The Behemoth reveals artwork for latest game, hat robot cries photo

Above is the first glimpse of The Behemoth's latest project, an as-yet unannounced game that should be revealed in full very soon. In fact, the studio is suggesting that before the date of March 18, the very first trailer will make itself known. Until then, all we have is this above image, which says very little, but is still undeniably cute.

A robot in a hat looks longingly at a gem while tears fall from his eyes. Behind him are other, more sinister robots, and what may be a cash register is also in shot. Obviously the videogame is about a robot who wants to buy jewelry, but cannot afford it. Probably. We don't know. 

It's really cute though, right? Look at the cute little robot!

You've got to notice which side the cash register is facing! The Crying Robot is being -paid- the jewel. Perhaps for his adorable hat.

Will it be broken as hell upon release?
Will we have to wait 6 months for a patch?
Will it be hyped to DEATH?

Well I think that last one is already happening, shame about CC's brokeness as it soured me on the behemoth and I probably won't buy another game from them again.

@Kyou-whatever the only thing broken was the multiplayer, and the reason it was hyped for months was because it really was amazing. I played it at comic con and I had no reason to doubt the hype.

That doesn't really get me that excited... Castle Crashers had me oozing with excitement... want to see more and feel excited...

Since Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers were both fantastic games I'm psyched about this next release. I still don't understand how people can harbor so much hate towards a video game, since they likely didn't like it very much in the first place. That, and the fact that none of us actually know why the patch was delayed for so long. Bickering on the internet with strangers is stupid.

This is Behemoth we're talking about. A square head does not mean it's a robot.

Its a little robot who's been hanging out with the wrong people and got hooked on crack; the jewels are his mother's robot wedding jewels and he's pawning them to pay his dealer, whose heavies can be seen in the background. There are tears in his eyes cause he knows he can't sink any lower.

Don't do it little robot!

Hat as a playable character DLC confirmed! Already better than Killzone 2!

The little smidgen of gray in front of the gem leads me to believe someone is attempting to pay the hat robot for something with it. Like that bit of gray is a mitteny hand.

I wonder what game platform they will do a homage for this time. Alien Hominid resembled Metal Slug and Castle Crashers resembled Battletoads.

@doctor insidious

You'd be right about it earning the hype, and the multiplayer glitch wouldn't have been that bad if that was the only problem. But what about the deleting characters glitch? That really ticked people off, losing their characters they spent hours grinding.

yes i see a hand handing over a gem to a shop owner who is selling those robots in the background.

or someone is bribing him to use his robots to do some sort of dirty deed.

could be a strategy game in a little town(like the old FF towns)where you are some sort of tax man and you use robots to persuade people into paying there taxes by destroying there plants and burning down houses ETC..

So far, each of their games pays homage to a retro game type... I wonder what's next? Is that a shop keeper in a classic RPG? Some kind of bejeweled puzzle game, or maybe an adventure game?

Here's what the game's about, according to the picture:

The game takes place in different types of fast-food restaurants, usually manned by blockheads who are sad about their lives and for whom serving you represents the latest in a long series of soul-crushing life experiences. These restaurants specialize in serving specialized cakes that are shaped like life-sized devil-bots, but their marketing departments suck, so they have TONS of back stock going bad. The game is played from the first-person perspective. You, as James Pie-tin-hand, are tasked with two things: throwing hats in order to cast diagonal shadows over peoples' faces, and then covering as much of the unsold robot-cake overstock as possible with different types of crystals so you can take photos with your laser-guided cameraface. With your hands made of pie-tins, you hoist up heavier and heavier crystals and throw browner and browner hats in order to get the best picture. It's like Pokemon Snap except that, instead of Pokemon, you're shooting partially obscured images of sculptural specialty cake overstock with sad blockheads in the background, with bonus points awarded for making them cry by tossing hats on them in a way that makes diagonal shadows. Otherwise, totally the same game.

Paladin's such a ripoff artist. I've seen this concept a million times.
