[ -> Interview]

After their <a href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsactio ... preview</a> yesterday, <a href="http://www.rpgdot.com">RPGDot</a> have posted an <a href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsactio ... >interview with Jan Beuck</a>, the Creative Director of the game's developers, <a href="http://www.master-creating.com/">Master Creating</a>.<blockquote>RPGDot: WhatÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´s the difference between RA and all the other vanilla action RPGs out there? Or is it just another Diablo clone?
 
 Jan Beuck: Is there a good Diablo clone? IsnÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t Diablo still the best of itÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´s kind, totally out of reach for all that followed it yet?
 And isnÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t this what makes people worried, that the game could be simply bad, not that it could be like Diablo 2? ;-)
 But thatÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´s a question, not an answer. Restricted AreaÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´s action parts play a lot like Diablo 2, but much faster. However, the role-playing part is much more complex compared to all other Action-RPGs (multiple choice dialogs that change story and relationship to NPCs, multiple endings, real characters instead of classes and so on).
 
 Also the story is diffent depending on the character you choose. And - although some of you may say thatÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´s not important - we spent a lot of time into the presentation of the game and the story - each important point is told by high quality rendered cutscenes, the soundtrack has been done by three different parties - each time from scratch - until it fit our expections and the graphics are very atmospheric, highly detailed and supported by dynamic lights and shadows. </blockquote>Let's hope "the role-playing part" is good.

admins are community maybe? :fused:

anyway screenies of RA look alrite, but I'll wait for reviews to decide whether to get interested in this game or not.

oh geezus, I've just read "The action is inspired by the first Diablo: you enter an area, blast yourself through it and kill whatever is in your way"
:barf: sweet :barf:

Diablo2 is one of my all-time favorites, not for its depth, but just for how goddamned fun it is, and you can boot up and play for a few hours without any real investment. It's masturbation and cigarettes rolled into one.

Looking forward to Restricted Area!

I don't think I'll wait for the reviews, because reviews have never ment anything to me. I can make up my own mind and desicions. If the reviews are bad, I just wait for it to hit the bargain bin, and if it's really as bad as the reviews say (if they say it's bad) then that won't take long, and I'm only out 10 bucks.

Too bad cigarettes suck and there's better than masturbation. Diablo2 was a shitty game and anyone who played over level 30 is a douchebag.
