Blue Estate Novel to be Made Rail Shooter
Viktor Kalvachev, the creator of the dark, comic, graphic novel, "Blue Estate" has said that it will now be adapted into a novel.
"It takes only seconds to get used to and hours to master. You basically point the controller and squeeze the trigger; you don't ever have to use the joysticks. For all the gestures we're using the touch pad, which gives the opportunity for unique gameplay experiences, depending on how players choose to hold and interact with the controller," said Kalvachev, in a post on PlayStation Blog.
The novel will be adapted into a rail shooter for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and it will be making good use of the DualShock 4's gyroscope functions in PlayStation 4.
The game will be narrated by a private detective who is himself a subbed of investigation by Federal Bureau of Procastination. The game will be having two playable characters named Tony and Clarence.
