Not a scam, like others have said, likely a target for investors. However, while I believe the animations and interactions are all heavily scripted, the trailer did look like convincing in-game footage. I imagine if it were a scam, there would already be some kind of buy in for the average customer.

The Day Before didn't sell us anything either while it was showing fake scripted trailers becoming the most wish-listed game on Steam. This could be the same deal. BUT since this is a single player game, with a lot of original assets and effort put into visuals and animation I feel the intention might be more genuine. We can all just wait and see if the game comes close to this concept trailer. Just wait for updates, we're all smart enough to wait for more trailers/screenshots. I hope most people can see this was a fully animated trailer with not a second of a real gameplay.

This looks like a VR game. How ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insulting to call it a dark messiah "Spiritual successor".
Looks ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nothing like it.
Animations were not smooth.
Rewatch it.
heaps of blur, and cinematic view made it look like a VR insult to the industry type of game.
Imagine trying to ♥♥♥♥♥♥ leech off of Dark Messiah.
These devs needa crash and burn

Scripted trailer, folks. Settle down. The time for actual gameplay footage is yet to come. You can throw your hissy fissies then.

Dude, the footage isn't even gameplay, chill. It's not a VR game, press release said as much iirc. Dark Messiah is crusty AF these days anyways, as much as it pains me to say it. A game trying to emulate its physics focused combat system would be great. Its been like 20 years and we barely have any games like it.

I think even that is not that relevant, since it's not that hard to set up a vertical slice demo that looks nice nowadays.

The bigger worry in general, does the team has experience and skills/ management/ funds to actually make it into a proper game.

I hope they do since this looks cool, but I would take this whole project with the grain of salt until there is more development shown.

It's clearly CGI.

Hi! The assets from the trailer are in-game, but some camera angles and animations were crafted specifically for the trailer to enhance the visual experience. We appreciate your interest in our game and will strive to share new materials as soon as possible so you can form your own opinion.

Yo, thank you for the response and the transparency! Glad that the trailer was using in engine footage, it looks fantastic graphically. Take all the time ya need for this one, rooting for this to become a modern classic.

Me when I lie directly to someones face.

Or maybe your not lying maybe those are in game assets, they just aren't being filmed in the game because you don't actually have a game ready to show off in any capacity.

That's kind of exactly what they said, yeah. Game ain't ready to show off, the assets were canned animations in engine. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate skepticism, but damn. I'll take that over a stupid expensive obvious CGI cut-scene that doesn't even describe the gameplay.

My guy, that's exactly what this is. Its a cut-scene I was being facetious because its very obvious that none of what they showed off is in-game anything. It doesn't matter if its in an engine, that doesn't mean anything because a lot of game engine can be used to create 3D animation nowadays.

This is an unknown studio, with no prior projects around their belt, that randomly released a very obviously pre-rendered trailer made to look like a game. The visual fidelity on display is not just some "Camera angles and animations", its on a level AAA studios would struggle to make work without a metric assload of time and resources.

Those aren't game assets.
