E3: 'Dexter' Game Nearing Completion
posted by arn on June 7th, 2009 4:59 PM EDT in Upcoming Games
Readers may remember that we had originally met with Marc Ecko Entertainment back at GDC in March.
At the time, we got the first look at the upcoming Dexter game based on the Showtime television series. As we said before, the game tries to remain very true to the show with close tie-ins to the first season as well as the involvement of one of the show's writers and Dexter actor Michael C. Hall.
We met with the company again at E3 and found that the game was still scheduled for a summer completion and that the game is said to be about 80% feature complete and 60% content complete. Much of the gameplay is similar to our earlier video, though a lot of work has been done on the UI, tutorial and cut scenes. This gameplay video shows the "kill room" which we didn't show much of before:
[ Full HD version | Low Bandwidth version ]
The company also released new screenshots of the game.:
You mean season 4 of Dexter…
One of my favorite TV shows seems to get a really decent game.
Can't wait for release.
The game I'm waiting for!
looks good. The interegation part looks fun and sadistic, it's just a shame that the 'slashing' is censored
Graphics are excellent!
It would be awesome if they could link the TV (Ingame of course) with your own ipod video's/movies…
(and when you turn on your radio it shuffles your own songs)
maybe that's possible with FW 3.0?
With the parental controls coming in 3.0, you would think this wouldn't need to be censored. Hopefully it won't be!
Either way, I can't wait!!
Now I know its been mentioned before, but in light of the upcoming 3rd gen iphone announcement, I'll have to say it. The screenshots for this game are all in HD. All of their previous ones were as well. Their excuse previously was that their computer software allowed them to reproduce the images in HD. Now, while it probably is possible, I don't see why you would do that! I mean, Nintendo DS screenshots are all incredibly low-res and could look a lot better if they were 'reproduced' as HD images, but I don't know of any companies doing that! Its a long shot, but I'm gonna say this company knows about a certain iphone HD being released this year…
@Frmaster
It's just marketing… there is no big secret HD iphone coming. And HD has to be contender for most mis-used term of the decade.
Jeezuz… you mean they haven't fixed the glaring fact that Dexter still looks like he's made out of chocolate for some bizarre unexplainable reason…???
