O hai forum, some news today?

[Sannom]

And still for the devs, about Chain Shot : were you inspired by the John Cooper character from the game Desperados for that ability?

 

Matthew, do you know if the demo of AP at PAX East will have an NDA? Is it even a playable demo?

Chris Parker interview

[Pop]

Interesting. So DLC and a sequel is dependent on how well the game does, eh?

 

I'm buying like three copies, so I'm covered.

[Oner]

Interview is interesting.

 

Also, that no-magazine-gun is featured so often it should be a meme by now.

Nice dev diary, have to say it's looking very good.

As far as the timer, I'm not sure what you're referring to - you only have a few seconds to line up the shots in Chain Shot, certainly not 30.

 

I can't speak as to the inspiration behind Chain Shot, I just know it was one of the skills that was implemented the earliest in development. I think it was more inspired by a Bourne-like mastery of situational awareness.

From what I've seen, it's pretty awesome, but I think it would be even better if you could hear each individual shot (in rapid succession) instead of a single bang.

What of the horloge ticking at the top right of the screen when you use it?

[Matthew Rorie]

I believe that's the cooldown for actually using the weapon skill, i.e. you have to wait 30 seconds before you can use it again. That amount of time might've been adjusted since that video was captured, though.

Sounds pretty long. Hopefully there's a way to reduce that cooldown.

Well, Chain Shot is really intended to be your way out of a dicey situation, not something you use on everything you see. Making the cooldown too low would probably trivialize a lot of the content you come across, because you'd be able to headshot everyone you came across without them ever being able to fire back. So it needs to have some kind of cooldown to encourage players to use it when needed, but not on every single enemy.

Actually, I thought 30 seconds sounded too short.

Ya I agree, also it would be better to have a tiny more delay between instead of just 3 instance shot from a pistol... Like a 0.3 sec delay between each shot would be great, its more realistic, and a lot cooler and understandable. Right now its like a shotgun shot.

This. I know Chain Shot has been in the game for a long time, but instantly firing all shots just looks weird and a lot less badass.

It's pretty fun.

Funroc must be still sleeping...

No new information I can see to be honest, but it was still interesting to read his thoughts about morality in games.

[mr insomniac]

Great interview, but I can't believe they asked him about Fall-From-Grace's diary. Wow.

[Pop]

Not that new, but Sega's confirmed that delay time has been devoted mainly to gameplay tweaks.

Read it just now on GameBanshee.. not sure exactly why they've not used that time to ALSO work on the graphics, guess there were budget problems, not that I personally care much, but subpar graphics MAY hurt the game's sales.

Can't wait to try hands-on how the "polished and tweaked" gameplay feels anyway!

Gametrailers, one of the Internet's leading supplier of retarded comments.

[Raithe]

Some amazingly unaware comments on gametrailers.... It's always bizarre. Makes you wonder if there's some seperate universe holding the people who make them..

Dear Matt, what does inventory got to do with RPGs?
