4. A Game Environment Stuck in Limbo
With the aid of an impressive graphical engine running Dante's next adventure we will also be seeing a split the game world. Taking place between Earth itself and Limbo, Ninja Theory has set themselves up for the ability to provide some potentially awesome experiences within the levels themselves. If you have had the chance to play through the console demo, then you will already have had a chance to experience exactly what I'm talking about. Dante sprints through city streets as he is pulled into Limbo, and players are able to see the world shift and distort around them. One of the most visually engaging experiences happens towards the end of the demo with a replication of the never-ending hall mirage that is executed extremely well. Environment's often have text displayed across various surfaces which is very reminiscent of Spinter Cell: Conviction. This effect works to great effect in the interactive space of video games, and it certainly compliments the visual style Ninja Theory has chosen. With the team's well executed use of the environment fans may very well be in for some truly engaging platforming experiences throughout the course of the story.
