+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted June 26, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted June 26, 2009 Trine is a fantasy action game where the player can create and use physics-based objects to beat hazardous puzzles and threatening enemies. Set in a world of great castles and strange machinery, three heroes are bound to a mysterious device called the Trine in a quest to save the kingdom from evil. In Trine?, players work together to create and use objects to solve challenging physics-based puzzles and defeat dangerous enemies. Set in a kingdom on the verge of chaos, a warrior, a wizard, and a thief are bound by a powerful artifact known as "the Trine". Together, they must battle the forces of space, energy, and motion to put an end to the reign of the dark sorcerer that rules the kingdom. Featuring three-player cooperative play, each character has specific talents to invent new solutions to puzzles and original ways to defeat enemies. The Wizard can use magic to create objects and new paths, the Thief can use her agility and accuracy to quickly deal with enemies, and the Warrior unleashes pure destruction everywhere he travels. ?Trine? had an amazing E3 and we can?t wait to get it into the hands of PC gamers,? said Richard Iggo, VP of Marketing at SouthPeak Interactive. ?The PC platform gives as many players as possible the chance to join forces and find creative methods for completing game objectives. It?s up to them to determine how their quests will progress and how they?ll ultimately achieve victory.? The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics - each character's different ability helps the player battle an army of un-dead and defeat hazardous contraptions. The player can at any time freely choose whoever is best suited for the upcoming challenge or puzzle: The Wizard is able to summon objects to help solve puzzles and create new ways to overcome obstacles, the Thief uses her agility and dead-on accuracy to swiftly surprise the monsters, and the Warrior unleashes mayhem and physical destruction wherever he goes. Co-op multiplayer (on a single computer/console system) details: 1. The game features a cooperative multiplayer mode (up to 3 players together), featuring an easy join in/out logic to allow the maximum of fun ? join in at any time during the game! On PC, multiple input devices (joypads, mouse+keyboard) are supported. 2. With the Jump?n Run gameplay and 3 different characters and weaponry, the co-operative mode allows totally new tactics that take the action and puzzle solving to a new level! 3. For example, a player who is playing the Thief character cannot block enemy shots... However, another player who is playing the Knight who has a shield can provide cover from enemy shots while the other takes careful aim and shoots down the enemies. Trine will be released on PC in July 10, 2009, while the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade versions will follow shortly.

Slammers Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Is this a 3d semi/sidescroller? Almost looks like it from the pics. Games like this are the best ones when they turn out good, someone download the demo (I'm on 56k) and post what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comic Book Guy Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 The one thing I wish, is that we'd see some more side scrolling RPGs, like we used to have in the arcades in the '80s and '90s or at least an update to those ones into the 3D realm.

undergroove Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Downloaded and played through the demo earlier. It's a really good looking game so far. Controls can be a bit of a pig, but other than that, the demo's convinced me to drop the cash on the STEAM version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammers Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I HATE side-scrollers. They belong in the 90's. You don't belong in this thread then. Personally, I'll like a game if it's good and I'll hate it if it's ****. I don't see why you should hate any type of game purely for it's genre. What if the best game ever comes out and happens to be a platformer. Bit of a shame that you will hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted July 7, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 7, 2009 Absolutely brilliant game. Love it. I hate to say this since it is a PC game, but I am using my 360 controller with it. Just feels much better. But I truly do love it. Looks absolutely kick ass and plays just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted July 7, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 7, 2009 PC traitor!(Does the wireless controller work with it?) Not sure, if you have the hub for it to work on Windows than I see no reason why it would not. But I do think it was a special Hub, I just have a wired one so cannot tell you for sure.

And LOL just saw your response LOC. Thought you were being serious... Hey, I still use my Mouse and Keyboard for everything else. If I ever use it for an FPS, then I will be a traitor. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted July 7, 2009 Author Subscriber² Share Posted July 7, 2009 Absolutely brilliant game. Love it.I hate to say this since it is a PC game, but I am using my 360 controller with it. Just feels much better. But I truly do love it. Looks absolutely kick ass and plays just the same. Does it natively support a controller in-game? If so :D I have a wired 360 controller as well. Even although I started this topic I never tried the demo, downloading now!

Lingwo Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 It does support the 360 controller out the box. Just need to go into the options and change the controls to gamepad. It is a very cool game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
