Quick Look: Observer

I want to play this in VR

edit: Thanks for the Zelda spoiler, DAN:|

This. Looks. So. GOOD.

I'm not into horror but this seems more... psychological and I dig it. Totally picking this up next paycheck.

Holy shit, this game looks incredible!

that looks incredible holy shit

Looks like a ton of work went into this game, seems to have a distinct vision for sure, pretty impressive.

Reminds me of Fear a bit in the mind warp scenes.

I'm a bit sold on this, also.

41:50 to 42:50 Mushrooms are a hell of a drug.

@zefpunk: holy shit it's got a date. awesome.

Holy shit this has STYYYLE! To be honest it's not a thing I'd want to play myself, I can't really handle horror games, but I do love the look of it!

Dang, Dan. You got it right!! The line on a power switch signifies a closed circuit, meaning power is running through "on". The circle is an open circuit, meaning power is not running "off".

This is not "European" keyboard, this is just Zie Germans...

Same.

It bums me out sometimes when a game looks this good. I really wish I could just play it, but I can't handle being the one who has the controller in these games.

That mind reading sequence is bananas. I have no idea how it'll help figure out who ripped his guts out though.

@loktarogar: Yeah. QWERTZ is a thing. I didn't realize that until a few years ago when some people complained about me hardcoding a game jam game I did to use Z/X as the two main buttons.

I love how Europe is always swept together as one entity.
There are however a lot of countries with different languages.
Depending on the usage of letters the keyboards are adjusted. The French use the QWERTZ-layout. Not sure other countries do too.
In the Netherlands we use 'regular' QWERTY-keyboards. We're not savages like the French.

Holy fuck this looks so cool

Holy epilepsy!

@alex I like to think that Zodiac is the origin story of Columbo. Ruffalo makes a great young Falk.

Well this looks incredible. Also, all of their reactions to the game were so charming. I'd love if Giantbomb could do Playdates around this game.

@cmaciej: Not really.

Edit: Actually, this is obviously set in Poland (all the surnames, "Cena 400 zl."), so the keyboard layout checks out. Weirdly enough I thought you were Polish, too. ("Maciej" is a Polish first name)

Okay, five minutes in and I figured, "I ought to buy this." So I stopped watching...I guess I better buy it.

I bought this today. Not because of this (terrible) quick look but because I wanted it since I randomly came across it on PSN. Seriously East crew...you don't have to ramble over everything. There were times were it was like 4 people talking at once and it was all nonsense.

My German keyboard is QWERTZ

Just finished this game and loved it. Cyberpunk dystopic bliss for me.

Black levels on this video hurt my brain.

@jaydubya: Having lived in france in the 90's, I'm pretty sure they use the even crazier AZERTY configuration. At least back then

this looks fucking awesome! I wonder if XRA knows the guys, some of it reminds me of "memories of a broken dimension"

Man, I never realised Rutger voiced the Lurpak adverts until this Quick Look and now all I can think about is this advert which made the whole thing even weirder.

yeah this ql pushed me to buy this game asap

Is this Death Stranding?

Sooo this what I want from VR

Zodiac is a fucking masterpiece. I just watched it again when it came back on Netflix a few weeks? ago.

@paulunga: Yes I'm Polish too, and yes obviously this game is Polish as fuck :D but the keyboard is German, probably authors had similar experience to mine and seen many German computers in Poland, many Polish workers brought second hand and new computer from our neighbor. This is actually very nice touch in the game.

This seems like it would make a really intense VR game.

This looks incredible. Bought.

disgusting

Sometimes it seems like Dan was just born yesterday. Can never tell if it's act or not. Hope the great circle or line mystery gets solved though.

I love how Vinny asks if Abby is ok during the quicklook lol. What a sweetheart!

I think it's the best procedural film I've ever seen, certainly the best non documentary procedural.

This wasn't on my radar at all until now, but man, I need to buy and play it immediately. I just love the aestethic/setting.

Oh it works, if you have the layouts set. For a long time, that has been the default button combo for changing the keyboard layouts you have installed. With a mouse you can just click the letters (could be US/EN/FIN/עבר/ΕΛ/ ... depending on your country of origin) next to the time/date in the lower right corner. Check your language settings to add layouts to suit your needs.

This game is a strong contender for the LSD of 2017.

I love how often Vinnie manages to drop Nine Inch Nails shout outs.

I wonder if Alex likes the movie Strange Days. That would be an interesting Film & 40's for sure.

Completely forgot about Hobo With A Shotgun. Seeing that in a cinema was a fun time.

I find myself quite happy with how IN Alex is with the whole thing. Wasn't really on my radar before but I'll pick it up, thanks.

I usually have zero interest in the horror and/or thriller genres, which this game definitely falls under, but I am a proponent of "games as art"; and this game simply looks incredible.

I might have to drop some shrooms and trip my balls off while playing through this... 8D
