The fact is that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are on autopilot. This isn’t necessarily bad. And we’re not all that sure of ourselves. We are just like everyone else.
The problem is when we’re on autopilot for so long that we forget we’re on autopilot. Because when we’re not even aware of our own habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, then we no longer control them they control us. Whereas a person with self-awareness just hits the bottle and doesn’t look back.
When we are stuck in autopilot we can’t stop ourselves from acting on autopilot. A person with self-awareness can stop themselves from acting out of control by noticing their own behavior and not repeating it. We can’t do that with a person without self-awareness because we don’t have any awareness of our actions or feelings.
The problem is that a person without self-awareness is able to exercise a little meta-cognition and say, “Hmm… every time my sister calls me and asks for money, I end up drinking a lot of vodkas. That might not be a coincidence,” a person with self-awareness just hits the bottle and doesnt look back.
What is perhaps the most interesting detail in the trailer is that Colt is apparently a woman. How someone who has no memory of himself living in a time loop can become a woman who can take out Visionaries, with her own hands, is a bit of a puzzle. I have a feeling it has to do with the game’s story.
When I look at the trailer I see a small, but animated, female character who has just appeared on Deathloop. She has the requisite skills to play the male version of the game.
I would assume that this woman is the character whose name is mentioned in the trailers. The interesting part is that she may have been a man before the events of the game that she’s currently playing. So we’re looking at a character who may not have been there at all. I think this is a clever way for Arkane to try and make the game feel like a sequel.
The trailer for Deathloop is fairly lengthy on its own, but the end result is a bit of a surprise. The main focus is on three levels, one for each of the three characters, and that’s it.
The first thing I noticed about the Deathloop trailer was how much the clothes were a part of the look. As we all know, the game is set in the present day, but the trailer gives us a glimpse of the game’s version of present day, which is a bit more modern and hip. It’s a good look for the game and one that can’t come soon enough.
Kpop music is very different and different from the typical pop music of today. There are elements of rap and hip hop and even punk rock in the music. For a game about time-looping to a party island, it’s a bit of a departure for the genre. As for the clothes. There is an insane amount of outfits. There are some really daring outfits, but there are also a few that just look silly.
