Informatie |
In Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon (het vorige en derde deel uit de Broken Sword serie) werden de Amerikaanse patent advocaat George Stobbert en de Franse mooie journalist Nico Collard door een geheime genootschap, een grote kwaad en andere linke gespuis op pad gezet om door de jungles van Congo, kastelen in Praag, achterwijken van Parijs, een bezoek aan de historische stad Glastonbury in Engeland en tombes bezocht in Egypte om een mysterie op te lossen om zo de mensheid van het kwaad te redden. Broken Sword games zijn een prachtige mix van sensatie en avontuur met een vleugje humor.

Het verhaal |
| Broken Sword: The Angel of Death begint in New York. George wordt verliefd op een mysterieuze vrouw die verdwijnt en hem naar een oeroude verhaal brengt die de wereld in gevaar kan brengen. Biblical scholars have long agreed that Moses was more than just a poor shepherd's boy. It is said that he was a natural scholar and that from an early age he devoted himself to unravelling the mysterious arts of alchemy. Indeed, he read documents that even in those times were already very ancient - the scant remains of older, extint civilisations. Amongst these documents, it is believed; lay the primitive blueprints for an awesome weapon... Moses was able to construct this weapon. And when the Pharaoh refused passage for the Israelites out of Egypt, he unleashed it upon the Egyptians with terrifying effect. The Pharaoh capitulaed. The Exodus began. The weapon was the final and most terrible of the Great Plagues. Uncannily, it seemd to be able to kill selectively, leaving the Israelites unharmed. The Egyptians called it - 'The Angel of Death'. Hundreds of years later, the secrets of Moses deadly weapon that could destroy to order was lost, although the memory lived on. Lost. Or so it was thought New York - present day. One-time adventurer George Stobbart sweats at a cramped desk in a bail-bond agency deep inside Harlem's derelict projects. He has had an arduous year since his dimatic battle with a 'dragon' after he was whisked away by secret service agencies and intensively interrogated. Eventually they declared 'The Glastonbury Phenomenon' to be just another case of mass hysteria. George returned home, wanting only to work on patents till the day he died. But his company had gone bust. And soon he found no one would hire him. He was blacklisted. In desperation, he took the only job on offer - legal aide at Big Bros's Bail Bonds. The bottom of the heap. His new clients - crack-heads, gangstas, murders. His new life - a tiny apartment in the most dangerous part of town. One day I'm going to get out of here, he thinks, as he stares at his queue of tattoed, menacing, bling-bling clients... Same hope. Characters  George StobbartA year has passed since George's battle with the dragon at Glastonbury. Intensively interrogated by the CIA, he was eventually released. They claimed that this was because they didn't believe 'The Glastonbury Phenomenon'. The truth was that some believed that George had fought with the devil himself, but ultimately they wanted to avoid any controversy that the story would kick up. Left with his reputation in tatters, George found that no one would hire him. In desperation he took the only legal job on offer - legal aid at the Big Bro's Bail Bond company.  NicoLike George, Nico has been blacklisted from most jobs in journalism since Glastonbury. She's been spending her time singing in a series of seedy Paris clubs...  Anna-Maria PrisaBlonde, beautifull, sophisticated, her name is Anna-Maria Prisa. She's on the trail of a hidden treasure, whose location is encrypted within the lines of an ancient manuscript that's been in her family for generations.  VirgilTough ex-marine who is the Go-Getter of the bail bond Agency. He can track, hunt, arrest or kill anybody, anywhere. George met Virgil when George helped him out of a really bad situation once... An ex-con, he got a computer engineering degree and is now the Agency's hacker. He can get into any network, anywhere.  MevlutMevlut is a master of disguise but is always charming. Laconic, ironic, highly intelligent. In reality he's a highly dangerous piece of work... Mevlut has long been interested in the conspiracies since watching Raiders of the Lost Ark in a cinema in Istanbul as a young man.  MafiaMeet the New York Mafia. An oddball set characters hot on the trail of a secret manuscript... Fingers Martin - Fingers, so called because of the lack of fingers on his right hand, always wears gloves. Tony Martino, a bright, ambitious gangster. Smart, goodlooking, he's the first guy from the Martino family with a degree in business studies. Surrounded by idiots you'd think he'd make a big impression. You'd think? Slick Carnevale. Flash suit, flash shoes, flash shirt and well... slick hair, a die-hard Elvis fan, is forever 18 and 'picking up chicks, man'. Chico Garella. Chico's been a gangster for nearly fifty years, but he's still a foot soldier. He's just not smart enough to get promoted.  Religious orderNog onbekend. |

Interview met Charles Cecil (bedenker van Broken Sword) |
It's both point & click and direct control. How does that work? You can choose one or the other? Yes, you can play purely point & click, or you can choose to use both the mouse and the keyboard. So you make sure that if the puzzle's in there, it has something to do with the story, and moves you forward? Absolutely, and also, like on the plane, the box puzzle was not to block you, it was to balance the plane. In the cave, it wasn't a block, it was there to put pressure on the pressure pad so you could move to jump and step on something. So where we use those sorts of puzzles, they'll be used in conjunction with other puzzles. It sounds like an intriguing story. I've really focused on the story. With Broken Sword 3, it was a big jump. We were going from 2D to 3D. We were talking about technology, we were talking about interfaces. With Broken Sword 4 there's a lot I can take for granted, because we have the engine, we have a control system, which we're improving, but other people are responsible for the technology, other people are responsible for creating the art assets. I approve them, and I get very involved in them, but I don't have to worry about whether we use Maya or Max, or whether we have to buy new PCs, or any of that dull stuff. So I can focus on the puzzles and the story, and the guys that I'm working with on that are experienced on our games. I'm working with a guy called Neil Richards, who I worked with on Broken Sword 3. The two guys that are level designers / implementers, both were ex-Revolution. The guy writing the music, he wrote music for Broken Sword 3. A lot of the team are still together, it's just in a very different way than the way we were for Broken Sword 3. |
