X10 - hvad lover udviklerne?
Det er væltet ind på redaktionen med pressemeddelelser og billeder fra nogle af dette års største Xbox 360 samt PC-titler. Gik du glip af den første bølge billeder imorges, er det bare at kigge under menuen nyheder.
Hvis du er nysgerrig efter at se hvad de forskellige pressemeddelelser lover, bringer vi her et uddrag af de mest interessante:
Alan Wake
Alan Wake vil byde på samme opbygning som en dramatisk tv-serie. Der nævnes LOST, Twin Peaks og X-files som forbilleder.
"Light as a combat element. As Wake journeys deeper into the mystery of Bright Falls, the shadows close in around him. When darkness descends, light becomes his only ally as he fights his way to daybreak. . This poses a severe problem for Alan Wake since his enemies seemingly gain strength from the shadows, and before long, light itself becomes his greatest ally. Players must skillfully combine their use of light with more conventional weapons to stand a chance.
Realistic, interactive environment. Set in the town of Bright Falls, the hyper-detailed environments of the Pacific Northwest play an important role; even the change in daylight and weather will profoundly affect the characters and enemies in "Alan Wake." The game's advanced rendering engine provides amazingly realistic environments that bring this world to detailed life - from the lush forest of evergreen trees to the quaint small-town buildings and streets. The world of "Alan Wake" is alive and real.
Episodic narrative. The mission-based structure of "Alan Wake" creates an episodic narrative similar to a deeply structured dramatic television series, such as LOST, Twin Peaks and X-Files. As the episodes progress, gameplay will evolve to introduce new elements and characters, escalating the level of threat and action in the game."

Crackdown 2 får i næste omgang mulighed for kampe med op til 16 spillere og fire spillere kan arbejde sammen om hovedhistorien.

Divided and expanded with new environments in every direction, the city has never been more perilous. From the rooftops to the sewers, players will utilize their surroundings to the fullest to take back Pacific City. "
Dead Rising 2
Dead Rising 2 lover tusindvis af zombier på skærmen på samme tid, og selvfølgelig nye groteske måde at kombinere redskaber og våben.
"With hundreds of zombies on screen at any one time, the original Dead Rising forced gamers to take everyday objects they found in the Mall and use them as weapons. In its sequel, Dead Rising 2, thousands of zombies now fill every square inch of Fortune City and Chuck is going to need to be even more resourceful and inventive. Cue combination weapons...
Players will be able to take two objects, a roll of tape and with a little inventiveness create an advanced zombie-killing combo weapon - a piece of wood and a lawnmower become a Portamower, the handheld mower that cuts zombies down to size in an instant, while a garden rake and car battery combine to create an electrified zombie prod. Using combination weapons to fend off hoards of the undead in fun and grotesque ways is only just the beginning as the more combo weapons a player uses, the more Prestige Points (PPs) they will rack up. Earn enough PPs and Chuck levels up which will help players along the way. "
