An aptly named shooter.

During this year's Future Games Show we saw a glimpse of an upcoming survival shooter codenamed Project Ferocious. That's a codename good enough to keep for the finished project, like Untitled Goose Game, because it fits perfectly. Project Ferocious is an FPS set on an island full of prehistoric monsters—a mysterious lost world where the well-armed human inhabitants are as dangerous as the dinosaurs.

It seems like there's a strong exploration element to Project Ferocious, with climbing and swimming—and the water seems no safer than the land—as well as vehicles to get around in. The shooting looks intense, with a variety of modern-day weapons and destructible environments, and we saw a glimpse of a healing animation involving hands being bandaged reminiscent of Far Cry or Trespasser.

Project Ferocious is the work of indie developer OMYOG and sure does look slick for an indie FPS. It's got a Steam page too and is targeting a release in 2023.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
