Anyone looking forward to this game? Call of Cthulhu Is based on the Cthulhu Mythos of HP Lovecraft(so you know the game will have a good story.)
Headfirst Productions(Developer of CoC) is trying some interesting things in Call of Cthulhu. CoC will not have a HUD whatsoever, when you're hurt, or low on ammo. The game will have ways of telling you, ways that are supposedly more realistic than the traditional hud(I'm not exactly sure how though).
The damage system in CoC looks very interesting. Supposedly, if you take too much damage to one of your legs, it will break, and cause your character to limp, if you don't treat the injury, it will gradually get worse. You can also break one of your arms, which will cause aiming your weapon to become very difficult. Also if you receive a wound that is bleeding, you'll need to stop the bleeding, or you'll eventually bleed to death. You'll also have to worry about the climate, if your character gets wet, and goes outside in the cold, or stays in a cold area for to long. He'll start to have hypothermia.
According to CoC's website, CoC won't have medic packs laying around. However, it will have "More realistic means of healing". You'll have to treat each injury differently, apparently with some sort of medical equipment.
Call of Cthulhu will have a sanity system. Kinda like the one found in Eternal Darkness. If your character starts to lose his sanity, he'll start hallucinating, hearing voices, it can even effect his ability to see(Double vision, blurred version ect).
Hopefully Call of Cthulhu turns out well. It's been in development for over 4 years, and is suppose to come out for the PC/Xbox this winter. Don't worry about the Xbox version of the game being a shoddy port. According to the developers, the game isn't really a port. Since they've had the Xbox in mind throughout the game's development.
