Rime is "getting away from Hollywood", you don't kill monsters

GR-UK writes: "Rime is an open "but contained" world. Rubio underlines that its famous tower "isn't game's ending, but its beginning, one of the many surprises we have for the player". And also on gameplay, "if you like exploration, I think you're going to love Rime. If you like killing monsters, don't expect that (...) we're moving away from Hollywood"."

I had no ideal that the Rime developers took inspiration from The Room. I've played and beat both the room and the room 2. Great unique game unlike anything you'll find on consoles. If they took inspiration from those games, then my anticipation just went through the roof. I can't wait for Rime.

no combat= sold!

From the video I'd seen I was expecting an Ico Zelda mashup. So hearing that it's like The Room doesn't sound too flattering because it makes it sound like it very linear and not a big world. However the second trailer looks great as do the graphics so it's a game i will definitely buy.

IGN isn't going to like this game.

[Patrick_pk44]

Exploration, puzzles, and challenges to progress within the game will sell it for me.

I really dig the art style and would love to see some gameplay soon. I don't play games just to slay monsters too.

[WeAreLegion]

I was really hoping they took inspiration from film The Room. That's a game I want to play!

Have an XB1 & Wii U.

When I eventually do a get a PS4 for all the exclusives like 3-4 years from now, this will probably be the first game I buy.

This game looks awesome.

Killing monsters is a Hollywood thing? I thought they primarily killed people in their movies if anything.

[GarrusVakarian]

People can be monsters too.

Is that you....David Cronenberg?

I'd say more people are killed in games than in Hollywood and it's not Hollywood that has inspired that unless you want to include the last 100 year of cinema where every film with a gun was an 18+

[Dark11]

I just don't understand games like this
i guess it's just not for me.

[Dissidia]

Don't you think it's a bit too early to determine that?

[MegaRay]

You and me both

[guyman]

I bet you can't wait for ori and the blind forest.

(not bashing the game, it looks great).

[Dark11]

No not really.

[DigitalRaptor]

So you don't like adventure games where killing is not required to have a meaningful experience?

How dull…

[uth11]

then I guess you kill robots in this game...

[Clown_Syndr0me]

The article says no combat, so I guess you don't kill anything...except time...

[nucky64]

rime can't come soon enough - it looks great.

[medman]

Rime, Wild, No Man's Sky, The Witness, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Below, Ori and the Blind Forest....yes please!!

[DigitalRaptor]

Indies are great. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Talking of indie games… Dreamfall Chapters - Book One just came out on early release on Steam. It's making its way to PS4 next year, but i'll be playing it as soon as the weekend arrives.

What happened to the witness? Nearly two years since it was announced and the only thing Jonathan Blow ever talks about is how terrible MS are.

[TWB]

Well I dont like to do the comparison (because I think its a bit silly) but you didnt technicaly kill anything in Ico neither (well... except the queen).

Though they said there is zero combat ? We can see the main character swatting at the enemies/entities with a torch in the first trailer so I guess there will be some sort of combat even though its not really "offensive"

So i guess the kid wont need to hunt wildlife for survival he just eats fruit or watever he finds on trees.

[Relientk77]

Want this game

[e-p-ayeaH]

Its just pure good old fashioned adventure with puzzles and environmental hazards, i hope the music is pretty good! these type of games need great soundtracks or else they get pretty dull sometimes like ICO where some gameplay areas were pretty silent with no background music watsoever.
