Four new screenshots from Still Life on IGN

VoodooFX · 01-18-2005, 12:05 PM

IGN has put 4 new screenshots from Still Life on display.

Don't remember seeing these anywhere else before, so sorry if they have been posted already.

Wow, an avatar that EMOTES. Or appears to.

At last, I've got real high hopes for this one. More so than before.

Intrepid Homoludens · 01-18-2005, 01:25 PM

I really hope the whole look, feel, and general art direction of Still Life will be as unforgiving as possible. Know what I mean?

Catbert · 01-18-2005, 02:49 PM

Looks nice, when's it coming out? If it's creepy enough, I might get it.

squarejawhero · 01-18-2005, 03:09 PM

If it's anything close to the feel of Seven, or Silent Hill without the paranormal bent, then I'm all for it, Trep.

vazel · 01-18-2005, 05:53 PM

looks good.

Here's a site with 20 pages of great screenshots: http://www.jeuxactu.com/images-fiche...041-4-1-0.html

I hope they didn't just give away the answer to a puzzle in one of those pictures.

Zack · 01-18-2005, 07:22 PM

Oh man, some of those screenshots looked pretty disturbing, particuarly the first one with the picture of a skeleton face. I must say that I'm really looking forward to this game, because it already looks creepy, and exciting.

Bastich · 01-18-2005, 07:27 PM

Looks good. I can't wait for this one.

The darker the theme the better as far as I am concerned...

Intrepid Homoludens · 01-18-2005, 07:33 PM

That's wot I mean. I hope Microweeeeeeds has the balls to really push the bloodstained art direction and cinematography on this one. I'm not necessarily meaning gratuitous violence and stuff, but the kind of gritty, dirty, oppressive, and frankly nauseating atmosphere the story is supposed to be set in.

Surely there is room for both? What about a bloody massacre in a gritty, dirty, oppressive, and frankly nauseating atmosphere?

Intrepid Homoludens · 01-18-2005, 08:00 PM

Only if real human blood were used. And with a solo violin soundtrack performed by you.

DustCropper · 01-18-2005, 08:07 PM

I really like the game's art direction and atmosphere. My only concern is with the writing, as I've been somewhat disappointed with the dialogue in previous Microids games. A lot of that is probably due to poor translations to English. Hopefully this will be different. It really does sound very interesting.

squarejawhero · 01-19-2005, 01:02 AM

Looking at the shots again, I hope they don't overplay the humour. There's a few too many atmos breaking quips there for comfort.

Dark humour at the right times can be quite chilling. But it's also hard to do right.

Those few lines of dialogue displayed with the screnshots are a lot better than I would expect from a Microids game.

BoyToy · 01-19-2005, 08:55 AM

Wow, those images are stunning.

I'm really excited about Still Life now!

I think this is my favourite image: http://www.jeuxactu.com/...1104838919-5.jpg

Das foto ist nicht so gut! Anyway, the game does look good though. Could be better if it was FMV?

Maybe not technically. But I like the atmosphere of that picture.
It's got a bit of a voyeuristic/stalker-like feeling to it.

Yes, I am pervert.

(But not into 5-year-olds... :eek: )
