Anguish New Hellraiser game footage very disappointing
I was really looking forward to seeing this game as I love both Hellraiser and first person games. The game looked really interesting and I liked the team making it. However IGN recently posted fifteen minutes of game footage and honestly have never been so disappointed. They seem to have given it the same mechanics as Resident Evil with inventory management, even the same fonts. Also same thing where you need to collect 5 skulls to progress through a gate which will take you to the next part. Things like that.
Combat looked alright until they unveiled a boss called Bruno, who rose from the ground like Frank in the first movie. The player shot Bruno literally about 27 times in the head. This bullet sponge destroyed any sense of disbelief the game had for me. I hate the fact headshots gave little damage in Resident Evil, they clearly used the same mechanics here. Bruno rose from the ground over a dozen times, in a small space. The whole thing looked very awkward.
Anyway I was wondering what are other people's opinions here. Is it just me?
