Unfinished: Viscera Cleanup Detail 04/08/2014

This game looks oddly cool.

Well guys, I've got me some mopping to do.

Rise of the Triad has the best text-to-speech, you can even control the pitch, pitch glide, speed and voice there, even making per letter changes, and people make use of it to the best/worst extent during multiplayer, such as making it sing songs or say A for two minutes at an ever increasing pitch.

Wow that FoV. Getting sick just watching the video.

Patrick did a worth playing on it. They played the real Shadow Warrior on UPF.

You can probably do the same in this and goat simulator. They all use Unreal Engine 3.

Our beloved Irishman Danny O'Dwyer just did a Random Encounter of this game as well! Great minds.

It would be awesome to see a video podcast of the whole giant bomb squad playing this together

So you're saying this game has a sick FoV?

Yep, between that and the sudden movements that keyboard + mouse facilitates, I had to stop the video about half way through.

It's a really funny concept that would be engaging for about twenty minutes at most, at least without a few friends playing co-op. Even then...

What, Giant Bomb? Yup!

Hehehe

Booooooooom.

I guess that's true, though most of the UE3 games seem to go out of their way to hide the interesting features in that engine from the player, whereas ROTT expose them all and just tell you to have fun with it.

This is a really cool idea. I can honestly see myself cleaning up with a few different people assigned to different tasks. I do hope there is some crazy overarching story or twist as you play though. They also need to hide a ton of secrets.

This is exactly the kinda stuff I'm looking forward to with VR. This, and stuff like it, will, like mentioned in the end, be like hang outs with buddies. Minecraft has sort of been this kind of thing for ever, but this is even one step further into just games being "a place you hang out". Awesome trend, I think. Hope it rubs off on MMOs.

The tedium seems fine when it's very specifically what the game is aiming to be about. Not one for those with short attention spans, for sure :D

This is like candy for people with ocd.

Oh geez... I think I would spend forever playing this game.

EVERYTHING

MUST BE

CLEANED!

Drew: "Any idea if you get any upgrades or anything, like a better mop?"

Translation: "I am totally interested in this game."

The whole gameplay loop on this game is terrible, it takes far too long and makes the "joke" not worth it.

Right off the bat, instead of having stuff float in front of your hands it would have been funnier if the space mop had like a gravity gun built into it.

Exactly what I was thinking. That would be fantastic.

VinnCo has a strict policy against hiring any applicant who is currently, or has at any time in the past, been suspected or proven guilty of engaging in shit-banditry specifically or shit-malfeasance related activity in general.

Turns out holding the button just makes you stab the mop over and over again anyway.

I fucking love the idea of this game. I probably will pick it up eventually.

As someone who did janitorial work, I'm disappointed they didn't at least make the character a competent janitor.

I recall this from either some UPF or Worth Playing. At least I know I got inspired myself to buy and download it back then. Love the concept this, just needs a some tweaks here and there...and that narrative, of course. I think it could also be quite fun to have some challenge clean-up happening as the hero comes by and mows down bunch of enemies that you'll then have to clean up in the middle of gunfire.

FoV is ok at 90.

KB+M movements are perfectly fine.

It's just that Vinny's using a way too high mouse sensitivity.

This is (without hyperbole) my dream game. I hope the developers are committed to getting the kinks out.

Do you have OCD? Boy do we have a game for you!

It would be nice to have have some objectives to complete and to check off.

"Realistically", wouldn't a space station hire some sort of cleaning crew armed with power washers instead of some lonely janitor guy with only a mop and bucket? Like, you spray everything down with hot water and pray everything pools into the drains in the ground. Or out the air lock.

I can see myself getting weirdly obsessed with this game. I probably wouldn't even want to play multiplayer since I just expect other players to fuck up all the work I'm doing. Just like at my real job...

Anybody else reminded of the Oddworld badies by that mop?

Haha, those before & after shots are the perfect summary for why this game looks so weirdly compelling.

My job is preforming a less gory version of this in real life.

I'm 100% on board with this. Love it. Will definitely buy the final version.

You loaded up this quick look just for the chance to administer that sick burn yes?

Surgeon Simulator gone wrong.

Trying to hard if you ask me. Like Bioshock shit in your sink and kicked your puppy.

The idea of this is just amazing

I'm so glad this exists. Once it has a proper release I'll be playing.

Kinda want the developers to team up to make it a single game where you murder, clean up the mess, and heal the survivors.
