South of Midnight Official Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2023 

They stated in the xbox wire blog that its in engine this what the game is going to look like

That's great news

I really hope prayer it does look like this indeed

I just wish the release day was way closer. I hate such a long period of anticipation.

@@sunofabob you want good games? you gotta wait

It dis say it was in-engine so it seems like it will!

This looks 10x better than all those games that strive for reality because mimicking reality is still too far.

Came here to let you know, it does in fact look like this in gameplay🎉

Thanks!

What's this version? that has the beats at the end Is there a longer version?

Thank yah

@@Mimiccry Those are like stock added trailer beats lol. The original recording is just a guy and his guitar cuz it's blues. do some stampin and clappin if you really like those beats though lol.

I highly recommend listening to the original. it isn't as crisp as the Xbox version but the lyrics are so deep and it's the Blues which fits into all eras especially now more than ever. It gives me a sense of purpose and makes me realise that we all suffer bereavement and go through the dark night of the soul and if humanity stand together we can make any future reality possible@@Mimiccry

It makes the game that much better with some background knowledge of what it's about, so thank you for this 🤙🏽😉 very awesome 🤙🏽🤙🏽

As a born and raised Arkansas resident, I completely agree with this. I just hope they somewhat involve Arkansas or some other neighboring states, you know? Because like you said, the south is RICH with folklore and history. Whether it’s the backwoods or the bayous, people always have a story to tell as long as there’s someone willing to listen.

Red dead redemption 2 has a nice bayou setting down in lemoyne if I’m not mistaken. but then again it’s not solely based on that specific location but is nice nonetheless

I love the Deep South setting. All the marshes and humidity, boons and curses. A super underrated genre.

Should’ve won game of the year

this style is called "Southern Gothic"

I love the Louisiana bayou voodoo priestess monster hunter vibes

It said it was in-engine so it seems so.

Love seeing the pivot away from strict “photo realism” and putting a lil style in games

@@ashadowyfigure8469 That's sorta how I've felt towards the borderlands art style

Did state that it was in-engine, so what we’re seeing is the real deal

@@Jarjar-Xit was in engine doesnt mean its the game itself remember cyberpunk and watchdogs

@@JD-yg4xh it’s compulsion. There’s nothing to worry about in its development

@Jarjar-X yea i guess but having hype really makes the expectations high, and i dont want that happening again

This is rendered in-engine

That guy is a little like the famous Robert Johnson (I think) but is just my apreciation.

I bet he's a lingering spirit

its forspoken.

@@Dead_Goat Forspoken, inventor of black women.

Yes. Definitely, a movie would be so much better than a game

I like your dog. Lab or pointer?

Not gonna lie i wish it was a movie first then a game. I was well invested in the story off this short clip alone. I wanted to see the monsters face

90% of the staff that made we happy few were bullied out of the company because they are white men, this game is made by racists

Got more of a claymation type feel

See, I don’t know if the newer generation knows this, but we call this stop motion because Claymation popularized it, which existed far before spider man had movies. Why do you think that into the spider verse invented not having a smooth frame rate? This game looks nothing like into the spider verse. No cartoon effects, no 2d animation except for the title but that doesn’t count. I love that movie too but it wasn’t even the first movie/tv show to start doing this, many smaller studios had done 2d/3d animation before, and this game is based on claymation, one of the first types of animation.

@UrMom-bb2mi I literally mention stop-motion in my OP & I never said Spiderverse started anything. To deny its influence, though, is just ridiculous.

you said "love the spider verse style animation" this is not spider verse style animation are you going to tell me it is?.@@tommaddi

@@UrMom-bb2mi I know what stop motion is but I called it claymation because of the textures of the world in the trailer

It’s in engine footage so it looks like this in game too

yippiiiiieeeeee! ...🤮

skipping

What is sweet baby inc? I've never heard of them before. What's so wrong with them?

⁠@@NBSYTThey are a consulting company that strong arms game developers into putting DEI and ESG initiatives into their games. And mainly their input does not improve the games in any capacity but makes them objectively worse.

@@NBSYTthey are a consulting firm that gives advice on how well representation is done for their clients. In other words, they aren't the devil op pretends they are.

What are you on we happy few was great

@@jeed-qf1kx It had its issues

You should play Voodoo Vince, originally released for the first Xbox back in 2003, it got a remaster a few years back.

They were on track to becoming one of my favorite studios, especially with South of Midnight looking this great from the trailer. Unfortunately, politics keep ruining good stories and characters.

@@richardbower641 I'm a white male. They didn't want my money. It isn't white - its green. I figure that should be the color they care about.

​@@richardbower641 Some of the weakest folk on the Internet I swear...

​@@richardbower641what politics?

​@@richardbower641What politics?

too bad it's made by open racists : (

Racist detected

It's coming to pc too!

It must be genuinly sad to want to play a game but not be able to because some internet weirdos told you not to

Do those people on the internet tell you what to do on everything? You just blindly follow every trend?

@@opheliarosewood7847 So they just said a lie? Everyone have the right to decide if they want to play a videogame or not. If you know something that you dont like, well, it is not bad to change your mind.

@@erenyeager8306 Why you said "on everything"? You do not know what I do.

@@Zuli_713 Well yes a lot of what anti-sbi folk spout is lies. Like saying a consulting firm will somehow ruin a game despite their hob only affecting subtle parts of the story and writing.
