Forums - Gaming - FIRST X-MEN DESTINY DETAILS EMERGE

zarx on 02 January 2011

X-Men Destiny is a title that has an intriguing concept, but quite a few gamers are questioning the quality of the title since Silicon Knights are behind the development.  If Silicon Knights sounds familiar as a studio, you're more than likely recognizing it from the extremely lukewarm reception that Too Human received.
 
 
One title shouldn't define a studio, and Silicon Knights are out to prove that they can still deliver a powerful title to the market.  In the February issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, there's a rather large article revealing an absolute ton on the title.  Below, we've listed out a few key points from the article.
  • The tone of the game is said to be "dark, mature, & intense" striving towards an adult feel, but a Mature rating is said to not be likely.
  • San Francisco is divided into human & non-human sectors as Professor X is dead.
  • The game starts with a peace rally being staged to pay tribute to Professor X, which is when you are prompted to pick one of three characters in the crowd.
  • OXM's Activision guide chose Adrian Luca as their character.
  • The game presents the player with frozen in time "decision moments", indicating its time for players to make a big choice.  The first big choice in the game allows you to pick your power archetype ranging from being able to manipulate matter and your body mass, energy projection, or a third one that was kept a secret.
  • The game allows you to decide who is friend or foe in the X-Men universe.
  • Cyclops, Quicksilver, Surge, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, & Gambit are confirmed to make an appearance in the title, with plenty more to be announced.
  • X-Genes play a rather large role in the game, ranging from boss fights to deciding to give it to an X-Men, or someone else to form another alliance.
  • Linking together a good amount of attacks will fill up your "Mutant power" meter, allowing you to pull off even stronger special attacks.
  • One of the special attacks described as a part of the "Mutant power" meter was "Force Pillars".  The attack was said to produce crowd clearing beams that rise from the ground.
If you happen to see the February issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, be sure to pick it up.  There's a ton of more information included in the article about X-Men Destiny, along with the very first Dead Space 2 review to be published.

 

so are you interested in the game?

Hmmm...I seriously don't know what to think of the game based on these.

I'm unlike the majority of the gaming world. I'm sick of these comic book games. Use get some fresh ideas for games. >_<



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

Skyrim 100%'d. Dark Souls 100%'d.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

X-Men games used to be really fun when I was a kid....they took the really fun element out of the games when the X-Men Legends games came out....


Joke post? I don't know how anyone can look at Legends and say that they took the "fun element out" in comparison to trash like Arcade's Revenge.

Silicon Knights being the developer has me worried
