Retro-Inspired Shooter ‘Prodeus’ Mixes Modern Quality With Classic Throwback Carnage
With one of the most important (if not THE most important) first person shooters hitting the quarter century mark next month, and with all of the recent throwback shooters that give you that cathartic kick whenever you blow off an enemy’s head, seems like a good enough time to reveal a new one, doesn’t it? That’s extactly what Bounding Box Software is doing with their new throwback first person shooter, Prodeus.
According to developers Mike Voeller and Jason Mojica, Prodeus is a mix of modern AAA quality with 90s shooter aethetics. Screenshots don’t quite do the game justice, however. You have to check out the reveal trailer below to see the full aesthetic in action. It’s not the modernized pixel graphics and 60fps of Project Warlock. Rather, the game apes the look of mid-90s shooters with a slightly pixellated view while still trying to cram in detail, coupled with purposely choppy animation. Did I mention the soundtrack fits the trailer perfectly?
The story for the game hasn’t been revealed yet, but the game’s Steam page lists an “awesome dismemberment system” coupled with “infinite blood”, so yes, I’m listening. The game will hit Steam in 2019, so I’m definitely keeping an eye out for this one.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
