Hello everyone! Until the launch of Propagation: Paradise Hotel, we want to show you the game more from "inside".
In this first topic, we're going to focus on one of the most anticipated mechanics of this upcoming game: the Gun gameplay!
Our goal with Propagation: Paradise Hotel is to offer a scary experience while providing a simple, yet complete mechanic. As the Wii was at one time, VR allows us to offer an experience that is closer to reality and fun.
That's why making the reloading system more complex than in PropagationVR became a logical evolution, in order to move away from the Arcade style of the first opus and to get much closer to the oppressive atmosphere present in the survival horror game style.
This reloading mechanic is definitely the feature you asked us for the most! That's why we made it a point to take care of it and go in that direction.
But we wanted to go further than that! The gun and its mechanics should be an integral part of the atmosphere of the game, making the feature more complex brings a strong tension in the fight scenes. So you'll have to overcome your fear and the stress of the situation to get through it!
We relied a lot on the concepts of Shinji Mikami (game designer of the Resident Evil series) to make the basis of our gun gameplay. One of his key concepts is that the player should have new stages of difficulty and horror as soon as he has mastered one. We definitely wanted the gun to be one of the steps to completing your adventure!
During our 1st gameplay teaser (find it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEkFKsEyoJM) many of you told us that the "T-Cup" grip was not optimal and very little used in the handling of a firearm.
So we put ourselves in the shoes of Emily, the main character of this adventure. And what would a civil with a gun do, if not repeat what he saw in a movie?
So we decided to leave this grip for people who like her would do this instinctively.
However, you may encounter people who are experts in handling weapons in Propagation: Paradise Hotel... But we'll save that for another topic :)
Thank you so much for your support!
