We love survival horror (especially on our Wiis), but after watching this trailer, it's hard to be excited in any way for Obscure: The Aftermath. It looks like a cheesy horror film, though with none of the charm (or Bruce Campbell) that makes such movies worth watching.
Not only did were we completely lost while watching this video (the plot, clearly, is also obscure), but it just looked silly. Do we have another Escape from Bug Island on our hands? Perhaps not, since the first game was supposedly enjoyable, and there's also the budget price of $30 to consider.
If that's enough to convince you to at least give this game a look, it's set to release next week in North America.
*Note: This video is from the PC version of the game.
Obscure: The Aftermath trailer is like a B movie

This post won my heart because Bruce Campbell was referenced. That reminds me, I just got Army of Darkness and Evil Dead II in HD, I need to watch them again.

"Do we have another Escape from Bug Island on our hands?"
From a technical aspect? It's looking like it. From what I recall on IGN.com, I remember reading something along the lines of no 480p and no widescreen? Not sure on the 480p, but no widescreen on a title I'm already skeptical about is fa sho deal breaker.

The original obscure IS one of my favorite games.
I'm a big Fatal Frame/Silent Hill fan. To me, Obscure is right up there with those games, and has one thing the others don't. Co-op play. The co-op mode is incredible.
