Now, it's giving filmmakers Blue Omega a chance to make their first game, based on their competition runner-up Damnation: Hell Breaks Loose. Damnation (no subtitle) is a retro-futuristic acrobatic steampunk megablast that's claiming to "take the shooter vertical". Whatever that means.
We're used to vertical play in terms of having to watch out for guys upstairs, but Damnation is promising (boldly, perhaps) to take this to the next level, being set over huge levels that "could take three hours to climb to the top, in real time"."
We don’t finish it, but we’re finished with it.
We feel pretty damned in this steampunk shooter.
This Week on Digital Fiasco: Gearing up for PSX 2016, Duke Nukem (Who wants some?), Nintendo quashes VGA nominations for fan games, Square-Enix hates sharing. Also we take No Man’s Sky down to the Foundation, and talk about the new 1.1 patch and the end of Sean Murray’s long silence, but first, we discuss being buried under our backlogs on Black Friday. All of that and more on this episode of Digital Fiasco.
