Gamescom preview overviewWe’re still recovering from showing the game to tons of people at Gamescom 2011, but it looks like Dragon Commander made an impression upon journalists all over the world. Here’s an overview of all the new stories we’ve seen pop up online.
Destructoid - “Seeing flying armies fight out their battles as you swoop around as a dragon with a jetpack is simply amazing.”
***
IGN - IGN did a top 11 of excellent PC stories from GamesCom, and included Dragon Commander, saying “Hey, remember that thing I said about dragons being awesome earlier? Well, what do you think of jetpacks? Awesome too, right? Then it's about time that someone started putting jetpacks on dragons. They put a jetpack on your dragon so you can fly while you fly.”
***
BitGamer - “What strikes me though isn't that the game has the potential to be awesome when it's done, but that it looks fantastic already.”
***
RPGWatch went all the way – they not only did
an extensive preview and
interview , but also managed to sneakily take some handycam shots from the presentation. Quotes we liked – “Larian Studios is cool” and “The concept of the game is very interesting and if they can manage to get everything integrated in the right way this will be one very fun dragon game to play.”
***
Machinima - “The game is still early, but it’s genre-blending in a way that is very interesting. The team even designed a prototype board game version of the game to play test the systems and rules they had in place. And, as I mentioned, it’s very pretty.”
