Polish developer Destructive Creations
announces
Hatred, an isometric shooter where the player is the bad guy
built on the Unreal Engine 4 (not that
Epic Games is pleased at the association). They
offer a
reveal trailer
made with gameplay footage, calling this their "first propaganda
tool." The clip and their description of the game show they are quite willing to be
shocking with this, with the developers decrying both political correctness and games that aspire to
create higher art. Here's word:
Hatred is an isometric shooter with
disturbing atmosphere of mass killing, where player takes the role of a cold
blood antagonist, who is full of hatred for humanity. It's a horror, but here
YOU are the villain. Wander the outskirts of New York State, seek for victims on
seven free-roam levels. Fight against law enforcement and take a journey into
the antagonist's hateful mind. Gather equipment of the dead ‘human shields’ to
spread Armageddon upon society. Destroy everything on your way of hunt and fight
back when it's disturbed...
...just don't try this at home and don't take it too seriously, it's just a
game. :)
The question you may ask is: why do they do this? These days, when a lot of
games are heading to be polite, colorful, politically correct and trying to be
some kind of higher art, rather than just an entertainment – we wanted to create
something against trends. Something different, something that could give the
player a pure, gaming pleasure.
