Is Minecraft needs plot? Of course not. Putting cubes is interesting because it offers players the opportunity to tell their own stories and build their own structures. But also, and LEGO does not need the story, which did not prevent Warner Bros. in the production of a great film. A similar success now wants to refer the studio Telltale Games, specializing just in snuciu stories based on licenses from other companies.
At first glance Minecraft Story Mode can be a simple “jump” on the wallets of players, but developers provide, that it is not. The next episodes title is something much more important, what Telltale wanted to do for years: the return game for the whole family. Before gained great popularity of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, produced projects on the basis of the Wallace & amp; Gromit or bone, suitable for all audiences.
– This is the first time since Sam & amp; Max and Strong Bad, when we can do something for people of all ages – admits Job Stauffer from Telltale. – It is not a novelty for us, but rather a return to the past. Entertainment for all ages is an important part of our DNA and our roots. It is nice to work on something in which you can play along with the whole family.
This does not mean, however, that Minecraft: Story Mode is only suitable for children. The creators have long been big fans of Minecraft and the idea of moving the game to the realities of episodes of the series was high on the list wymarzonych projects, together with Borderlands.
– Minecraft is one of their favorite titles in office, and the creation of its adaptation offers much greater freedom than Borderlands – adds Stauffer. – It is clear that there is a big appetite for stories dawn Minecraft: books in bookstores, a popular video or music videos on YouTube. Minecraft is much more than a game., Is a cultural phenomenon.
Minecraft: Story Mode is based on the culture, putting on the story of a group of fans who go to a party called ElderCon, which is a parody of the real MineConu (and other events of this type). We can choose the gender of the main character, and modify the look.
– In The Walking Dead, it is important that we play as Clementine, because it better reflects this series. We can observe how the girl is treated in this merciless universe – explains Stauffers. – Created by us stories vary depending on the base material. In Minecraftcie sex does not matter much, and the ability to change the look is very important.
During the show at the party PAX Prime was shown two scenes: the main character is looking for in a forest lost guinea pig named Rueben, and later the city is attacked by a great beast. The whole thing is attractive even for people who are not big fans of Minecraft.
The gameplay resembles other productions Telltale, so we can expect to make important decisions – for example about who to save. It is clear also that the studio draws conclusions from his previous games. The sequences of action are more fluid and varied. Although we still have no direct control over the character, a clash with a group creeperów allows you to navigate forward and backward choose targets and waving a sword at any time. Elsewhere in the chase sequence we must move in order to avoid falling debris. This is not a revolution, but certainly the development of aging Telltale engine.
Also graphic design will not win any awards, but – unlike Game of Thrones – remains faithful to the source material. There’s even a little bit better, because Telltale can prepare a film shot cameras and doing it very skillfully, even if you only watch cubes. Run by burning forest memorable, and the characters express a lot of emotion, but their faces are composed of only a few moving pixels. Here you also helps a great acting.
As you would expect from Telltale, the script is written very well. Our guinea remember that after finding her in the forest decided to embrace, or to reprimand and a tutorial on how to create sword uses the base interface Minecraft, which helps lend credibility to the universe.
Studio yet great coping with encouraging players to enter the worlds that might be completely foreign to them. Even if we are not big fans of The Walking Dead, Fables or Borderlands, it Telltale adventure in some way offer an attractive entertainment. It seems that Minecraft: Story Mode continues this tradition – did not even know that we want to play in the title.
