What Is Firewatch?

Loooooove the art style. Can't wait to see more from this game.

I heard there is a ghost in this game.

I'll play anything made by these guys, and this looks awesome so far.

There definitely was a GH:OST in Gone Home!

Voice acting is meh.

I have no idea what this is, but it's the exact kind of 'I have no idea what this is' that's extremely intriguing to me.

GOD DAMN it's pretty!

Looks awsome

I am pretty sure it's Rich Sommer (from Mad Men and well for me at least, Never Not Funny) that's doing the voice for the main character which is kinda cool. Oh this also totally feels like it could be some sort of backstory for the parents in Gone Home. Looks gorgeous as well, looking forward to seeing more of it.

So back in 1989...

I love Olly's artwork but I didn't like the Walking Dead or Mark of the Ninja nearly as much as most. So despite being a "super-team" for some they are "unproven team" to me.

It looks beautiful but my interest will remain level until I find out more about how it plays.

Also... not totally sold on the Wreck-It Ralph arms.

I can't wait to play this game that is a ghost game with ghosts in it.

Well, in 1989...

Woo, I'm so hyped for this game I got the poster :D Really looking forward to it next year. If all it is is walking around in this beautiful environment that'll be enough for me.

Olly's art in motion had me sold from the moment I heard about this, the fact that the gameplay and story has me super intrigued is just icing on the cake.

@devoureroftime: @ahgunsillyo: What is Firewatch?!!?!?! Go on.

This looks awesome, I'm onboard!

Yeah, it looks interesting, but I'm not sold yet. And those arms are ridiculous.

Oh man really looking forward to this. The art style kinda reminds me of Team Fortress 2. Think its that kind of pastel look.

The demo they showed at their PAX panel was very promising and definitely put the game on my radar.

i heard there was a frankenstein.

There better be some damn fire fighting in this game.

I really, really like everything I've seen about this game so far, except those arms. They are pretty ridiculous.

@larsa: No no no...Wrong game. There is a Fire Witch in this one.

It may not be fair, but I can tell I'm going to get this and Firefall mixed up a lot. Sucks for Firewatch.

It's the year 1989...

Yeah, it kind of seemed a little off to me. Like the timing was strange or something. And the dialogue seemed like they're writing around a mystery they haven't quite mapped out properly or something? I don't know how to put it.

Also, if they're talking on a radio, wouldn't there be static sounds, and wouldn't they not be able to interrupt each other? Or are full-duplex radios like this common?

It looks nice, but I'm not sure it comes together as a whole for me just yet. Need to see it in action.

I have high hopes for this one.

So this is just the trailer that surfaced everywhere else on the weekend? I thought the headline suggested something more in depth. :-/

Looks great, I am intrigued.

Oh Im playing this!

I'd like to see more of this game.

...a videogame the name of which you forget before you even finished reading it?

In 1989.....

@felixculpa: Happy that I'm not the only one to notice Rich, through those 2 vectors. It's really great to see the Never Not Funny Malaysian Airline correspondent in a cool looking game.

Firewatch With Me

It's a MOBA

I thought this was going to be more of an Indie thing, more 'basic'.

This looks great, I went from passive interest to eagerly awaiting.

I am intrigued. This could be neat. :)

...people thought they were being clever by referencing the year after a big forest fire in Yellowstone?

All I saw in that trailer was walking?

Looking forward to seeing more from this!

Put me in the same boat. Like everything so far, except...the hell is up wit dose arms, man.

"It's a MOBA"

Is it just another narrative exploration thing like Gone Home or are there more formal game play elements in it? It's fine either way, I just don't find the former particularly interesting for me personally. The trailer doesn't really indicate one way or the other.

I was born in 1989, does that count?

This looks excellent; having played a fair bit of Eidolon I'm up for more "wondering around forests" games. The lady sounds like the mission commander in the Director's Cut of Q.U.B.E.

Interrupting someone on a radio is a bit weird depending on the radio. It's certainly possible. It just might work in different ways depending on the radios and the situation.

That said, more radio sounds would be nice. Distortion on her voice and some clicks and beeps on your end would add a lot.

I dunno, it looks pretty clear that there are more mechanics at least than Gone Home, although if you don't consider what was in this trailer as proof of that, it's probably not the kind of mechanics you're looking for. This game seems to be a lot more interactive than Gone Home. Where as Gone Home felt like wandering around finding a story that was left behind, this looks like it'll be moving through and even creating a story as it progresses.

@flacracker: Voice acting is okay, lines are bad.
