Despite MachineGames making two of last generation’s best FPS games, the team isn’t pushing gunplay as the main path forward in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The team views guns as more of a “fallback solution” rather than the main focus. Speaking to Edge magazine, creative director Axel Torvenius says “We do not encourage gunplay. It’s not being pushed as the primary way forward. The primary way forward is always trying to use your wits and your whip.”Indiana Jones isn’t a character who is going to win shootouts with dozens of people, he often uses his wits to outsmart the enemy, or avoid conflict all together. Tovenius says “Indy doesn’t have superpowers. Very often, you can tell that it’s not easy for him to be in a fight. At the end of the day, he’s a teacher and a somewhat clumsy archeologist. He just happens to have this passion that puts him in these weird situations constantly with enemies and traps.”It wouldn’t be true to the character to have him constantly shooting camps for all enemies constantly, and the team at MachineGames wants to emphasize the danger level. We’ve been trying to capture that sense that, if you need to engage in combat, it’s very dangerous to be shot at. It’s also very dangerous to shoot at enemies, because they will have an alarm system and reinforcements coming in.”Creating a game that has guns, but doesn’t push the player to use them is challenging, but the team has found ways to give player’s options. Game director Jerk Gustafsson adds that “we have a game where there’s plenty of guns in there but you choose not to use them, because it’s too loud and it’s too dangerous. You can pick up a gun and switch it to use as a melee weapon. That’s a very in-character use of a gun for Indiana Jones.”While the focus might not be on shooting, it sounds like MachineGames is trying to give players options, while retaining the core characteristics of Indy.

After Rayman 2’s launch in 1999, its creator Michel Ancel deeply wanted some change from the series that made him one of the most acclaimed game designers in the industry. He gathered a team in Montpellier, France, to start his new project. Jean-François Le Quéré joined this team in July 2000 as a level designer after passing a few tests and an interview with Michel. Beyond Good & Evil was his first professional experience in the industry. “Videogames schools didn’t exist at the time, so the team was made of passionate people coming from diverse environments,” he tells us. “Each of them could bring their own background and references to enrich the game, making it a very varied experience.”Thus, variety became Beyond Good & Evil’s main characteristic. Variety in terms of gameplay mechanics, considering that stealth and fighting phases alternate with hovercraft races and animal shooting sessions thanks to Jade’s handy camera.

According to a former Naughty Dog developer, Kingdom Hearts played a role in the studio’s development of its beloved action-adventure sequel Jak 2.Josh Scherr worked for over 21 years at Naughty Dog, with the first 13 spent as the cinematic animation lead on gems like Jak and Daxter, Jak 2, and Jak 3. Jak 2 shipped in 2003, and it featured many firsts for the iconic series – Dark Jak, Haven City, and cutscenes with unique character models. According to Scherr, though, it’s actually another smash-hit title from many gamers’ childhoods that inspired this shift to more high-resolution models in Jak 2.True story: on J&D, we used the same character models for both gameplay & cutscenes (Daxter didn’t have fully articulated fingers). For J2, we saw early screenshots of Kingdom Hearts, went “oh shit,” & made high-res models for cutscenes. And still did it without visible loading! https://t.co/pN42dfueoMOctober 14, 2024Speaking in a recent post on the matter, Scher…

Sonic the Hedgehog fans know the Chao – cute, wispy little creatures that are sort of like fairies or spirits. They’re seen on the promo art for the highly anticipated upcoming game Sonic x Shadow: Generations – and now, the Chao are getting their own manga tie-in to the game focusing on Chao versions of Sonic and Shadow.Appropriately titled Sonic x Shadow: Generations x Chao, the manga will be written by longtime Sonic comic writer Ian Flynn, with art from Miisa Shion and colors by Min Ho Kim.Details about the new manga are a little sparse at the moment, with Sega’s official announcement on Twitter giving almost nothing away – including where fans will be able to read it. The announcement simply reads: “While Sonic and Shadow go through their journey in SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS…what are the Chao up to? Join the Sonic Chao and Shadow Chao on a special journey by @IanFlynnBKC!” This is far from the first Sonic-related manga or comic. Indeed, there have been Sonic …
