Prototype: Modelling New York 2

Tweet

In a second post on Prototype - a forthcoming game from Radical Entertainment - we feature an interesting insight into their modelling of New York.

The movie below provides various concept drawings and views of the model imported into the game:



Its interesting how well New York has been recreated for the game, although to be honest the last section of the video was slightly cringe worthy on delivering a product.

The game is scheduled for release on PC, PS3 and XBox 360 in 2008 - date yet to be confirmed.

See http://www.prototypegame.org for more screen shots and videos.

Thanks to Ian for posting a comment letting us know of the new video...

Prototype Game Preview - Modelling New York

Tweet

Michael from Metromapper.org sent us in an interesting link to a movie detailing a new game entitled Prototype by Radical Entertainment.

Of note is the 1:1 recreation of New York City with developers taking 22,000 photos to get it right, capturing the city as it was in 2007. The movie below provides both a preview of the game and an interview with the developers:



Capturing a city requires a photographic survey, but once the 22,000 photos are in place it can create a unique archive of the city at the point of creation. Combine this with open game play and its looking like an impressive digital version of New York.

The game is scheduled for release on PC, PS3 and XBox 360 in 2008 - date yet to be confirmed.

Thanks for the info Michael...
