Sony Announces Plans To Release Primal In Summer 2002.
Primal is the first PlayStation 2 title by SCEE Studio Cambridge, the Bafta Award winning studio behind C-12 and the MediEvil series.
Primal lies in a dark, fantastical realm between the mortal world and the afterlife, where an eternal struggle between order and chaos rages. Abaddon (Chaos) has tired of his personal conflict with Arella (Order) and is breaking the rules. The natural order of Primal has been disrupted and the demons of the dark side are gaining in strength and power and upsetting the natural equilibrium
Join Jennifer Tate, a modern human girl, as she is pulled into the turbulent world of Primal. She must face the demons of an immortal realm and discover her own supernatural origin. A terrifying metamorphosis takes place as Jen begins to unlock her latent demon abilities…
Aiding Jen in her quest to pull the forces of order back from the brink of disaster is Scree, a noble and proud living gargoyle. Players can switch between Jen and Scree throughout the game.
Primal consists of four diverse realms, inhabited by distinct demonic races, each one inextricably connected to the others. The first kingdom Jen and Scree encounter is Solum, home to the Ferai, a rugged, primitive race of hunters. Aligned with the element of Earth, the Ferai culture centres on the natural laws of their environment.
Designed to effectively utilise PlayStation 2’s hardware architecture for optimal results, Primal features state-of-the-art motion capture animation, advanced AI and integrated cut scenes. Dynamic loading and detail management methods are used to present environments of exceptional size, beauty and complexity with no load delays, the entire game runs in high-resolution at 60 frames per second.
“SCEE Studio Cambridge have created a compelling and original storyline, a dark and violent fantasy for a mature audience,” commented Chris Deering, President, SCEE. He continued “They have managed to achieve a level of detail, graphical richness and depth of gameplay that few games will be able to match”.
