Here's interesting info i found recently. Original concept of Ecco is by Ed Annunziata. So he's owner of AndNow Gaming Company. And he will release new game for PS2, and PC (YES!!!!!). V I R T I U A L O C E A N Coming this fall. Well screenshots looks... um.... not superb... But it's for now. I think stuff will be great. It cant be bad from creator of Ecco. Official site www.andnow.net/viro Here's to read. Virtual Ocean is a place …of beauty to explore and enjoy …of danger to fight or avoid …where you play as a Dolphin, Orca or a Great White …where joining a pod and teamwork keeps you alive! …where you feel like you are in one of those magical paintings by Lassen …where the ocean is alive with magic …where songs have power …where language is music to your ears The Virtual Ocean consists of several enclosed seas. (New seas will be added when the present ones get too full of players.) Whales and sharks can swim between the seas through undersea tunnels, artificial canals, and narrow channels that are opened as need be. Some features of the Virtual Ocean include: Bays and Lagoons Shallow bays and lagoons rich with fish offer safe harbor from sharks. Canyons Canyons twice as deep as those on the surface are filed with extraordinary forms of life. Caverns Secrets are hidden in caves. But you better have a map before you explore too far. Currents Swift undersea currents work like one-way expressways. Human Artifacts Human technology can be operated if the player has the right power song. Whales learned how to run farms from humans. Volcanic Fissures Steaming cracks in the sea floor can erupt and lava will pour out. Exotic and dangerous life forms that feed on volcanic gases can be found in these fissures. Real and Fantastic Life Forms The life in the Virtual Ocean will look like the creatures and plants in the seas of today as well as highly evolved life forms of the future that have been enlivened by the power of song. | ||

Just because the orginal creater of ecco is behind it doesn't mean it will be great. I am less than impressed with what I have seen so far, but since there is not much information up about the game yet I will reserve judgement on it for later. |

I have been seeing some of the games screens the past few months and I haven't been too impressed. I guess I have to wait to see how the game plays. The problem with PlayStation2 games is that they won't ever look as good a Dreamcast when it comes to textures. The DC uses 32bit color palettes which makes the environements more authentic. And as we have seen with plenty of ports from original PlayStation games to PC, Sony or the developers fail to optimize the games to fit PC standards. I remember looking at the demo of Final Fantasy XIII on the PC and the only thing that was changed was the use of anti-aliasing. Oh well. I won't get a PS2, but if It comes out for the PC like said, I will probably take it for a spin. Bring on Ecco! |
