Johns St., Port Moody, BC, V3H 5E5 newreliable. (Sam Linton)īy Simon Roy, $5.95, 56 pgs New Reliable Press, 313-3142 St. Hopefully, Roy will build on this foundation to create more quality comics to come. Somewhat rough lettering (I don’t want to say illegible per se, but it does get hard to read at times) and a rather abrupt ending do mar the book slightly, but all in all it is a strong first and a definite pleasure to look at. The uncertainty i nRoy’s line and greyscale work compliments the sense of paranoia and disaffect conveyed in the story beautifully, and really adds to the sense of a fully realized world we are exploring. Though it is releasing for older hardware, the developer stresses that next-gen technology is. These are qualities that could indicate a lack of artistic confidence, but in Jan’s Atomic Heart this clearly isn’t the case. Atomic Heart is coming to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PS5 in addition to Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Roy has a rough but polished style, a slight waviness to his lines and a blurring of his use of greys, giving the comic a look of watercoloured black and white. The stand out quality of the book, however, is the quality of the art. It helps that Roy also has a good ear for naturalistic dialogue, giving the world and the characters a grounded, realistic feeling even if they are inhabiting the bodies of rental robots paid for by their health insurance. Roy excels at painting a fairly complete looking world by filling out artistic details in his backgrounds to give a fairly immersive idea of a post-depression future Germany. Thanks to DSOGaming for finding this one.As a first effort, Simon Roy’s not-quite near-future sci-fi tale Jan’s Atomic Heartholds promise, revealing a young creator with the chops to be a good artist as well as a good storyteller. The result is certainly better than what we got with Konami’s efforts in the Silent Hill HD Collection, but that’s admittedly a pretty low bar already.
Silent also added both a first-person and third-person camera to the game for a modern flare.Īccording to Silent, the goal of the project was to push the original game to its limits within a modern game engine. Silent also rebuilt the lighting system for the game, which is further detailed in the video below. From there, Silent was able to recreate scenes from Silent Hill 2 in Unreal Engine 5, with the added bonus of using Unreal Engine 5’s ray traced reflections and dynamic shadows. Rather than remake the assets entirely (Silent admits that they aren’t an artist), the assets from Silent Hill 2 were exported from the original game, which were then rebuilt and tweaked with Blender. Case in point: a YouTuber known as Silent has shared a video showing off their remake of Silent Hill 2 in Unreal Engine 5. Plus, it’s always cool to see just what fans of varying experience in game development come up with in their tributes. But, as it goes, until Konami finally reveals something, we’ll have to rely on the fans for giving us our fix. You might be tired of all of these fan remakes of Silent Hill games without Konami telling us just what exactly they’re doing with the franchise.
Hopefully we get another glimpse of the gameplay before then.Ītomic Heart is current in development for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC via Steam.
If that’s the case, then Atomic Heart will launch Q4 2022 as stated. However, Mundfish later refuted the rumour, stating that development on Atomic Heart had not stopped, nor did the Russian developer have any offices in Poland. But as a result of the stoppage, the game would “most likely be postponed to first quarter of 2023.” And while the developers have teased a release date for later this year, a rumour has surfaced that Atomic Heart has been delayed to 2023.įirst reported by Xbox Game Pass Poland, a member of the website had purportedly been in contact with a Mundfish team member, who stated that development on Atomic Heart had been halted for a month due to the conflict in Ukraine, but had now resumed. FPS fans have been keen to see just what Mundfish has been cooking up with their Dystopian Soviet shooter Atomic Heart for a while now.
