Fans Making Cloverfield Game, Forget to Include Lighting
It seems that if JJ Abrams is attached to a project that a cult following is bound to spring up. I could understand it with both Alias and Lost but when it comes to a movie as meh-tastic as Cloverfield (note: this opinion absolutely does not represent the opinions of MEGATONik as a whole - lawl) it is a little hard to grasp an insane devotion to the project. Maybe I just didn’t get into the whole viral advertising thing enough. These guys sure did though. The insane good people over at CloverfieldGame.com are already hip deep in making what looks to be an at least decent looking Cloverfield game for the PC.
While the game’s focus of snapping images of the Cloverfield monster and its tiny bug like minions in order to score points to advance doesn’t sound like the most fun ever the game does look like it could actually deliver some pretty creepy gameplay. Of course they’ll need to iron out that minute of total darkness in the video above and possibly tone down the thudding stomps they have for the “walking in air duct” sound effect. No game is perfect though and getting the chance to run around a city being destroyed by a giant monster could be pretty cool. Of course what makes it instantly at least worth a try is the fact that it will be free. Do yourself a favor and don’t read the “About” sections on their page; proper English is not their strong suit. Hit the jump for a few more vids if you’re interested.

The big twist is that the player is actually eleven cats with feet made of lead.
(If the eleven cats thing went over your head, check the top left corner of the screen.)
dexter, you’re so goddamn clever.
Looks like any other Half Life mod to me. :/

Their English seems fine to me. The guy that wrote this article. Is he Chinese or something?
I think the coolest part will be being able to play as the Cloverfield monster if you advance enough. However, it will only be satisfying with realistic destruction of buildings and people, and I doubt the graphics will be great since it’s only free. It should still be fun though.
Man, I’ve seen some of the stuff cloverfieldgame.com and it doesn’t even come close to shitty! For some fans to make something of that caliber shown in their vids, amazing job!
I been reading posts on other sites of stupid people hacking these guys down, but as far as i can see, they’re doing an AWESOME job!
To all the doubters out there who thinkz they can talk a buncha shit to the creators, it’s one thing to talk shit, but I’d love to see any of you jacko’s do the kind of stuff these guys are. It’s going to be an amazing game, and i hold these guys in the highest regard unlike the dipshits out there who do nothing but bitch and do nothing creative. Fuckin’ trolls!
CLOVERFIELDGAME.COM FTW!!
