Frontier Developments' Founder David Braben has revealed details on his current project The Outsider (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) and confirmed that they are working on Elite IV for next gen consoles in the recent Nottingham's Game City event.In the conference, Braben described the video game as an "action thriller, directed by the player." Further lending to this feeling is the premise of the game which places players in the shoes of an ex-CIA agent called Jameson who was framed for the murder of the U.S. President.
While The Outsider has a lot of action sequences, a major part of the video game has Jameson interacting and dealing with various factions such as the Chinese secret service and the corrupt CIA agents who framed him. Fans of non-linear gameplay will be thrilled to know that Braben said that they have modeled the entire Washington DC in the game and that it is possible for players to interact with thousands of NPCs in the game.
Braben also revealed that The Outsider features a robust physics engine and animation system complete with motion capture. In one of the videos featured during the event, they showed of Jamison knocking out one of the bad guys causing him to painfully bounce off one of the nearby tables before hitting the ground.
Gamers who can't wait to pick up a copy of Founder Developments' The Outsider will be happy to know that it should be available for PS3 and Xbox 360 some time this year barring any delays.
