We're using Unity as the framework to build upon, but we've ripped out and replaced large chunks of it. We've had to completely discard the standard physics based lighting model and write our own character shader to achieve the painterly look we want. On the technical side we're doing some interesting stuff. Such as using hand painted normal maps to make the character models appear more like brushwork and less like 3D. As huge queues were forming on other side of the world to sample Monster Hunter World at Tokyo Game Show, it was also playable in an unassuming corner of the PlayStation booth at EGX. But wherever and however long you waited to play, Capcom's tease of what's to come in January was a meaty one.

The game was originally due out around the end of 2017, but with a suite of amazing ideas as dense as what Alice reported on here, it's no surprise that it slipped to an undetermined point in 2018. The official press materials mention that on top of rearranging your own character's internal mental makeup, your choice of clothing will have effects on how the world reacts to you. I've not seen that used in an RPG to any real degree outside of the venerable old Arcanum, so it's nice to see the concept returning.Disco Elysium is a role-playing video game that features an open world and dialogue-heavy gameplay mechanics. [1] [2] The game is presented in an isometric perspective in which the player character is controlled. [3] The player takes the role of a detective, who suffers from alcohol and drug-induced amnesia, on a murder case. [4] The player can move the detective about the current screen to interact with non-player characters (NPC) and highlighted objects or move onto other screens. Early in the game they gain a partner, Kim Kitsuragi, another detective who acts as the protagonist's voice of professionalism and who may be able to offer advice or support in certain dialogue options. Other NPCs may be influenced to become temporary companions that join the group and provide similar support. The module will be delivered by means of 1 one-hour lecture and 1 two-hour seminar”a week.

Society seems a concept long since forgotten in the city of Revachol, the once-proud capital of the world you wake up in. Martinaise, the district where you’ll spend most of your time, is an impoverished hub of anger and discontent, but it’s a captivating place to be. On the surface, no one appears happy here, perhaps apart from the few who grasp tightly onto power with a greedy fist. It’s a beautifully realised depiction of a firmly ugly place – you instantly get a sense of the world you’ll spend upwards of 30 hours trawling through; snow falls softly onto abandoned vehicles, crumbling, neglected architecture haunts the streets, and broken statues commemorating a long-fabled war serve as a reminder of what happened here.

Falling Sky

You play as a little dung beetle, and you're attached to a ball of some kind, for some reason that doesn't really matter other than that it allows you to be satisfyingly catapulted around the game world with pinball paddles and launch pads. Like all good detective stories, what appears simple at first becomes so much more than that in Disco Elysium – and here it gets so, so much weirder, too. It takes the age-old mechanics of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons and twists them in strange ways around a macabre tale of violence, poverty, and a society on the brink of collapse. Through sharply written dialogue and an expertly crafted world, it uses some unique game mechanics - such as debating against 24 different sections of your own brain - to create an experience that will stay with me for a long time. And, somehow, it manages to make all of this fun and, surprisingly often, funny. A fearless exploration of the mysteries of life and death, this is the author's most powerful work in his old age.
