【《生化震撼：打破模具》官方游戏设计画集】.pdfVIP

’ Ive never written a foreword before, so you’ll have to bear with me on this one. What is BioShock without its look? A lot of games sell on features. BioShock sells on Rapture. Even when non-gamers see it, they say, “Man, I gotta check that out!” It’s a hard bridge to gap, in an industry where almost everything is either Aliens sci-fi, Lord of the Rings high fan- tasy, or Saving Private Ryan well, you know. But the BioShock art team has pulled this off. So when Elizabeth Tobey, the BioShock community manager asked me to write a forward to the art book, I couldn’t help but turn it into a love letter. Every single one of the artists blew me away, but here’s the thing I’ll remember most from each of them. WARNING SPOILERS AHOY – DON’T READ UNTIL YOU’VE PLAYED! B O S T O N Scott Sinclair The statue of Atlas in the Kashmir. It’s the first thing he built after coming back to Irrational after a stint on Guitar Hero, and it sort of set the tone. Oh, yeah – he art directed everything else. Without Scott, there is no BioShock style. Shawn Robertson Masterminding the Little Sister safe house. I just walked in one day, and there it was…dozens of amazing animations, all strung together in a cohesive whole. Back in the old days, Shawn used to animate everything himself and do all the special effects. Now he’s the visionary of sequences we only could have dreamed of making before. Nate Wells The Steinman “murals” with the Dali-esque female heads and the bloody scripted phrases. With barely a conversation between the two of us, he managed to create a world for Steinman to live. It was a toss-up between this, the eye-popping chaos of Apollo Square and the descent to Rapture. Oh, yeah… he also concepted the first Big Daddy. When you have these masterpieces to choose from, you thank your lucky star
