KickStarter Prey for the Gods, Shadow of the Colossus-inspired game by No Matter Studios

[---]

Here's an interesting project, Prey for the Gods. It's a game - developed by No Matter Studios - heavily inspired on the PS2 classic Shadow of the Colossus (so we can expect exploration just for the sake of seeing new places and environments, though boss fights etc...).

In Prey for the Gods, you play a lone hero sent to the edge of a dying world to discover the mystery behind a never-ending winter. Arriving with only the clothes on your back, you must survive the colossal dangers that you encounter. To restore balance and reclaim the land from the brink, you will be faced with questions that not even a God knows the answer to.

They ask for 300k, and there are a lot of additional stretch goals (especially more boss fights).

Spoiler

They have also two great "sponsor" like Brian Fargo and Cliff Bleszinski.
Here you can find more information about the campaign.

Someone tell me it's shit because it actually looks pretty good.

 

[Excidium II]

Girl protagonis with giant enemies make for good r34.

It really seems good, but... don't you guys think that the amount of money requested is a bit too little?
Probably they have a "secret" deal with a publisher

Belly distortion is a shit fetish

Oh, the engine is Unity, of course

Well it's inspired by absolute garbage, so it's got that going against it.

 

[orcinator]

was this stated to be a kickstarter back when it was first revealed?

 

[Viata]

Too cheap for what they are making.

 

[BobtheTree]

This looks quite good. Probably won't back it, though, especially since getting the title is steeper than most kickstarters.

Prey for the Gods ambitiously combines the game play of ... Deus Ex ...

Huh. What?

 

[Scroo]

Neato, this looks pretty nice, I really liked Shadow of the Colossus. Altho I felt like a monster for killing the giants

300k seems a bit low tho? And Unity urgh.

Don't worry, it's surely the new wrong Deus Ex.

100k!

It seems that only three people are working on the game

 

[Forest Dweller]

Was about to post about this. I liked Shadow of the Colossus. I hope they get the console stretch goal since it (like Shadow of the Colossus) looks like it'd be better to play on a console.

 

[HoboForEternity]

wow, this looks good

just play with a damn controller

 

[Forest Dweller]

Why buy a controller for the PC if you already have a console?

It's hard for me to imagine SotC without the rumbling of the controller -- that seemed like a pretty integral feature. I like the creature designs, but still, this seems quite derivative. Part of the genius of SotC lay in its novelty. Even assuming a game that successfully duplicated the visual designs and excellent (to my memory) controls, it's hard to imagine it having anything like the same impact. Still, I'll back it if I can remember my Kickstarter password.

 

[sullynathan]

I'll stick with the last guardian

 

[praetor]

obvious ripoff is way too obvious. while i love SotC, this won't get a penny of mine because of the blatant copypasting

 

[Perkel]

SoTC worked not because of boss battles but because of whole package.

Weird story, sudo-exploration, amazing art style, absolutely amazing OST, Wanderer Agro romance, and kind of OOT aproach to game design.

Each boss felt more like puzzle than boss fight and each and everyone managed to get hat : What the fuck ? How should i even fight it ?

 

[Gerrard]

Will it run at 20FPS though? To preserve that nostalgic feeling.

With those graphics, in my current PC? Yeah, about there.
