At Long Last, Ebb Software Unveils SCORN Gameplay Trailer

A little over a year ago, gamers got a taste of SCORN with Ebb Software’s announcement trailer. The video promised a foreboding world heavily inspired by H.R. Giger, otherwise known as “the guy who designed the Xenomorph in the Alien movies.” Players were excited, and for good reason, since the art was unique, at least as far as video games go. However, the trailer didn’t reveal much in terms of gameplay, which left gamers scratching their heads. Aside from being billed as a survival horror FPS, developer Ebb Software didn’t reveal much about SCORN; even the pre-alpha trailer that oddly predated the announcement trailer was devoid of meaningful information. But, fast forward to September 4th, 2017, and Ebb Software has finally dropped the SCORN gameplay trailer gamers have eagerly been awaiting.

As one would expect, SCORN looks disgusting, but in a beautiful sort of way. Ebb Software absolutely nailed the aesthetic it was aiming for, as the world looks like a great, big, massive organism that grew everything from ribbed, trachea-like passageways to pulsating, fleshy spires of unknown function. Even small objects such as door remotes and guns appear to have been grown instead of built. Sadly, I feel the weakest aspect of the gameplay trailer is, well, the gameplay, as it looks like a generic FPS where the player character moves and shoots slowly, not unlike other survival horror protagonists. However, the trailer demonstrates some unique mechanics, such as the aforementioned door remote that is able to lock enemies behind doors. I certainly hope Ebb Software has more aces hidden up its sleeve, because I would hate for SCORN to be nothing more than a generic survival horror game that tries to wow gamers with a unique art style and nothing else.

The gameplay trailer is not the only news regarding SCORN that landed today, as Ebb Software has also released a Kickstarter campaign for the game, or at least the first part of the game, because apparently it’s going to be split into chapters. Why is the news that Ebb Software is trying to obtain money for its game such strange news? Because, in August, the company announced it would publish SCORN, thanks to a partnership with Humble Bundle, which is also helping publish other indie games such as Ikenfell and A Hat In Time. Ebb Software admits on the official Kickstarter campaign page that despite its partnership, the company wants to acquire extra funds through Kickstarter to “polish the game and really make it shine” — an ironic statement given SCORN‘s fleshy aesthetic. Anyone who backs the campaign will receive a SCORN demo, regardless of pledge tier. Tiers start as low as €17 (approximately $20.25) and include HD wallpapers and a copy of the game. The highest tier, a massive €250 (approximately $297.81), includes the game, HD wallpapers, a digital world map, early access, a digital art book, a digital soundtrack, a printed art book, a t-shirt, a vinyl soundtrack, a canvas print, a limited edition USB flash drive, and a limited edition figurine. Ebb Software is asking for €150,000/$178,597 worth of funding and with luck will receive it; criticism aside, I am looking forward to SCORN.

Gamers who want to learn more about SCORN can visit either the official website or Steam page to stay up to date with all news and announcements regarding the game.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
