- Post a comment Betabites has written a new preview of Wizardry 8, SirTech's upcoming 3D role playing game which should be hitting retail around the same time that these guys sign with a publisher.
"In Wizardry 8, you play from a first-person perspective with a 360 degree view, so on the top of the interface, you can choose three different screen options when playing: 1. all characters showing, 2. game view and bottom text area with a formation and map locator on either side, and 3. last, you can settle on just a game view with the character options swinging out when clicked on. By selecting any of the 'dots' in the map circle, you can bring up the map screen which is pretty neat. In the map screen, you can zoom in and out, and you can even make a notation at a certain point. The Wizardry 8 journal really wasn't much of a factor in the press demo. I can see where it would come in handy though as you move into quests." [preview] |
