I’ve not performed a single boxing sport outdoors of Wii Sports activities this century, however that could possibly be about to alter. Summer Game Fest Live introduced us the reveal of Felt That: Boxing, which stars puppet pugilists.
This challenge from the appropriately named Sans Strings Studio and Seth Inexperienced’s animation firm, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, is billed as “a comedic, over-the-top boxing sport set in a world the place the appeal of furry puppets collides with the fury of boxing.” The clip is structured like a trailer for an underdog sports activities film and it’s simply pleasant.
The snippets of gameplay counsel there might be coaching minigames that embrace dodging slices of burnt toast {that a} coach hurls at your puppet (who is known as Fuzz-E) and, uh, plunging a bathroom. In keeping with the outline on the YouTube video, the builders are aiming to make the “boxing mechanics are deliberately ridiculous, favoring enjoyable over precision, with [puppet] limbs flailing about with an insane sense of chaos.” Beautiful.
This trailer was instantly probably the most fascinating factor throughout SGF Reside as much as that time. Felt That: Boxing doesn’t but have a launch window, however you possibly can wishlist it on Steam now, like I simply did.
