IGN Xbox has put together a
preview of Jade Empire, based upon some new areas they were able to see in the game at the European Games Network in London. Check it out:
Wrapping up the tour was a new spot that Ray called "a secret area that I shouldn't even be showing you." I like the sound of that. He wouldn't tell us any of the background of the area so as to not give away any hints or clues as to its origin. He ran through what looked to be a pretty normal looking valley toward a village, but when he rounded the corner, everything in the distance appeared to be glowing. As he got closer to the village, we saw why. Everything was on fire -- trees, gates, houses -- pretty much everything that could burn was burning. Ray proceeded to run right through the middle of the conflagration and got to the middle of the village. When he looked around, it was truly an impressive sight. Fire lit every part of the screen, and stretched far into the distance, with tiny particles of crackling embers wafting in the breeze. Even though the smoke was thick, you could still see the mountains far in the distance through the plumes. It was all very impressive, and we look forward to learning exactly what the inferno is all about.
