Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince - Announcement Trailer PC/PS4/XB1/Switch
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
Trine 3 was pretty naff, but I enjoyed the first two games. Hopefully they can redeem themselves with this one.
I hope they tighten up the gameplay a bit, 3 was the first one I didn't finish because it didn't feel as it was worth it.
Looks like they're returning to pure 2.5D gameplay, which seems like a good idea given Trine 3's reception. Anyway, reminds me that I still need to play Trine 2
I believe they have released 3 games since Trine 3.
Shadwen, Has-Been-Heroes and Nine Parchments.
I see they went back to 2d, rather than 3/2d. I kind of like that take, but i'm also a 2d guy. I also like how Nine parchment and Trine is in the same universe.
It looks wonderful. I didn't like 2 all that much and I didn't play 3, but I've got such fondness for the first game and I love the visual style and fairytale style. Definitely putting this on my wishlist.
This looks good. I never played Trine 3, but heard bad things about it. Hopefully it's closer to the first two games. I was concerned about the developers though. I thought their last two games bombed (Nine Parchments and Has Been Heroes) so hopefully this game succeeds!
im in the minority on digging Trine 3 and wouldve liked to see that style expanded on into a better game, but you could feel the lack of budget to properly pull it off all around that game
Trine 4's Developers Want To Take The Series Back To What Worked (Kotaku)
At a recent hands-off demo for the game, two developers from Frozenbyte, the studio behind Trine, told Kotaku that the studio has abandoned the 3D journey it embarked on with Trine 3 and is instead returning to the series' 2.5D origins. "We felt that was the way for us to make the most compelling Trine game—by defining skills, puzzles, combat, everything by the 2.5D side scrolling," said the studio's marketing manager, Kai Tuovinen. "It's what the fans have been asking for, what we wanted as well and the way for us to make the most complete Trine." This return to form also happens to coincide with the series' 10th anniversary.
Trine 4 is meant to be a nightmare but it's a co-op puzzling dream (PCGamesN)
The Trine series is at its best when capturing a sense of magic. It's there when a huge creature of fantasy emerges in sparkling form to take up half the screen. And it's there when you suddenly discover a smart solution to a puzzle that's had you and a partner stuck for a whole ten minutes. What I've played of Trine 4 so far has me confident that it'll continue that legacy.
Trine 4 seems to be on the right path (Destructoid)
Taking a four-year hiatus refreshed the team and allowed them to hone in on what Trine is all about. It was a bold move to shift Trine 3 into the third-dimension and while that game failed, the lessons gained seem to have put Trine 4 on the right path. Everything I saw looked like exactly what I remember about the series, having wonderful visuals and inventive physics-based puzzles. Trine 4 might not be reinventing the wheel, but it also isn't arbitrarily changing it.
Trine 4 Returns The Classic Co-Op Series To Its 2.5D Roots (ScreenRant)
The latest entry in the treasured co-op series eschews the 3D gameplay of its immediate predecessor and returns to the original, side-scrolling puzzle-platforming action that made the series a household name in the first place! The Trine games are revered for their mix of co-op action, platforming, and physics-based puzzle solving, all wrapped in a humorous story with entertaining characters.
