Ok some details on this killer game I mentioned a few hours ago. I cannot give the name out, somehow I have maintained my ethics and morals within this very hostile planet of ours.
3D act/adv/platformer/puzzle game, the best graphics and gameplay of all games I have ever experienced, bar none. MO will be there with it when all is said and done I'm sure, but it's good to have more than one incredible game coming.
Lighting, textures, sound,all perfect. The best way to describe it would be to say this game came from the future,from let's say 2006 on XBOX 2.
Until I get confirmation and more details at E3 I shall call this game (code-name.... "Heavens beast" ). The beta is about 8 hours worth of gameplay I have been told, I went through about 4 hours, alot of playtime for me, it's almost impossible to quit playing. I will give more input next time on more of the game. I finished one of 60 missions or sections, this game will last 150-200 hours. I wish it would last for 2000 hours, and if you would see it you would agree I am sure.
Basic explanation of the game, difficult because it is soooo deep, and I have just nicked the tip of the iceberg.
You ( the gameplayer ) are the chosen one. You find yourself in a cage dangling over a chasm of infinite depth. You are not alone.... your followers are with you, there are 24 of them. They are your supporters and do what you ask.
You must find out who you are, beyond being the so-called chosen one, what you must do, where you must go. It is all a mystery waiting to be un-locked.
The lands are infinite, you are in a place with no beginning or end. The game feels infinite, it is HUGE,and perfect looking. Such ambiance, depth, it is serious looking and more on the adult side, dark but with beauty at all viewpoints.
You can control all 25 characters, you instruct and they follow your orders, you can watch them or you can take control of any of the characters and do it yourself if you feel in the mood to do so.
All the characters have up to 20 various attributes, you must know which to use and when, not one character is alike, that's 500 different attributes, not one character has the same attributes. I told you it is deep, and i've just seen the smallest portion of the game.
Original characters in gameplay and look, like Oddworld in a way.Perfectly designed, top notch models. ( Did I mention the 12 transports available, Elum start getting excited ).
The game has stealth,action,puzzle,exploration to the max, roleplay elements. I would say that early on in the game the breakdown is something like this: 30%-action; 20%-stealth; 20%-puzzle; 20% exploration; and about 10 % roleplay elements within.
It's got deep thunderstorms, vast landscapes, coral reefs, swamps, major wind conditions that by the way you can feel the actual physics of. And that's just the first 2% of the game.
The characters can climb,swim,jump,fly,go into chameleon mode,various weapons of hand to hand combat to major blasting power, drills to dig with, grapple hooks, magic potions of at least 50 various connotations ( I am told ). I have seen about 25 unique abilities or powers/weapons, there are 500+ I am told, incredible. Oh yes and scouting abilities, lot'd of fun to go ahead and scout and figure out your best plan of attack or stealth options. And you must combine certain characters attributes to move forward. You have to see it to believe it.
OK this is the longest post of all time, I am sure. The game is supposed to be coming (3) weeks after the launch of XBOX, early December in the States.
The enemy creatures, oh those creatures.... 50 various creatures will populate the game, the most intense ones of all time I can say for sure already, I have seen just (4), but what a 4 they are.
I can go on forever, but I'll get some more news on it to anyone if intersted next time, thanks for letting me get my excitement out. Just toooo many great games coming, to choose your top ones is getting difficult. But MO now has company, trust me.
