Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Destructoid has gotten its hands on a world exclusive trailer for the impressive looking Steampunk adventure game, Edge of Twilight. This is a special gift from the studio to us, and can only be viewed on Destructoid. I wanted to keep it to myself, but I guess I'll share.

Quite why the game was not shown at Southpeak's booth, or why developer Fuzzyeyes had to show me the trailer in a quiet corner of the showfloor, I do not know. What I do know, however, is that this video is absolutely amazing, and should be viewed by anyone who likes a really epic video.

This game is looking hotter and hotter with each new video, and I have incredibly high hopes for it. I don't know why it's being kept so quiet, either. This game deserves attention.

Aussie pride!

The music and slowmo really nailed the feel of the trailer for me, I am very interested in this game now.

I'm skeptical of anything South Peak is involved with.

The different areas definitely look varied enough to provide a continuously refreshing setting, and that action was wicked --- even when slowed down!

So many great action games coming out!

That looks very, very impressive. And I prefer Cyberpunk to Steampunk.

Mainly looking at it from an artistic point of view, not only is Steampunk hard to get right on a technical level in terms of polycount and lots of moving objects, but artistically it's a challenge too, and that trailer just proves that the developer, in my opinion at least, executed it fantastically.

Why the hell this is being kept quiet I have no idea, but it's nice to see a Dtoid exclusive. ;)

This is clearly a studio that knows how to build excitement for a game. Most developers out there over-hype their game so that whatever gets produced is inevitably a disappointment. I'm intrigued.

I will root for this game's success.

I think after that trailer gets around then there will be PLENTY of attention paid to this one. Can't wait to see more!

Some of the more original looking character designs and georgous action sequences, especially the blooming blood weird creatures. My thumb is very up.

I don't know how good the game will be, but I will say that's one of the coolest video game trailers I've ever seen.

Oh my God that was hot. Beautiful art design, gorgeous graphics, and some pretty damn slick action bits. It certainly looks pretty, but I wonder if it's actually fun to play...

hmm. halfway there. crank it up a few more notches and you've got yourself a stylized world.

The Golden Avatar mentioned he was skeptical about anything coming from South Peak, so I checked their release history. Turns out they're responsible for X-Blades, which most D-toiders should be uncomfortably familiar with, especially you, Sterling. They're also responsible for both Two Worlds AND Velvet Assassin, two notoriously bad games.

So yeah, as much I love these trailers (my loins quiver with every word that comes out of the narrator's mouth), I'm just as skeptical that this might end up being anything other than awful.

Also, what the heck are you talking about, 2:45? It's only 2 minutes and thirty-three seconds long.

I'm really excited for this game and I only first heard about it a few days ago. I'm a huge fan of the steampunk aesthetic so the thought of a game like this makes me lose sleep. The more polished brass, the better.

Very cool, hope it does well. It'll be tough to erase the stink of Velvet Assassin though.

I heard from a friend that this title is not connected to Southpeak anymore, I guess Fuzzyeyes have some taste, plus I do not see any Southpeak logo on the video.

If that's true this game now has a chance to be good. Southpeak is the 4kids of video games. If you see the logo you know it sucks

I've always wanted a steam punk inspired game and this looks amazing. I really hope this turns out well, trailer gave me goosebumps as well. Combat looks intriguing.

Think it would be cool if you could build your weapons or have a very detailed upgrading system to go with the steam punk element.

Anyone else think this looks kind of shit? It's like last year's graphics, on last decade's gameplay engine, narrated by Yoda doing his best "Voice of God" impression.

I can't be the only one, but judging from the comments in this thread it's pretty clear that most of you have very low standards. That or you all have 360s and things are worse on that side than even I had realized.
TripleZer0's Avatar - Comment posted on 06/04/2009 03:46

@hpv It's just a trailer. I'm sure the graphics will be better when it's actually released. I agree that the voice was a little Yoda-ish in the beginning.

A+ for your efforts at trolling though. The last thing we need is a PS3 vs 360 flame war.

Coming from someone close to the team; Southpeak are no longer involved with the project and Fuzzyeyes are currently going through the legal process in order to make it official. Hence why you won't see Southpeak's logo on any of the new promotional material for Edge of Twilight, or any of the material shown at E3.

Fuzzyeyes are currently seeking a new publisher for Edge of Twilight.

hpv: Those graphics are incomplete. Besides which, it is a small, small studio, and I am frankly impressed that they've created even this much with their small size and budget. I think it looks really good right now, and it's not even finished. It's certainly not as beautiful as some games out there, but the art style overrides it, in my opinion.
