ObsCure Video Preview – Rising from Obscurity
The upcoming ObsCure game is a reboot of a series that started back in 2004. There were two games in the game’s previous incarnation, both of which received mediocre reviews across the board. There’s no harm then, in totally rebooting the game, keeping the same basic concept and changing the rest to see if it is more favourably accepted.
It also doesn’t hurt that there are more distribution platforms available now, with the advent of methods such as Steam, PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade, publishers no have a method of delivering their games to the public without as much expense from themselves. This is exactly the route that’s being taken with the ObsCure reboot and, as you’ll see from the video preview below, the new game has a very distinct art style the fits with the game’s distribution platforms perfectly.
ObsCure follows the same basic premise as those original games, the player can choose from a selection of characters – each with different abilities and reasons why they’re special – and take them through a selection of levels in an attempt to collect items, smash mutants into little pieces and get to the end of the stage.
If you’ve any questions about the game please feel free to drop them in the comment section below. Please also bare in mind that the footage is taken from an unfinished version of the game.
ObsCure is due to be released soon on PlayStation Network, Xbox LIVE Arcade and Windows PC.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
