Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games.
when she reviewed the RPG from by French studio Spiders, saying its systems"parrot those of successful RPGs, but they're all a bit thin." The studio has higher hopes for its sequel, which is scheduled for release in the summer of 2024. In a first for Spiders, it'll be coming out in early access.
Jehanne Rousseau, CEO of Spiders and lead writer of Greedfall, explained that Greedfall 2's new combat system, which lets you control all of your companions, inspired the decision to launch in early access."It's not turn-based but you still have this kind of control over your team," she said,"and for this specific reason having the feedback of the player was something that was super important—because it's something new. We never did these type of controls before.
A cinematic story trailer for Greedfall 2 accompanied the announcement, showing the protagonist being captured and enslaved before fighting for her freedom. So often games in these kind of colonial-era fantasy settings skirt the edges of their themes, but based on this it seems like Greedfall 2 will not. It suggests a game about slavery where you play an escaped slave rather than, say, a sympathetic outsider who does a few sidequests where you have the option to help free a slave here and there.
