And last (?) for this year's E3, the best random surprise of the bunch, though I'm annoyed it's only for iOS Apple-stuff and not PC yet is probably The Act.
The Act will be an old school arcade "QTE" animated game.
Think Dragon's Lair.
Though I'm more of a fan of the more hardcore/faster and logical Space Ace or the more open/non-linear Brain Dead 13.
They might not have the art or help of classic cartoonist Don Bluth on board, but they sure are close to it!
The drawings and animation is simply gorgeous!
Too gorgeous to keep it on iOS only, dammit!!
The game will be simpler (if that's possible) by the fact it will only use the left and right directions, no action button.
Though I'd have preferred if they went more adventure game-style, like the Brain Dead 13 I mentioned above. Sort of "make your own adventure" instead of just watching the cartoon happen in front of your eyes with minimal interaction.
Here's some great screenshots of this game's lovely art:
I hope it's fun enough to warrant various playthroughs, or at at least offer some replay value, the big problem of this old genre of action games...
And here's the wonderful trailer!
Lovin' it!! :D
It's developed by React Entertainment and will be out later this month.
