First Look: The Mark of Kri - E3 Preview

First Look by FOUREYEDDRAGON | 05/20/2002 | 11:51:38 AM PST

Mark of Kri claims to have a combat system that is so fresh Sony had to patent it. Come on in and have a look at the first screens.

In the Mark of Kri, you?ll play as Rau, a warrior who embarks on an epic adventure to piece together a powerful spell that has been broken into six parts. In what is a Sony first-party?game rarity, Kri will have a Mature rating, which means the game will be full of blood, decapitations, and a menagerie of death animations. Indeed, Kri?s gameplay will emphasize a deep combat system that enables you to perform a variety of finishing moves using either weapons or just your bare hands. In fact, the combat system has already proven to be so unique and effective that Sony has patented the system so no one else can use it.

Fortunately, Sony says Kri will feature an actual story line and a few puzzles along the way, so the gameplay won?t be repetitious with just fighting. The Mark of Kri will also be fully painted and animated like a Disney movie, and judging by these early screens, the game is on its way to becoming just that?a Disney film, but for a mature audience only.
