When I last got the chance to romp around Empire City, the setting for Sucker Punch's electrifying open-world action game, it was at the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco. And after a long week of game demos and after parties I felt like I cheated myself a bit by not getting fully immersed in the world. Though I thought it looked and played great, it didn't leave a lasting impression due to my fatigue from GDC-mania. I redeemed myself by taking a recent trip to Seattle to get another look at the game, and this time the game stuck with me long after I put the controller down.
Empire City, Meet Cole
My time with the game began with, well, the beginning of the game. The game opens with a beautiful scene of downtown Empire City, the citizens walking around without a worry on their faces, kids are playing in a nearby park, and the cabbies driving by are courteous to their customers. In a flash, all the beautiful things that make up Empire City are extinguished as a giant, pulsating blue anomaly expanding at an alarming rate tears through the city, leaving a large blast area in ruins and instantly killing many people... that is, except for our soon-to-be superhero Cole McGrath. The intro cinematic blends seamlessly into the first moment when we are able to control Cole, as he staggers slowly out of the epicenter of the blast. As we move Cole through the wreckage, he continually gets zapped by nearby electrical cables that were brought down in the explosion. Barely escaping a collapsing structure on our way to meet up with Cole's friend Zeke, we finally make it to an evacuation site, but all is not well. Upon arriving, everyone around Cole combusts in a mysterious group electrocution, and he's left with the blame for the explosion, and the dead rescue workers. Suffice to say, Cole's had better days.
