|
 |
Black Death, a new survival horror, is the personification of the fear generated by the recent pandemics and the mistrust which has been associated to their supposed origins.
Our goal with Black Death is to go one step further by focusing the game on three essential elements: speed, fluidity and freedom of action, to offer the player a sensation of freedom and the possibility to create his own arsenal.
Today, The American North East coast, a city is suddenly hit by a massive cloud of smoke.
Mysterious swirls of this black smoke appear and infect everybody.
This new disease is spreading all over the city making it a place full of sick people sunk into a comatose state.
As they mutate into strange creatures with various powers and group behaviours, they start to become violent and invade the whole city.
The player is a survivor who will try to stay alive and wipe out this scourge from the city.
Gameplay Experience:
* Survive in the fog
* Be Creative: Create your own chemical weapons and test them on your enemies
* Cure or kill infected you meet and choose your fighting strategy
* Spectacular: Have fun discovering a unique bestiary, and experiment with multiple weapons and devices
* Fight: Fast action, it’s difficult to kill, you must finish on contact
* Control the fog
* Discover the black death evolution

Or even steampunk, for that matter. More suitable for that London medieval setting (that I also love).  |

But this isn't one of those "a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved" sort of situations. You're just SPREADING THE PAIN TRAIN among others. No fair.
edit:
Anyway we got Deus Ex coming out. And the beta felt very cyberpunk~ish to me.
edit2:
There's too little steampunk anyway. I'm sitll waiting for someone to draw a steam powered chainsaw.

Demo: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X6B3G84V
Warning: it's more like a proof of concept test / alpha so it's pretty rough.
Having said that I think it's great!!

"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."

@Neon: Yes it has a proper ending after a certain bossfight. You probably followed an "unscripted route" meaning you went somewhere you weren't supposed to go.. (remember it's more of an alpha than a demo..) I experienced a similar situation during my first playthrough.

Why are the developers so keen in terms of making the enemies devoid of any personality?

Really? That's the best they can do? How about the player having his own agenda and acting a bit more practical or selfish?

Not bad, I liked the atmosphere/creepy lighting effects; the shooting isn't that fun though (and the low fov doesn't help), let's hope they fix everything in the final release.
@Neon: I think that's a feature

That's just with what gamepad they tested. Probably it uses XInput like a lot of games.

Assuming they've already put out a demo already, the release date itself isn't far away?

It's a prototype, not a regular demo. They don't even have (announced) a publisher right now and they'll need one to publish on consoles (on PC there's always self-publishing on Steam), and they say the game will be on all 3 "HD" platforms.
