Hydrophobia looks Gorgeous – Despite the Disaster

ResumePlay: The world of Hydrophobia is a bleak one, as ResumePlay reported a few weeks ago in their brief preview of the game. Overpopulation has drained humanity's resources, leaving most of the world hungry and poor. But onboard the Queen of the World, a massive ocean-liner full of Earth's upper class, you'd think it were paradise. Check out these gorgeous new art images and screens of the Xbox-exclusive. Can you believe this is a downloadable game?

This game is looking so damn good.

HolyOrangeCows5153d ago

The ARTWORK looks "gorgeous" but the screenshots look decent.

I want to know how the gameplay is.

DelbertGrady5153d ago (Edited 5152d ago )

I'm pretty sure you will think it's mediocre no matter how it turns out.

HolyOrangeCows5152d ago

And you'll praise it as the second coming no matter how it turns out.
Curse me for wanting to know about the gameplay.

Godmars2905152d ago

Are you saying that because of what you're seeing of the above deck pics, which seem to be concept art?

Given that this is a DLC-only title, its going to be interesting to see if they do do anything playable except in ship corridors.

This does not look damn good no matter how you look at it.

It's hard to believe this is a XBLA game

dangert125153d ago

xbox live games are changing

HolyOrangeCows5153d ago

I have a feeling that the length of the game will end up having us believe.

SKGamer5152d ago

If it's an XBLA game, it'll be between $10-20. And honestly, at that price, I really won't care how long it is. If the gameplay is good, and the graphics get close to those art renders, I'll be very happy. And the graphics look pretty good already, even though its still a ways from launch. I'm not sure why you seem pessimistic about this game.

HolyOrangeCows5152d ago (Edited 5152d ago )

I want to see gameplay, I think it will be shorter than a retail disc game (Like most Downloadable games), and I'm not as impressed as the author with the graphics.
Oh yeah, look at me being Mr. Pessimist. pfft.

"If...the graphics get close to those art renders"
And their screenshots suggest not:

(I hope they do something about those water textures...)

Again, I'm interested in gameplay, but I disagree with the article and think it will be about the same length as we often see downloadable games at.

Godmars2905152d ago

MS pretty much had to step up the quality of XBL titles since they were getting criticized for it. Notice that Shadow Complex ended that complaint, but then how long had XBL been up and offering games before then?

XRider5152d ago

Here is some gameplay HolyOrangeCows http://n4g.com/xbox360/News... now stop trolling please you're not good at it.

Godmars2905152d ago

Learn the difference between a trailer and gameplay please.

FragMnTagM5151d ago

Learn to not be an ass. It is a trailer, yes, but it has a lot of gameplay in it.

You got the looks so now all you got to do is walk the walk.

SKGamer5153d ago

The early previews I saw of people who played it at PAX were good. I'm very hopeful that this pans out.

Its been compared to BioShock lately, partially due to the setting. I'd be surprised if it turned out that good, I mean BioShock was a beast, but it sounds like it'll be pretty sweet for a download game. I mean it looks like that and it'll probably only be $10-20? I'm game for that.

unknownhero11235152d ago

after playing raw danger and disaster report, I'm getting hooked on disaster games. I hope this turns out to be a great game.

AngryTypingGuy5153d ago

Wow, that game looks good by disc standards! It's hard to believe that you download it!

SKGamer5153d ago

Yeah, that's what I thought. Only other downloadable game I've seen that looked this good and this detailed was Shadow Complex, but granted that was kind of a 2D game.

TOO PAWNED5153d ago

Yeah let's ignore "games on demand".
Just another outdated looking game on 360, 360 fanboys are insane, look at this junk, like PS2 game

mrv3215152d ago

It looks outstanding, but best... downloadable game even on consoles is pushing it. Games on demand, PSN offers full games to.

AngryTypingGuy5152d ago

Yeah, you can download full games on the 360 too, let's not forget. Maybe I should rephrase that for you anal idiots out there: for a game created specifically for download, it looks incredible!

mrv3215152d ago

Warhawk looks good... but I'm in a monority.

Flower looks great.

SKGamer5152d ago (Edited 5152d ago )

The whole "Games on Demand" argument is pretty pointless guys, seeing as those were originally retail games that were just available elsewhere later on. And downloadable stuff on PC, like Steam, is also a different situation. Clearly I was talking about XBLA/PSN indie games and the like, games that are designed to be download only cheaper games.

It looks good so far. But we'll all know for sure later this year if it comes out.

Graphics look good, I'm more impressed with water physics and I hope they don't disappoint when the game finally comes out.

What a surprise, I was just searching for this game. I'm honestly quite surprised by the water physics and definitely looking forward to trying it soon.

I Play Bad Games (On Purpose)

Escapist: Hey, I knew what I was doing. I can't claim ignorance, and I'll never claim innocence. Someone offered me a preview copy of Ninja Gaiden 3, so I took it, fully aware that it sucked. I played the demo at E3. I spoke to people whose opinions I trusted. I listened to my razor-sharp instincts and my not-so-sharp gut. Lo and behold, every single warning sign turned out to be dead on. Ninja Gaiden 3 is a travesty.

But I don't regret playing it for a moment, because I occasionally play bad videogames. On purpose. And so should you.

I can almost always find a reason to play any game. Too many people today just want to say negative things about games, but there is almost always something worthwhile in any game to me.

PoSTedUP4284d ago

i look at gameplay videos on youtube and decide from there, no more reviews for me. if i see a game i like, i usually end up enjoying it and don't notice ANY of the the horrible Flaws that a review would point out simply because they are not brought to my attention. so i can't say "oh that guy was right it does seem kinda ______... and it is a little _______..." nope. 100% fun in almost all games for me.

Hellsvacancy4284d ago (Edited 4284d ago )

Warhammer 40k would be labelled as a crappy type game, i labelled it that ages ago when i saw afew screenshots for it and a trailer "looks like rubbish"

And it is, but i cant stop playing it, the voice acting is awesome http://www.youtube.com/watc... thats enough to warrant a playthrough on normal

Its pretty straight forward, run and shoot, hack/slash, its got a cool story/characters, big online community (never have any problems getting into some co-op)

If it wasnt released on PS+ i doubt i would of played it, im REALLY grateful i didnt miss it, because i would of done otherwise

I recommend it, if your looking for a pretty basic game with nothing to think about, just fun

MattyG4284d ago

I just started playing it yesterday and its much better than I thought. It looks good and its really fun. That's all I need.
