Schizm 2 - Chamaleon [ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+

[CoolWind]

La segunda parte de Schizm, Mysterious Journey 2 - Chamaleon, va a salir este mismo año.

Como novedad principal hay que destacar el uso de gráficos renderizados a tiempo real, de manera
similar al realMyst.

Por lo que cuentan los desarrolladores, han tenido en cuenta los comentarios (más bien diría quejas ) sobre la primera parte, así que en teoría debería ser un juego mejor.

Para ir haciendo boca, aquí tenéis un enlace para descargar un video de 3 minutos en el que se ve al juego en movimiento. Son unos 20 MB y necesitaréis el Windows Media Player (si tenéis Windows seguro que está instalado).

Personalmente quiero destacar el agua, mucho más conseguida que en Exile y que en realMyst. A ver qué pensáis vosotros...

CW, releyendo arriba vemos que tus primeros comentarios se referían al video. ¿Hay diferencias con la demo?

La demo coincidimos en que es maravillosa, y a pesar del mal recuerdo del 1, estos puzzles de la demo y la calidad gráfica, nos animan a darle una oportunidad al Schizm 2. A ver a qué precio sale... y las primeras reseñas...

Sobre la historia, la demo que trae Gamelive, incluye un Readme, donde viene algo de la trama y otros datos.
Os lo copiamos aquí por si no viene con la versión de la demo online:

two centuries of secrets and lies. In so doing he hopes to restore the
