Condemned 2 with more next-gen juice, still no-go for PC |
Ó
"Our engine is further optimized with a new shader system, new environmental effects and a new UI system. Our bloom support is now replaced by a new HDR functionality and we have made significant optimizations in CPU and memory use," Rooke said.
But all the new eye candy isn't going to hit the graphics powerhouses of Banzai Runners in the PC community. Rooke said that they have no plans for a PC version of the game at this time, although Condemned: Criminal Origins graced the platform about two years ago. Monolith is also known for Blood, a PC-only classic of... well, bloody proportions, making this call a change of moves for the developers.
But on the offset that opportunities might open up in the future, all fans of the game might want to know that a plethora of new gameplay mechanics have been added, including a new combo hit system. Successive hits mean additional and accumulated damage in the long run, while pushing up the chain meter faster.
Pipes no longer are glued to arms, since Rooke claimed that the pipe can now be hurled arm-to-noggin in graceful - but deadly - fashion. Add to that some new firearms, new weapons and more creative environment kills, and the Condemned player in you can be satisfied for months on end.
Aside from giving an in-depth focus on Ethan Thomas and a twisting story on violence, Condemned 2 will also sport multiplayer gameplay which Rooke vividly describes as something different from the single-player scare:
Imagine you are the only player left on the team and you have successfully tracked down the evidence hidden by the enemy. You're just about to finish the evidence scan and win the match when a bum charges in from behind a dumpster and bashes you in the head with a pipe. Win or lose, you can't reload and try that scenario again.
