[PAX East 2018] Asymmetric Multiplayer Game ‘Last Year’ Resurfaces
Remember that Friday The 13th: The Game lookalike called Last Year that was a few years back? Well, after some period of quiet, Elastic Games’ debuted the “reboot” of the original project at PAX East with Last Year: The Nightmare.
For those that need a refresher, like Friday The 13th, Last Year is an asymmetric multiplayer game (this time set in 1996) where players take control of one of five high schoolers or a deadly supernatural killer. However, in Last Year, there is more of a focus on a class-based system when it comes to selecting a high school character. Each character will have a certain role in the “team”, leaving the player who gets selected as the killer to come up with a proper strategy to eliminate the more useful members of the team first.
Likewise, the player selected as the killer can also choose from a selection of potential killers to massacre the teens. In addition, unlike F13, you will be able to kill the killer, but the killer in turn can respawn in any location that isn’t in the direct line of sight for one of the survivors, potentially providing for some sweet scares.
Right now, other than the official site and Elastic Games’ Twitter page, there’s not much new footage or screenshots of the game in action, which is kind of disconcerting, given the game is scheduled to be released this summer on Steam. Hopefully after PAX East wraps up, we get some official goodies to sink our teeth into.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
