SiN Episodes News
by Maarten Goldstein, May 04, 2006 4:27am PDTRitual has been updating the SiN Episodes website daily with new Emergence screenshots, so I figured we'd update our gallery for the game and add the most recent snaps. In related news a new blog is up at the official site, announcing plans for an Arena Mode and the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo. In the Arena Mode, to be released some time after Emergence becomes available, you get spawned into an arena and get charged by an endless supply of foes (with the difficulty dynamically tuned based on how you are doing). The longer you last, the higher your score. As for E3, Ritual will have Emergence running at three partner booths, and booth babes have been hired as well. Some photos of these fine ladies are included with the blog update. Lastly, fan site Ritualistic has a Q&A with the game's voice cast.
SiN Episodes: Emergence will be in stores and on Steam next week.

So I really am looking forward to this game. I want to play it bad. Now here's the thing. Shorter game, lower price. Yet there are going to be 9 episodes apparently? Is there 3 or 4 full games worth of content in this story line? That's a shitload of money for one full game.

Booth babes, dated graphics, horrible animation - the ingame movies do absolutely nothing to me. Oh, and someone needs to tell them: photographed facial textures on lowpoly models look bad (http://www.shacknews.com/images/image-o-matic.x?sin_episodes/060501_02.jpg) - but doing the same for hair is just hideous. Come on, at least TRY to model some sort of hair shape!
No wonder they try to go the budget route....

I don't know. For what seems like a character driven IP it is an odd placement choice. With all due respect to Ritual, are their marketing folks just trying to exploit the sex appeal angle or what?

I'm sorry about spoiling all the SIN fun party, but I'm waiting for some reviews on this. I'm really trying hard to like it, but I can't love any women without boobies, so to speak.... I'm a graphics whore.

Ironically none of them think that the episodic model is a way to bleed more money from gamers, even the one who spotted the nine digits on the top of sinepisodes.com.
"difficulty dynamically tuned based on how you are doing"
and
"the longer you last, the higher your score"
don't seem to fit together.
