Amy Hennig giver detaljer om Viscerals Star Wars-spil
Vi ved ikke meget om Visceral Games og EA Motives kommende Star Wars-spil. Der er gået et år siden Nolan North sagde at det minder om Uncharted-serien, hvilket spillets creative director Amy Hennig nu har bekræftet.
Under en paneldiskussion til Star Wars Celebration var den tidligere Uncharted-forfatter på scenen for at fortælle en smule om det kommende spil.
Grunden til at de arbejder så tæt sammen med Lucasfilm er at de skriver "an original Star Wars story with new characters, locations, tech, creatures, you name it..."
Oplevelsen skal være så autentisk som muligt. På spørgsmålet om hvordan de vil opnå det, siger hun:
"The process that I've been using is really similar to what I did with Uncharted, to be honest [the crowd cheered]. Thank you. Oh good, They'll like this game then. Which was, if you're trying to re-create that classic - in that case - pulp action adventure experience, you need to deconstruct the films so you know how to reconstruct them in an interactive context as gameplay.
"The end goal of a game like that is that by the time the player has finished playing the game they feel like they really did play a Star Wars film. So I've done the same thing for Star Wars. What does that mean? It's getting the structure right. It means you have to understand where the act breaks fall, where all the obstacles and reversals fall, and the set-pieces. What are all the component parts that make up a Star Wars story."
Hennig antydede også at spillet vil fokusere på flere forskellige figurer.
"What I was really eager to discover is what distinguished Star Wars films from the others I'd been studying in the action-adventure genre. The first thing that jumped out was these are always ensemble stories, and that's actually kind of unusual.
"People would say there's other characters in something like Indiana Jones, but they're side characters. In Star Wars they're co-protagonists, so if you think about the original trilogy, or even the films that are now, it's as much Leia's, Han's, and Vader's story as it is Luke's."
