Capcom’s Pragmata is Intriguing – Anime News Network

Five years ago, Capcom Release an announcement trailer for pragmatica new science fiction IP. It’s just a movie trailer, but it caught my interest because it shows an astronaut interacting with a little girl. Suddenly, their surroundings completely distorted zero gravity, and they both sent flights and the giant telescope was crashing.

Neither of them said a word, but the chaos felt very introductory. It is scheduled to be released in 2022, but it was subsequently delayed until 2023, and then delayed indefinitely. period SonyJune speech status, Capcom Finally announced that it will be released in 2026.

I was doing hands-on with Pragmata at the summer game festival, which wasn’t what I expected. Its combination of hacker and shooter mechanics makes for a fun and engaging game loop.

In the demo, I finally got the name of two characters. Hugh is the astronaut, and the little girl is Diane. It started with a leg injury, and Diane used some futuristic techniques to tinker with him. Later, when the robot attacked us, I was pushed into the tutorial.

exist pragmaticyou are controlling both Diane and Hug in the third person. Hugh pointed his gun as the left trigger was pointed, and Diane held her arm. A small screen pops up, allowing you to solve a sports puzzle mini game where Diane must solve to “crack” the robot. Successfully completing these mini games shocks the robots, making them vulnerable to the camera.

When you use the control stick on the left side of the controller, you also have to use the face button on the right to solve the puzzle when you manipulate the robot around the robot. During the puzzle, you have to move from the starting point to some necessary nodes to the exit, reminiscent of the old snake game on the Nokia phone.

I found these puzzles simple enough to browse, but sometimes I messed up due to the increasing tensions in the surrounding robots. In combat, this effectively creates a lot of suspense, thus allowing my attention to separate my attention.

The puzzle mini game also becomes more complex as it introduces different kinds of optional nodes, including defense drops. While you only need to browse the nodes you need, you can circumvent these optional nodes before completing the mini game. Defense against drop nodes increases damage to the robot, but the precious extra seconds required to collect these nodes make the Ris more vulnerable to attack. It’s a fascinating trade-off, and in combat power, players will need to make it.

and detailed information pragmaticEven after playing the demo, the game itself is still sparse, which in itself is the most attractive thing I have so far. I hope the hacker puzzle can further increase complexity in the rest of the game. The demo is only about 25 minutes, so if the relative difficulty of the puzzle remains the same throughout the process, but many hours pragmatic Ultimately, I can see the gameplay get stale.

I also started investing in Hugh and Diane’s father, like a relationship. Their origins are still shrouded in mystery, but if pragmatic A good story can be sung with its solid gameplay, and I can see the game become at least a hit song Capcom.

Either way, I’ll do it pragmatic As early as 2020, I was like this now. It will launch the PC, PS5 and Xbox series X|S next year.
