All the report is value studying, and the part that basically catches my eye is about how the Black Panther recreation would have tailored the Nemesis System. Cliffhanger was began by ex-developers from Monolith Productions, the minds behind Center-earth: Shadow of Mordor and its sequel Shadow of Warfare, and reportedly the Cliffhanger workforce was trying to create a brand new system that expanded on what the Nemesis System from these video games might do.
Monolith’s Nemesis System concerned procedurally generated enemies who had distinctive traits (principally grudges directed towards the protagonist Talion) and who would finally return for a rematch. Some would flee from battle solely to come back again stronger later within the recreation. Others maybe defeated Talion and have been shocked to later see he was battling them once more. Enemies would even get promoted among the many ranks of Uruks, making it really feel like your foes weren’t simply anonymous fodder to be slaughtered.
It was a totally creative enemy system, and an expanded model of it appears like it will have been a wild journey in Cliffhanger’s Black Panther recreation. In line with the Bloomberg story, the sport would have featured “numerous playable heroes” vying for the title of Black Panther, like T’Challa, his sister Shuri, and everybody’s favourite scene-stealer from the 2018 movie, Killmonger. They might all be opposing an alien invasion from Skrulls, shape-shifting aliens featured in MCU movies like Captain Marvel and comedian occasion collection like Secret Invasion.
Skrulls sound like such an ideal match for the Nemesis System; as Bloomberg reported, Skrull enemies might even pose as your allies, throwing an entire new layer of intrigue and immersion into the Nemesis System, already one of many extra unique concepts seen in modern video video games. I can solely think about how thrilling it’d be for one in all your allies to all of the sudden assault you, revealing themself as a Skrull chief you thought you bested for good earlier within the recreation.
And now as a result of EA doesn’t appear to know what it’s doing, we received’t be getting Cliffhanger’s revamped Nemesis System. And, even worse, the gifted builders behind this method are left in search of work and questioning what’s subsequent for them.
