NetEase has unveiled the latest gameplay trailer for its previously revealed 3D urban open-world game "Project: Mugen." This game combines elements of anime culture with an open-world environment, raising the question: could this be the closest we've come to a "3D GTA" in the realm of mobile gaming?
🕊️ Swing and FLY
The gameplay showcased includes a character effortlessly swinging around, akin to Spider-Man. The smoothness and freedom of this swinging mechanic are unprecedented.
Apart from swinging, the trailer showcases various other movement styles, like wall-running:
Reliable sources state that mechanics like swinging, wall-running, and parkour won't be limited by stamina bars.
🌃 Watch live gig, movie, fireworks! Driveeeee vehicles!
The trailer also showcases scenes of driving and riding motorcycles. Although it's not yet clear if you can hijack vehicles from pedestrians, just looking at these scenes does invoke a sense of "anime GTA" imagination.
⚔️ Combat with Interaction and Destruction
All the combat experience that showcased in trailer is confirmed as real gameplay by source.
In terms of combat, the overall framework still follows the common pattern seen in 3D action mobile games.
You can use superpowers to lift a car and then smash it onto an enemy's head.
Exclusive Gameplay
In addition to the Trailer, we also have obtained two complete exclusive gameplay footage, showcasing the swinging mechanics and combat sequences. In these unedited and authentic clips, we can observe details that were not highlighted in the trailer.
In this demo of swinging showcase, after the character utilizes the swinging ability, there is a seamless transition to riding a motorcycle. Combining this with the scenes in the trailer where swinging connects with combat, it's evident that the game offers a high degree of freedom in action transitions.
From the above segment of the combat gameplay, we can further confirm that the trailer indeed uses in-game visuals. At least for the PC version, the precision of both characters and scenes in the visuals is largely consistent with the trailer imagery.
🔍 Summary
The provided in-game footage is from an early version and changes are possible in the final release. However, one thing is certain after watching – the in-game visuals of "Project: Mugen" do match the trailer presentation.
We will keep an eye on this game, especially due to its promising in-game visuals. Frankly. Will "Project: Mugen" truly challenge the 3D open-world genre? Well time will tell, as the final verdict depends on hands-on experiences.
the swinging and wall running animations look almost the same as from insomniac's spiderman ngl but all in all looks pretty cool
