After Bloober Crew’s glorious Silent Hill 2 remake, I’m keen to present the developer the advantage of the doubt in terms of its model of horror video games. It actually helps that its subsequent effort, Cronos: The New Daybreak, appears to be like unbelievable and is giving off gory Useless Area vibes.
Cronos: The New Daybreak co-directors Wojciech Piejko and Jacek Zięba make their inspirations fairly express in a brand new take a look at the sci-fi survival horror sport. Cronos attracts on John Carpenter’s The Factor, German TV collection Darkish, and Terry Gilliam’s 12 Monkeys for inspiration, the duo say, in addition to video games like Useless Area and Darkish Souls. Cronos shares some acquainted attributes from Useless Area, together with terrifying human mutations as enemies, an over-the-shoulder taking pictures perspective, and a limb-severing mechanic — although Piejko says Bloober Crew is taking a unique strategy to dismemberment than Visceral Video games did.
In a follow-up to a cinematic reveal trailer for Cronos: The New Daybreak launched final October, Piejko and Zięba confirmed off some gameplay in a brand new dev diary Bloober Crew launched Thursday. The pair clarify how protagonist the Traveller, who they liken to a deep-sea diver who plunges into the depths of time, is distributed into the ruins of human civilization to extract survivors. The alternate-reality world of Cronos has been ravaged by an occasion referred to as the Change, which within the sport’s fiction, destroyed our world within the Nineteen Eighties.
Piejko and Zięba beforehand labored on Bloober Crew’s Observer and The Medium, so that they have loads of expertise with sci-fi and psychological horror. Cronos: The New Daybreak is an unique property for Bloober, which can be engaged on a follow-up with Konami.
