Well Rounded has written a new preview of Wizardry 8, based on the author's impressions of a limited press demo of the game.
The game's graphics have been updated, resulting in a beautiful 3-D fantasy world. Wizardry's still played in the first-person, but Sir-Tech has gone to great lengths to bring in a higher degree of tactical combat. The movement is very smooth, although a little slower than a FPS. 3-D models are fairly simple, which is a case of the designers going for immediately recognizable shapes over style. Monsters and architecture, though, are much more detailed, with a good range of movement animations for your foes and some strange and beautiful environments. The spell effects look just great, especially when your party is on the receiving end of the magic. [more] |
