Love: First Trailer

Rock, Paper, Shotgun has an exclusive trailer of Eskil Steenberg’s impressionistic MMO game Love. Lovely visuals. It’s nice to finally see the characters roaming around and… fighting with one another! In the most beautiful way, of course.

And the music, by Ian Dorsch, fits perfectly, in my opinion.

(Thoinks, Kao!)

Ha! Movius your funny,. I agree though, having an actual ‘game’ built into the game may be a good thing,. shooting stuff is usually sorta’ fun, and in this case I suspect it will provide some grounding to the settlement building/exploration,. a reason to build defendable positions,. and work together with the others to servive. Balance of all his interesting intentions will be very important,. .

as everyone else said …the combat kind of ruined it for me. but it was generally awesome.

It’s too early to tell what this will be like, but who knows, it might be fun, and it doesn’t have to be ground breaking in every aspect.

Hehe, the combat gave me the same reaction. All those very atmospheric, abstract landscapes and suddenly.. Gunfire? Blood? Explosions? I won’t be jumping to conclusion, but at least in that video it looked very out of place.

I don’t think something like Blockland (build anything you like - and then if you like, use it as a battleground) would be too bad, but I am also still expecting something suitably abstract, like in The Endless Forest. But alright. Waiting, seeing.

i just hope they don’t plan on including the noisy/grainy effect of the video (i don’t mean the graphics, but the gritty flicker on top) in the final game. i find it quite straining to the eye …

The combat looked pretty rad. Shooting things, hiding in forts, killing some more things.

I’m pretty sure the combat it serves the purpose of “Something to do.” Those not on the true avant-garde cutting edge of artistic expression may not have heard of it, but a lot of game developers are starting to include this “Something to do” in their work to augment the true meta-agency of the actor’s experiences.

the world is amazingly beautiful, but yeah, there’s a pretty severe disconect with the world/art and the combat.

i thought this game was mostly going to be about walking around and making shit with friends.

I had the same reaction too about the combat, but on the other hand: just because I didn’t expect it, it also had something cool and original.

It’s like the bastard child of Quake and Van Gogh. Interesting….

The combat’s awful. I was expecting to see something more along the lines of Asian fantasy flicks, such as Hero or Flying Daggers.

The combat felt really out of place. It looks and sounds great though.

This looks quite solid in its current state, can’t wait to see how it actually plays.

Excellent! But guns and shooting? Maybe only the graphics / level design is innovative.
