Name: Away Out

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Genre: Adventure game

Release date: Coming early 2018

Developer: Hazelight

Publisher: Electronic Arts

 

 

 

You have to play either co-op online or on couch. What begins as a thrilling escape quickly turns into an emotional adventure unlike anything seen & played before. A Way Out is a two-player experience. Each player controls one of the main characters, working together to escape the prison and continue beyond into each character’s lives.

Why hazelight deal with EA why can't they self publish games on steam and give regional pricing :(

 

EA approached hazelight and showed them the moolah, hazelight couldn't deny.

 

Now partners in crime!

 

Also I think EA was looking for a couch co-op game and they got it.

Because EA Originals is giving them a level of security which these small studios can't afford to risk it. 

Making games is hard. It's a hard business. With EA Originals, the profits from these games to go into the hands of the studios making them. It's good for the studio and EA is helping out.

 

How is it bad? Just because you are not getting regional pricing? It's not like the game is going to cost $50.

 

Embarrassing to even read such comments. 6bBvHDW.png

Yep. The developer confirmed it on Reddit.

What's more, while you'll be able to play locally on the same screen, or with a partner online, it's split-screen only. "And I mean, only," said Fares, determined to make you feel like you're sitting together on a couch even if you're connecting with your pal over the internet.

I feel like split-screen even while online might be tough to get used to. It could be useful to see what your partner is doing from time to time, but it doesn't seem like it would always be necessary.

While playing a split-screen game while sitting on a couch with a buddy feels normal, I feel like split-screen even while online might be tough to get used to. It could be useful to see what your partner is doing from time to time, but it doesn't seem like it would always be necessary. And there's something fun in games about communicating over voice chat to let your friend know what you're doing, which might be lessened a bit if they can see what you're up to at all times.


Granted, I’m only speculating, as I’ve never played an online split-screen-only game. If it's used in novel ways in A Way Out, it could wind up feeling not just natural but completely necessary.

May be it's something to do with the kind of game they are building, i.e you always need to know what your partner is doing to make your move ( even if he is in a different room).

Something unique for sure. And I see it would be more story focussed rather than gameplay.... Which is a good thing to have in the midst of things.

When you buy the full version of A Way Out, you’ll get the special chance to invite friends into the full experience to play with you for free. So pre-order now, find a friend you can trust, and start planning. 

A WAY OUT breaks out on March 23, 2018.

 

COOL!
