Ask Me Anything: Mindjack

Pixies Quotes FTW :D

At first I kinda just thought this game looked like a shitty 3rd person shooter with horrific voice acting & a crappy story, but then I saw that Cyborg Gorilla & now I say; Fuck this game.

I'm not totally sold, but it's a really interesting concept.

this is like that game 
you know that game with David Bowie or something 
 
 Omikron was the name  

Conceptually this seems really promising. But just from watching gameplay footage I have concerns about the actual execution of some of those ideas. 
 
And the movement and shooting looks clunky as hell. There are some real awkward animations going on. 

why is this not a quick look?

The multiplayer is exactly what Demon's Souls. The fact that it's not yet been mentioned sucks.

The 'game with the baby'  i think he means Messiah (an old PC game)

totally had me until the cyborg apes...

what happened at 0:50?

cool a game I havent hear much of recently.

Game doesn't look that great. Interesting concept though.

they took a page out of Demon's Souls, which is fine with me. 
 
Oh man, looks like we are getting invaded with spam.

meh!

This looked awful in the trailer and looks just as bad in-game. It's like a early PS2 game.

Reminds me of Geist. 

Always liked the idea of mind controlling people in games though I think that because Square is putting this out, it might be a bit strange as these kind of action games aren't really something that they do a ton of but might work as the developer has done a few action games. Will have to play it first hand to find out for sure.  

Stiff.

I feel - about this game

I think this game looks great, in a fun nostalgic way. I like the cheesy Japanese arcade plot and dialogue in it. Much like Brad and Jeff said, the voice acting is like early 2000's Japanese games. The difference between the tone in this and Vanquish is that Vanquish seems almost self aware in its cheesy craziness, whereas this is self serious and as a result achieves that nostalgic arcade "Time Crisis" esque tone more successfully. I also think more games need to make use of the clean Neo Tokyo setting. Now that I think about it, I can't think of too many games that have.

" why is this not a quick look? "

Vanquish 1.0

Wwow Jeff comin' through with a Pixies reference.

I am interested in this game.

This is really not bad. I am very interested.

that apes spine is MESSED UP!
 
game looks interesting, but i cannot stand 3rd person cover based shooters.

" This looked awful in the trailer and looks just as bad in-game. It's like a early PS2 game. "

Color me intrigued. I like the look and feel of this game. I'm gonna check this one out whenever it releases. Looks pretty cool.

Concept is cool, game looks really janky like most Japanese games.

Not interested in this game but I think the multiplayer stuff is a neat idea.

Leave Brink alone!

Demon's Souls   invasion with a twist! Cool.

you are giving way too much credit to early ps2 games. "

I know it's not done but -- game looks jank as fuck. The camera in particular is seriously jarring in the way it pans around all crazy when you hit cover. Curious how it'll turn out, either way.

Apes, guys, not monkeys!

The concepts behind the game sound very interesting, but the way the game actually plays ruins it.

Maybe not EARLY PS2 games. But MGS2 looked better than this... "

Good to see Demon's Souls multiplayer influences making its way into other games.

why does the art and colors remind me of Front Mission Evolved..... FU Square-Enix for more mediocre action games.

Looks like a case of cool idea, poor execution. I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Pixies reference made this video worth it.

Need to give those apes rocket boots or jetpacks and I'm onboard
hell I'm on board anyway - apes with guns sounds fun.  those melee attacks looked BAD tho.  fix that
