Heh, so funny to look back at the initial reactions to this game. Supermassive really saved their own bacon when they revamped everything. The original might very well have been a good game, but I doubt it would have been anywhere near as good as what we actually got.

And now that I think about it, Rush of Blood ended up delivering on the Move side of things as well!

Kind of crazy to see what this game became.

That's what I was thinking. This trailer wasn't great, but you do see very rough ideas that later did appear in the final game. And the final game is GOTY material despite everyone's expectations. This just proves the rule, that you can't judge a project until it is done.

I'm actually sort of proud of the development team for toning back the 'sex in the woods' aspects. In my minds eye I imagine a board room meeting where some were arguing for more skin, but for whatever reasons I'm happy that didn't happen.

I'll give a silent thank you to all the people over all those years that believed in this game to keep it going. It was a rough journey from what I hear, but it was worth it.

But who is the real monster?

This looks like Poorly-Done Jump Scares: The Game.

First... Who thinks a view from a porch into a creepy, night-time, forest, snow-storm is "beautiful"

Second... Dose anyone else think she looks like a sex doll in the sex scene?

Dumb and "attractive" college age persons, kindly stop engaging in completely ridiculous adventures such as cabin trips, mountain hikes, cave spelunking or trips to foreign countries. You are dumb and then you die. If only your games or movies suffered the same fate.

Clearly the moose wants revenge for it fellow animals that have been carelessly murdered by man and is plotting to take over the world. Are you a bad enough dude to stop them? =)

A). That's some pretty impressive skinny lady-jeans tech they have there.

B). This just made me want a "Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil" game.

This trailer made me laugh so hard! I can't wait for the crew to do a quick look of this game. It's not every day that you get a horror game that is truly self serious like this.

Looks pretty neat but some of the character's walking animations looked terrible. Still, early days.

What is up with developers naming their game companies in terms of sizes? Epic MegaGames, Big Huge Games, Supergiant Games, Supermassive Games....... How come there are no Tiny Games? Wait, there probably are.

If this game doesn't feature a scene where the camera pans quickly forward along the ground as if a monster is hunting you, I will be thoroughly disappointed.

Could be a good horror game to dive into but with it being a PS3 move controller game it could go really bad like many of the other motion controller games out there.

Do you like robotic animation? Do you like implied sex? Do you like bad horror?

Regardless, I nearly throw up laughing every time I hear that PlayStation jingle. I can imagine some advertising agency being paid a billion bucks and given four years to develop the perfect brand identity for them, and they just get someone to say "BLING SPENCER" and drive it through a couple of guitar pedals using a cheap radio as an amp.

I can't tell if this game is going to be incredibly mediocre or just bad. I would still totally play it though.

Based on the first 30 seconds I was expecting something a little more Evil Dead. Which would have been good.

At least the trailer has A Nightmare on Elm Steet ending. It's got that going for it I guess.

I'm a big sucker for anything Alan Wake, Evil Dead, or The Thing. I'm the guy who's going to put Cabin In The Woods in his top three this year. This project seems to borrow from all of those things, so I'm sold, rough edges or not. I don't need all my games to be the best most polished thing I've ever seen. That's unreasonable.

My thought exactly ....on the feel of the game . I have to see how it play's though , before i will buy .

I was thinking "well at least it's from a good developer"... before I realised 'super massive games' != Super Giant Games.

Wow. talk about deceptive.

I cannot wait to play this. I love bad horror games just as much as I love bad horror movies. I hope the camp is off the charts in this game!

going by what they wrote on their website (Supermassive Games), your wish will be granted!

@Korolev said:

Looks like a crappy knock off of Alan Wake with an annoying NPC. Expect awful escort missions and exploitative schlock, combined with awful mechanics and a million jump scares!

weird, a friend of mine immediately brought up Alan Wake as well ... though aside from the woods, the cabin and the flashlight, there is literally nothing Alan Wake-y in there :)

Great games like art only come around very rarely. so you have to appreciate the mediocre. Will this game be good, don't know, will it be bad ,probably but if it's trying to creat a b movie vibe and the game play is isn't broken it could be a guilty pleasure. As for myself I miss the survival horror games and I would love them to come back. Theres been so few this generation and most of them have been vere action oriented with a few exception like the first dead space.

That wasn't really the point of Cabin in the Woods. It's like Cabin in the Woods in that there is a Cabin, and it's in the woods. They purposefully chose a cliche location for the movie to serve the actual plot of it. Cabin in the Woods is not really a horror movie.

Oh no joke huh, thanks for explaining it... hah, some people...
