Sucker Punchilla on "kunnianhimoisia suunnitelmia" seuraavan pelinsä suhteen

Reilu vuosi sitten julkaistu Infamous: Second Son oli arvioijamme mielestä mainio peli ja se oli myös erittäin näyttävän näköinen. Pelin kehittänyt Sucker Punch ei kuitenkaan tyydy lepäilemään laakereillaan, sillä he haluavat todennäköisesti seuraavan pelinsä näyttävän vieläkin upeammalta. Ainakin jos vedämme johtopäätöksiä yhtiön julkaisemasta ilmoituksesta, jossa he kertovat hakevansa lahjakasta artistia.

He haluavat palkata henkilön, joka voi puskea ulos PS4:stä vieläkin hienomman näköistä grafiikkaa. Koetko olevasi firman hakema henkilö? Siinä tapauksessa lue työpaikan kuvaus kokonaisuudessaan kuvan alta tai alkuperäisestä ilmoituksesta.

When you look at a person walking down the street, do you see diffuse, normal, and gloss maps instead of skin, hair, shoes, and clothing? Do you see the word "albedo" and know that it is not found in egg whites? Well then, we'd like to have a chat with you! We're looking for a Senior Character Texture/Look Dev Artist to work with Sucker Punch's physically-based rendering engine to create even more compelling and believable characters.

We're proud of the work we did on inFAMOUS Second Son, which helped show what the new generation of hardware was capable of. But we've got big ambitions, we're not satisfied, and we know there are people like you out there who can push us even further.
