Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I'm glad it's still coming. I thought for sure it had probably been canned (along with the series itself).

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Yeah that did nothing for me, hopefully Ballistic Moon fulfills the promise they once had.

NeoGAFs Kent Brockman


The brave astronauts of the Cassiopeia embark on a deadly mission to save humanity, but their ship is infected by an alien lifeform that perfectly imitates its prey. 🧑‍🚀

When friend could be foe, who do you trust?

I wish it was a big game release like until dawn and the quarry.the dark pictures anthology are OK but not on the same level as their big 2 they have released.

Maybe they have changed the formula or improved it? Man of medan was pretty meh,little hope was mediocre and house of ashes and devil in me was average too. None of them have reached the heights of UD or TQ

I've enjoyed the Dark Pictures games for what they were and will likely check this one out.

Next Dark Pictures Anthology Game

Does anyone give a shit when they see this

Yes.

Good couch co-op games, these. Like watching a popcorn flick over the weekend.

How do these games differ from their output like Until Dawn/The Quarry? Are they just like... lower budget versions of the same thing?
 
If it plays like a immersive The Thing like game or System Shock 2 where you can revisit old locations etc instead of it being mostly linear. Than I'll give it a try.

Hoping it's more slower, explorable, and a immersive type of horror with limited resource instead of action horror.

Supermassive is on a similar trajectory to Telltale - release a great game that's a major success (Until Dawn & TWD Season 1), start making more games from the same genre which turn out be worse, people are fed up and sales numbers drop significantly, try to change things up by taking more time and adding more interactions (TWD Final Season), but maybe it's already too late??

“How can we make our game look like Dead Space”, is all I got out of that trailer. From what I heard choices don’t matter in these games like they do in Until Dawn. Substance is apparently just not there.

not doing all that badly, it'd seem...

edit: then again, maybe not:
