Hellraid!

Don't know if anyone's a fan of Dark Messiah and it's first person melee combat, but this looks like a nice follow up.

Some screenies:

Hell. Yes.

Loved Dark Messiah's combat, so this is really interesting. Not sure what I think about the magic casting from that video, but we'll see. I'd be interested in learning more about the blocking system too, it looks like 1 click to block everything?

Screenshots look nice anyway. Need more info.

I've wrote a 5-part article about making such an environments. It's called "Making of Catacombs". Here's part 1 - http://hellraid.com/blog,,building-the-catacombs-part-i.html

Also, some env screens:

Very cool. Reading through the blog now - this article covers blocking incase anyone else is interested: http://hellraid.com/blog,,parrying-and-blocking-for-more-immersion.html

Hopefully there will be some opponents to duel in the game as well. Environments are looking pretty good too. I'll be following this one closely.

totally looking forward to this, I loved the melee combat in Dead Island.

Dan!

first comment, my thoughts exactly- "Hexen anyone?" Looks awesome!

ErichWK

Oh shit!! This does remind me of Hexen.. I remember playing it on the 64, and I couldn't get very far because it freaked me out and was too stressful to me. But I'm a man-grown now...so hopefully it won't scare me tooooo much.

loved the combat in Dark messiah, but the bugs and crashes killed it for me.

AtticusMars

Looks really cool. Actually reminds me more of Painkiller than Dark Messiah

Lucas Annunziata

I do loves me some first person melee action! And killing things that are already dead.

Before you get too excited, this is from the studio who made Dead Island, and Dark Messiah was from the studio who did Dishounored.
Granted, I gather many people liked Dead Island, but I found it unimaginably dull.
The combat in that trailer at least looks somewhat more interesting, so I'm cautiously optmistic, but it doesn't look nearly as good as Dark Messiah.

Well, I'm doing my best to create game's own identity and mood, but still it won't be the copy or even close to Dark Messiah or Skyrim witch some people like to see but I'm affraid that there's a big like between that titles.

I love both Dark Messiah and Skyrim but i wouldn't want to see a different title copying them, so thanks for that. Looking forward for this game!

Oh daaaaaaaym, looks nice!

The new blog post gives some more details about the game: http://hellraid.com/blog,,hellraid-detailed-in-questions-and-answers.html

In my head I'm getting a mix of l4d, Dark Messiah and Doom. The game-master system to me means that it will be more of a grind-like game than a meticulously hand-crafted one, that doesn't have to be a bad thing as long as the combat is excellent. Co-op dungeon crawling first person hack and slash could be rather awesome fun. And obviously, not only do I hope it will be good, but that it will include at least a level editor.
