2012-09-22
hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus dotnet and you are watching episode 4 of our weekly green light spotlight video a recurring series that tells you what games you should watch out for on steams greenlight service as the service matures we see even more games getting promoted so please nominate games you think we should support below in the comments with that said kicking us off in slot number seven this week we have day one garry's incident and indiana jones esque 3d action adventure that's littered with all manner of traps agility challenges which look crazy fun by the way enemies and hidden treasures running on Epix famed Unreal Engine 3 this FPS survival game forces you to seek out shelter food and navigate challenges in an open and destructible world the devs plan to release the game in episodic form targeting five dollars per quote-unquote episode so go check that out if you're interested in giving off a completely different vibe in slot number six we have a rational investigator which is headed up by the same writer behind penumbra FTL and Driver San Francisco irrational is a game of private investigation and text-based argument that in classic noir style encourages deductive logic for crime solving and story progression as you traverse the map NPCs will challenge your character with arguments and puzzles and offer clues that must be uncovered to solve crimes and mysteries in the town the game is based off of a rational Redux which had over half a million plays on the web if I remember correctly forge take slot number five this class-based multiplayer brawler heads up our mid range of green light games this week and it is almost fury like an example if anyone remembers that game forge promises a zero grind game that utilizes the MMO PvP mechanics but without the mindless droning required to get to those upper levels the game's difficulty comes in your own ability to command its classes much like an FPS and it even replicates an FPS arena except in a fantasy environment if you're looking for a challenging PvP experience without the time sync of an MMO you may want to give forge a shot as it does feature some classic RPG elements as well in verbis virtus is our next game we were looking at today and it is consequently very hard to say quickly ever since the explosion of voice activated shout and Skyrim we've seen a rise in voice recognition technology in games at least in mod form in verbis virtus has added its voice to the fray saying things for example like the beam of light will activate a beam of light from your hand or mind over matter will move objects at least in its current state and the dev say they will be adding a unique language I'm not sure how that will impact gameplay but they do plan on making it a bit easier for localization this will all cast spells at the targets on your reticle so using your voice to command an arsenal spells as you travel through dungeons littered with traps and enemies is the goal of in verbis virtus if that sounds interesting to you go check it out on their steam greenlight page grapple is the next game and this game along with the next to actually look incredibly fun to me this one is a ball based tactile physics action platformer say that five times fast if you were to grind spider-man into a pope and at jello to what remained you'd end up with the shiny slimy goo ball found in grapple swing from surface to surface stick to walls and launch too far away platforms in an attempt to complete courses in the fastest time possible the game's mechanics focus on overall feel of the game aiming to achieve satisfaction of controls and fluid execution over all else our second place in game however is a little bit different the last Phoenix it is a dog fighting game with vivid okami asked graphics you control a Phoenix in a ruined landscape and in order to restore color to the world you must destroy carrion birds and aerial combat color returns to the world as you fling crows to their death and incinerate carry on flyers and as the atmosphere of the game grows and worked on color plants will regrow in real time and replenish the land in this open island environment the fighting game play is based primarily around diving rolling evading boosting grappling and fiery explosions hopefully supplying us with enough options to have some seriously fun gameplay but the next game is definitely seriously fountain fracked osc take slot number one and it is well deserved I must say this a game was suggested in our comment several times it is a first-person adventure game where you interact with in-game synthesizers create music and solve puzzles based on the sounds that you create in the game the game walks you through all of this and teaches you how to use its proprietary set of music creation tools which the developers take great pride in and they even expressed an interest in teaching the player how to make their own music within the bounds of the game by the end of their play through experience I'm going to let the audio of fracked OSU play for a second since the game is almost entirely audio-based so here's a listen to that and with that everything in this game will center around sound and with such unique player interaction and a focus on actually teaching the player something there's no reason not to consider fracked OSC for steam greenlight so that's it for this week's green light spotlight please like comment and subscribe as always you'll find links to the games in the comments below or sorry in the description below leave a comment with your suggestions for next time and i'll see you guys next time peace you
