zaphod Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 I haven't heard of this game before which isn't surprising since I don't keep up with whats coming up much any more - but I was just browsing through the screenshots for this game and I was "happy-pantsed" down with flash websites but check out the screenshots, some of the environments are down right juicy and crammed full of character. It's like heart of darkness meets flight of the pheonix. http://www.paradise-game-us.com/ It's refreshing to see an adventure game like this that looks so great when every great looking screenshot you see nowadays is bump mapped with sparks freeze-framed in the middle of a firefight / car crash. It's a fresh setting that is invigorating to look at copared to all the sci-fi / modern combat / gta / ww2 games we always see. Quote
Nysuatro Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 Ok i am going to buy that. It looks delicious. Quote
cdxx Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 looks promising. I love adventure / puzzle games like this. I just wish the character didn't wear the same clothes throughout the entire game. Looking though the screenshots it got a little old seeing the main character so static. There's gotta be a better way to add some dynamics to them. Quote
Puddy Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 Nysu: Nice signature. Refreshing. Yes, I have to agree. This looky yummy :> Quote
ReNo Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 Some of the shots are really beautiful, but all in all I can't say I'm all that impressed. Main character looks awful Quote

Fletch Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 Really unnatural animations on her walking around, and I don't know if I like clicking puzzle games (I fucking hate Myst). I really want some old school LucasArts style stuff, though. Give me a box full of wind up bunnies and a minefield any day. Quote

zaphod Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Posted May 3, 2006 I didn't watch any videos, I just dug the art direction of the environments Quote
Gaz Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 You should try Syberia Looks quite similar, except the character is better Great story too Quote
Thrik Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 Adventure games are too shit and serious these days. I think they're afraid to try and be funny, or perhaps they're just no good at it. Quote
Phatsniper Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 Last adventure game I enjoyed was Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon. This looks cool, I'll have to try a demo first though. Quote

I think they're afraid to try and be funny, or perhaps they're just no good at it. it's rumored that al lowe will return from retirement to make a title or two. if thats true you can expect some good stuff that'll be sure to make you laugh.
