[Xbox 360 #497]Trying to Reach the Master chief

quote:

Dead Space 2 isn't out until January next year, but developer Visceral Games hopes it'll be successful enough for EA to sound the call for a third game in the action horror series.

The EA-owned developer has mapped out a huge timeline of events to draw upon when creating future games, and already knows where it'll take the story next.

But Visceral will only get the go ahead from on high to create Dead Space 3 if Dead Space 2 receives an "outpouring of support" from gamers and critics, executive producer Steve Papoutsis told Eurogamer this morning.

"We've mapped out where we'd like to go with it. Not at a super high level of detail. But, for instance, we've just released our novel, Martyr. We've talked about the inception of the Unitology religion.

"We've thought about it all. But ultimately, just like with Dead Space 2, we have to have the support from the players in order to do it.

"Hopefully the game comes out, people like it, it has critical support, and a lot of people buy it. And then we'll get an opportunity to do another one.

"Nobody's going to just let you go and do another game just because. You have to have the people that are interested in it.

"That was what was great about Dead Space 2. There was such an outpouring of support that it was easy for us to get the company behind it and give us the opportunity to make it.

"Games are complex and expensive. It really helps when you've got a lot of people who are excited and supportive of what you're doing. We can do great things when that happens.

"But when there isn't an outpouring of support it doesn't make a lot of sense to do that.

"We're working really hard to make sure this game's better so we get a chance to do Dead Space 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 and 20."

Dead Space 2, due out on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 28th January, continues the story of space engineer Isaac and adds competitive human versus necromorph multiplayer.

With Visceral at the polishing stage of development, attention turns to the future.

Papoutsis said a full-blown open world game "could be kinda cool", but not in keeping with the somewhat story-driven Dead Space experience Visceral excels at.

"I don't see why you couldn't [take Dead Space into open world territory]," Papoutsis said. "When we think about Dead Space we think of a very story driven experience. Generally speaking an open world doesn't lend itself to that.

"You can. There have been great open world games – inFamous – there are a bunch of games that have that element.

"But really what we're good at is that crafted progression you're seeing currently when we demonstrate Dead Space 2 and what you've seen in Dead Space."

But wouldn't Visceral get tired of making Dead Space games?

Not a chance, according to Papoutsis.

"It's pretty cool. We're all really into it. The fact that so many people care about what we're making – we've all been making games for years. It doesn't happen often where you get this level of support.

"I worked on a lot of different games. I worked on Tiger Woods, Lord of the Rings games, James Bond games, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – 15 years worth of games. This is probably the most support I've ever seen for a franchise I've been on. So it's pretty cool."

Dat was met 2 player coop op de moeilijkste difficulty. Sowieso bij grote gevechten met veel tegenstanders waarbij je die dropships had was ie traag, en aan het einde van level 2 of 3 ofzo waarbij je uit een half kapot gebouw naar buiten kijkt lag de framerate ver onder de 20.

Nergens last van gehad hebben kan ook weer niet want elk spel op een xbox 360 heeft last van framedrops en lage framerate ( behalve COD MP met voeiende framerate ) .

Visceral wil na Dead Space 2 verder met de franchise, maar laat het wel afhangen van hoe men (reviewers en gamers) DS2 vindt.

Ik bel Steve wel even eind januari als ik DS2 uit heb

"Fantastische game Steve! Alleen vond ik hem toch nog best wel pittig op easy! Zouden jullie daar in deel 3 rekening mee kunnen houden?"

DS was echt best makkelijk. Behalve Nightmare dan. Dat was gewoon dikke frustratie omdat je 6 schoten per Necromorph nodig had

Dat stuk bij dat gebouw was kut inderdaad, daar dropte die van mij ook wel... Daarnaast als er af en toe een enorme explosie is dan dropt ie ook wel wat (naar de 20 ofzo), maar niet erger dan dat. Als je het echt vaak hebt zal ik me echt zorgen gaan maken over mn 360, want in-game is hij voor de rest zo smooth als boter bij mij.

“We’re bursting to say it, so we might as well just put it out there: Enslaved is a phenomenal experience, and a genuine glimpse into a near future in which games and Hollywood finally get it on.”

“Forget David Cage’s heavy-handed Heavy Rain; in Enslaved every nuance of a character’s expression conveys emotions mere words cannot do justice.”

“Enslaved’s universe is similarly spectacular, grabbing you by the short and curlies during Monkey’s initial hair-raising escape from a Slaver’s ship and never once letting go.”

“There’s a Technicolor swagger here that makes even Uncharted 2 look drab, though it’s fair to say that – in terms of textures at least – Ninja Theory’s baby is a poor relation to Naughty Dog’s opus.”

“Enslaved is also, if not quite a king, then a prince of the set piece.”

“Ninja Theory are throwing all kind of conceptual camera angles at you – dazzling you with their flair for pacing and cinematography.”

“Enslaved is a long game considering it’s genre – a good ten hours to beat.”…”It definitely sags a bit during its middle chapters,…,but picks up spectacularly again before a quite beautiful if strangely sad ending that poses as many questions as it answers.”

“It’s a shame then that the actual mechanics never quite match up to the art and cinematography.”

“There is also a tendency not to know what the heck is going on and button mash your way to victory, but it all looks nice enough and is consistently entertaining. Just don’t expect depth.”

“Mechanically then, Enslaved is as rough-around-the-edges as grizzled Monkey himself – but then this game really is about the journey, and when it finally draws to a close a little part of out heart broke at the though of perhaps never seeing Monkey or Trip again. If you’re seeking a roller-coaster ride that piles on thrills and spills, you should absolutely submit yourself to Enslaved’s manifold charms.”

The guided demo will go live everywhere else tomorrow, but if you've got an Xbox 360, we'd suggest queuing up the clip for download right now.

Als je vraag nog niet beantwoordt is volgens jou moet je een LOI'tje begrijpend lezen volgen.

Polygamia.pl: BioShock Infinite first gameplay

Men is lekker zuinig met de scripted events. Het schietmechanisme lijkt ook weer ondergeschoven, blijft toch een zwakke aspect van de serie.

Nieuwe setting trekt me wel meer though.
