Les premiers screenshots sur Dark Messiah of Might & Magic sont arrivés ainsi que la 1ère vidéo.
Eh bien on peut dire que ça promet
Aussi bien graphiquement que dans le gameplay, ça s’annonce très sympas!
Le gobelin du 2ème screenshot est bien repoussant, et l’extérieur (style Far Cry) que l’on peut voir sur la vidéo a l’air magnifique.
Sur la vidéo on peut voir qq subtilités du gameplay, comme la possibilité de glacer le sol pour y faire glisser un ennemi (qui tombe ensuite du haut d’une tour), la télékinésie pour s’essayer au lancer de gobelins, ou encore la faculté de se la jouer furtif et de poignarder un orc dans le dos sans qu’il ne voit venir le coup.
Du coup ce FPS m’a l’air assez prometteur et j’attend avec impatience une démo ou le jeu complet.
