Venetica: E3 Pretty I Didn’t See

I was really excited to finally see DTP Entertainment’s Venetica in action at this E3, but they didn’t show it to me, so here’s some screenshots.

It’s probably my biggest disappointment of this E3. I’ve been following Venetica since the game was first announced. It’s an action role-playing game starring the daughter of death, Scarlett, who must do battle with evil forces in order to defeat an evil necromancer and save her father. It’s in development for the Xbox 360 and PC by German developer Deck 13, with a release expected sometime this year. I rushed over to DTP this morning, giddy with excitement, but despite extending my meeting from a half hour to an hour, I only got to see Divinity II: Ego Draconis, which was nice, but no Venetica.

I did manage to grab some pretty screenshots, but I can’t look at them. They just depress me more. You folks look for me.

    @nicsno: It's a nice looking PSP game XDDD

    Nonsense. Everyone knows Deaths (adopted) daughter was named Ysabell. And his granddaughter, Susan.

    I like the simple model design, seems fresher than some of the bulkier, over-textured games out already, that think texturing everything is winwinwin. It's not, it just looks a mess if you don't know what you're doing. And she's a looker! With a petite bod! I'm sold.

    @kinganad: What're you doing on the internet with your PS3?

    I was hoping to hear about this game, too. Sad, sad, sad...
    Do we even know when it's supposed to come out? A quick Google search didn't turn up anything definitive, just a vague "2009". If it's scheduled for release by the end of the year, shouldn't we a little more about it?
    Still, those screenshots look great! I love the style.

    @Psudonym: I hear ya. I started playing it again a couple of days ago... Jen and Scree's banter absolutely rocks.

    Why do I feel like I've seen this game a long long time ago?

  • weirdcitizen

    Hmm, yes, okay... but I'm also interested in Era Draconis tbh (local Devs). So, where's the titbit of news on that?

    @Vitalz: She looks like she wants me >_>

  • Meteoric

    @Vitalz: Actually, it reminds me of Lara Croft.

    @Psudonym:

    + 100 cool points. The writing and voice-acting for that game were especially memorable, and the soundtrack is my favorite VG OST.

    It just reminds me that I'll probably never see a Primal sequel.

    i was interested until i saw that it was for 360/pc...oh well

    Geez two letters short from one of the most underrated and awesome game ever.

    P.S No PS3 that sucks i mean c'mon do you see how HOT she is.

  • B_NiN3

    @B_NiN3: Whoa my bad, looked at a really crappy few shots, the rest actually look really nice, and this would be a game that I would consider buying...the detail on structures looks really great, not just flat textures, and the character model of the chick is pretty nice, if not oddly disproportional and a tad cartoony. Should come along nicely...

  • B_NiN3

    Screenshots are not looking to hot compared to its competition...but graphics aren't everything! Maybe the gameplay is great!

    I believe.
