BC, preguntas y respuestas

Uno de los programadores del juego se ha pasado por los foros de TXB (ugh) y amablemente ha respondido a varias de las preguntas.

Erm what sort of game is it meant to be? Which genre does it fall into?

It's a third-person action-adventure in a uniquely simulated environment

btw, how do you control one tribe member? Do you just tag him and then point and click where you want him to go and give him commands, or do you control every movement he makes?

You go into camp and you can make up a 'team' of cavemen, any of which you can directly control (like in any third-person action adventure as dwb says). The caveman you are controlling is considered the 'leader' and the other team members follow you around. You can also give the other team members orders with a single button press, and they will often do things of their own accord, or switch to any of the members at any time.

Ben Cousins, How many or what kinds of weapons in BC we can use?

As well as standard caveman weapons like spears and clubs, you can use any object in the world as a weapon. Recently I've been enjoying killing a Raptor, chopping it into bits and killing other Raptors by bludgeoning them with lumps of Raptor-flesh.

Is this game have a linear plot to it or is it open ended like Grand Theft Auto 3?

It's open-ended, very much like GTA3. I love GTA3.

Cool! Can you eat them after a kill?

Yes.

I'm sorry but I have a really hard time in believing that the end product will look like this.

Me too, because the final game will look better.

You don't know how many frames per second the game is moving at when those shots were taken.

I'm putting my hand on my heart here. The build the shots came from runs at between 30 and 45 fps.

Also, a lot of those don't even look like gameplay footage. I'm sure they are ingame but not gameplay footage.

I played the game and occasionally we paused it, went to a special debug camera, got a nice angle and hit the dev-only 'snap' button. The game looks like this...

Ben, will there be a section of the game for taking cave ladies back to the crib!?

Nothing quite like that, I'm afraid

Why is it that lowly, technology-lacking cavemen can defeat the huge T-Rex in battle?

Believe me, its a very long, drawn out, brutal and messy business.

Cuando Molineux dijo que en este juego habría "lagos de sangre" no mentía...

gimme!
