Agony or Scorn?

I honestly forgot both existed and still can't tell them apart from each other.

Scorn. The theme is more alien. Agony seems like some interpretation of hell with tons of filters all over it and generic gore/corpses/bodies everywhere.
Scorn seems to have less filters and a more alien setting.

I choose dubs.

has there been any new info since the reveal trailers?

Scorn put out a trailer a few weeks ago. It was 70% prerendered and 30% in-engine, though I wouldn't call it gameplay. They said there'd be a longer gameplay trailer sometime next month and that the game was still set for this year.

Agony published a video a few months back, and posted it here within 10 minutes. It had a fair amount of gameplay, but it was just scripted nonsense and a focus on demon tits, so they are likely hiding flaws. Not sure about ETA for them.

Scorn. Its aesthetics please me more although it sure would be nice to know what the fuck kind of videogame it is.

Mwheehefhee

oh fuck everything, meant for

Scorn looks more interesting. I'm a sucker for Beksiński and stuff. It's also not directly sexualized like Agony is, and thus provides more of a challenge.

So these might actually be walking simulators?

...

I can't tell these apart anymore. Even the names are practically the same thing.

Both have elements of walking simulators, but both also showed weapons and interactions with the environments.

The nice firm tits actually make it a lot less scary

I just wish there was more SFM porn of it

Scorn, I guess?

Agony is Red: The Game

post beksinski

...

It sure makes me wonder how anons can mix up the two.

...

Who does that these days?

Scagorny

Agony has demon titties in it, make your assumption from that.

I am 20,000% erect

...

I get confused by that all the time.

Given what I've seen of them, Scorn will actually have some gunplay and combat featured heavily throughout the game. Agony looks like a big red flag to me, like it's all hype about "zomg demon tits and edgy trailer!!1" but consistently dodging the question of what the actual game is going to be.
The Scorn guys released some video showing the first 15 minutes or so of their game a while back. The reaction to it wasn't great because the first ten minutes or something was nothing but walking and looking around, and no combat happened until near the end of the video. Because of that tons of people jumped on it calling it nothing but a walking simulator with horror elements, and that it was going to be a big fat nothing.

They might be right in the end, but because I know how they came to that conclusion I'm not giving that any credibility. People have no idea what the game itself will actually be like yet, and I'll probably plunder it from the high seas when it's available to see for myself. Agony, however, even though it's very similar, seems more hackish to me. Hard for me to really put my finger on why aside from the way the game is marketed.

Scorn looks more interesting to me, i'm a big fan of the Giger's art.

There is a fine line between hauntingly creepy and medically disgusting.
Neither of those games fit the first category. They're both shitty attempt at shock content without any artistic integrity to them.

I'm leaning towards Scorn because it looks less like a walking simulator and the music is bitching.

agreed. it has some viscera feeling, but does seem to have a strong basis in Beksinski's style. Probably using the Geiger name to attract attention, but there are not nearly enough boners and vaginas.

...

it's supposed to be disgusting

That's rather flaccid, user.

You are using the same argument.

How do these trailers have so many fucking views? More than mea, cyberpnk etc. Did they pay off your e-celebs or what?

Scorn is shamelssly milking giger/alien "art"style and I got a feeling from the trailer its being weird/disgusting for the sake of being weird, which is as cancerous as it can get.
Agony seems like it might have more substance to it with the classic hell look, showing more gameplay and also demon diddies

Some people just like horror aesthetics, the hype is real we'll see how it goes. it looks like Scorn is going to win to me though, since all evidence points to Agony having less gameplay.

you messed those two up user

scorn freaks me out
agony just looks like grimdark occult/demonic edge

your set of influences seems too narrow if your mind goes to giger directly with scorn

How exactly is it milking the art style exactly? As far as I'm concerned there isn't really any game that looks like it out there. Maybe you're putting too much thought into it user, we should wait and see how the game is when it comes out.

Scorn is being shilled on here mercilessly and unabashedly. That being said, I've always been fascinated by hell and that twisted Geiger-like look into the spiritual, so I'll probably try both.

Scorn looks nothing like Giger's art you imbecile

So far Agony is just marketing demon tits, and I'm not seeing much if any game being shown that's just a huge red flag for me.

I like agony's depiction of hell, It seems just like how fucked up it was in my dreams and how I'd think it'd look.

oh it might be influenced by something else in like 10% but giger is the most obvious and in there. If you are trying to imply beksinski is in there, guess again, his art is about vast open spaces and something monumental in it, and scorn has shown none of it so far.

his art is popular along with alien franchise, so to me it seems like ripping him off was a safe bet for the devs

I wasn't talking about beksinski at all. Why these two names? Fucking expand your horizon.

I've only seen the trailers. Scorn has some really nice visuals, but they don't show much actual gameplay. What little they do show seems kinda meh. Agony also has nice visuals and the trailer is entirely (?) gameplay, even though the gameplay seems fairly standard. Agony, I suppose.

(also, Agony features actual *ahem* anatomy, rather than the usual barbie-doll bumps. That's gotta be a plus)

Im still waiting for you to list other influences for the "art" in this game

are you blind or stupid?

This is the only part that looks remotely like Giger's works.

...

Figures you'd like the traditional hell the most, Satan.

Nah.

That still does not explain why those have 40x as much views as the evil within 2 trailer or whatever.

Never understood whats to like about a look that is simply disgusting, might as well look at surgery videos.

Is Cyberpunk even going to come out?

why do they think games that are just shades of 1 color look good?

soon

yep its there.

even popping out zits vids on yt have millions of views, I guess people are strangely attracted to something disgusting, but notice the amount of dislikes on the scorn video too lel

>He calls that inspired Giger's art
Not enough dicks and pussies.

Splatterhouse did it first

Agony looks boring scorn seems interesting

DARK SEED III
WHEN?

Europoor pls

no I called it alien/giger ripped art

Neither. Tormentum.

I really want to see a video game with this kind of artstyle.

This. I was surprised to hear other anons getting excited over it, to be honest.

Don't know much about Scorn.

more porn?

Hey, do you have any models from the game?

What game is this

How does it feel to have a sub-80 IQ?

son….

yeah but who looks at menstrual art willingly?

I love how in agony in the first of those purple light things that let you walk on walls there is a not so subtle alegory of a Jew building a wall with corpeses of sacrificed babys

What are you talking about?

if they both came out on the same day I would pirate and play scorn first

Im surprized nobody has mentioned this yet.

Scorn because the demon in Agony makes my pee pee feel funny. The things I would do to that demon would get my a hell of my own

Because I thought it's one of the other two.
So much for their uniqueness.

In some countries a decimal point is indicated by a comma while in others it's a period.
In some European countries like Sweden saying something is twenty euros and ten cent would be written as "20,10€", while Anglophone countries like America saying something is twenty dollars and ten cent would be written as "$20.10".
This means that "20,000%" can either be taken as "twenty thousand percent" or "twenty percent" depending where you live.

This just goes to show that anglos have to be contrarian dumbasses in absolutely every aspect to feel special about themselves.

Because it's fucking terrible.

considering 0 are usually omitted in decimals when they are at the end it's pretty clear what it means

oh god please no, I don't wanna

Who would give a better blowjob? Agony demonslut or Mileena?

Body horror is over done, and both games will be inherit shit.

I remenber seeing a gameplay video of Agony and it had a weird possession gimmick where, when you died, you could travel around as a specter but several parts of the level were still locked so you always had to find a poor sap to take over and use his body to interact with the world. Being killed essentially set you back to whenever your possession target was spawning from.
I'm also not sure but I think it was said that eventually you'd be able to possess demons too.

That's probably the difference between both games, Agony goes for symbolism and horror with possession mechanics for gameplay, ending up something closer to the Penumbra Games, while Scorn goes straight for weird and disgusting with regular shooter mechanics.

I sure hope both games succeed so we can get more weird shit in the market.

Agony slut since my dick doesn't fit Mileena's mouth, if you know what I mean ;)

Where the hell do you get a model rip from if a game isn't even out?

Either demos or the devs make porn to shill the game
Haven't there been early releases of that game or something? There are videos of people playing it after all.

Holy shit

Yes, he designed the monsters and sets for that movie.

Fun fact, for the scene where the shot is panned out and you see the people walking in the large room, it's actually kids of the cast and crew in miniature versions of the space suits to give the illusion of a much larger room.

Frankly I like the Giger art-style of Scorn and I like the visceral presentation of Hell from Agony. So I'm gonna keep my eye on both and unless some glaring errors come to light probably get both.

True, why settle for only one?

Scorn. The atmosphere is, frankly, more appealing.

this is actually the unironic and mostly un-nostalgia reason i really prefer watching older movies; there's genuine ingenuity that went into special effects pre-CG. alien/aliens made a ton of dioramas and models for their shots, along with star wars a new hope/empire. john carpenter's the thing had the most brilliant robotic monster costumes/machines in the history of film. in escape from new york, the "computer" model of the path Snake needs to take is actually a shot from a camera being moved around a model set, built in miniature, out of black materials and with the lights off with neon tubes to mark off the "grid"

Reminds me of this.

I like the look of current FX (although I'm sure they don't look that special to anyone interested in the field) and I'd be hypocritical to critique it considering videogames are pretty much computerized SFX.

However, it is indeed a shame the loss of ingenuity that went into previous works where you had to be smart about your resources to get the best effects, not just throw more money and time at it.
In a way, this also affects videogames with devs being very lazy and leading to badly optimized bloated crap everywhere when a few years ago, they'd do so much more with incredibly crappy tools.

I'm gonna agree. While people may tote that "practical effects look obviously fake", so does CGI. I feel that both have a place in movies and such, but the actual ART of it was lost in the first movie that popularized it, which was Jurassic Park 1993.

Combination large animatronics and human sized puppets together with CGI. The CGI was used mostly sparingly, for things that the animatronics/puppets could NOT do, such as chase a jeep or simulate a herd of dinosaurs running past the actors, or a full body shot of a dinosaur so immense, an animatronic or puppet would be impossible.

Shin Godzilla has been the first film in ages where many times, I could not tell the CGI apart from the practical effects.

Scorn.
Looks more disturbing than Agony, plus I prefer sci-fi over fantasy, and body horror over "muh spoopy demons and eternal fire".

shing gozilla was such a boring shit movie, the 90's gozilla was almost better. so much anime-tier cringe dialogue

I believe the only thing mentioned about hell in the actual bible is "a lake of fire".

Most everything else was grabbed from Dante's Inferno (layers of hell and such), but it's "cited" as fact many times.

here is your (you)

For fuck's sake.

I want you to know I appreciate you

Pretentious much, are we devs?

God forbid they make you faggots read something other than the Sunday funnies - would you rather "Scorn, Part 1 of 2: Spooky Shit Man?"

I thought only the Japanese used german to be artsy?

I was referring to how they're releasing it as two games, you dense bastard.

God damn games like these look terrible.

It's like the video game equivilent of a carnivals "haunted house".

Get fucked.

lmao this collectivism

It isn't new. It's been used since before Oblivion.

Barely. You don't spend much time inside Oblivion gates. There hasn't been any games that really go with a full hell setting, besides Doom but that hardly counts.

Sure, some of these aren't "hell" per se, but the gore, strange immagery and references from the bible are more than enough to count these games as being set in a hell-like place, and some being a more personal hell.

Dante's Inferno is the only one there that's actually set in Hell.
