Quick Look: Murdered: Soul Suspect

I'm glad someone here remembers the PAX Panel.

Good Lord. That main character looks like what the most socially stunted neckbeards think is cool. This game is hard to look at or take seriously due to this main character.

I was getting into this game until I saw a ghost that can WALK THRU WALLS use the goddamn stairs.

That's amateur hour stuff, Ghost Pig!

Ghost cop, so kind of like RIPD, got it!

Damn Drew has been on the ball lately with figuring out what to do in these quick looks. A raise?

every time he walks through a wall my brain goes WOAH SHIT NO

it would be hard to get used to

Finally, Neil Young has his own video game!

That shoulder holster looks uncomfortable. Why would you ever want the strap going diagonally across your chest like that?

Brad for godssakes stop twitching the camera around for no reason. Making me nauseous watching this. :(

Look at all the people trying to make logic of ghosts.

Hey guys, ghosts aren't real.

(yes I'm just being an a-hole)

Game looks mildly intriguing, yet, boring. Maybe when it's cheap I'll try it. And by then I will have completely forgotten about this game so it won't matter.

you're not real

(i'm sorry that was cruel of me)

I am a ghost.

****

Looks like squandered potential to me. Some good ideas but not enough for fully flush it out. Mechanics like stealth killing the demons seem really out of place to me, but they were probably hard-pressed to include some sort of adversarial gameplay.

Brad continues to be Brad at core game mechanics. It would be a lot less bad if Jeff hadn't figured it out within minutes of watching Brad play.

Awe man i just came to the realization that GBNY means no more Vinny in quicklooks.. Now we need a quicklook:Vin-co edition.

So you're saying the only way you would play this game is if it was free...

Oh, SOLE Suspect, guys!

@meauntienora: The difference there is even if they are strangers, you still know where they live and have a chance to see them once in awhile. I was referring mainly to things seen on the internet or other similarly disconnected venues.

I was thinking Seoul Suspect.

Ah, the good ol' Deadly Premonition gameplay loop: bad combat and stunted investigation, but with none of that game's charm.

I fear my desire to find every little thing would make this game about double as long as it should be. I was right there with Brad saying "Yeah man, where is that last boiler?" to myself.

I'll add it to a wishlist though; I do like the concept, reminds me of Geist

Just by watching this quicklook I wouldn't play this game even if it was free. Does not look like my cup of tea.

This game just reminds me of how much I wanted Geist to be a good game. Man, that game had such an interesting and cool idea

It was still fun for a few hours just possessing various objects just to see in what ways you could scare humans and animals, but it was a novel idea that grew thin fairly quickly. I know i'd be crazy in saying that I wouldn't mind seeing Nintendo (or whoever owns that IP) try it again, but hey, maybe they'd get it right the second time around?......probably not

As for the game at topic, this also looks like a great idea that will wear thin quickly. $20-30 game at most looks like

'Tis not true (hell, if you've the right body type you can sport a trilby and look just fine), but... arguing fashion isn't going to get us anywhere, so...

@pinner458: No, just seems like an appropriate title. I actually liked what I saw in this quick look, considering I have heard very little about this game. I'm just extremely busy with Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein right now to worry about a new game.

No shit, ghost Sherlock! BOOM!

Could not be more boring

I did not know you could write an elderly couple who hate noise so much that they brutally murdered a girl and hid her corpse in a gravel pit and make them seem so bland. This really needs more punch and colour. Maybe it goes so nutso by the end that it justifies itself like Deadly Premonition (or Silent Hill the movie), but there's not much pulling me in here. I've played hidden objects games that were more intriguing. It's a shame, Airtight Games showed more potential than this and have kind of foundered instead of flowering.

Yeah, “interesting” does withold an actual endorsement, but that's not a bad thing. Sometimes a game just isn't that enjoyable outside of the ways that it explores some idea or ideas.

Thank God for Drew.

Church bells.

This just made me want to watch The Frightners.

It seems like the most important thing this game presents me is a reminder that I should really go back and play through L.A. Noire again.

I'll have to watch someone else play it to determine if the game's stealth is busted or just Bradded.

"If he can walk through walls, why doesn't he just walk through floors?"

Because this game would really suck if it controlled like Descent.

Rex and Ronan, experimental detective and ghost detective?

Cigarette stayed in the guy's mouth during that whole fight with the killer.

I somehow think this would have been better if it came out 10 years ago.

Man, Brad makes the stealth stuff look like it's super hard and confusing. You sit in a hiding spot. If a demon gets close, you jump to another. After a few seconds, it'll give up. You do not leave your hiding spot and run away... Because the demon will see you. Duh.

That's kind of the entire point of you being able to jump between hiding spots. But this would require reading what's on the screen!

The stealth stuff isn't great by any stretch, but if it was anywhere near as bad as Brad makes it look here the game would be a -15/10.

Better name = Ghost Dick: Soul Suspect

Yeah with this game getting little advertisement, I can see why you would say that.

Stopped caring when they got to the combat. Call it an interactive movie or visual novel. I'd still rather have that then unnecessary violence to appeal to the "average" gamer.

I don't know if it was the game's fisheye distortion or the way Brad was jerking the camera back and forth the whole time, but I had a lot of trouble watching this video without getting sick.

That's what I did with the 15 min or so I played at a convention, the tutorial is pretty blatant about those rules. Guess not surprising coming from these guys :P

Bradded.

Do you think this ghost can eat?

And the game appears to be just as not so great as I thought it was when I first saw it.

That would have been a better game.

That be great to have them show up & solve his murder and help him "go to the light".

On a side note, have you played Blackwell Epiphany ?

That stealth mechanic... why?

Yup. It was a fitting end to the series.

It is required playing if you're a fan of the previous games.

I completed it a few weeks ago and agree it was a fitting end to what has been an amazing series.
