I shall shoot at you from the perspective of being the character in the game world.

While I really should write up my impressions of everything I played at the New York Comic Con, this will tide us over until the jetlag has abated. Anyway, the demo of The Farm 51’s WW1… but with undead has gone live. Hmm. WW1 with Undead sounds like some of the bits of the Darkness, when I phrase it like that, but it seems far closer to something like Painkiller in its cut-to-the-bone action and general hyperbolic tone. Anyway – it’s about a gig and you can get it from here. Also: “Set in 1917, the Great War has been raging for two long years and new recruit Simon Bukner, a US Army soldier, is the latest to face the harsh realities of war.” Three years, surely? Anyway, I suspect this is the least of the historical inaccuracies, y’know? Video follows.

Yes, that’s definitely some shooting in the first person.

    Nice long demo. Aside from long loading times, the game runs well enough and the motion blur makes low framerates playable. Weapon select UI seems kind of weird.

    Regenerating health almost ruins the challenge, just gotta stop being a pansy and hiding behind cover while the health bar comes back up.

    Cool game though. Love the doom style of gameplay. Enemies thrown at you from all over the place. Faster pace and more intense than most shooters today. Fun weapons. No discernible story as far as I can tell. Stats up at the end of the level telling you how many secrets you found and missed.

    Could be scarier and harder I guess. All you need to do is get through 1 portion at a time and you’ll regenerate + find enough health.
