One The Solus Project erscheint für die Xbox One

Vor allem hat GameSpot das ganze auf der E3 anspielen können. Scheinbar ist das im PK-Feuerwerk untergegangen, oder man wollte keine Beachtung. Ich mag für gewöhnlich diese Art von Spielen nicht, da ich mir dieses als entweder zu langweilig oder zu frustrierend vorstelle. Aber als ich den Text geschrieben hatte und mit die Webseite des Spiels angesehen habe, fand ich den Titel mit jeder Zeile interessanter.
Was eigentlich noch wichtig ist, was ich aber nicht so richtig unterbringen konnte, ist die Tatsache, das das Spiel einen Anfang und ein Ende hat. Man kann das Spiel also erfolgreich abschließen.

Ich bin ja mal gespannt, wie sich das Wegfindungs- und Speichersystem integriert. GameSpot sprach in der E3-Demo von Wegpunkten, die allerdings nur in der Demo sind, und im fertigen Spiel so in der Form nicht sein werden.

Hier nochmal das HandsOn von GameSpot im O-Ton:

Spoiler: GameSpot

I played an early build of The Solus Project at E3 2015, where I explored mysterious and dank caves, was caught in a meteor shower, and found myself at one point face-to-face with a tornado. The game puts great emphasis on survival, with the protagonist's hunger level, thirst, body temperature, and surrounding humidity and wind just some of the factors that are monitored in-game. This is displayed on the main character's PDA device, which is held at all times and can be viewed in its entirety by looking down.

Exploration is paramount to survival in The Solus Project, and I the first thing I did was set to stalking around my ship's crash site to scavenge supplies. My first instinct was to pick up every single object I laid eyes on, but I soon found myself with a full inventory and unable to gather any more. I needed to prioritize what to take with me. While I walked around contemplating this, a meteor shower started up and rained hazardous flaming rocks down around me. The environment is the most dangerous enemy in The Solus Project, which will feature a dynamic weather system and day/night cycle. Even the status of the moon will control the flow of the ocean tide, and plants will grow and rot away.

The Solus Project will feature a crafting system that allows players to apply items together to create new ones. For example, I gathered two rocks and dropped one on the floor. I then equipped the second rock and used it to apply to the first, which was on the floor, to create a sharpened rock. Using my newly acquired sharpened rock, I cut away some vines growing on a nearby cave wall. These vines I applied to a pipe I had picked up earlier and fashioned into a makeshift torch. I am interested to see how deep the crafting system will run in the full game, with so many materials potentially available in the environment.

But the planet I was stranded on had clearly been inhabited by civilization at one point. Elaborate tombs hidden in caves were waiting to be unlocked and explored. The entrance was locked, but conveniently within walking distance of the key which I needed to use to open it. Which was just as well, because a flash storm suddenly spawned and threw a whirling tornado perilously close by. The demo concluded as I entered the hidden tomb, curious and ready to learn more about the mysterious civilization which once inhabited the planet.

While the demo made use of waypoints to provide guidance, I was informed that the final version of the game will place more emphasis on allowing players to explore and figure out solutions to problems independently.

 

Ich befürchte es auch so, obwohl es eigentlich ganz gut klingt und auch für ein Indie-Projekt ziemlich gut aussieht. So ganz ohne Gegner? Ich weiß nicht. Aber vielleicht lauert da noch irgendwas unter der Oberfläche. Ich bin bei diesem Spiel richtig gespannt auf mehr Gameplayszenen. Und natürlich auf den Preis. ICh gehe mal davon aus, das es im ID@Xbox Programm erscheint und es keine Retailfassung geben wird.
