![]() Over the course of a single playthrough I made 62 decisions out of a possible 294 to reach one of at least six possible endings.Įvery decision and action you take affects the game in some fashion, as tracked by five sliding scales for Team Morale, Audience Opinion, Romance, Strength, and Insight. Some choices seem trivial like drinking a beer, while others like choosing to keep or give away a malfunctioning weapon could have repercussions much later in the game. You’ll even have a chance at romance with either a male or female contestant. Much like the show Survivor you’ll want to establish alliances, but who can you trust? This is where the game really starts to shine with some of the more subtle decisions and conversation choices. That is where we come in, joining up with a group of unlikeable kids trapped in adult bodies, you’ll play as Nick, just one of fifty contestants air-dropped onto an island. Originally created for prisoners to compete and win their freedom (and millions of dollars), the produces have now opened it up to willing members of society seeking fame and fortune. It’s all about the views, likes, and subs for them while Bloodshore is all about an aging reality show, Kill/Stream that has been going on for far too long and is starting to lose its ratings. You can also find references to Hunger Games and some of the more recent Battle Royale modes in games like Call of Duty and Battlefield where “contestants” are supplied with periodic loot drops and forced to converge on each other with a shrinking circle of death.īloodshore creates an interesting mix by blending in a near-future gameshow aesthetic with overly stereotypical Gen Z architypes consumed with social media and streaming followers. The core premise is ripped straight from the 2007 Steve Austin flick, The Condemned, where prisoners are put on an island to fight to the death for their freedom and the entertainment of millions of viewers around the world. While that game was more of a psychological thriller, Bloodshore promises a lot more gratuitous violence, action, and campy dialogue that borrows on numerous films, games, and other pop-culture references. Honestly, I just don't see battle royale as a movie.Bloodshore is the latest interactive entertainment title from Wales Interactive, and after reviewing I Saw Black Clouds back in March I was pretty excited to check this one out. Though they are rumoured to be considering a Fortnite movie. Having now checked, I'm surprised to learn Epic have not put out a series of official Fortnite fiction books. ![]() I like them I would stop short of saying they're good. The genre is largely the same as it ever was (same as it ever was), only with better video quality, and I find that fascinating. ![]() Honestly, the revival of FMV games and interactive movies remains a delight to me. It's co-developed by Wales with Wayout Pictures, Good Gate Media, and Posterity Entertainment, and they say this one is from the producers of bioterrorism FMV thriller The Complex and FMV romcom Five Dates. ![]() It's coming from Wales Interactive, the publishers and sometimes-developers known for FMV games including The Shapeshifting Detective and The Bunker as well as horror games like Maid Of Sker. It'll also be on PlayStations, Xboxes, Switch, and iThings. Eight hours of video in total, the devs say.īloodshore is due to launch November 3rd on Steam for Windows and Mac. We're in the shoes of a washed-up actor named Nick, making the decisions that'll affect his relationships and push him down different paths towards different endings. So, here's a familiar premise: 50 people drop onto an island to fight it out until only remains and claims the prize of $10 million (or to put it in genre terms, that's 4,166,618 Tesco chicken dinners). ![]()
