New Rime Details: "You don't kill monsters, it's getting away from Hollywood"

[ethomaz]

Found on GAF.

We could interview Raúl Rubio during last week's Madrid Games Week show. Here's full piece in Spanish with many artistic and gameplay comments/inspirations:

- Combines feelings of loneliness and discovery of classic films such as Jason and the Argonauts with childhood experience in the Mediterranean coasts.
- No combat, but you don't feel invincible, you know progress won't be easy. As a child, you are not aware of dangers.
- Original elements in puzzles, such as use of light or perspective (POV).
- Open world, but contained world. Tower isn't the end. It's the beginning, a surprise for players. "If you like exploration, I think you're going to love Rime. If you like to kill monsters, don't expect that". Comments on the industry itself, dev's role, moving away from Hollywood, learning from artists, finding limits of the medium.

Hell yes.

no combat?   hmm...

..i no longer expect this to review well.

Well the leaked details talked about health and starving. I don't think enemies are a big part of the game then.

It looks really interesting. Love the art style.

Remember Flower and Journey?

Aww ;(

But hey at least maybe it'll be original and may focus on the character survival against the environment? I can take that at least.

It sounds like kinda like LIMBO where you have to survive without actually fighting anything but using puzzles/objects or w/e to get through.

remember last gen when reviews didn't focus 95% of the review on the game the reviewer wished they were playing instead of the game they were playing?

Sounds interesting, definitely one to try for me but not sure if I'll enjoy it

Even if I don't end up buying it, I'll still probably watch a Lets Play of it.
