[Hilo Oficial] Trine 2

goldenaxeband escribió:

Lots of new gameplay details have been revealed by Lauri Hyvärinen, CEO of Frozenbyte. Drop in/Drop out co-op, a revamped game engine new abilities and new enemies are only a few of the many improvements being brought to the sequel. Read on for more details!

While speaking to 1Up, Hyvärinen said that the Trine 2 was not just going to be a rehashed sequel with a slightly updated game engine and rehashed levels, but is a completely new experience that will work differently for both singleplayer and co-op modes:

What’s great about the levels and the puzzles is that they support a great number of “solutions”: there’s no one way of doing things, getting past obstacles and so on. You always have multiple choices, even in single-player. Co-op adds another layer of possibilities and that’s going to provide some nice replay value too.

We also wanted to make sure that every character has something fun to do at all times but the solution is actually the same: making sure that each puzzle and situation is possible to solve with any character. Of course some solutions are easier and some tougher, and the characters’ different abilities play into this as well, but overall there’s a lot more depth and even some complexity to the puzzles in Trine 2.

As for the new abilities that each of the characters will have at their disposal, some are brand new and others are original designs that were left out of the first game; such as a ‘bullet-time’ power that the Theif can use at any time, or the Hammer throw attack for the knight, in addition to a few other unrevealed ones as well.

All three characters have some new abilities, and some old abilities are present in new ways. Some of these come from feedback we’ve received, such as the Wizard’s ability to maintain kinetic energy with levitated objects, so for example, you can actually hurl a box towards an enemy. There’re a few abilities, like the Thief’s “time slow” ability, that we had to leave out from the original game, so that’s going to be introduced in Trine 2. The Knight is also getting his share of much-needed attention, and his new ability to throw the hammer will surely add a nice touch to battling enemies and solving puzzles.

And what about the technology powering the game itself? Frozenbyte has rewritten nearly everything from the ground up to allow for more advanced lighting and shadowing, all-new animations and completely new-art assets instead of recycled materials from the previous game. This is something to be excited for, as the original, even by today’s standards long after its release, is quite a beautiful looking game. The locales were also unique with their art style, which is quite an achievement for a fantasy game these days. Trine 2 is going to build on that, with the game’s artists being given complete freedom to go crazy with the wildest ideas and designs possible:

The locations themselves are completely new — it’s a new adventure that’s treading some unfamiliar ground. There has to be a castle of course, but it’s made of ice. At one point the heroes must travel to the cloud city built on hovering islands in the sky. There’s a house carved inside a huge tree (I mean huge). And then there’s the Mushroom cave, which is my favorite level right now. The cave is entirely filled with bouncy mushrooms and they come in all sizes and colors you can imagine!

Looks like those guys at Frozenbyte really like mushrooms.

Para el primero sacaron un parche en PC y en PS3 nanai, a ver si por lo menos a este se lo ponen.

In an interview with Siliconera, Frozenbyte CEO and Trine series designer, Lauri Hyvärinen, gave us some insight to some of the improvements being made to Trine 2, with the main focus being a greater sense of freedom with regard to both the characters and puzzles.

“We haven’t removed anything from [the thief] Zoya (in fact the opposite) but we have added a great deal of new abilities to both Pontius and Amadeus,” Hyvärinen told us, with regard to the thief, wizard and knight characters.

For example, Zoya now has the ability to slow down time around her. While this skill’s effects only extend to Zoya in singleplayer, in co-op multiplayer — which is what all of Trine 2′s improvements ultimately tie into — they affect other players as well, making the entire team faster, relative to the world around them.

To accompany these new skills, Trine 2 also has a new, more flexible character-building system, doing away with the restricted skill system from the original game. “While all of the great abilities can still be found in the new system, there’s a bunch of new, cool abilities, and the skill progression system gives the player a lot more freedom and choices,” Hyvärinen explained.

As a result, Frozenbyte hope that players give Pontius, the wizard, a little more attention this time around. However, Hyvärinen warned, “It’s [now] possible to skill up the characters unevenly.”

The overhauled skill system isn’t all that’s new to Trine 2, however. Puzzles are designed with a vaster range of possible solutions in mind, and the game’s physics system has seen improvements as well. Look forward to these, as well as talk of a PC level editor, in our full Trine 2 interview, which will go up later this week.

Trine 2 is slated for digital download publishing by Atlus sometime in 2011 on PC, Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network.

No me gusta nada eso de que no salgan en soporte físico, pero me estoy planteando mis ideales solo por este juego y mas aun, sabiendo que el 1 esta por 5 € ...

Un saludo!

Trine 2, originally set for Q2 2011, has been delayed to late Summer, Atlus has announced. The game, the sequel to the 2009 downloadable hit, is scheduled to launch across PlayStation Network, Xbox LIVE Arcade, and PC.

Atlus has released a new trailer, dubbed “Alluring Adventure”, boasting the game’s physics-based gameplay, which puts players in the shoes of a powerful knight, a swift rogue, and crafty wizard. Check it out below.

News on Trine 2 has slowed to a crawl once more, so we did a little searching on Frozenbyte’s community forums, where they often talk to their fans and answer questions about the game. Looking through the various forum threads was rather informative, so here’s a rundown of what we found.



Trine 2 will feature a new save system that lets you quit the game at any point in time, and your progress — including items, puzzles and enemies defeated –will be saved to your exact position. In case you lose all three characters and die, you’ll go back to the last save point, but retain your level progress.



You’ll be able to backtrack freely to previous levels in order to collect items you missed or try out new abilities in older areas. There’s also going to be a Free Game+ mode, though we aren’t quite sure just what this is.



As far as length is concerned, Frozenbyte say that Trine 2 will be an hour or two longer than the original. They estimate the game will be around 8 – 10 hours of play time. Trine 2 will also be replayable, since single player and co-op modes will offer slightly different experiences. There are also multiple cooperative modes in the game, although this hasn’t been detailed.



Since multiplayer is both offline as well as online this time, Frozenbyte are adding voice chat for communication to all versions of the game.



Trine 2 Will Allow For Backtracking And Have Multiple Co Op Modes

Frozenbyte also talked a little about the game’s characters. In case you’re wondering, no, the Wizard still won’t be able to use the Fireball spell or any other offensive spells to “directly” deal damage. The main enemy in the game this time will be goblins instead of skeletons. The skeletons from Trine have been removed entirely frm Trine 2.



Finally, here’s a fun little fact about the Trine 2 trailers you’ve seen so far. The trailers from last year featured Trine 2 assets using Trine 1 engine. The newer trailer, released this year, however, uses the Trine 2 engine. The difference between the two engines is primarily polish-related, with the newer engine allowing for new physics and more visual effects.

Speaking during an interview with PlayStation Universe, Lauri Hyvärinen, Frozenbyte CEO and design director of the Trine series, revealed some of the new skills set to appear in the upcoming Trine 2.

Quizzed on what players could expect from the hotly-anticipated sequel, Hyvärinen commented, "We've aimed for a better balance for the characters," adding, "for example, the Knight has received an ability to throw his hammer, and use his shield as a stepping platform for other players."

Hyvärinen also revealed new abilities for the other two heroes in Trine 2. The Thief will sport a new Freezing arrow, while the Mage will receive a new, "small offensive ability" capable of levitating enemies. "The new skills, especially when used in combination with each other, provide countless ways to solve puzzles and smash enemies," explained Hyvärinen.

Trine 2 is a physics-based co-operative platformer, developed by Frozenbyte and published by Atlus. The game is currently set for a late summer release on PlayStation Network.

We'll have the full interview with Hyvärinen up tomorrow, so stay tuned.
