Superbrothers and Pine Scented Software have released a new gameplay trailer and screenshots for JETT: The Far Shore.
“We aspired to create a videogame to express our own feelings of awe when we look up at the starry sky,” said Superbrothers creative director Craig D. Adams in the trailer. “JETT‘s premise involves exploration and discovery, however our design doesn’t rely on combat or resource extraction, and the characters go to some lengths to tread lightly, giving indigenous wildlife a wide berth, striving to adapt and avoid conflict.”
Over at PlayStation Blog, designer and producer Randy Smith discussed how the game utilizes the PlayStation 5‘s DualSense wireless controller.
Smith said, “In JETT, we’ve used the controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to immerse you in the vast world of the far shore and in the pilot’s seat of your jett: the nuance of walking on foot over different types of terrain, the feel of your jett as it pounces through aerobatic maneuvers, the pull of the trigger as you lay on the surge, and of course crucial gameplay feedback like the buzz of your scramjets starting to destabilize when you push them to their limits.”
