The game is called Ryce: Son of Rome. It is a third person action-adventure that has been developed by Crytek (using CryEngine) and is about to get released in November for Xbox One.
The main developers goal for this videogame was to merge story and action and to improve the emotional quality of the game. They have used many film techniques like building of a character, Imaginarium motion capture for capturing full actor performances (face and body at the same time). However, what I want to talk about is 'Damocles' trailer video created by Jakub Jabłoński and Platige.
Watch trailer here:
I think this trailer demonstrates an outstanding creativity. The idea of using painted textures for 3D models is a great idea in my opinion and shows that game developers becoming braver in exploring possibilities of applying traditional art within games.
The art within the trailer reminds me somewhat concept art for Guild Wars 2.
Here are some examples of Guild Wars 2 art:
Some of the viewers’ response in comments sections on YouTube and other websites seem to be mainly positive. Quite a few people seem to express a whish of having the whole game art looking like it does in this trailer. Game audiences seem to be maturing and looking for new ways to enjoy videogames. Hopefully in the near future some game developers will take on this idea.
