During the Xbox Series X event on May 7th. One of them was a game called Scorn. We soon learn that it is a console exclusive. But why?
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher Kepler Interactive and Belgrade-based (Serbia) indie games developer Ebb Software, are today super thrilled and proud to announce that their philosophical atmospheric horror game “Scorn”, is now available for the PS5 via PSN." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Very lackluster game. Had high hopes for it, but it didn't cut it. Really only for people who appreciate the art of it all. It really doesn't deliver as the Myst title with obscene imagery it was trying to be.
This game is great, but it's not for everyone. It doesn't hold your hand nor does it try to be accessible, combat is slow and you are always at a disadvantage so if you do engage you must make your shots count because the penalty for missing is often dying and that can reset a lot of your progress. Puzzles are in my opinion the best part, there are enough of them, they offer a good challenge and are also the best moment to appreciate the art style of the game.
The closest comparison that I can give would be with the original Echo Nights. And just like that game, I feel that you have to approach it with the mindset that it's not an action game and that you will get frustrated if you try to play it as one.
"Feardemic are today very thrilled & proud to announce the winners (yes, "Resident Evil 4 Remake" is on the list) of its Fear Fest Horror Game Awards 2023 event." - Feardemic.
"This October, PlayStation 5 devotees will at last be able to delve into the unsettling universe of "Scorn", the acclaimed first person horror adventure. Ebb Software in collaboration with Kepler Interactive revealed the Tuesday, October 3rd release date during the Future Games Show at this year’s gamescom." - Ebb Software and Kepler Interactive.
Glad it comes to PS5, it was a really interesting experience.
Some parts were awfully bad, but it reaches some remarkable peaks. I think I'll replay it someday.
50$ is a crazy asking price. When it hits the 5-10$ bargain bin I may grab it then. I doubt it takes too long
"Before deciding to partner with Microsoft we made sure that they will not have any influence over the game’s concept and development process. They were more than cooperative in that regard. The only thing they were interested in was exclusivity rights"
Shame, this game looks pretty cool. Wish it was launching on PS4/5 or Switch tbh.
Well, platforms need exclusives. Microsoft secured an interesting- looking one, so it's hard to be mad, particularly when the discourse is generally that they're missing exclusives, so it's a demonstration of progress.
I'm not getting this game because I've decided I don't need or want Series X, so that's a bit of a bummer. Even so, I get it: you need exclusives.
Exclusive... When do some understand that exclusive mean one device. Not multiple devices... Can i play the in more then one device day one? Yes. Not exclusive. The Word exclusive means that You can only play that game on one device. Therefore You buy the console or pc to play it. Microsoft payed for not being in another console but not in all platforms .
