>>111253693>So what's everyone's impression of Downpour?I might be one of the two persons on this planet to actually be really looking forward to it. Not because of the trailers, but because what the devs have said themselves during interviews:
-All original designs of... pretty much everything, SH2 working as the main source of inspiration atmosphere-wise.
-So no titty-Nurses, no PH waltzing around, no simple "shit gets rusty" -transitions and replaying the areas like in older games...
-Change to defend yourself, but fighting is again discouraged, thanks to rare ammo and breaking melee weapons.
-Devs are European. The best horror titles of last decade came from Europe (AoM, Penumbras, Amnesia...)
>Is it worth getting excited for, at all?I am, carefully though. Silent Hills after the 4th did go to shitter and fast, the upcoming Book Of Memories is a joke already ... comped to them, Downpour has this nostalgic aura around it. It reminds me of SH4, mood-wise that is.
