ORIGINAL POSTSo, today, I was watching some game trailers, and I came across a debut
trailer for a new game by Midway Newcastle called Necessary Force.
you can watch the trailer
Here.
Now, Midway hasn't been doing so good since they filed for bankruptcy, not to mention their less than stellar sales of
MK vs. DC, but I'm really hoping they can turn things around with this game, because it looks pretty good so far.
The
first thing I have to say is, I'm really liking the art style. The
backgrounds look gorgeous, and I like that it's going for a graphic
novel kind of feel to it. I'm not so sure about the character designs
yet, but we didn't actually see much of them in the trailer. From what
I did see, though, they don't seem to be as detailed as the
backgrounds, so it might clash a bit, graphically. Also, the fact that
half of the trailer was only concept art has me a bit worried, of
course, the rendered stuff looked good, for the most part.
As
far as the story, it seems pretty standard, but still compelling. A
detective on the edge of moral and immoral, we've seen it a bunch in
movies, but I can't think of many games that have went there.
True Crime: Streets of LA
did, and it failed miserably... let's hope this isn't a repeat of that,
and Midway actually does a half-decent job with their
"hard-boiled-cop-on-the-edge" story.
