Gamespydaily a interviewé la devteam de FATE. Ce jeu est un FPS gratuit actuellement en développement qui a pour objectif de booster l’image de marque de Torc Interactive. Une démo technologique jouable est disponible sur le site officiel (seulement 7Mo!). Je n’ai pas pu vraiment la tester mais le moteur 3D, l’aspect visuel du jeu, le look des personnages et des armes et même le logo rappellent fortement Quake3.
L’article de Gamespy est assez interessant. Les développeurs expliquent ce qu’ils attendent de ce jeu et donnent des infos sur le gameplay:
GameSpy: How many levels?
Damien: We have 4 levels planned for the single player mode and for multiplayer we’re hoping to get out another 3 at least. Adding more multiplayer levels are just a matter of finding the time. The single player levels follow a strict design that guides the story. The 4 levels include the classic beginning, middle and end story telling elements. What we’re currently debating is breaking each of the 4 levels into a further 3 or 4 levels, giving a total of 12 to 14 levels for the game – to tell a story within 4 levels is difficult, so each of the 4 levels has quite a lot going on, so to do this wouldn’t dilute the game play any and also wouldn’t require significant changes to the design. Again, this a time per person ratio that might not match our current content team and our spare time status.
GameSpy: What types of multiplayer modes have you planned?
Mark: Team DM and CTF (we’ll come up with something a little bit different for this) will be the main ones but I’m such a Rocket Arena and Clan Arena fan I can’t see us not releasing something along those lines also.
FATE devrait sortir en septembre 2002.
