Ask Me Anything: Mindjack

The future sounds scary if EVERYBODY is going to be armed with a gun :). When you take control of the giant monkey he's just packing fists lol.

What engine is this?

jackin makes me feel good

It's when they go see a game, and learn about it, and then are allowed to bring back game footage.  They aren't playing it, they're just sharing what they know about the game so far.   "

I think this game was featured on House. Or House had
a game that looked like this on their show anyway. wtf.

Janky as fuck, bargain bin + 1.

anyone think the main charter looks like cliffy B. 
 
seems like giest but you can only posses people

Cyber-ape probably refused the body scanner.  Then when the TSA said he'd have to do the "advanced pat-down" he freaked out.  xD
 
Dude just wanted go to Italy to get some gelato.  :(

Can't let you do that, Star Fox!

No, no man! What did I do?! DON'T JACK ME BRO!

Kinda likes Lost Planet 2 then huh?

Maken X

Psi-Ops without the telekinesis?

The multiplayer smacks of Demon's Souls with people jumping in either for or against you. 

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL

The people being able to jump in anytime for your story is neat but looks like an annoying version of Black Phantoms from Demon's Souls. Least give me the option of regular story vs letting people jump in story.

Some nice crossplayer going on here.

" Messiah. "

woah Pixies reference

The sound effect that plays every time minds get jacked is just like the alarm on my phone. Hard to watch when I have a pavlovian reaction every ten seconds.

Mindjack? Like... jacking off with only thoughts and no pornographic aid?

This is Geist.

Geist - Ghosts

I played this at E3. It was probably the worst game that I had hands-on time with.

looks interesting, i might pick it up when it comes out.

Looks like a budget title.

I'm loving the pixies references.

" @Faint: because they're not actually playing, just talking over footage of the game "

This game looks amazing./

Jeff, I think you're thinking of Messiah. The mind jacking game with the baby.

Let's here it for the color "gray"! Woot, who else loves nearly-monochromatic games? <sarcasm>

Intersting concept, I would like to see how it pans out although if I'm being honest, I don't think this game will be any good. 

Interesting idea, maybe if it was more.... Uncharted or Gears of War because this game looks bland. But would love to see more developers use this idea in their games.

 lol, and at the 3rd minute you say that it's not you playing. seems nice tho...

zZzz.

I love the idea of combining Multiplayer and singleplayer. Really interested in this.

Anybody remember The Crossing? 
 
Conceptually, this game looks like The Crossing, where I first heard this concept a long, long time ago. And Mind Jack looks like it's going to come out first, too. 
 
That aside, this game just screams of 'budget' Japanese game. Flat textures, cookie-cutter animations, repetitive & angular areas, and C-grade voice-acting. Looks like a proof-of-concept game. It's mechanically functional and derivative, but it doesn't look any more effort was put into it.  
 
 
I'm sure the PETA will have a field day with the use of apes and monkeys. Also loving the fact that 'mind-jacking' civilians magically grants them with automatic weapons. MAGIC MIND GUNS!

looks crazy

why is this an "ask me anything" and not a quick look?
