Face Noir - new adventure game!

Ascovel · 10-23-2008, 02:45 AM

At GameBoomers I've found about this recently announced title: http://www.facenoir.com developed by a small Italian team. From the looks of it it is heavily inspired by The Maltese Falcon and it should have plenty of atmosphere.

Judging by the four screenshots it looks very good.
And the story is awesome

AndreaDraco83 · 10-23-2008, 05:01 AM

I definitely love the mood, and I give the developers my best wishes!

Drat! Point-n-Click interface. Come on somebody, take a chance, make a good game with direct control.

Aw, come on... point & click games are a rarity in the world today... I would say, that in this console generation, there's more than enough direct control games already. Just browse the console games. I think anyway, that direct control with PC is frustrating combination.

YES! 2.5D, point-n-click, woohoo. I´m very interested

Looks like my type of adventure game. The style's slightly reminiscent of some Sinking Island screenshots I've seen.

That looks like a very stylish and interesting game. I hope the story and the production values live up to the promise.

Looks great. I'll take 2.5 for that experience. Don't like the music on the site, though. Needs more sexy atmosphere and pathos.

JackVanian · 10-30-2008, 05:51 PM

Good you mention the music, when i was on the site, i had my boxes turned off.

I gotta say that i really love the music and i think its exactly what i would want from somethin in the stlye of Film Noir. I´ll definetely follow this game with great interest.

Now, that the main character looks exactly like Humphrey Bogart, it would be awesome to have a voice actor who kind of goes in the same voice direction Bogey did. Imagine that, combined with some really cool oldschool Bogey-like dialogues, wow...

Romer · 10-30-2008, 06:00 PM

Naaa, we don't need a Bogey imitator (99.9% are horrible). Just a voice that is hardboiled with a heart and appreciation of irony.

You really liked that music? It had no melodrama. I grew up with that stuff. Still, I'll put up with the music (which wasn't terminal) because the rest looks marvelous.

Do we have an approximate release date yet?

I don´t know any Bogey (voice) imitators, but yeah your definition of voice acting would do the job perfectly.

As far as the release date goes: The AG- Face Noir section mentions a scheduled release in late 2009.

Indeed a perfect definition, Romer.

I can't wait to see the supporting characters!
