Itsuno just lately spoke to the Japanese gaming outlet 4Gamer about Dragon’s Dogma 2 and the design ideas that went into the sequel. In the course of the dialog, 4Gamer requested Itsuno in regards to the “sensible” meat you may grill up whereas tenting within the recreation, with the interviewer commenting, “simply it made me hungry.” Nicely, Itsuno revealed, there’s a very good motive for that.”We might have used CG to depict the meat,” he stated, “however we determined to spend the cash on shopping for good meat as a substitute. That’s the way it got here to its present kind. Every kind of meat obtained within the recreation has totally different visuals when grilled.”

The above video comes from a September 2023 preview and options footage from TheGamer’s hands-on time with Dragon’s Dogma 2. At across the 3:30 mark, the participant grills a reduce of meat and the digicam lovingly pans over a weirdly real-looking bone-in steak scorching in what seems to be like a cast-iron skillet. I imply, these “graphics” are beautiful! Like, I’d actually need the GameScent for this half simply so I can scent the aromas of meat getting charred atop an open flame. Nicely, the “graphics” are beautiful right here as a result of that’s an actual piece of steak actually getting grilled on an actual fireplace. And now, I need steak for dinner.
