Message: [QUOTE="xesf, post: 258227, member: 809809"] Urban Decay was just a prototype, and they decided to do Ecstatica 2 instead. Most likely forced by Psygnosis to do a sequel, just by looking at that articlewe can see it looked sick!! Ecstatica is one of my favorite games, its such a great game in various aspects, the dark humour, the animations, the movie like scenes, the music and tention built because of the warewolf. As soon as you know how to beat the werewolf, things become less caotic. If you like Soul Games, this is most likely the first one! It is an impressive piece of tech, doing their own thing and exploring different ways of displaying 3d without polygons. Andrew end-up being a professor, there's very few details where he is now, while Alain is still active in the industry and left Ecstatica 1 to do Spyro and Prince of Persia. He just released a game in May called The Midnight Walk. Technically, Ecstatica 2 improved a lot, bumped the graphics and mixed polygons with ellipsoids, better palette management, although the game itself has too much randomness on it and it is a constant struggle to run in the scene and monsters poping from nowhere. The North America version of Ecstatica 2 bundle Ecstatica 1 for Free and compatible with Windows 95. I think due to shipping Ecstatica 2 they didn't pay attention to Ecstatica 1 testing with the new engine so there's a few issues here and there, but overall it is a much better version specially for the Controls update (you can turn while running). Both games with some workarounds can be made to work on a Steam Deck using Wine, with re-assignde controls from numpad to buttons/triggers. Edit: Trivia - Ecstatica 2 has a gun model from Urban Decan :) [/QUOTE]
