Upgrade Complete!
Sit down. We have some rather large announcements to thrust upon you. ORION: Prelude just got that much crazier.
When working with dinosaurs it is one of your most important priorities to ensure that they are happy at all times. Well, they had a few demands - and weve granted them. This includes bigger worlds, destructible elements, a larger player-count, bots AND flyable vehicles. Now lets take a deeper look.
BIGGER WORLDS
Were not kidding. Some of the largest levels in ORION: Prelude are now well, larger. Not only are the actual playing areas significantly larger, but so are the landscapes in the distance. Weve put together a comparison at one of the more famous internal maps - Incursion.
DESTRUCTION
Yes, youve read that correctly. Destruction - like Battlefield. We are going to be utilizing NVIDIAs APEX Destruction technology. Want to see rock chunks get obliterated? Want to see tree parts shake and even fall off when a T-Rex smashes a player or vehicle into it? Then ORION: Prelude is the place to witness all of it.
Destruction, much like most features in the game, will be allowed to be turned both on and off. We will be displaying our use of this technology later this year.
LARGER PLAYER-COUNT
While we never formally announced an official player count previous to this post, our previous internal goal was 24 players. We have now since then upgraded that number to 32 players.
BOTS
Will it have bots? - This is always a concern for any game, especially a multiplayer-focused shooter. We are proud to say that yes, ORION: Prelude will be shipping with bots. Our lead programmer actually focuses in Artificial Intelligence and we are going to deliver worth-while opponents for you to destroy both offline and online.
FLYABLE VEHICLES
Yes, you read that correctly. We are officially announcing the inclusion of flyable vehicles. With the larger map additions it only made sense for us to allow fans to recreate their favorite Top Gun dogfighting moments in a universe filled with Dinosaurs and dudes with Jetpacks. Each team will feature one distinctive flyable vehicle addition to their arsenal. We will be showcasing footage of them in-game later this year.
