Inside Xbox | Scorn Revealed (Ebb Software, Xbox Series X console exclusive)

[Deleted member 9035]

H. R. Giger's art has existed far longer than Alien.

Was this made with his permission?

 

[Nooblet]

I feel like some of the assets aren't just inspired from Giger but straight up lifted from Prometheus/Alien etc. Especially the large head statues, and parts of it look basically identical to the Engineer's cockpit.

He's dead now

 

[Zombine]

I enjoyed all of the gameplay that was revealed years ago. The shooting was a bit rough around the edges, but everything about it was uniquely Giger. Definitely looking forward to finally getting my hands on it.

 

[colorblindmode]

This was in development years ago and then disappeared right? They produced similar trailers and never gameplay or any evidence an actual game existed?

Click to shrink...

There was like a 20 minute playthrough of it. I think they probably found that this generation's hardware couldn't do what they wanted to do (everything is a gun? or something). Interested to see what it looks like now in actual gameplay.

 

[Dussck]

Re revealed. It's a weird FPS.
Some gameplay on Youtube allready

His estate then.

 

[Duffking]

Looked pretty bad when gameplay was shown before. And then this one basically has no gameplay. Huh.

 

[Jedi2016]

Nice to know this still exists.

And it's not based directly on Giger's art, only his style. Unless they can point to a specific painting that was copied, there's no licensing or permissions required.

 

[Vaizard]

it's a kickstarter game that never delivered. i'm surprised MS would show them off in this.

Click to shrink...

Ah ok; cheers for the info.

 

[Buff Beefbroth]

I've had Scorn on my Steam wishlist since 2017, lmao.

I'm a backer of their kickstarter from a million years ago. I'm surprised to see it featured here, I had basically written it off.

I played one of their early demos. Cool atmosphere, almost zero gameplay. Seemed to be mainly an environmental showcase. No idea how far the game has progressed since then, the dev does not really give meaningful updates. I think their last "hey I'm still alive" update was like 9 months ago. I hope being featured here means significant progress has been made.

It's very obviously inspired by the style of Giger. The whole thing is an homage to him. When I backed the project, it was mainly for artistic reasons.
But I hope by the time it releases they do manage to at least give it an engaging mystery/story to go along with those visuals. Cool environments can only take you so far. Hoping for the best!

 

[Tawpgun]

Fuck this looks creepy

 

[Mentalist]

Not only is it alive, but coming to Gamepass? Hype. Hopefully PC GamePass as well.

 

[Mukrab]

Cool. My interest in this game is still zero because I don't even know what genre it is.

 

[Crayon]

His estate then.

Click to shrink...

It's going for that style. The most they can do is not appreciiate the homage. I doubt even that, though. The resemblance is only superficial.

 

[DarkFlame92]

It certainly caught my attention and has my curiosity,need to see what it actually is though as a game to decide

 

[Graven]

Phallic H R Giger imagery intensifies.

Click to shrink...

Reminded me of Tormentum: Dark Sorrow, which is based on his works also.

Click to shrink...

To me it looked close enough to be almost literally copied.

 

[dancingcactus]

Not very inspiring at all with the art style that's been seen in the Alien franchise.

 

[What-ok]

Daddy likes.

 

[Jmdajr]

I love Aliens and that dudes art, but too weird for me.

Whatever this is.

 

[DC5remy]

I saw a penis like thing coming out and bailed 🥺

 

[MysticGon]

Legitimately thought this was an Alien / Prometheus game until the end title card.

Click to shrink...

Yup someone watch those movies and thought hmmm. Great place to draw inspiration. HR Giger'so is great.

 

[Jedi2016]

Come on, people. This game isn't new. There's zero chance that Giger and his estate didn't know about it. If anyone had any issues with it, they would have said something years ago.

 

[leburn98]

I always got Scorn confused with that awful Agony game released a few years ago. Hopefully Scorn is way better of a game.

 

[secretanchitman]

that was definitely full of odd forms and somber tapestry

Click to shrink...

Lol, the game does genuinely look creepy which is cool though!

 

[xir]

darkseed 3 looking good

 

[Daniel Westlake]

Oh hey! That game that's never coming out

 

[DukeBlueBall]

Somethings look intentionally disgusting. 🤮

 

[ChaosXVI]

This game's art is amazing, even if it rips Geiger off so hard that it's practically begging for a lawsuit. It's not even remotely subtle, but fuck if it don't look good.

 

[HiLife]

I forgot I knew about this game and while the lore and aesthetics look interesting I don't think I really cared for the gameplay from 2 years ago.

 

[Stinkles]

Those tapestries are some of the most somber I've ever seen.

Click to shrink...

OK I'm activating a counter for these. I guess you could call it a... Geiger Counter...


The animation on some of these things was legitimately unsettling. I think they're doing something extremely cool with this aesthetic.

I don't think it's a ripoff because it's so obviously aware of that - it's homage and exploration of what Geiger's visuals could have meant in a real universe. Frankly I'd love to see someone do that with MC Escher too (monument valley notwithstanding)

 

[Philippo]

Next-gen odd forms and somber tapestry

 

[Silvergun-Blue]

Cool. My interest in this game is still zero because I don't even know what genre it is.

Click to shrink...

It's a "That's a penis" simulator.

 

[Spinky]

I've had this wishlisted on Steam for like two years and thought it was dead.

 

[Jedi2016]

It's a "That's a penis" simulator.

Click to shrink...

Even the modders are like "Yeah, I don't know what the fuck to do with this game..."

 

[Bishop89]

Why does this look and sound so familiar.

Ohhhhh right, this game
Yeh this looks great.

Quite a few horror games from this xbox event

 

[Lockheartilly9799]

I need to be BONKED cuz it kinda got me horny.

 

[jroc74]

I always got Scorn confused with that awful Agony game released a few years ago. Hopefully Scorn is way better of a game.

Click to shrink...

Same, lol. Scorn at least looks like the gameplay is better.

 

[JigglesBunny]

This is the almost the only thing they showed that I actually really cared about. Giger design is a mainline to my heart.

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

This will probably never become a full or good game, but the artstyle is something...

 

[El-Suave]

I switched to the EZA channel for their reactions and it took them a bit to realize it's Scorn. Pretty subdued reaction, the trailer didn't offer much though.

 

[lasthope106]

That was one of the best things I've seen in a long ass time. It delivered more Geiger than Prometheus and Covenant combined. Not sure if the game will turn out good, but the trailer stands alone as phenomenal.

 

[Gundam]

I was disappointed that it wasn't Prometheus. There's influence, and then there's whatever this is. Like, specifically Alien/Prometheus, not just Geiger.

Looks cool though. but yeah, this ain't gameplay Bill Spencer

 

[TheGummyBear]

I was excited for Scorn back in the day. I'm glad to see that it still exists. If that was all gameplay engine then this is going to be a grotesque treat for weirdos like me.

 

[Mad_Rhetoric]

OMG it's back!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS is the "Alien-prequel" we deserve, not shitty prometheus. (I know its not alien-related, but it def looks like it could be the space jockey/xeno homeworld.)

 

[Deleted member 51248]

Love Giger's work, great to see this game heavily influenced by it still going, seems to be leaning heavier into it than any of the Alien sequels/prequels .

 

[Gordon's Tulpa]

Love the atmosphere, even when it's a very direct 'homage' to Giger. Love the soundtrack too, Roly Porter?

 

[hombremalo]

Hope Giger family is getting some money from this

 

[Arukado]

This game is now exclusive to Xbox Series X at launch, whatever that means for other platforms.
