The Surge is out

Post by GameHED »

Decent Dark Souls/Bloodbourne clone but set in sci-fi universe with robots
Looks bloody good. Why didn't From Soft do a Armored Core game with Dark Souls gameplay FFS? It sounds like an awesome idea.
If you are into Monster Hunter this game has elements of that with ripping off parts of the enemy.

This game would have looked better if it took on a more dark Terminator 1-ish look to it. If DS was all about dark fantasy, then this should take on a dark sci-fi look to it with machines that are creepy and sneaky and seem to hide in shadow and suprise you by breaking through walls and floors and having a more survival horror feel to encounters. (ie exploring places should be scary visually)

So far it's being labelled as a less immersive DS game that is shorter and more with more reptitive environments.

The main character reminds me of the human male space marine in Aliens Vs Predator arcade game:

On the fence about this game, like the look of it, probably wait for it to drop in price. Glad to see the developers made the PC the lead platform. Whenever developers do that the game invariably is better for it, scales a lot better too.
