Bird Bird Bird Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Name: Rochard Developer: Recoil Games Platform: PSN (PS3) Release date: Q2 2011 What would happen if you combined Mario and ... Dead Space's Isaac Clarke? He'd probably look something like John Rochard, star of the upcoming PSN platformer Rochard. Burt Kane, creative director at developer Recoil Games, describes John as "no marine or super soldier, but just a tough, ordinary miner with a mustache, placed in an extraordinary situation." The lead character isn't the only Dead Space-ish aspect of the game: The trouble begins when the miners unearth "an ancient structure hidden deep in an asteroid." Although you won't be fighting Necromorphs in Rochard, you can expect a lot of zero-G moments. Using the "G-Lifter" (is that what Rochard is holding?), players "can lift and maneuver heavy objects around the environment," according to the press release, "and can eventually swing, jump and propel themselves huge distances throughout each level." What can you do? Gameplay is a combination of puzzle-solving and platforming. Some key features include: Crazy locales -- asteroids, alien artifacts and space casinos. Gravity manipulation -- defeat enemies and solve puzzles. G-Lifter -- John's main tool that can pick up heavy objects. When is Rochard coming out? Rochard will hit the PlayStation Network sometime this Spring. Videos @ IGN IGN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
