Tymon Smektala, producent för Techlands kommande zombieöverlevare Dying Light, berättar i en intervju med Ausgamers att jämförelserna med studions tidigare Dead Island såväl som Mirror's Edge inte är helt rättvisa, då det bara beskriver spelet med mycket breda penseldrag utan att kolla på vad som faktiskt finns när man undersöker spelet noggrannare.
"I think it's a lazy thing to say. If you look at the game, it has zombies in it and it's melee-based, so it is Dead Island, then you look at it again and see that the motion has that free-running aspect to it, so it is Mirror's Edge. Of course, that description is ok, and covers the basics of Dying Light, but I don't personally really like that description because it's just a very small part of the picture that we're trying to paint here.
Mirror's Edge really was a game that opened a lot of eyes, but even though it looked like it was set in an open-world, it was a corridor game with only a few objects that you could interact with. With the current demo of Dying Light, and how the whole game plays right now -- I'm pretty happy with how it plays -- you're really not limited. You can think of any way to get around the environment and you can use that way, if it looks like it's realistic for you to go there,"
säger Smektala i intervjun.
Dying Light släpps nästa år till PC, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360 och Xbox One.
