Platforms: Xbox 360 Uitgever: 10tacle Studios Developer: Elsewhere Entertainment Genre: Platformer Release datum: Xbox 360 4e kwartaal 2008 Vandaag heeft 10TACTLE studio's hun nieuwe game TOTEMS aangekondigd. Het spel is gebaseerd op de sport 'Le Parkour' en is een platform game met tactische elementen die de speler in staat stellen de wereld en verhaal magisch te veranderen naar hun stijl en kwaliteiten. Deze third-person action adventure biedt niet-lineaire gameplay in een enorm interactieve omgeving en is gemaakt om toegankelijk te zijn voor een breed publiek, terwijl er voor hardcore gamers genoeg diepte geboden wordt. 10tacle wants playing Totems to be a fluid experience, so players don't need to worry about missing ledges or falling too far. If Gia doesn't happen to grab that wire you were going for, she'll land on her feet into a roll. The game already has an emotional, orchestral soundtrack that makes use of operatic choirs. The enemies Gia encounters also possess similar acrobatic abilities, which means there will be no escape -- they can follow you wherever you go. The game's camera is used to make combat more dramatic. One example we saw was when two Tiger Warriors got hold of Gia, picked her up like a rag doll and threw her into a wall. The camera zoomed in close and dove under the action, looking up, then shot into the sky when Gia was thrown. The whole event was like a violent ballet -- exactly what 10tacle is going for. When she is fighting, Gia uses her hands like claws to slash at opponents. The animal spirits will consist of Tiger, Monkey (who is a trickster), Dragon, Dove, Raven, Parrot, Cheetah, Wolf, Crocodile, Snake, Turtle, Bull, Eagle, and Bear (who stands for strength and power). Each spirit has its own district on the island and is represented by a statue. The giant bear statue loomed over our demonstration, even though we could tell it was far away. 10tacle is creating a new mythology for Totems. You can start reading up on it at the game's teaser Website.
