PS5 Port of Body Horror Scorn Potentially Teased in Series of Cryptic Tweets

This game looked interesting but then once I saw the gameplay I was disappointed(And especially its "gunplay" lol)

the game is a good looking walking simulator its not a shooter

it did however get frustrating because i didnt know where to go or what to do

I bet the dev is really banking on these cryptic messages distracting people from how much he bad mouthed the PS5 this time last year.

@Nepp67
Most people went in expecting it to be a traditional shooter when it very much is not nor was it ever intended to be. It's a first person adventure title with a heavy puzzle focus. Think something along the lines of Amnesia or Penumbra. Not every first person game where you happen to at some point have a weapon in front of you would qualify as an FPS.

@PegasusActual93 That's my problem, they advertised it to be a shooter through some of the trailers. I honestly don't see why it had gunplay in the first place because it looked real tacked on. From everything else I'd be put to sleep quick. Amnesia The Bunker has my attention more compared to this.

If I want to play this thing I would have by now, I hate Microsoft but I do have game pass. It's game pass folder.

@Enuo he did? What'd he say 🤔

When i first saw this i thought it was a sequel to prey (xbox 360) or a remake. Anyhow i thought it looked interesting until i watched game play vids and almost fell asleep..shame really as it looks disgustingly good.

This game reviewed quite poorly on xbox so yeah not looking forward to this on playstation.

I mean I don't think anyone thought this was anything more than a timed exclusive. How could it not come to playstation, is such a niche and obscure title. They need all the financial avenues they can get. My question is why did they think Xbox was the place to begin their journey.

@Nepp67 the shooting is boring. It mainly has some verry boring and really underwhelming puzzles.
Multiple times youre just pushing around giant elevators to open doors and shoot one bullet and then it's silent.

@Nepp67 hard to say who's fault that was though. If Microsoft was handling the marketing as part of their one year exclusivity agreement. Then it was likely more Microsoft misdirection likely stemming from them thinking it was an aliens spiritual successor. Or maybe the studio is just run by opportunistic ah.

@NotSoCryptic Believe it or not, Xbox is probably a better place for niche games like this to market. Xbox isn’t over crowded with multiple games fighting for marketing space. Which allows games to actually stand out cause they’re more likely to grab people’s attention due to the limited amount of games coming to the platform. People was actually listing this as a major reason to pick up a Series X. Lmao.

Microsoft also can’t picky and choosy with games, so they far more likely to fund development and handle marketing vs Sony who would have far better games to pick from.

I'll play and 100% it again if it comes to Playstation. It certainly isn't for everyone and I didn't like it at first myself, but I gave it a second chance and really embraced it's artstyle and especially the sound design and ended up loving it. Would be cool to have some new content though.

H. R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński are enough to get my undivided attention. Huge fan girl of both those legends. Add in some Cronenberg and I’ll do a joyous backflip haha.

If I was a betting man i'd say the release date on PlayStation will be Oct 14th 2023. Exactly 12 months after it released on Xbox. But im not a betting man and Xbox don't pay for exclusivity anymore 😏

@Nepp67 it's not a shooter it's more of a puzzle game with very light shooting mechanics

Really enjoyed this game hopefully ps users get to try it too

I thought this game was trully awfull. But having it available to more people cant be a bad thing, as some enjoyed it...

I'm good, thanks

Not for everyone but i loved it on Xbox especially as i'm a big fan of Giger's work and Alien. Again its really not for everyone though but if it clicks with you it very much clicks, i may double dip it if it hits PS5.

Played on Game Pass for PC. It was alright. The setting was superb, but gameplay felt extremely lacking and frustrating at times.

I loved the art style and story that came with it. I would say its not for everyone.

If this got a physical release, would buy day one.

I was really excited for this before release as I love the art style and the previews seemed intriguing.
After playing, however, all I can say is thank god for Game Pass.
Unless the Devs have updated it to make it interesting and, enjoyable then they can keep this one on Xbox for me.

100% this one on Xbox. It’s an odd one. Definitively not for everyone. It’s punch-gun segments might be too frustrating for fans of walking sims, too much walking and puzzles for fans of action games, and an art style that might test many players stomachs.

But there is a narrow intersection of players that will love or at least enjoy the experience. I’m glad more players will get a chance to give it a try.

Hopefully it comes directly to PSN Extra, so more players can try it without the risk of being out of money.

Very much looking forward to this one! Looks right up my street. I'm a huge fan of narrative/exploration-focussed and atmospheric-heavy games AKA "walking sims" (god, I hate that term). I get why some don't but rather than claiming them to be awful, just realise they weren't made for you.

They basically confirmed a PS5 version to me on Twitter when I inquired about it by liking my comment and replying "...😉"

Seems like this game is its own A Machine for Pigs, or Penumbra Requiem: lacking in overall engagement with emphasis placed on atmosphere and puzzles, with little else to interact with or enjoy. Certainly seems like an acquired taste.

One of the worst games I've played in a long time. Its not fun or interesting at all outside of the visuals. I would recommend skipping it even if you think it looks cool. Just watch a full game walkthrough on YouTube and have a much better experience.

@AverageGamer sorry, but you're speaking utter nonsense.
