Bound Revealed for PS4

This is Michał “bonzaj” Staniszewski from Plastic, a small team with demoscene roots. In the past we brought you Linger In Shadows and Datura on PS3. We haven’t got rid of our experimenting habits, and this time we are going to deliver something to you that is quite unique in visual style, narrative storytelling, and also mechanics.

Bound is a 3D platformer designed for people with the desire to concentrate on the narrative side of games and experience a mature story. On the other side of the spectrum, Bound is also being prepared for hardcore gamers looking for the challenge of one big puzzle that can be only solved by a community of players working together.

The result: we are going to deliver a “notgame” to you, which is also a game. It’s up to you to decide how you would like to play.

I said what what in the ****

No thanks.....

It looks interesting to say the least. If it comes with good gameplay and a good story then sweet!

I like the art style, but that's all I can say for now.

3D plattformer, nice. Sony to bring plattformers away from tired Nintendo rehashes and to a new high???

Not really Santa Monica new title

from developer Plastic in collaboration with Santa Monica Studio.

They published it. It's not developed by them.

Game looks fantastic, other than procedurally generated levels.

That looks... abysmal. Not even sure what's going on there. It is just an indie team thought that happens to work under Santa Monica, not actually Santa Monica proper. Hopefully they are working on something besides a new God of War though.

Looked good until "community of players"

Now I don't care

Yeah I know,but Santa Monica tweeted it.

Now I am worry if the new Ace combat turn out to be a f2p game.......

Thanks

Dafuq?

Well Linger in Shadows was actually quite cool so I'm willing to wait before saying that too much more..

Linger in Shadows was a lame ass game, and that was barely anything resembling gameplay.

Not interested, but Santa Monica proper is probably working on God of Bore, so more Bound please.

Looks interesting

Dafuq?

Kudos on doing something new.

the image looks pretty

Look forward to seeing more :)

No thank you.

More artsy fartsy crap from Sony.

This feels like the zero theorem interface Christoph Waltz works on in the movie of the same name.

I love art house games but it can't be ALL art house games. For that why not release it on PS3. Why bother with PS4 to begin with.

I'll be over here playing my pesky game with actual gameplay. OOUULLDD SKOOOOL

They've partnered with other developers to help them with this project. It's not their main project. The main project is definitely god of war 4 and I expect it to be announced in coming week (and expect gpuking to make a graphics king thread about it after seeing pre rendered trailer).

@lastcoin: Is this the ballerina game they teased a few days ago. LMAO!! Yeah, Sony likes to create some new genre's (Gravity Rush was a good one), but this games (or notgame) isn't something I'd waste my time on. I'll wait for the final product, but it's not looking good so far.

Here is the teaser trailer for the game ---> http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2015/12/03/sony-santa-monica-and-plastic-studios-announce-bound-ps4/

LMAO!! If this was an exclusive game on the XBox One, that's not what you would be saying. Be honest now. Gotta love the fanboy trolls.

I am loving the variety Sony is offering.... unlike some hardware producers.

I agree.. Xbox One is finally getting it's first JRPG next year... It's about time...While the JRPG's have been pouring into PS4 lineups for a while now. PS4 certainly has way more variety to offer. Nier Automata is currently my most anticipated game...

I've said on numerous occasions that Scalebound looks like a great game. Your butthurt is showing.

Because PS3 is almost as dead as Wii-U. That's why.

Exactly what makes ps brand so successfull : Diversity!!!

Hiding behind gameplay mantra won't open new skies nor lit up obscur and conservative visions.

Unless you're a women and the solution becomes 'Get back in the kitchen you big tittie ho'.

:-P Jokes, don't get mad.

I was interested for a second, then..

Interest deflated.

That exactly what i meant; thx!!!!

I doubt 86 million PS3 owners suddenly stopped playing it and buying games.

Why can't Sony's studios make a meaty game that plays good with no pretense to it? :(

Yes, please excuse me for being one of these asshole "conservative" gamers who chooses to embrace what sets this medium apart from others. Who enjoys what video games actually do well.

I'm all for diversity in gaming. Thing is, diversity can be accomplished without concentrating on some garbage "mature" narrative, which is exactly what this game will deliver.

He's just a fuccboi, pay him no mind.

If you don't like what this game will deliver, i hear ya.

Now because "you" don't like this "garbage" , it does not have to exist???

Then the word you used fits you well!!!

What a game God of War 4 turned out to be lol....

Games can have story's better than movies (just not as extensively told as books for obvious reasons) but yeah this is some pretentious garbage.

I don't subscribe to the lol video game story bs though, even if most story's are bad or minimal.

lol

Why can't people on SW just follow a simple conversation? Games that shoot high for the stupid factor will always exist. I'm not going to change that, nor do I care to.

I never said "it does not have to exist", or anything alluding to that.

My only beef is that you say "hiding behind the gameplay mantra" as if that's supposed to be a bad thing. Bunch of fraud ass gamers, I swear.

And thinking that diversity in gaming is something that requires us to let go of the "gameplay mantra"? That's just foolish.

Oh of course they can, the vast majority of movies have some terribad stories too, I won't argue with that.

I do subscribe to lol video game story because quite frankly, that's more than 99% of video game stories. There are certainly some examples to the contrary, and even a lot of games with meh stories are at least serviceable in that they do what they need to establish context.

But when a dev hinges their hype on the narrative and proclaims maturity, then yeah, I'm expecting a mess.

I don't hate stories in gaming. A lot of games need stories. Stories can serve well to elevate the experience. I just find it ignorant to cast aside the desire for gameplay focus as some "conservative" way of thinking that's holding gaming back.

@ConanTheStoner: Gameplay comes first, no doubt.

@ConanTheStoner:

I'm not casting aside any form of gameplay focus.

I just point out that "gameplay" means a variety of things depending on the stand point of each of us...

I love simulators, some don't

I hate Bayonetta, some love it

BB too easy, DS too hard, Wow casual etc...

That's why i think there should be "games" for everybody, because the very notion of gameplay vary from each person and depends on how long we've been gaming and many other things.

What's the problem if some like "walking simulator" and hate fps?

Is the joy you feel while fragging any better than the one that someone else feels while unravelling some cryptic puzzle?

That is some shitty graphics. Hahahaha This is what they would say if this was an Xbox One exclusive.

Looks pretty

Would be nice to know what sort of game it is. It looks like a cool rhythm game, but I doubt it's that.

@sovkhan:

See, that's not what you were saying to begin with at all. You said this.

"Hiding behind gameplay mantra won't open new skies nor lit up obscur and conservative visions."

That's what I took issue with.

-

This right here?

I agree.

Because you're talking about varying gameplay experiences. That is diversity. You're not casting gameplay aside as some roadblock to diversity, or as something that will stunt new heights in this medium.

However, this is a 180 from what you were previously saying.

@acp_45: **** yeah on NieR. It's only probably behind Persona 5 for me.

@ConanTheStoner

"Hiding behind gameplay mantra won't open new skies nor lit up obscur and conservative visions."

where gameplay mantra is a loose word used solely to dismiss games we don't like...

That is what I meant, but thought that it's self explanatory !!!

It's seems i was mistaken.
