Will there be a storyline in Star Marine to be a little like Squadron 42 with some rendered cutscenes? Or is Star Marine just an FPS like unreal tournament, quake wars, etc? And will there be some FPS in Squadron 42 or maybe in the next part of the single player game?asked by Nahema Darkstar
TL;DRSquadron 42 will have FPS gameplay, while Star Marine is a simulation and test bed for new features and modes whose stories are only settings, not big story arcs like Squadron 42's.
There will be FPS in Squadron 42. The thing I want to talk about here though is; Star Marine is a simulation within the first person universe. Much like Arena Commander is a simulation within the first person universe. It's a game within a game. Star Marine is going to be a test bed for new features, new game types, new mission objectives and maps. We even plan on rolling out a way to do white box testing in the environments that you expect to use in the PU or even a part of a level for Squadron 42. Perhaps maybe we'll even roll out new enemy AI behaviour for certain monsters or other NPCs out there so we can test within that environment and get that working right and tweaked, get feedback from backers and get that into the game itself proper.The other questions will there be a story? Yes. Some modes will have a story and again it's like the setting, rather than the story. So it's like pirates are attacking the station. Fight them off. That's a story but it's not a big story. So it's not a story like you see in Squadron 42 that's where the big story arcs are going to come from.
And Star Marine is also used like Arena Commander is used like a simulation to practice your dog fighting skills. This is a simulation to practice your first person shooter skills if you don't want to jump right into the game.
Yeah. Not only that not only first person shooter skills. Your first person maneuvering skills. Say a place to learn how the character interacts with the environment.
