Naoki Hamaguchi, the co-director of 2020's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 7 Remake, says he was greatly influence💫d influenced by Horizon: Zero Dawn, an action RPG developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2017.
In an article published on the PlayStation Blog, Hamaguchi said Zero Dawn’s world and visuals were s big influence on Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and he expects the game to have a similar evolution to the forthcoming sequel 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Horizon Forbidden West, scheduled to be released for PS 4ꦕ and PඣS5 this year.
“Horizon Zero Dawn, the first game of the franchise, left a huge impress🀅ion on me as a game creator. I was taken by the deep immersive experience provided by the unbelievable graphics as well as the unique world I found myself in, a future where civilization has collapsed,” Hamaguchi said.
“In the sense that the next [Horizon] title is expected to evolve even further, ෴Final Fantasy 7 R💜emake, which I’m in charge of is expected to do so the same way. For that I have a personal affinity for Horizon (laughs). As a fan, I’m very much looking forward to Horizon: Forbidden West,” he added.
Final Fantasy 7, which was praised for its graphics, gameplay, narrative, and music, is 🍬set in the dystopian cyberpunk city of Midgar, where 🎀players control mercenary Cloud Strife, who joins AVALANCHE, an eco-terrorist group trying to stop megacorporation Shinra from exploiting the planet.
“The structure of the original Final Fantasy 7 story is designed to be fairly linear up until the escape from Midgar, so we were always conscious of the risk of undermining the innate sense of tension and suspense if we introduced more open-🔜endedness to how it played,” Hamaguchi told Games Radar.
“A game design[ed] with only lin꧋earity and no degree of freedom tends to be perceived negatively by players. Accordingly, we put some freedom of movement into the scenario in the settlement locations, so that players can enjoy the side content within the story at narrative-suitable points, without risking a loss of the sense of urgency within other sections,” he added.
Hamaguchi discussed a possible 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:sequel to the game during a CEDEC conference talk last month, Hamaguchi said he aims to create a similarly immersive world as the one that exists in Midgar. “We want to take that typ💙e of detail and allow users to experience how they experienced Midgar in the Remake but with the rest o📖f the world,” he said.
