I once knew a guy who went through a divorce. I was a pretty high-schooler at the time, and at the end of the school year we had a little party. I brought along some friends, and I remember we had some beers. I was just enjoying the party, and we were chatting and having some fun. I was talking to a girl, and she was talking to a guy.
And, yeah, it’s a pretty good time.
I don’t know how long this guy’s been married, but I’m sure something happened to him when the divorce happened, and as a result he was drinking and partying. He was not sober, and didn’t remember the event that led to the divorce.
In the new trailer for Deathloop, we see an amnesiac Colt Vahn’s interactions with the Visionaries through the lens of a friend and his wife.
A lot of people have told me that they want to know more about Colt Vahn, and I think Deathloop is the perfect place for us to do so. Deathloop is so fun, so dynamic, so alive and so creative. One of the most important aspects to the game is its self-awareness. The game makes you aware of what you’re doing. It’s a game of self-awareness.
Deathloop is a game of self-awareness. The trailer for Deathloop, above, is the kind of thing that feels natural and right, and it’s the kind of trailer I wish I had when I was a kid. I’m a fan of the way it looks and the way it feels. This is the kind of trailer I wish I’d been able to see when I was a kid.
When someone tells you what to do, you have to say, “Who do you think you are?” Or, “I don’t know who you are, but I know what you do.” Or, “I know what you do, but I don’t know who you are.” We the player are the only one who can say these things and we are the only one who can say, “I know who you are.
It’s so easy to let this trailer make us feel good when it’s just a trailer, but once you play the game it’s amazing to see what it can do. I’m really excited to see what happens next and how it all connects.
It’s really cool too when you realise that people are actually trying to help you, and not just try to tell you what you should do. It’s also really cool that we get to see the team’s new tech in action. It gives me hope that we can see a day where it’s not just about the player, but a day when it’s about giving people a voice.
One of the most important goals in a game is to make us feel happy and good about what we’re doing. And the way the game works right now, we can’t really make that happen. But it is a positive move to make sure that we feel good while the game is in development and then have players be able to help us do that.
