Do you think this will become something noteworthy, or does it look mediocre? Or maybe it will just never come out?

It`s just a gimmicky game like every indieshit that comes out once in a while but just like every jumpscare game lately, normalfags will gobble it all up.

Wait for the game to come out

This. Though I think they wanted to see how people would react to the trailer to figure how much they'll put into it.

Looks bland.

damn this new doom game is really weird

It seems to have some potential. it depends on if it can keep a nonlinear aspect about it.

...

Meh, nitroplus has really jumped the shark.

Looks kinda cool but that's kinda it.

Unreal engine shit. Too many bored artists producing too much with easy to use tools, nowhere near enough game designers and programmers. End result is clutter, shovelware that if you were to follow and seriously consider trying out or purchasing would only distract you from actual vidya.
lol

Yeah, not nearly enough vaginas and dicks. It has viscera and a motif of bone and nerves grown into walls, but that's much more of a different artist's style, of which escapes my memory at the moment.

I still dont know what kinda game it is, Is it doom? is it amnesia? what the fuck? I haven't been this confused about a game since no mans sky.

Its relying solely on its aesthetics, its going to be crap

it's meant to pull a Metroid:

Potentially.

every time someone wants to talk about a game, negative nancy autists always gotta come out the woodwork to make sure everyone knows he thinks it's going to be shit

Meh, if shootan parts work as much as "adventure" parts worked in Tormentum Dark Sorrow, I'll say the visuals can carry the game. It also looks like Beksinki, Giger and '90s Metal Hurlant covers put into blender (and the dicks and vaginas removed).

This game is one of my biggest fetishes, so I sure hope it's good.
But I remember the last time a game that was a fetish turned out and it was pretty eh. But then again, Agony is also coming out which seems kinda similar in concept to Scorn, so I can at least hope one of them will be good.

It looks like a cross between Beksinki and Rob Bottin's works, honestly.

Rob Bottin being the notable person who worked on Carpenter's The Thing.

cradle was right shit

Music was pretty damn good at least. Is it basically a DOOM walking simulator?

Despite looking forward to it for so long, it was so badly optimized I never really played it.

Did you get to fuck the robot?

Seems like it. Looks like you're gonna be some dude who is stuck in this flesh world and just trying to get out or something.

You got guns of some sort so you'll be trying to survive, probably scrounging for ammo and such.

Also, due to the flesh visor over the guy's face, the "blood on eyes" is for once justified. (if they even use it).

I thought the same thing. I was just thinking the other day that some Beksiński influence in games would be awesome. There's tons of Lovecraft influence these days among the hipsters, and Geiger gets tons of attention, but truly surreal horror like Beksiński is generally overlooked in video games and movies.

guh, sound desynch is shit on that one, lemme see if this works…

Beksinski was overlooked by LIFE.
Unpopular when alive, niche because of his sexual themes, tragic family and died young.

what if it actually turns out to be shit?

I love his painting of the skeletons sitting in circles on the buttes.

which?

Dawn of war 3 announcement trailer was a kick in the balls

...

This is pretty fucking metal

...

I guarantee he's talking about this one. It is an intriguing painting.

...

I'm just waiting for the porn.

Apparently tons of people didn't understand what 99% of his paintings were even about. Some that were freaky or just odd were supposed to be funny or even ironic.

An example I would best use is the image of the flute player, which mostly looks like if you were to record and blur every movement said flute player makes with his fingers.


Even picture 2 here is actually pretty touching, picture 3 brings to mind the "feeding of the machine" that society often does.

I haven't laughed that hard in quite a while.

Thanks, user.


Mein neger. Beksinski is one of my favourite painters of all time.

I actually know some artists who love to porn shit like this, so yeah, it'll exist and in good quality as well.

If I had to guess, I'd lean towards never coming out. If it does come out it will probably be a shallow walking simulator with 30m of gameplay

so you are the guy who killed him?
fuck you nigger

Who knows at this point, but at least it got us talking about Bensinski's art.

I wonder if there's gonna be a crossover of any kind between this game and Agony. There seem to be enough similarities between the two.

I know that i keep seeing a bajillion suggestions for Agony when I look up scorn stuff.

I always took a lot of the decay in his works to imply the ephemeral nature of life. How even beautiful moments like making love with a life partner are ultimately slated to decay like everything else organic.
I'm not usually one who digs for meaning in art where there obviously is none (like the trumpet player, which is clearly an exercise in motion, like much futurist work, pic related), but a lot of his sexual work touches me. It has a lot of the beauty and passion that more optimistic sexual paintings usually do, but touched with decay. It's touching, but it also feels sad to look at.
A lot of his work, though, I feel probably doesn't have a message. Image 4 out of what I posted (>>11358290) doesn't say anything to me, and I doubt means much unless it's incredibly abstract.

While there are certainly themes, I don't believe there is much actual meaning behind his work, similar to Giger.

Ayy lmao, chill out it's just biology.

That's good to know. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the game to gain some popularity, or just bugging them directly.

Cronenberg's a failed artist who can never make anything beautiful so he resigned to wallowing in ugliness. Also jewish, surprisingly enough.

There's no deeper meaning, this kind of shit is just all these artists are capable of.

I'll bug 'em directly.


Correct. Giger's works were mostly him putting his night terrors into an image, which really meant nothing.

It's astounding how few people know the difference between a Theme of an image and a Meaning.

...

Literally nothing you said made any sense

It's not that surprising when there is frequently tons of overlap. It's also really not that surprising when the words even overlap in semantics across languages (Thema is German, meaning "topic" or "subject", and is frequently used to describe the meaning of something; note that German is Giger's native language) or medium, in many of which meaning and theme can overlap (such as writing).

If you break it down to the base definitions, "theme" refers to the topic or overarching attributes which may be grouped and shared categorically, whereas "meaning" would be the base intention or message that the artist is trying to convey. It's clear that a meaning can also be a theme, and a theme can easily be a meaning. I'd argue that a meaning is always a theme (though there can be themes without meaning), and "meaning" would therefore be a type of a theme, so somebody saying "meaning" when they meant "theme" is such a minor mistake that it's pointless to focus on it.
Getting pedantic with the semantics really is pointless though. If you use either term, your intention is going to be completely clear based on the context. Nobody is going to ever think "Oh, you meant theme? I thought you were talking about the meaning this whole time!" At the very worst, it just makes it clear that you haven't spent time studying art and absorbing the jargon.

There already is Beksiński influence in games. It is not much but games like to take influence from one or two of his paintings.


In Poland they just released movie solely about him and his family. He is not remotely niche in here.
Also movie is solid, I can recommend it.

looking at the tumbnail of the video makes me wonder if they made eXistenZ into a game?
look it up, it's a movie about a game
but skipping through the trailer it looks like some H R Geiger fan tribute nonsense

I think hes trying to say that the visual style of the game and the setting are Degenerate, because everything needs to be happy and bright looking and perfectly realistic and bland otherwise its degenerate.
