The fact is that almost everyone is surrounded by their environment. There is no escaping it. We are all connected to the world around us. You can’t just ignore it, you can’t go from one day to the next and not live in your environment. You have to live in it.
Our goal in Deathloop is to take out eight Visionaries, intelligent party-lovers who’ve locked an island into one repeating day so they can piss about for eternity. It’s implied that Colt used to be the head of security for these Visionaries, but something bad clearly happened for him to be trying to murder them all.
For the most part, our environment is pretty bland. There are no natural features to look at that are unique to your environment, and everything is laid out in a way that a person who isn’t familiar with the general layout of your home would find it. One of the best things about the game is that the environment is a lot more alive than it seems. The environment seems to move, react, and react to the player.
The game doesn’t give much information about the environment, but it does give you a small glimpse into it. The game’s environment system is a little less active than many other games, but it’s still a strong piece of detail about the environment. It’s not like I’m not aware of most things around me, but it is like I’m in a new world that I’m not familiar with and things seem to be more alive than they are in other games.
For example, the world seems to be made up of objects that are shaped like the items you find in the game. A tree, for instance, is actually a piece of scenery that is shaped like the tree, but it also has a texture on it with a shape that looks like the tree. Objects are shaped like doors, windows, and so on, with a texture that looks like the actual object.
Objects seem to be like pieces of the environment, and we can interact with them, like with a door, or even with the texture on the tree. Even though I know it’s a lie, I still feel like I’m actually interacting with the environment, even though I’m not. I’m just like a part of it.
The entire environment is very alive. The trees, the clouds, the grass, the rocks. Everything is alive. I feel like I’m in a forest.
As I said, I don’t get that feeling from other games. Im very much like all of the other games in that regard. The feel of the environment is very intense, and the feel of the world is very alive.
My friend just mentioned that the texture on the tree is in fact a lie. I am aware that the tree is not real. I am aware that if I were to get close to the tree I would see the texture on the tree. The texture on the tree is however, actually very real.
A tree’s texture is an illusion, which is why it’s possible to see it from the ground. The tree is an illusion placed on top of a real tree.
