Wow. Not only is the camera awful, but the action is completely bereft of physicality. Dude stands and plays firing animation. Alien stands opposite and plays “flail limbs attack” animation. Repeat until one falls over. Even MMORPGs can do better than that these days.

I don’t hate the camera, I just hate that guy standing in front of it.

Why is everyone hating on the camera?

Not scary. The action seems uninspired, and the bugger standing to the left of the camera is just bad design.

I’d be interested if only there was something interesting about it.

No game for me. Don’t like the camera, the gameplay, in fact I think I don’t like anything at all about it.

Uhm, where exactly is the horror here?

As far as I can tell it’s trying to see the left half of the screen.

“Hopefully that’ll change in the game.”

Fact.

When game is about to hit in four months, there won’t be any changes. Focus is on bug squashing, balancing and polishing.

At least in the normal developement world.

I didn’t actually mind the third-person thing, for shooting. The only worry I’ve got is that, especially in the Zero-G environments, it “Looking around” seems like it’s probably a function of turning your slowly moving character about, which makes having a good view of the room a little difficult. This might enhance the horror a LITTLE, as you’re moving around in a bit of a clunky suit and know that shit could be creeping up behind you . . . but I’d probably have to play it before I can make a proper judgement.

Hopefully that’ll change in the game.
Looks positively unpleasent. I hope we get more exploring to do than shooting though. Shouldn’t get my hopes up probably, and not mistake this for a “-Shock” game, but still… Exploring + Horror = Me very, very pleased.
