An accolades trailer is one that features gameplay and cinematics overlaid with glowing review scores and kind words from outlets such as ours—this one from the brilliant What Remains of Edith Finch is a fine example. Today, Square Enix released an accolades trailer for The Quiet Man, the live-action adventure/brawler about—as I understand it—a deaf guy who kicks a...

There are too many games. November is over, but it was a big month, and our giant collective digi-trough runneth over with shooters, stabbers and clickers. It s repulsive and very wasteful, quite frankly. Thankfully, the RPS podcast (aka the Electronic Wireless Show) is here to snort up the good uns and stamp all over the bad uns. This week the pod squad are running through as many newly released ...

The Quiet Man made a hell of an impression back in June with the worst trailer at E3, and it more than lived up to that potential when it finally came out last week. Tyler, who played it so that you don't have to, described it as a spectacular disaster, not just a bad game but a full-scale catastrophic failure whose existence is even more remarkable when you consider t...

Actual deaf people have played The Quiet Man and found it very much wanting; when you play it you clip into almost every surface available and during fights may suddenly teleport from one punching animation to another with a block of frames missing in between; the main character Dane isn t a Quiet Man at all and he actually makes a lot of noise. Yes, sure, all that is true. You ve seen everyone t...

The Quiet Man, which released today, stars an Abercrombie Fitch model—actually a bodyguard, I think—who seems to be obsessed with a woman who looks like his dead mom. I mean, maybe? The coupling of live action video and 3D combat is such a layer cake of clichés that I can't tell if it's meant to be a story or a promo for a stock video collection. Woman smiles. Me...

The FMV revival continues today with the launch of The Quiet Man, a brawler which is supposed to switch seamlessly between live-action video, in-game cutscenes, and playable fisticuffs. It s not a game I d expect Square Enix to publish, not a game I d expect Human Head (the studio behind the 2006 Prey) to make, and not a game I d expect Imogen Heap to sing t...

It seems a little odd to instantly undermine your game's central selling point. Nonetheless, that's exactly what's happening with Square Enix's new title. The Quiet Man, which is due to release on PC and PlayStation this November, centres on the journey of a deaf protagonist as he searches for a kidnapped "songstress" in a dark city. According to the game's Steam page, one of the key features of t...

Live-action video and third-person beat em up will combine in The Quiet Man on November 1st, publishers Square Enix announced today. Neither the brawling nor the movie look particularly great but I remain delighted by games reviving ye olde FMV ways, trying to combine two mighty different mediums in ways that mostly result in actors chewing scenery. I absolutely think games can combine th...
