretty positive that ‘scoundlers’ is just not an actual phrase. In reality, half of the script within the trailer above appears unintelligible when written and even moreso when delivered in that woozy, mumbling tone. It’s a pity, because it undermines what would in any other case be a really thrilling trailer. Despite the variety of weapons proven, not a single bullet is fired both, and the brawling fight animations seemed very Hollywood, proper all the way down to the ‘two seconds and you’re out’ choke maintain.
The idea is attention-grabbing stuff, too. The story of an FBI agent returning to Chicago to re-open a case gone chilly, and resume his hunt for a serial killer often called Carnival Man. Apparently the protagonist must take care of nervousness and hallucinations on prime of a gang of masked villains, and – maybe exhibiting their hand just a little early – the official site goes so far as spoiling a twist that presumably occurs some methods in.
Most oddly although, they point out that relying on what proof you select to course of within the sport, the story could take a extra grounded or mystical tone. An odd factor to go away within the participant’s arms, and it’ll be attention-grabbing to see how they handle to make this work within the context of gameplay. I can’t assist however be reminded of the Condemned sequence, and their fast descent into incomprehensibility because the video games layered an increasing number of supernatural parts onto what appeared initially like a pseudo-realistic detective journey punctuated with bouts of hobo-bashing ultraviolence.
No launch date or worth has been introduced but for My Eyes On You, however we do know that the sport is coming to PC, and that’s what actually issues.
