Vi vet inte mycket om Visceral Games och EA Motives kommande Star Wars-spel. Men eftersom att före detta Naughty Dog-anställde tillika skaparen av Uncharted arbetar på det har det ryktats om att spelet kommer påminna om just Uncharted. Och nu har Amy Hennig bekräftat att så är fallet, åtminstone i någon utsträckning.
Under en av helgens Star Wars Celebration-paneler tog Amy rampljuset för att dela med sig av några ledtrådar om projektet.
Anledningen till att de samarbetar så intimt med Lucasfilm är att de skriver en "originell Star Wars-berättelse med nya karaktärer, platser, teknologier och varelser".
De vill att allt ska vara så autentiskt som det bara kan bli. När hon fick frågan på hur de ska åstadkomma detta svarade hon:
"The process that I've been using is really similar to what I did with Uncharted, to be honest [the crowd cheered]. Thank you. Oh good, They'll like this game then. Which was, if you're trying to re-create that classic - in that case - pulp action adventure experience, you need to deconstruct the films so you know how to reconstruct them in an interactive context as gameplay."
"The end goal of a game like that is that by the time the player has finished playing the game they feel like they really did play a Star Wars film. So I've done the same thing for Star Wars. What does that mean? It's getting the structure right. It means you have to understand where the act breaks fall, where all the obstacles and reversals fall, and the set-pieces. What are all the component parts that make up a Star Wars story."
"What I was really eager to discover is what distinguished Star Wars films from the others I'd been studying in the action-adventure genre. The first thing that jumped out was these are always ensemble stories, and that's actually kind of unusual."
"People would say there's other characters in something like Indiana Jones, but they're side characters. In Star Wars they're co-protagonists, so if you think about the original trilogy, or even the films that are now, it's as much Leia's, Han's, and Vader's story as it is Luke's."
Vad detta betyder i praktiken vet vi inte men det är kanske inte en omöjlighet att vi kommer spela som fler än en protagonist.
