The Dragon’s Dogma 2 devs have revealed that the brand new Beastren race has been on their minds since again within the Xbox 360 and PS3 days.
“Dragon’s Dogma 2 introduces the brand new Beastren race,” director Hideaki Itsuno explains in a message posted to Twitter. “Initially, we deliberate to incorporate them within the first sport, however the know-how on the time made it tough to indicate a number of characters with fur on display. Now, we will lastly understand our imaginative and prescient.”
The unique Dragon’s Dogma was first launched in 2012 on Xbox 360 and PS3, and there have been a complete lot of developments in graphical know-how since then. It definitely would not have been the primary sport to render characters with fur – I keep in mind Star Fox Adventures on GameCube having some spectacular fur tech, and I am certain there are earlier examples – however given how a lot Dragon’s Dogma struggled to carry 30 FPS on these previous consoles, possibly it is for one of the best that the devs did not go for too many additional graphical bells and whistles.
Itsuno has been sharing comparable dev insights within the days main as much as the sport’s launch, and this one is especially attention-grabbing: “We determined to design the map in a manner that the journey may very well be loved on foot. Quick journey nonetheless, exists via each Ferrystones and Portcrystals, in addition to driving an ox cart between two areas. Ferrystones are equipped in a balanced manner.”
That is notable as a result of only a few months in the past, it wasn’t clear if Dragon’s Dogma 2 would have quick journey in any respect, when Itsuno was giving quotes about how video games solely want quick journey in the event that they’re “boring.” Extra lately, Itsuno mentioned that he needed the open world to be so attention-grabbing that “it will really be a disgrace to journey a horse.” Whether or not or not quick journey is the mark of a boring sport, it appears Dragon’s Dogma 2 goes to nice lengths to ensure you’d want to benefit from the journey.
