Why can't we ever have a game where we play as a legitimate monster? Not a werewolf or a vampire or some other rpg where you just get the ability to turn into some powerful form.
The stakes were high since the critter was small and helpless- and it was interesting. But as soon as he grew, all tension vanished. It just looked like a power trip with all those canon fodder enemies.
Exactly what I was thinking. Game lost all tension at that point. Also makes me question how it will hold your interest for a long period of time... Do you just keep finding more vikings to kill? What else is there?
The game probably will have afew levels with at least 4 forms. -Small one: Stealth -Medium one: Combat with strategy -Big one: Pure combat -Gigantic one: special level with a few levels.
Looks great, I like the idea behind the game as seen through the monsters side. But the combat is just underwhelming mere slaps and no real fear from the enemy or cries of pain just basic "ahh no" type of stuff.
I agree, they definently need new sound.. atleast for attacks/wounding..etc.. need some real screams of agony. Lol but it is early, and they might of just thrown in some free sound at the moment to get the ball rolling and get more money backing them.
Gotta agree, the sound design around the monster is excellant but the enemies don't really seem to react that well, more specifically their animations don't reflect what I feel like I should be doing to them with how powerful this creature is supposed to be
You don't play this games for the combat you play them for the knowledge about mythic legends and mythologies that of old human knowledge this games are telling you story's and old history's you come for knowledge
@@SnowWhite-ui4lz Everything we just saw was combat with a very soft narrative. we can expect the game to have more story but consider what they showed us. The key impressions they aimed to make was "play as a monster unlocking new abilities" Those abilities will assist directly in combat.
I agree with you Tenfold. Hopefully the devs put in some serious work on this. But honestly? I thought your default was a woman, with a snapchat filter on.... You should change that. Unless that's what you're going for.
when you're a hold guard that got killed by the dragonborn but you're reborn as a darkborn and you remember the dragonborn committing crimes against skyrim and her people

@Chris Williams Whylder is just making a pretty common observation. Did you know that you're allowed to believe something doesn't quite seem on par with everything else shown without being able to fix that problem yourself. For example, anyone can recognize and criticize bad acting without being an actor themselves.
the xlt titan My guess this is a warrior culture so they’re probably after them for something like trophy hunting like you not a true warrior till you kill one or something
Think he was saying that he's sorry to break it to you, but this game WILL be another Agony.. Like somehow he knows for certain. I cant say i have super high hopes for this.. But it definitely has potential.

@@SunCityGamer You must be one of those people who are baffled when they end up buying a bad game after seeing so much gameplay of it prior.

I really like the concept of see things from the monster's point of view. It's a nice break from "the human hero go kill all the monsters". Which includes all protagonists that look, talk, and/or act like humans, so yes even vampires, elves, and humanoid beast races count. Beast races (does NOT include races that look like humans with animal ears and tails) get a pass if the story revolves strictly around them and not humans.

Yeah... the idea of playing as the monster is cool... watching your family get killed and wanting revenge But the fight scenes and stealth seem terrible. Not to mention that in this video alone the story seemed dragged out... I don’t wanna play like 4 hours of what I got bored of in 15 minutes
Well I see what your saying unlike the other commentators, but I believe the main character walks around on all fours while in first person mode. At least that’s the perception I kinda get by looking at the screen. Yeah basically what the guy above me commented.
I love how the orientation point in the middle of the screen find itselfs perfectly between the youtube pause icon, when you tap once on your phones screen
Agony and project wights trailers came out around the same time im kinda glad darkborn is coming out later they had more time to refine and look great (still hope they fix some combat stuff but its definitely the right direction from project wights combat systems)
@@xpeson9 It literally looks like they're just mashing a button and stun locking whatever blind NPC is in front of them. The AI in this game looks incredibly bad. It looks like they're just ragdolls thrown at you with no challenge whatsoever.
I'm getting Agony vibes. Combat looks quite bizarre, like a mobile game and lacking any amount of flow whatsoever. The pacing of certain dialogues and camera shots is awkward, sound is also very rough around the edges. Footsteps that should be muddy and slappy are sandy and solid. Footsteps that should be solid but with a tail end drip (watery rocks) are just sandy still. Leaves are often silent, twigs are absent, it's all just stock gravel, dirt, and sand. And all of that can be fixed, they might be placeholder sounds for the time. The combat might be left imperfect until the final game is done, perhaps to give room to other mechanics they're considering. But I never like when a game is so clearly unrefined. Room to grow is never a bad thing, but there are far too many games that have abused this.
Nailed it, I think it’s gone overboard tho being a demon straight up dismembering and eating humans. I’m sure the next psychotic Jack the Ripper will love this game.
A bit more polishing probably and it looks like a pretty neat game. Keep it up. Still, I'd like to see players being able to customize the look of the darkborn somehow. That'd be nice.
That voice throughout the trailer that comes from the tree at the end, is it maybe Yggdrasil guiding you along? The world tree looked almost dead with no leaves or anything on it, maybe that’s what humans did to her, so is she merely using you to get revenge herself? 2 birds 1 stone kinda thing?
A very cool tech demo. I like the premise. I'd definitely like to see more variety. I've always been a monster / horror movie fan with werewolves and vampires being among my favs , so this is my style. I hope they can do something special with it.
@Chris Williams why are you commenting on everyone criticizing the obvious problem with the game? The combat is bland and is more basic than most things ive seen. Whats the point in ignoring something this big? Sure it could get better but rn its all too one dimensional.
Lol this dude just wants to play a game, he doesnt want to experience the story they worked hard to make. Well done developers, don't listen to this guy
@@dreadfuldeath it isnt your own character and that causes it to lack a lot of meaning for some people. This is different. You're referred to as little one instead of being a person with an entire history and backstory.

First part looks awesome, got me really intrested. Then the second part in adulte was a cold shower. Stiff animations, not intresting combat, gore for the gore...
I kind like the feel those warriors were not actually prepared for his agility and dexterity... also himself... Like trying to spin or catch him not knowing if theyll hit or simply searching to taunt prepotently.
Very strange and interesting narrative and characters. I am quite intrigued to play this but the combat looks a little unresponsive and archaic; just a small touch up and the game should be great!
Holy hell the game is finally coming out. This was announce ages ago if I do believe 2016? Project Wight was the original name of the game. I was so hype for this back then and it is coming back.

But wasnt the parents even bigger I think that was just a teenage phase
You start as a child, and as far as we see, it progressed to adolescence. Hopefully soon they’ll show some adult gameplay.
They have time to fix it , looks great tho , i'm hyped. Always wanted a decent monster game
Noah Blackburn I hope they save the adult stage for the game and dont reveal it in a trailer. This is the first game ive been excited for in years
cool and interesting concept but the gameplay looks kinda bland
Kinda? I could fall asleep to this combat
Yeah... the idea of playing as the monster is cool...
watching your family get killed and wanting revenge
But the fight scenes and stealth seem terrible.
Not to mention that in this video alone the story seemed dragged out...
I don’t wanna play like 4 hours of what I got bored of in 15 minutes
This is Project Wight. I was hoping to see more of this. The adult attacks do seem clunky. I hope they polish that.
i'm pretty sure this is the same alpha footage from like 2yrs ago. either way I'm still hyped about it
This is the final version
Harold Smiley the alpha version tease was kinda better animated
Enemies randomly kicking nothing lol
@@roadman420 I saw that either
I saw footage of this game two years ago and now it casually appears in my recommended like nothing ever happened??
Looks like it draws a lot of inspiration from the Beowulf saga with Grendel/his mother
Well Beowulf basically inspired Skyrim
Come on guys it's a back story of Nosferatu Zodd
I don't want to wait 300 years for a worthy opponent.
GUTS!!!!
oooooh!
A man of culture you are
Idolmaster zero year
Love the way it looks, I just feel given how huge the hands are, that you should be a little taller in the first person perspective.
You were smaller than the adults as shown in the cutscene, but your character is still growing.
i think its because you move on all fours a lot of the time. could be wrong but thats what it looks like
Well I see what your saying unlike the other commentators, but I believe the main character walks around on all fours while in first person mode. At least that’s the perception I kinda get by looking at the screen. Yeah basically what the guy above me commented.
omfg 11:42 LOL! the most useless and derpiest kick ever!
Myles Away oh my gosh man in gonna die lol that was out of this work funny man
That viking that did the kick said gab men
He is the actor that fall without fighting in batman
Lol
Gameplay wise I would rather play a werewolf in skyrim.
I love how the orientation point in the middle of the screen find itselfs perfectly between the youtube pause icon, when you tap once on your phones screen

@@thesacredmemes6410 goddammit, exposed.
Who else tapped real quick to see if this was true
Been following this for years since it was still known as Project Wight. Looks incredibly intriguing. Getting some Agony vibes though lol
Agony and project wights trailers came out around the same time im kinda glad darkborn is coming out later they had more time to refine and look great (still hope they fix some combat stuff but its definitely the right direction from project wights combat systems)
I've waited forever for new news on this game. Finally, I was scared it would never happen. So pumped cant wait. :)
Damn u so pumped for this 🤦♂️
@@gamert5752 You wouldnt understand how pumped hahaha. They said it would come out on PS4. If it doesnt that would be a kick to the nuts.
Saaaame
So this is project wight?
@@zen3490 I'm wondering the same thing. The trailers are both the same
Replace whoever is directing the combat/animation, because that looks awful, a unfortunate intersection of bland and clunky.
Go to the first comabt scene...youll change your mind.
Also if you channel the hit it become a knockback punch... thats beautiful... reminds me of AGONY.
I liked it.
@@xpeson9 It literally looks like they're just mashing a button and stun locking whatever blind NPC is in front of them. The AI in this game looks incredibly bad. It looks like they're just ragdolls thrown at you with no challenge whatsoever.
@@xpeson9 AGONY was shite.
I'm getting Agony vibes. Combat looks quite bizarre, like a mobile game and lacking any amount of flow whatsoever. The pacing of certain dialogues and camera shots is awkward, sound is also very rough around the edges. Footsteps that should be muddy and slappy are sandy and solid. Footsteps that should be solid but with a tail end drip (watery rocks) are just sandy still. Leaves are often silent, twigs are absent, it's all just stock gravel, dirt, and sand.
And all of that can be fixed, they might be placeholder sounds for the time. The combat might be left imperfect until the final game is done, perhaps to give room to other mechanics they're considering. But I never like when a game is so clearly unrefined. Room to grow is never a bad thing, but there are far too many games that have abused this.
Exactly what i think.
I think it would work much better in 3rd person
AND claws going into the mud like a squash, i mean like a spear pierceing through the mud.... (?) Uhh, sounds nice.
Its like they wanted to make a movie but weren't confident enough.
That was precisely what I thought, the cranky movements, the "graphics" gives me the feeling that at some point the hole idea will be just like agony.
Hellblade + the darkness
Nailed it, I think it’s gone overboard tho being a demon straight up dismembering and eating humans. I’m sure the next psychotic Jack the Ripper will love this game.
@@InfamazDre you are what of those people that think video games make people violent
@@InfamazDre if you can't handle mature games don't play them
Damn. I thought this game was never coming out.
Same
Don't think it will. The Outsiders website is down.
it got cancelled
Just got scrapped
@@amirul2596 they did say they might come back to it one day so don't lose hope
Cool setting but the combat looks boring, generic and clunky. Have a feeling it will turn out like *Agony...*
Exactly like I was thinking. Hope I'm wrong, but it reminds me way too much of that...other game.
Totally agree. The primary attack looks pretty one dimensional. Just a repeated claw attack to the torso....
True
The creature fights with its bare claws. What did you expect? Go make a game and see how that turns out.
@@onibruis3r920 youre making a pointless argument. Just because a person is not a game dev doesnt mean they dont get an opinion on games.
“What should we name our game?”
“Ever heard of From Software?”
“Oh you mean like Dark Souls and Bloodborne?”
“... I got it!”
Ah cool, I knew someone would make the joke somewhere
Carlos Suzara but it’s Darkborn not Darkborne
@@MrTomkat030 way to ruin the joke
Jaykel the smooth I didn’t find it funny
@@MrTomkat030 ok and that's you.
A bit more polishing probably and it looks like a pretty neat game. Keep it up.
Still, I'd like to see players being able to customize the look of the darkborn somehow. That'd be nice.
I would love some form of customization
It would be cool if you could decide how the creature evolves and progresses.
No it wouldn't
Wasn't this "Project Wight" b/c it looks very similar to it.
Yeap, lack of creativity, I guess; it looks exactly the same as 2 years ago
IKR!!!
I think they renamed the game from Project Wight to Darkborn
That voice throughout the trailer that comes from the tree at the end, is it maybe Yggdrasil guiding you along? The world tree looked almost dead with no leaves or anything on it, maybe that’s what humans did to her, so is she merely using you to get revenge herself? 2 birds 1 stone kinda thing?
Makes sense, would definitely be cool to see if that's the case. For me i think the voice made this trailer.
@@doom453 definitely one of the coolest voices I've heard in any game or movie recently when it comes to weird fantasy/sci-fi voices
Do I have to join The Companions before I can be the werewolf in this game too?
Lol I was thinking the same thing.
😂
This went from dark knight to goddamn Frankenstein's monster
A very cool tech demo. I like the premise. I'd definitely like to see more variety. I've always been a monster / horror movie fan with werewolves and vampires being among my favs , so this is my style. I hope they can do something special with it.
Anti-human human groups would love this
So the "left"?
@@MikeVieira left, right as long as they hate humans they're part of that group
Ralph So ok. I agree!
I mean....white men showing up and killing everyone isn't exactly unheard of.
I don’t think we as humans can comprehend the hate demons have towards us no human can hate like a demon
Think I saw this a while ago on: "Top 10 Games That Let's You Be the Monster." Great concept, really. Lackluster gameplay.
Give it time, it's still working things out this is why most game trailer settle with CG and scripted events to hide problems that they plan to fix.
@Chris Williams Are you one of the butthurt developers or something? lol
@Chris Williams why are you commenting on everyone criticizing the obvious problem with the game? The combat is bland and is more basic than most things ive seen. Whats the point in ignoring something this big? Sure it could get better but rn its all too one dimensional.
I love the story
@Chris Williams fortnite must be best mp for you
Liked to have seen this in 3rd person. If I'm gonna play as a creature would love to see it while I'm playing
Not everything has to be third-person, geez.
I disagree. I think this is more about who the real monsters are, and blurring that line.
@@lanesplitter8723 not everything has to be first person, see what i did there
In my opinion, it's better if we don't see this creature.
Lol this dude just wants to play a game, he doesnt want to experience the story they worked hard to make.
Well done developers, don't listen to this guy
So sad cause these exquisite graphics and environment are combined with the worst playing style I've ever seen.
D7. How so?
Project Wight! Its been a while. Didn't know we would see what they look like. Oddly adorable. ^_^
It's the same game, right?
This just makes me want a Van Helsing game, like The Order 1886 but with reversed roles.
Vampyr?
@@dreadfuldeath it isnt your own character and that causes it to lack a lot of meaning for some people. This is different. You're referred to as little one instead of being a person with an entire history and backstory.
@@michab.r.1854 But technically speaking, don't you still have a backstory with this one too? You are seeking revenge for the ones who have done you and your kin wrong. As for the name, I mean "little one" is about all you can call it. I mean nothing would kill it the cinematic feel more than to have this ravenous, blood thirsty beast named Geoffrey lol
Not one viking swung their sword.
Swung* friend. I believe this was set to easy though and they had a Dev there to basically walk them through it, can't have Journos look bad 🙄
@@TylerTheDefiler oh my bad thanks
The boss bar the end did once
Near*
@Jerry Wilson had a sword in his butt?!
Anyone know of any upcoming "you play as the monster" games seeing as this was cancelled?
First part looks awesome, got me really intrested.
Then the second part in adulte was a cold shower. Stiff animations, not intresting combat, gore for the gore...
I kind like the feel those warriors were not actually prepared for his agility and dexterity... also himself... Like trying to spin or catch him not knowing if theyll hit or simply searching to taunt prepotently.
If someone said this was skyrim 2.0 with the wolf mechanic in first person, I would believe them
Phil Conway stop trying to sound smart, when you clearly are not.
Very strange and interesting narrative and characters. I am quite intrigued to play this but the combat looks a little unresponsive and archaic; just a small touch up and the game should be great!
This makes me feel like reading "Beowulf" and "Eaters of the Dead" again
Eaters of the Dead/Beowulf ..great stories..
@@salimosman8188 Damn right! 😁 Read them both multiple times
Read Grendel it’s pretty cool eh
@@jasonbornonthefourthofjuly1351 Ah, didn't know there was a book from the perspective of Grendel. Thanks!
Cee Truth my brother was a teacher and made his kids read it eh... it was a decent read
They really need to raise the camera when the creature evolves, even if crawling on all fours it should be on level with the humans heads.
that would mean when standing its waist was at head height for a human, which it isn't...
It looks entertaining and beautiful land scape. The fighting was a bit boring with basic hack n slash tactics. If improved I would definitely try it.
Holy hell the game is finally coming out. This was announce ages ago if I do believe 2016? Project Wight was the original name of the game. I was so hype for this back then and it is coming back.
Same I saw project wight and I thought to myself how much I needed this 😂
The showcase 2 years ago I think looked better, I think it made you look less human.
It hurts to see how wonky the gameplay is and how dumb the camera positioning is.
Was going to say.
It’s in a very early stage development...
