Gravity's "Cute" FPS game Paperman

silverkitsune

Link to trailer

Check out this crazy looking first person shooter game Gravity(known for Ragnarok online) is developing.

You basically use "paper people" that moves and react like papers in a CS style gameplay. For example, when you face sideways, you'll be harder to get hit by bullets because you are 2D sheet of paper. The paper character will also show bullet holes after getting hit.
And one of the most interesting point about this game seems like, you can customize your characters in very simple way(since this is 2D paper) using the "papershop".

The trailer is the only thing out there I think, I'll translate the captions in the trailer for you.

-new type of FPS game appears
-war of the papers
-paper action 1: if you shoot, hole appears!, shot area confirmation in real time
-paper action 2: stand sideways and dodge bullets
-paper action 3: amazing arial assault using grenade attack
-best qualities of FPS game retained(?) (I'm not sure Embarassed

)
-collect weapons to widen your options
-quick weapon change system
-best avatar system, customize anyway you want using Papershop

They've been developing the game in secrecy for a while already, and I presume it's for PC. I think this is gonna be a hit among anime fans and 2d lovers, as you can customize your characters in anime style.
I'm not sure how much customization is possible yet. I hope you can have total control over character design, like draw the entire character yourself, not just apply accessories on a precreated defaults.

BTW, it looks silly and funny looking at the dead paper people flat on floors. Laughing

and I love how you can juggle people around in mid-air by shooting at them.

Wow, this certainly is a new innovative way to play an FPS. I'm really looking foward to it, maybe my CS skillz will pull through for me for in this game. I like the unique aspect that it will be harder to hit someone who is sideways because they are flat...and I also like the idea of the "papershop"
