XIII Shows Off Cel-Shading FPS Skills

Posted by simoniker on from the shadowy-french-agents dept.

Thanks to GameSpy for posting a developer diary for XIII, the multi-platform, cel-shaded FPS from UbiSoft that's now due to ship on the 9th October. The executive producer on this Unreal-engine title talks about some of the stylistic innovations, such as "pop-up windows to show major actions or headshots", and "onomatopoeias... to help [the player] like a form of sixth sense", Batman TV show-style. GameSpot also has some recent, guarded impressions of the title, which is "based on an immensely popular [French] graphic novel series", and features an intriguing soundtrack from San Francisco turntablists Future Primitive Sound.

      Now that you mention it, you forgot to capitalize the first letter of your first fragmentary sentence. Your attitude could use some work as well.

      Attitude is fine but it may have came across as snide... but it was more of a joke considering how much else I screwed up on the orginal post.

      Anyways back to the topic.
