"At the same time (Smilegate) has been expanding multiplayer, they've actually been doing quite a bit of worldbuilding," explained executive producer Tuukka Taipalvesi. The factions, their viewpoints, the people who fight for them, and their conflict is the key to Crossfire's identity and the thing that Remedy is trying to get across in the campaign. "Black List is more of an emotional ragtag group of members, whereas Global Risk is organized and well stocked," he explained. Two are confirmed at the moment, one played from Black List's point of view and the other from that of Global Risk.Ī lot of Crossfire's world has been established in broad strokes-the two factions are private military corporations whose employees differing worldviews, both engaged in a "sprawling, global conflict," communications director Thomas Puha said in an email interview with GameSpot. It'll be released in batches called "Operations," which Remedy says will last around three hours each.
We didn't see much of the game in action, but the presentation did show off a mechanic that distinguishes CrossfireX from being another Call of Duty or Battlefield: Combat Breaker-an ability that slows down time to allow Luis an extra second or two to line up shots and take down enemies, not unlike the Bullet Time mechanic in Remedy's Max Payne series.Īpart from that, however, CrossfireX currently seems to play very similarly to the other big FPS titles on the market, at least in its single-player campaign. There's a lot of aiming down sights, a lot of checking corners and doorways, a lot of dropping enemies with a quick burst to the chest or a well-placed headshot before moving on to the next corridor. Luckily, he escapes the crash and absconds into a hospital, where the player takes control of him to shoot their way through Global Risk goons and meets up with Black List operatives hoping to extract him.Īs far as gameplay is concerned, CrossfireX currently looks pretty similar to other military shooters of the type. It seems that Global Risk, one of the two factions at the heart of Crossfire, and its leader, General Maddox, are after Luis. The mission we saw started with Luis handcuffed on a prison bus, where a guard speaks with him in a brief character-building moment-before a drone flies beneath the bus and explodes, flipping it.
The hands-off gameplay demo we saw expanded on the CrossfireX trailer that appeared during the showcase, focusing on Luis Torres, a "skilled thief" and civilian in the game's world. Now Playing: Crossfire Reveal Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2020 By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
