![]() The future
is a dark place, and you'll definitely want to be there.
Many people doubted that it would be released on the Nintendo 64. Silicon Knights' president Denis Dyack also said that "historically, we have never, ever not completed a game or project," and "I believe that the Dolphin platform will dominate the next generation of console systems - hands down...it's turned out to be one of the best pieces of technology and gaming machines that I've ever seen." These comments were indications that the project was indeed still alive within the company. Then just over a month ago at Space World 2000 the first glimpse of what is sure to be one of the most anticipated Gamecube games to hit the system was shown. Silicon Knights presented pre-rendered clips of the game as a demo video that ran on the show floor. If the title stays the same to the over two years of development time spent on the PlayStation, then we can look for one hell of a plot-driven, action-packed cyber adventure when it hits the Gamecube. The is a future where humans are no longer the simple, organic beings we once were. Now apparently all life has evolved into some form of cybernetic crossbreed of robot and man. The early version of the game was designed to allow players to customize their body parts with various mechanical upgrades, allowing for specialized abilities such as faster player movement, additional strength, stealth, and so on. As far as style goes, think of it as a strange mix of part Blade Runner and part Dune, with just a flare of samurai and ancient Japanese influences. What a combination! It is unclear if the weaponry in the game will be technical ammunition or simple swordsmanship, but either way the game will rock, this game is guaranteed to blow you away with intense action and a gripping storyline to pull you through it all. As mentioned, it was originally designed as a four-disc game for the CD format, so you can expect roughly the same 80+ hours of gameplay from this new and improved version. It is still unclear if that means more than one Gamecube disc will be necessary, but don't be surprised if Silicon Knights manages to ship it all on one mini-DVD. At this point, This is one of the downright fiercest offerings to hit the Gamecube within coming years. Considering that the game has literally been in development since early 1998, developer Silicon Knights should be ready to deliver to fans what they've been promising all this time, intense and stylish fun.
