Clockwork Revolution - inXile's steampunk time travel first-person action-RPG led by Chad Moore and Jason Anderson

[bobocrunch]

shocked that these 2 steampunkwhatever games working off victorian motifs are similar

The stealing culture and technology through science-fuckery bit was also from Bioshock, just replace time-travel with dimension hopping.

Faran Brygo: "No clueless Suit is going to infringe on my hardcore RPG visions."

~microsoft aquisition~

"FUCK YOU I HAVE XBOX MONEY REMAKE A CONSOLE GAME FROM TEN YEARS AGO!"

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Funny that InXile is allowed to make a crazy time travel steampunk RPG while Obsidian will spend the next ~5 years shoveling out mediocre Skyrim derivatives.

Someone at Microsoft clearly recognizes the differing qualities of InXile and Obsidian.

Infinite xshit money from a Microsoft game studios desperately trying to stay relevant, and this is what they come up with.

Arcanum meets Chrono Trigger? I mean sure, you can go on record scoffing at that as an unworthy idea.

Yeah I admit this does sound interesting, but we'll see.

 

[Forest Dweller]

It's funny, this small it looks like his avatar is a guy fucking someone over a table.

 

[Tyranicon]

I think this has a chance of being good, but I know that's too much to hope for.

Goddamn InXile, you're really going to compete with a console game that came out a decade ago.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Steamshock Finite?

 

[Darkozric]

Is this the new Doctor Who? I can hear the music in the background.

 

[Fedora Master]

This is why you should never give a fuck about Big Name Developers. Especially those that had a bit of luck 20 years ago.

 

[Ryzer]

I'm baffled they don't get sued yet. This is a complete ripoff of Bioshock without a shred of originality.

Nah it's the new edition of the Joker by Netflix.

 

[Fargus]

At least it's not Arcanum 2. *breath of relief*

Let them make whatever degenerate steampunk turd with niggers and trannies they want. Nobody will remember it after a few years. Even better if it flops hard.

It's Arcanum with guns (_?)

No, it's Arcanum with swords!

 

[HeatEXTEND]

This looks good. Xbox heavy on the RPGs.

"RPGs"

Arcanum without magic.

RPG games.

 

[Lagole Gon]

This looks dangerously close to Bioshlock: Infinity. Not a fan.

I wonder how the clockwork robots work. Magic? Or maybe they will never adress it, like always.
Remember Syberia games? "Here's a setting in not-quite-our-world. Here's a sentient clockwork robot sidekick. No, we will never explain how it works. We will never discuss it. Please, get excited about mammoths instead."

 

[Delterius]

Goddamn InXile, you're really going to compete with a console game that came out a decade ago.

they should wait 10 more years, the release window is not yet PERFECT

 

[Alienman]

Why must everything look so cartoony with oversaturated colors? I don't need top realism, but why not use natural lighting at least to make the world more believable? Every game presented so far has this fakeness to it. Maybe it's the fault of the Unreal engine, I don't know.

 

[Ryzer]

By the way the trailer showed no RPG system to speak of. Simply nothing.

The Felipe take https://twitter.com/felipepepe/status/1668121799064981505

Unsure how much is imitation, how much is just the limits of mainstream Steampunk aesthetics. A lot of Clockwork Revolution also looks like Dishonored.

IMHO, what really stands out in this comparison is how BioShock's art direction is far more interesting and coherent.

Considering what an utterly wasteful perfectionist tyrant Levine was about it, Infinite damn well ought to look significantly better. A lot of people toiled over that art.

 

[MartinK]

Steampunk + timetravel. One chance to make steampunk right! No cogshit, real science and real technology and the hands of 19th century barbarians. That could give us an oportunity for some real exploration! Which pieces of victorian society and aesthetics were geniune choices and which were born out of the technological limitations of the time. But instead we get the same crap as always.
