Arkane is doing a game about a time loop. Not much info about it so far, but the trailer is incredible. Given what an incredible job Arkane did with the Dishonored series and Prey, I am really hyped for this.

Arkane really loves their coastal/island towns that are really fucked up under the surface don't they.

Also, love the VA of the protag.

Here's the version with the thumbnail. I don't know about you guys, but I'm intrigued about this pulpy action schlock.

I'm one hundred percent in for this one. Arkane's done some amazing stuff and the style of this one is wholly unique.

Also loading that nailgun is just sexy.

You are not alone.

You know, I'd actually forgotten about this game.

Then I watched the new trailer and was like "How the fork could you forget about this game?!"

This game looks great. Looks like Dishonored gameplay coupled with even more style.

Looks like they're expanding on ideas from Prey: Mooncrash, like learning how to navigate and manipulate the world more efficiently with each run.

Though in Mooncrash, things that were done by one character persisted for the rest during a run, along with characters getting permanent upgrades, so I wouldn't be surprised if loop-proof elements show up here as well.

They certainly have to come up with a few very good explanations as to why e.g. the main character is supposed to have a persistent memory, while other characters apparently do not.

That said, I'm also happy to see that the game doesn't take itself a hundred percent seriously this time around. There's some strong NOLF vibes in the presentation and voice acting.

Wait, by sabotaging the experiment, doesn't he spend just as much time as it takes to murder one of the visionaries? If he wants to be efficient he has to gather at least three of them in one manipulation.

The first time around he kills Egor during the evening and then he doesn't have enought time to reach Aleksis but he sabotages the experiment in the morning. It's possible that Egor isn't reachable at the time of the experiment for some reason or that he was doing something else at the time. The point isn't to find the most time-optimal path it's to manipulate the targets so that they are in position to be killed in time.

New trailer has been released during State of Play, three days ago.

Also, here's another trailer that reveals more details about gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CLgXXlYBk8

On unrelated note, this song is insanely good. I've been listening to it on the repeat for almost two days now

I guess you mean The Operative: No One Lives Forever? Because that sounds like it has a lot in common with Deathloop, and this is the first I hear of No One Lives Forever.

Something I always wonder with this kind of game that expects you to die a lot because of a time-loop is what would happen if someone finished the game in one shot...

WMG: Deathloop happens about a century after Death of the Outsider, and the visionaries want to take the Outsider's place as the Void's deity. In the meantime, the Void continues to mess with the main dimension, and Blackreef's time anomaly is the result of an attempt to draw power from the Void.

Maybe you should spoiler that? Because it seems to be referring to a different game that not everyone has played...

The game is literally called "Death of the Outsider". You're spoiled as soon as you even hear of that game.

Calling it now: One of the endings involves tuning down the loop's reset interval to a few seconds and then nuking the town, so everyone inside gets roasted alive forever.

Deathloop comes out this coming week.

I got it off steam and I'm looking to stream it come Tuesday.

Anyone else starting their loops?

Gonna start playing as soon as it unlocks. Haven't been this excited for a game in quite some time.

Just began playing on my PS 5. I'm having a good time with it so far, but the marketing made it look like a time-driven roguelike with Dark Souls-esque multiplayer when it's actually more of a linear experience than Prey or Dishonored 2. It's been fun to experiment with the game, but I'm not sure if Bethesda knew how to market this game since it hasn't matched what I was expecting from this title.

The beginning is strictly linear, but after the first chapter it becomes mostly do-whatever-you-want freeform. It's still more Dishonored rather than PREY in structure, but you aren't bound to completing every map in one sitting before being locked out.

Bethesda's Marketing was fucking garbage for this game.

Too many trailers that didn't really explain the game to well, or maybe even might have OVER explained the game, at that, without being clear enough about what the game is.

I'm sure its a great game, but one who's marketing feels poorly handled.
