E3 Roundup: Holiday Shopping List Part 4
Fat Princess
A wonderful looking PSN title with class based combat. Not a huge amount of new information but it still looks like wonderful silly fun. They were showing a pirate ship level which includes a drawbridge instead of the castle door that was in the beta. Not really sure how you are meant to get over it directly, but I assume that there was another way in considering someone did actually rescue the princess.
Bioshock 2
Not a huge amount was shown about Bioshock 2, some people got to see the multiplayer which you play as a splicer before the fall of Rapture which is weird because you fight with a whole bunch of plasmid powers but Rapture is all pristine and new whereas it probably shouldn’t be. Still excited for the game though but as with a lot of people I kind of think of the multiplayer in Bioshock as an unneeded feature. But it still could be cool, so I’ll wait till I actually play it myself.
Alpha Protocol
An RPG from Obsidian who made KOTOR 2, Neverwinter Nights 2. This on the other hand is much more action oriented and based in modern day and you play a spy. So apparently they are taking a number of cues from things like James Bond and trying to create that in a game which is cool. Also conversation trees which is something that both these guys and the guys at Bioware have in common. In conversation you have a time limit on what you are going to say so that what you say follows on the conversation more naturally, on the flip side I still have no idea what happens once the timer runs out, although I guess that it would just pick a default.
