Utvikleren Shiny Entertainment har sendt oss de aller første skjermisene fra deres kommende action/eventyrspill The Golden Compass som lanseres så og si til alle tenkelige formater.
Forestill deg i en magisk verden i det gyldne kompasset - The Golden Compass - filmen. Det er filmstudioet bak den überpopulære trilogien om Ringenes Herre som står bak THe Golden Compass og filmen har premiere rundt juletider.
Spillet tar deg med til en verden hvor hekser flyr gjennom en kald verden, giganstiske armordekte bjørner som forsvarer deres kongedømme og hindre at barna blir kidnappet av Gobblers. I følge utvikleren skal spillet være tro mot filmen og vi kan ikke si annet enn at vi gleder oss til å se hvordan dette kan bli med Ringenes Herre-trilogien i baktankene.
Her er noen keynotes fra utvikleren selv:
* Play as the heroes from the film. Embark on a journey into the frozen north as rebellious and headstrong heroine Lyra, who uses her cunning to evade enemies. Or charge forward as her powerful friend and protector, Iorek - a giant armored polar bear able to overcome any obstacle with his brute strength.
* Explore a parallel universe. Immerse yourself in the world of The Golden Compass movie and discover the majestic grandeur of Jordan College, the hustle and bustle of port town Trollesund, or the dark and foreboding research station at Bolvangar. Go beyond the movie with two areas from the His Dark Materials universe exclusive to the game.
* Discover a powerful bond greater than friendship. Experience the collaborative bond between Lyra and her unique animal-companion, Pan, who has the ability to morph into a variety of different creatures to help Lyra solve puzzles and navigate obstacles throughout her perilous journey.
* The Golden Compass will lead the way. Use the truth-telling Golden Compass to solve in-game puzzles and unlock bonus content, allowing you to explore the worlds as seen in the movie.
* Use quick wit to discover and evade. Participate in a variety of themed mini-games to help Lyra gain further information about her journey and avoid confrontation with those that mean her harm.
