Judas er fortsat ikke ude endnu, og det er til trods for at det er over 10 år siden Ken Levine for første gang begyndte at tale om projektet, som han netop beskrev som "narrative LEGO". Ideen var dengang, at det var et narrativ der for alvor kunne tage form efter spillerens handlinger (selvom dette i sig selv ikke er synderligt nyt), men spørger du ham, så er det også grunden til at Judas tog så lang tid om at tage form.
I et interview med IGN siger han dette:
"The reason it took so long is not really related to rendering technology or anything like that. It was figuring out how we crafted the system, this narrative Lego system that is combining modular elements together dynamically at runtime to make stories happen that are very reactive to the player. So we had a technology, and then we had to figure out how to write a story for that. Like how do we write stories at maximum leverage? As much as you love the stories from BioShock and BioShock Infinite, they are pretty linear experiences; outside of the combat, they're not that highly reactive to player action in the same way. And I really wanted to do a game that was, you know, sort of the opposite end of the spectrum from that."
I gameplay traileren ser dette system ikke umiddelbart ud til at være mere end den lettere modulære spiloplevelse vi har set før, hvor beslutning A får konsekvens B - men det kan selvfølgelig være at Judas er så banebrydende, at Levines ord giver mening.
Hvad synes du om hans udtalelse her?
