Thanks to NVIDIA, We May See More 4K IPs from More Developers
Today, we bring you new footage from the game RESET. What’s so special about this game, you ask? It is Theory Interactive’s first sci-fi puzzle-solving game, and it is utilizing NVIDIA’s new PhysX and WaveWorks technology. Thus, we can witness the immersion levels as granted by their oceanic simulation. Watch thirteen minutes of it down below:
“The second-to-second gameplay is similar to games like Portal but the main mechanic is akin to games like The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time and Prometheus UDK. The game is nonlinear and you will be free to roam the mysterious 16 square km volcanic island in the Galápagos. 30 individual puzzle areas can be discovered and solved in any order.”
From RESET we obtain an open-world puzzler. Sort of. Explore the island however you want, going where you please in a dynamic environment. And such IPs are not magnificent without beautiful landscapes; thankfully, the game delivers 4k, pristine visuals.
“Wandering around and exploring the island is something that you will enjoy at your own pace, so that will affect the length possibly greatly, but we are looking at around 6 hours of brain teasing game play. Although the story is strongly tied to the puzzles, the island is littered with bits and pieces of information, that will deepen the experience. This game is meant to be played through in a couple of sittings and leave your brain tingling afterwards for some time.”
Theory Interactive is utilizing their own Praxis Engine and taking solutions from NVIDIA’s award-winning GameWorks software development kit. You can find out more at the official website here. Unfortunately, you won’t find the release date, because Theory is working to make this a one and done deal, getting their game right the first time. We’ll update you as we learn more, so be sure to check back. Happy gaming.
