Myth III Interview

Zu dem nun schon in der dritten Auflage erscheinenden RTS gibt es ein Interview (engl) auf GA-Strategy.

With so many titles now mixing genres, just what type of game will Myth III: The Wolf Age be? I believe the official genre would be called "Squad Tactical RTS" or something like that. If you have played the first two games, you'll be familiar with the type of gameplay we're going for. What we are focusing on is cutting edge graphical enhancements. The previous games were far ahead of their time for physics modeling and addicting real-time gameplay.

We are keeping all the things that made the original Myth series great while re-working the graphics engine to run in a completely 3D Open GL world. All the units will now be low-poly 3D models with hundreds of animations. Even the trees, bushes, and grass will be 3D models that can sway in the wind and bend when walked through. The titanic level terrain maps will be fully 16-bit textures with high-resolution detail maps that will keep the ground sharp to the pixel, even when zoomed into a warrior's boot.
