Hi, we’re Dan, Harry, and Josh. We’d love to introduce you to our new game, Calvino Noir. It’s a film noir stealth adventure, and it’s coming to PS4.
The beautiful history of noir cinema is a big inspiration — that’s where we’ve drawn ideas for the look and story of the game. The classic film noir plot and characters are there, but in our own format, which is more closely inspired by films such as Bladerunner, and games such as Deus Ex.
EB: Visually this game feels a bit like This War of Mine, albeit with much less depression and despair. It features a 2D side-scrolling presentation with stark black and white visuals with dollhouse style buildings (one side cut out so you can see in) to explore. In terms of gameplay Calvino Noir features a mix of stealth and puzzle solving mechanics as you investigate a mystery that is very noir.
Analysis of archetypal story genres and how video games incorporate them. Uses FMV game Contradiction and 2D stealth game Calvino Noir as examples.
Welcome back to our monthly installment where we give you the three best and three worst games of the previous month. If you’re curious what to pick up and what to avoid then look no further.
I can't believe you could narrow it down to just 3 good games, and it was only september. October and November are gonna be NUTS.
I think MGS was not a very good game, and I've beat every other MGS game. I just couldn't get into it.
It looks nice.
I am so glad that there are many types of games this gen with hundreds of varieties for everyone to enjoy. I think this gen will be amazing in the years to come.
This makes me want a new sabateur.
WWI now that's cool, so many areas you could really branch the story in such a time, also with canvas wood covered planes where the 1st plane downed in air war plane vs plane was because of a boat anchor!
Red Barron's red tri plane, where French spad17, and trench warfare with tanks the looked so outrageous, and the start of blimps being a main way to air transport..lol
Game based on the classic movie shout @ the devil..
roger Moore and Lee Marvin..that was a fantastic movie
Looks really good.
