The company Supergiant Games is teaming up with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to publish Bastion, a very beautiful game, which will also be available as a PC download later this year. The game will come out this year, although they did not specify a price.
Bastion is an action RPG that takes place in a cartoon world with an isometric perspective, taking influences from games like Diablo 2. An omnipresent narrator will describe everything you do, adding flavourful as you hack and slash around the map.
Supergiant seem to be a very talented group of developers, and they are composed of a tiny team of six developers, some formerly from Electronic Arts.
The graphics look really beautiful. Here are some pics:
:shock:
This last pic makes me realize how powerful and wonderful current consoles are with their 32 bit colour palette.
One of my favourite games of the SNES was The Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse. It really made a deep impression on me with its colourful graphics back in the day. It was in my top 5 of the SNES because it was fun and had vibrant colours -for a SNES anyway-. But those consoles were very limited despite the right use of tonalities and on the SNES I hadn't since seen a similar game with such a rich palette.
Much to my delight, there are still games where the designers are going for the romantic colourful look. So, yeah, thanks. I will buy it day one, I think.
