Enter Hell With Retro-Inspired Arena Shooter ‘Demon Pit’

Published

on

Publisher Digerati and developers Psychic Software and DoomCube are dipping their feet into the 90s shooter aesthetic with their arcade-style arena first-person shooter game, Demon Pit.

A “wave-based shooter from Hell”, Demon Pit appears to be a mashup of Quake 3: Arena and Painkiller, with the expected gore and chunky early 3D graphics reminiscent of early 3D shooters. The story is pretty barebones: You slaughtered demons in your former life, and now you’re trapped in Hell to do it again. This time, you’re doing it in an arena.

You can expect to enter the Demon Pit arena on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, or PC via Steam in Q3 or Q4 2019.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game

Published

on

Last year’s monster hunting shooter El Paso, Elsewhere is headed to the screen, with THR reporting that LaKeith Stanfield (Haunted Mansion) will star in the live action film adaptation.

Stanfield will also produce the film alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

THR notes in today’s report, “There is no writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in the hopes of finding a studio home. The package is seen as buzzy, as it is a video game adaptation, a bustling genre thanks to titles such as The Last of Us, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and the most recent hit, Fallout.”

In the upcoming movie version of El Paso, Elsewhere, “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (LaKeith Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”

Developer Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere was released this past September.

Aaron Boehm wrote in his 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Much like its inspiration Max Payne, and other games in Remedy’s catalog, there’s a clear vision that unites every frame of this game, making for an experience that both reignites a classic action subgenre and forges an identity all its own. Few games have a better elevator pitch than El Paso, Elsewhere, and it’s awesome to see it live up to those expectations with style and heart.”
