NC Soft's Lineage 2 has been previewed at Gamespy based on their experiences at the recent CPL event. Here's a clip:Lineage 2 is actually a prequel to the existing Lineage game, but by looking at it, you'd never know it. Using a modified version of the latest Unreal engine, the game is beautifully rendered, and thanks to the technology, there are no load times once you get the game going. In other words, there is no "zoning" or anything else to take you out of this alternate reality. Some areas are amazing enough to just stop and look, taking in the details present throughout. For example, one of the race's starting areas features a giant statue that's actually underneath the grating that works as a floor. If you don't look down, you'll never see it, but once you do, it's very impressive. |
