Major Changes Ahead
NHL 06 was incredibly successful. It was a fun game to work on and a fun game to play. As a matter of fact, we may have made it too fun…at the expense of authenticity. Authenticity has been the key word during the design and implementation of NHL 07 Next Gen. This applies to every area of the game, but most importantly gameplay.
There were many restraints that we faced over the last few years. Most of the code and animation system had been the same for many years. Instead of starting new, we mostly built on top of those systems. This year, we started fresh…new code and a new animation system. This has removed many of the restraints. Without giving too much away yet, let’s just say that the goalie in our game right now moves and saves EXACTLY like NHL goalie we had do the mocap.
