Interstellar Marines
From: Zero Point Software
Who did: It's their first game
And live in: Frederiksberg, Denmark
It's got a name that's somewhere between a Paul Verhoeven movie and a Pink Floyd album, but this slice of Danish sci-fi shooter bacon is looking very tasty, if the latest trailer is anything to go by. While unlikely to win any awards for originality - your mom could have dreamed up the it's-the-near-future-and-mankind-are-livingin-space-oh-shit-there-are-some-monsters premise - the game formerly known as Project IM is causing a minor stir with its alluring visuals, squad-based soldiering and an enemy that's a fast-moving shark... with legs! Brilliance itself.
Expect the action to take place in space stations overrun by deranged robots and genetically screwed creatures and a shady mega-corporation behind all the fuss.
Impressions
An above average paint-by-numbers space shooter, we're guessing.
Assassin's Creed Shadows was originally envisioned without Yasuke, but Ubisoft wanted the full feudal fantasy: "We were sort of making a stealth tank, and it didn't quite work"
Assassin's Creed Shadows lead says dual protagonists are "a cool thing" the new action RPG "does better than what we've done in the past"
