Xenus HQ has a hands-on preview of Deep Shadows' 'Xenus' based on some beta play at an event called "Igrograd" (City of Games). Here's a taste:The in-game territory of Colombia is huge (about 625 square km or 244 square miles): most of it is covered by jungle with several cities, villages and military bases. Moving through the jungle we met a lot of birds and different kinds of insects. Your enemies in the jungle are snakes, which can be easily spotted on the ground, and jaguars - fast and very dangerous. The cities in the game are alive: citizens are working (traders, labourers, etc.) or just walking down the streets, Cars are driving along the roads and the the city is not safe: if you are not careful, you can be killed by a car on the road or you can even die in a street fight between factions (both of these things happened to me :)). You can talk to all the people you see: several questions will appear in the lower part of the screen for which you can get your answer. As for military bases, they are only occupied by soldiers and can either be friendly or hostile to you depending on your reputation with them. |
