James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game: Preview (Gamemir 2009) | Property Enhancer

James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game – One of the most high -profile projects on the past Gamere. Many have already heard about him, watched videos, enjoyed a beautiful picture and waited. And so, in the 57th Pavilion of the Air Force, one could calmly go through one mission where we shot from four types of weapons, flew by plane, drove on a jeep and tumbled from a rhino running or an elephant. However, 15 minutes were clearly not enough for us, and therefore we went to the dungeon to “1C”, where we were waiting for a developer, ready to share exclusive information. About “Avatar”, Oddly enough, there are very few facts on the network. And even less – people and truthful.

What is the role of the director?

We were very tormented by one question – what has to do James Cameron To the game? The name is in the name only because “Avatar” It turns out on large screens, or the director really helps in development, controls the process of creating?

From this we started interviews. And they decided in advance that it would be necessary to carefully look at the reaction of the developer. If he is lost for a second and begins to tell that the famous director looks at the general course of work, monitors quality and so on – it means that he has nothing to do with the interactive Pandora. The name is in the name for the sake of money, and with the film the game only relates the scene.

But our question did not at all knock the interlocutor. He immediately replied that not only Cameron takes part in the work on the project, but also the screenwriter of the film. He writes a story, and James modifies it. Together they created a plot that promises to be no worse than in the movie.

Yes, these two products are endowed with different stories. The game takes place several years before the movie. Here is another main character, a slightly different situation. Although some of the heroes of the film will still meet us. But these are secondary comrades, for the temporary gap between two plots is too great.

The game, like the film, will try to touch on the topic of choice, sometimes we can determine for ourselves who to help and what to strive for. We are promised some freedom and an abundance of beautiful videos. We, however, cannot say more. Version “Avatar” There was no complete plot twist on the Gamery, there the emphasis was on “flying, shooting”. Therefore, we will not drag the cat for problem areas and move directly to battles and travel.

Take and see

The first acquaintance with the game took place under the growl of the authors and the editorial office. Everyone tried to control the gamepad. It so happened that the hands of the team Stopgame.ru have long been modified and now sharpened only under the mouse and keyboard, we perceive everything else as the machinations of the devil and the desire of the Americans to capture the world. Therefore, at first we tried to aim and get into the enemy from at least a grenade launcher for half an hour. The next test was getting used to the local picture. At the stand itself, the quality of the video was incredibly disgusting. If you were not on the Gamere and you yourself did not see what was there “Avatar”, then run Farcry 2 or Crysis in resolution 640 by 480. It seems to be beautiful, but the pixels seem to fall out of the monitor now.

We were indignant, but then everything normalized. In the comor “1C” We were shown the version on a huge good plasma TV, where everything was very clear (as well as insanely beautiful), and the developer ruled the main character. We didn’t have to break fingers anymore. True, the creator “Avatar” I lamented that we would not see the main dignity of the project-the stereo-mode in https://www.koreatravelpost.com/wp-content/pgs/?casino-online-con-giochi-unici-e-innovativi.html the demo version was unavailable.

It is amazing that this is the main thing? It seems to be yes, but it turns out that “Avatar” Created with “sharpening” under stereo-oks. Without them, you will lose a lot and you will not be able to appreciate most scenes. It seems that at first glance there is nothing special in them, but if you see the same in 3D, the scene will become much more spectacular.

However, most of us do not threaten such a cool thing. After all, in order to enjoy all this, you need to purchase quite expensive glasses and a special monitor with an update frequency of 120 Hz. Are you ready to spend thousands of thousands of twenty for the sake of one game? And how to explain to parents/wife/hungry children that you decided to throw out an old good screen and buy a new?

However, we were able to enjoy the game and without glasses and all sorts of cunning modes. And the developer assured us that “Avatar” – This is not only a complete immersion and a beautiful picture. There is something else here.

Beware, Pandora, we go!

The game with a mission on airplane has begun. We behaved quite aggressively: we constantly shot and crumbled something. This is how the engine is advertised so, they say, everything is in order with physics here. But in the beginning you will not have to fly much. We land on the planet and begin to walk on our two.

The character has four types of weapons in reserve. A flamethrower that burns the grass beautifully (at the same time they told us that the march is from Farcry 2, because everything is so beautiful here and everything burns so);An ordinary machine that accurately and cheerfully chips opponents;rocket launcher for large purposes;Two pistols are, of course, in order to minimize and seduce women. Another weapon will also be, but on other maps and in the next missions. And we are also waiting for a tree of skills where many different abilities are available. Which is exactly – the question was not possible to find out. But the developer so many I said about it that it would hardly be nonsense. Otherwise, he would concentrate on something else.

According to gameplay, the mission that we watched resembled a completely ordinary third -person console action movie. We run, jump, shoot. All sorts of creatures attack us, then small dinosaurs, then just giant monsters. With each creature, the battle is unique, but in general nothing innovative. We have seen this before. As you, for example, jumping away from the rhino rushing in your direction? Somersaulted to the side, put the tummy in the ass of the rocket. Repeated everything again, won.

At the same time, however, beautiful scribes are often shown to us. On a huge screen, they look really epic, in 3D ockes, probably this is a fantastic. But without them, the videos do not look better than what we saw in the Resident Evil 5, for example.

At the same time, the game is categorically corridor. Yes, we run along Pandora, grass around, animals graze, soldiers walk, but even on the map our entire path is indicated by one narrow path. And step to the left, step to the right – impenetrable jungle. We asked the developer how the free action movie is combined, where the topic of choice is the main one, with “corridor”. And then our opponent revived sharply and said that this is only such a mission in the demo version, for it is almost the first. Then everything will be different – in one of the tasks we will simply be thrown away in the middle of Pandora and say, they say, go, my friend, wherever you want. And we will go.

At the same time, to the location that you have already passed, you can always return. For what? In order to find something new, indispensable. I really hope that these are not any hidden, such as in Batman, signs of the question. Tired of these boring and same console “riddles”. Better to attract the world, pull to itself.

By the way, maybe we will have to fight with other fighters. In the mission from the Igomir, sometimes a soldier wandered around ten to fifteen. It would be great to see epic battles, this could give the game some charm.

On both sides of Pandora

And, of course, we learned that it will be possible to play for Navi. But its developers keep secret. While we were only told that people will be very different from them. These tall blue humanoids are technologically retarded and fight spears, arrows and hands. In close combat they are kings, and if such a giant is approaching the representative of our race, then you will not be able to escape.

People are more flimsy, weak, their body is not developed, but technology is also like. A man in a battle uses firearms, which causes huge damage and hits a long distance. He also has various kinds of technology in stock (by the way, no one will work out on cars, we tried-as a result, we were stupidly concerned about some small representatives of the local aggressively either flora or fauna), starting from the motorcycles and ending with huge airplane-Teratlets. Navi answers this with his giant beasts. I hope you can ride them too. Stopping, gnawing and buttering people, sitting on a combat rhino, is an entertaining business.

The difference between the game for two races will be colossal. The main thing is that it is just interesting. So that we feel the power of the choice, so that Pandora can enjoy the beauties and without a long -lived TV, so that simple control adequately transferred to the keyboard and mouse, and to “Avatar” did not slip to a secondary and completely ordinary action movie. I want a small miracle, which were “Terminator 2” and “Titanic” for cinema. We believe in James Cameron And they have already been convinced that games in films can be damn good. Even better than the primary sources.
