When we first wrote about Neo Berlin 2087 last year, we highlighted just how strange the project seemed to be — a sentiment that was shared across countless YouTube comments and social media posts. A PS5 shooter from German indie developer Elysium Game Studio, it boasts the kind of graphical fidelity that you'd associate with AAA endeavours. But at the same time, the animations, voice acting, and a bunch of other elements are just... completely off.
The title's new trailer continues this bizarre trend. It's roughly two minutes of impressive character models, eye-popping lighting effects, and some lovely environmental detail. But then you glimpse the downright weird facial animations and janky gameplay segments. "How can this look so high budget and dirt cheap at the same time?" asks the top comment on PlayStation's upload of the trailer. Our thoughts exactly!
New Berlin 2087 doesn't have a release window yet, and we couldn't possibly tell you how far along it is. As you can probably tell, we're just as bemused as you are.
