I didn’t know about it until yesterday night, and since then I have spent some time collecting information about this game. So what do we know about it? We know that it’ll be released for XBox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows. We also know it’s going to be in the shelves on November 11. At least that is the targeted date. It is built upon the fairly recent Unreal Engine 3, which enables real stunning effects.
The main character is a beautiful (and hot) girl named Faith. She is a runner and has to rescue her sister from the corrupt government. She cannot use normal means of communication such as mobile or landline phones, Internet or email, or maybe even letters. Everything appears to be monitored for the government, and she can’t risk being exposed.
Faith is pretty hot and sweet all right, but also has a dangerous task on her hands
The focus of the game is to maintain physical contact with the environment, while trying to figure out the next optimal move. In the game, the so-called Runner Vision enables Faith to see what would be the next move - Runner Vision highlights elements of the environment in red.
Runner Vision highlights elements Faith can use in red
Over the course of the game the Runner Vision will remain, but the highlighted elements will decrease, leaving the choice of where to go next to the player. This enables for more choice, more openness, more puzzle solving fun.
While this game is First-Person, it is not a shooter as such. It could be more categorized as a Parkour solving game, similar to maybe Prince Of Persia - only set in a free roaming environment, similar to Liberty City in GTA. Weapons appear to be only a secondary element to Faith.
Police will apparently try everything to stop Faith from getting to her sister
The screens you see here are all live renders from the console, meaning it is in-game footage. And let’s be honest here: it looks absolutely awesome!
The trailer for the game gives a pretty good taste of what’s to come in November - the game itself and a pretty awesome soundtrack. In the trailer, you can see a lot of detail, and it shows that the makers have put in messages, that tell you even more about the game, and the work behind.
From the trailer analysis of GameTrailers.com. Can she jump as well?
All in all, I can’t really wait for this game now. I’m seriously looking forward to it in November. And I hope you do too, after having seen the trailers.
