darksnowman Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 A New Beginning is a cinematic, interactive eco-thriller. In the classic adventure game an impending global climate cataclysm threatens the world, in a story ripped from today’s headlines, dealing with the defining issue of our time. At locations all around the globe, players will have to try and stem the tide– with the whole world hanging in the balance. In A New Beginning, players take control of two protagonists and explore the detailed, hand-painted backgrounds. The more than 30 characters are rendered in a realistic 2D style and are painstakingly animated by hand in feature film quality. Many challenging puzzles and adventurous situations have to be overcome to prevent the impending climate chaos. The ambitious adventure game project is in development for PC, Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii. More point and clickage coming the way of the Wii and DS.

Fandango Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Ditto - I would love to see Point and Click adventures make a comeback. This one looks nicely foreboding and atmospheric. Yeah, I would give my left arm for Lucas-Arts to stop making Star War games and go back to what they're good at, Point and Click Adventures : peace: ! The game looks promising though, I love 2-D.

LazyBoy Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Since they're a German company N-E might want to have a go at getting an interview with these guys. They're relatively new to the scene and i'm sure they wanting to get some publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Ye olde press release: Hamburg/Germany: February 21, 2008. The year 2050: The cities of the world lie in ruins. Catastrophic climate change, long prophesized, has devastated the world with fatal consequences. In a flooded San Francisco, time pilot Fay overlooks the magnitude of the destruction. Sent from a distant future to avert the evisceration of mankind, she is faced with the horrible realization that it is already too late. The last hope for salvation is another desperate leap back in time to our present! In the eco-thriller A New Beginning from Daedalic Entertainment, Fay teams up with scientist Bent Svensson to try and stem the tide. Players will experience an absorbing adventure about the most important issue of our times. At locations around the globe, it is up to them to change the course of history – with the whole world hanging in the balance. Backgrounds like the devastated skyline of San Francisco are constructed from more than 20 2D layers to ensure a realistic sense of depth and high level of detail. More than 130 locations make A New Beginning one of the largest adventure games in recent years. The more than 30 characters are rendered in a realistic 2D style and are painstakingly animated by hand in feature film quality. The classic point & click adventure game from Daedalic Entertainment is set for release on PC, Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarf Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I think Fifa would be more fun multiplayer than this, seeing as this doesnt look like a raving party game. I think I'll get Fifa instead, mostly because anime sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
