Status : Online | Since some of the comments in the press release made our readers worried about the possibility of FF3 turning into an action/adventure the information we received by Revistronic was focused on that prospect. It appears that the developers opt for a more 'mature' look for their characters, the dialogues will be more vulgar and there will be more violent scenes in the game. They claim however that this new part won't be an action/adventure although it will focus more on violence and sarcasm than naivity and simplicity. There will be more gunfights, however, the gunfights won't require reflexes or action skills. The players will just have to use fire arms in a traditional adventure way.
To give an example, if an outlaw is shooting at you behind a tree all you will have to do is to 'use' the revolver on the outlaw, and the game will take care of the rest. No targets, no health bars, no single mini-game that requires action skills and reflexes. The shootings will just be challenges that will be solved like any other traditional adventure challenge/puzzle. The developers also emphasized that this time around it won't be necessary to feed your horse with carrots or to collect money.
Excellent news. Looks like they took the criticisms of 'The Westerner' to heart after all.

yes, looks like it... and it's smth that doesn't happen too often... : sshots look good too, so we might end up with a pretty good adventure after all! come think of it, there is no "serious" western adventure out there, is there? maybe gold rush is "serious", but it doesn't involve all the western cliches... maybe ff3 will turn out as a one of a kind adventure!
You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

Status : Online | I don't know... I'm still suspicious. You will still have plenty of shooting which means either timed and/or stealth sequences. It's better than arcade sequences at least...
But what's with the new character design?
They should have used different characters. The discworld series had a similar change in atmosphere, but they used different characters after changing style.
We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

Status : Online | The reason for the style change is probably to alert the consumer that it isn't some kids game. The last one screamed Toy Story and probably hurt sales overall.

Orange_Brat, you just made me realize that Fenimore does look a bit like Woody in Toy Story.

I'd say it was completely intentional.
...not to be confused with Keira Knightley

I also played Three skulls of the toltecs, I think it was better than the Westerner (wanted), there was no money and that stuff... (at least i think so, i played it about 10 years ago )

There's a saved game on the net to get you past that one.
(I couldn't get past it either. I could get 30 bad guys on some of the earlier levels, but not on the 4th level. And it just got too tedious.)
