Once a year Nacon Connect This year, the event ranged from Lovecraftian's horror to Robocop: Rogue City extension, but digging into hell, we showed off some interesting ideas from developer Rogue Factor. Hell is a semi-open world, an action RPG where players can travel through the besieged areas of supernatural creatures. The biggest attraction here is the emphasis on satisfying combat and exploration, and the purpose of the Rogue factor is to make the art of discovering new areas feel meaningful by depriving the game of maps, compass and Quest-Markers.
“Fighting only accounts for 50% of experience. The other half of the game is all about exploring, discovering, the joy associated with them and how they play a core role in your journey.” “Unlike traditional games, hell is a path we don’t rely on pursuing signs or guided. There is no magic compass pointing in your direction right, and there is no Quest Journal, the Quest Journal of Reer of the Is of what you need to do and the Order of the Order of the Order of there’s. Our player playback method encourages you to follow your intuition, follow your own clues, and draw your own lessons through adventure.”
This approach means that players need to observe, collect clues, and then find their own way in the game world. Jacques-Belletête adds that the process is designed to feel intuitive and, besides some of the biggest hidden mysteries in the game, finding new locations should feel organic if you follow your instincts and the information you collect.
This is very different from the specifications set by most modern open world games, as these titles usually have many systems so players won't get lost in their respective worlds. In the past, Sony games like Horizon banned the West and the God of War Ragnarok had been criticized for holding the player's hand a little tight, although the post-issuing update allows obvious prompts for a large amount of dialing.
Hell is the US will launch on September 4 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|.
