‘Cosmic horror’ first-person shooter Quantum Error announced for PS5, PS4
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
The most enticing part about this right now is the marketing calling it Cosmic Horror.
Will judge when I see some actual gameplay, who knows what this'll be. I do however like the weapon being a regular over-the-counter looking design rather than some fantasy gun design, makes me wonder if it'll be pretty 'regular guy and place faces insane shit' like Silent Hill a bit.

The term 'Cosmic horror' seems to of just replaced 'horror' - if FEAR and DOOM3 came out nowadays would they be marketed as 'Cosmic horror'?
?? I'm not hearing it. Plus I'd be really surprised if they had the budget to hire Vincent D'Onofrio as they seem to be a very small indie team.
It doesn't sound like it in the heavily electronic part, but when it definitely has his cadence and drawl during the later sections.
Oh wow I would've never guessed it was going to be horror based on the trailer!
Meh... didn't feel much cosmic horror from this, looks more like zombie shooter #4345 from that clip.
The "gameplay" looks like a directed first person in-game cutscene.
This is what the gameplay would look like if the player was to do, move and look exactly where the developer wants them to at the correct time, and if it's VR, because that camera movement does not seem possible with anything else.
Generally not a fan of scary games.
Cosmic horror is one of the more interesting horrors though, I find.
What this trailer evokes for me is probably mostly Doom 3. Shotgun, flashlight, dark industrial facility, zombie demons.
Don't know how much cosmic horror there will really be, there's not really anything going on in this trailer.
They managed to make that door opening in the corridor a tense event. So that's good.
The design of the monsters is less good. Monster designs in a cosmic horror game should be weird, not zombies with red eyes. That's boring.
But who knows, they're not really trying to show the monsters here, so maybe they're WIP.

That, and the fact it's got combat, like good old survival horror. I'm so tired of all the run & hide horror games, and invincible stalkers.
That is exactly what got me psyched for a straight up Wal-Mart found shotgun design strangely enough. I can't stomach one more 'you're helpless so run away and hope unpredictably terrible AI doesn't see you trial-and-error attempt #3' type Horror game.
That being said, it still looks lame so ehhhh! Again, will need to see real gameplay, not this cutscene thing.
Gameplay?
The way the camera moved it seemed like a cg trailer, possibly VR maybe?
Either way that looked sick!
PS5 baby!

I hope it'll emphasize atmosphere over action though, and not end up being like Doom 3, which immediately came to my mind from the teaser. It at least looks like reloading takes time, so perhaps it'll have limitations like that, and ammo being scarce.
The intro video voiceover got me excited but looks pretty generic horror game. Hopefully it's less zombie shooting and more elder god making me go insane type stuff. Doesn't look particularly impressive for a next gen game either. Fantastic title for a game though.
I had to look at that for far longer than I should have before realising it didn't read that. Wondered what they were up to these days 😂
Looks like one of those initial next gen games that either never comes to fruition or is totally balls. Which is too bad since the concept is cool.
It looks pretty good, but I can't help but laugh at how that trailer hits a videogame fx checklist. It's like someone going "Water! Shadows! Flashlights! Reload animation! You guys like that shit, right?"
I do like that shit.
Nah gyro and M+KB have distinctly different movements
Gyro is like controller but a little jerkier

Yeah, definitely the vibe I got from it. Either vaporware or a very middling cross-gen game.
Which won't happen until late 2021/2022 imo (for third parties that is)
Generally Cosmic Horror, as opposed to just horror, refers to otherworldly/ cosmic/ inter dimensional threats that are far too alien and powerful for humans to understand, let alone fight with any hope of actually winning.
Good examples are Lovecraft books and anything "Cthulhu" related (often refered to as the creator of CH), Event Horizon, Annihilation, Dead Space, SOMA, Control / a lot of the SCP stuff...
Basically it is horror delving into Alien stuff but so far removed from human comprehension that it drives people to despair + insanity. Also delves quite often a bit into body horror, but not necessarily.
well they ain't achieving that if they want to use ray tracing
I wish, that'd be awesome. Unfortunately, I think we're gonna have to wait to PSVR2 before things like this start dropping.
