The player's small squad will be led by a freedom fighter named Angel Sanchez. All the dialogue is spoken, with over 6000 recorded lines of speech. First Resistance is set in the world of a series of novels by Anne McCaffrey, who is best known for the Dragonriders of Pern novels. I want to play. Red Storm better have a nice interface devised for this game to help us control the action, and I hope the puzzles are both clever and yet easy to solve.
Nothing destroys a game's immersiveness more quickly than an inane puzzle.
Mark's a little more bullish on Red Storm than I am. First Resistance sounds like it's straightjacketed into telling a linear story with fixed characters and scripted puzzles. Unfortunately, I remember how well that didn't work in Eidos' Commandos. I also have reservations that this is the first computer game from lead designer Richard Dansky, whose background is in writing horror RPG's and fiction at White Wolf. Three Inc. All rights reserved.
