Let’s see how many people hop directly to the comments section before watching the Venetica Traiding and Training developer diary!
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.
We’ve not seen much of the daughter of death since Venetica was announced back in May, so dtp has sent along some new screens depicting the sort of on-the-job hazards she’ll be facing.
newVideoPlayer("Venetica_kotaku.flv", 500, 301,""); Here’s the debut trailer for dtp and Deck 13′s Venetica to go along with the screenshots and press release from earlier today. Nice try on on the movie guy voice, but it certainly looks…interesting. Definitely erring on the action side of action RPG, though from the scenes we do see we can infer that they won’t be skimping on story, unless she’s just the kind of girl who hugs everyone, which is a story in and of itself!
In the era of Venetica, Death is more than just the end of existence…Death is a job, with the holder voted into office by the mysterious Corpus organisation. Even the most foolproof hiring methods have their flaws (I’m living proof!), and when a cunning necromancer assumes office, bent of using his newfound powers to spread death and destruction across the land, it’s up to Scarlett, the daughter of the currently dispossessed Death, to set things right.
Sometimes all you need is an interesting concept to pique my interest, and DTP Entertainment has managed to do exactly that with just a few paragraphs and four screens of this RPG, due out in 2009 for the PC and Xbox 360. Nifty main character, interesting world, potential for almost limitless power…definitely one to keep an eye on.
