Jack Thompson* It is better to prepare in advance: to buy a validol, go to a psychiatric hospital, or completely sail to a uninhabited island somewhere in the Caribbean Sea. And the point here is not even in the second addition to the GTA IV, which this year should see the light, and in the third part of the most immoral game of all time and peoples. There is no need to be seven spans in the forehead to guess what we are talking about. Of course, about Postal.Raptor Wins casino
There is Paradise City, no Paradise City
Let’s first about the sad. The city of Paradise City, beloved by many fans of the series, has sunk into oblivion. Want to know the reason? There is nothing to hide here-the main character (Postal Dude, yeah) found at the end of the Apocalypse Weekend a large red button that is responsible for … Well, you all know very well what large red buttons usually answer for. Not really thinking about her purpose, the dude with a deft movement of his hand equalized with the ground Paradise City. Without thinking twice, our protagonist gathered all his belongings and emigrated to another settlement in order to start a new, better life. Alas, he couldn’t leave beyond Arizona, and he had to settle in a fictional city of Catharsis (Catharsis).
Green against the Taliban
Of course, the developers argue that the new settlement will not be more interesting, more interesting and more diverse. The analogy s GTA, And especially, with its “dark -skinned part” San Andreas, because the region of catharsis will not be limited exclusively by stone jungle. Going out of the city line, you will fall into the territory of the countryside, where farmers, cows and other no less curious life forms live. By the way, there should be no problems with moving, because the game will have the opportunity to drive transport.
However, the main action will unfold within the city. Catharsis is divided into spheres of influence of several local groups. So far only two are known: the Taliban and the so -called party of green. Moreover, the latter will be something like terrorists who use the dirtiest methods to achieve their goals. If there is a desire, you are free to send yourself to employees to any of the fractions. As in Just Cuse, depending on whose side you choose, your relationship with them will change.
One of the main skates of the new Postal – Non -linearity. Of course, it bloomed and smelled at the time of the second part (for example, a simple purchase of a package of milk was decided in two ways-paying money to the cashier, or killing a seller-inducer with a crowd of a crowd), but in the third part developers from Running with Scissors went even further and introduced several different endings. They will change depending on your style of the game, of which there are exactly three pieces: good, bad and crazy.
If there is no desire to be a share-boy, there is always the opportunity to send moral principles to hell and arrange a real hell in the city. Fortunately, arsenal Postal 3 To this in every possible way. All weapons from Postal 2 will be migrated to the third part, but there will be more than enough novelties in it. In addition to classic shovels and masters, much more exotic options with very seductive names are planned. As you, for example, “sick-nunchak”? Or, perhaps, “Evil Barsuk”? RWS I decided not to dwell on this and with the inherent studio by the applomb said that the poor animals can now be used not only as a muffler (cat, remember?), and also … alas, then the developers were typed in the mouth of water.
In the final version, about 125 different citizens are planned, as usual, personifying all the shortcomings of modern American society. RWS threatens to make the population more intelligent, and its behavior is believable. Fresh AI promises us new options for influencing characters and also their reactions to the most non -standard situations. In truth, it is not clear what else can be improved there, because AI was very, very good in the second part. NPCs reacted to your savings as expected: they ran away with screams, called to the rescue, and, um, put on public viewing the contents of their stomach. Now there is always a chance that some wise guy can stay in place and give you a worthy rebuff.
Some of the citizens, as is usually the case in Postal, will be famous celebrities for the whole world. For nuts will go decisively to everyone: actors, musicians, politicians. Thanks to the use of movements technology Motion Capture They will practically be no different from their real prototypes. It is known that it will not do without participation Ela Gora (Vice President of the United States between 1993-2001), Mr Uve “non-critici-mi-films-neo-Dam-in-Mord” Ball, Vinca Desi (boss RWS) and stars of Playboy magazine. About the appearance Jack Thompson RWS gets off with foggy hints: they say, we have a satirical game, so everything is possible. But this is all – it is likely that in Postal 3 there will be an opportunity to shoot (about horror!) representatives of game journalism. Accordingly, if you did not agree with the assessment set by any game you like, you will have a great opportunity to recoup in the insolent scribblers. Only, for God’s sake, do not overdo it!
Despite the fact that all this sounds very cool, we still have a number of questions for the authors. How a multiplayer will be implemented and, in particular, a cooperative regime? Will the new camera be convenient from the shoulder a la Resident Evil 4? And why, damn it, they replaced the distribution of tasks on the days of the week with incomprehensible instructions from some stupid company?
But one thing can be argued for sure: we will get our portion of madness. A Jack Thompson With a trip to the Caribbean, we would advise not to pull. After all, the 3rd quarter is no longer around the corner.
