Romier S Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I'm suprised no ones posted this yet but it appears Rise of Kasai (sequel to the excellent Mark of Kri) is indeed coming and it will have online co-op multiplayer! http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/riseoft...ew_6097959.html Rise of the Kasai will support online cooperative multiplayer, with the added flexibility of being able to do so at any time. For example, you?ll be able to play through the first three levels of the game, hop online to play through the fourth, and then switch back to single-player mode for the remainder, depending on your preference. The multiplayer mode will also support the use of a headset. What we were able to see of the game included a couple of different environments: a port with ships moving to and fro, and a temple-like complex, both areas manned by Kasai forces. The graphics looked to be coming along well, retaining the unique art style (and the brutal finishing animations) of the original game. Rise of the Kasai is set to cover both the events that followed The Mark of Kri, as well as some of the events that preceded that game, making Rise of Kasai both a sequel as well as a prequel of sorts. Roughly one-third of the game will occur in the past, and these areas will employ a different visual style than areas set in the future. Rise of the Kasai certainly looks like it could shape up quite nicely for Bottlerocket?s first standalone effort. The game is currently scheduled for release on the PlayStation 2 in the first quarter of 2005.

Romier S Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 You should all be flogged for showing no interest in this game. I will now go and plant bombs in each of your homes. :wtf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 You got to be kidding Romier, consider this one bought! Mark of Kri might be the best unknown game of this gen, makes you wish Disney would take a crack at Conan :lmfao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I'm all over this, although I wonder if the online / multiplayer element will take away from the relative "quiet" nature of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 It looks like Bottle Rocket, the team formed by the core group who made Kasia & Kri, have gone kaput. Bit of a shame :-( They were working on the Splatterhouse game for Namco & an IP for Brash, which is likely the cause. In some fine timing, Namco just released a new trailer today.

kelley Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I wonder what will now happen with the IP and code. Sad to see so many devs going under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Talk about a thread returning from the dead, I have kids that weren't born when this was last posted A shame though, Mark of Kri was an excellent game. Hopefully the team can all find a new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I wonder what will now happen with the IP and code. Sad to see so many devs going under. Namco's transferred the project to Surge, their new internal development studio in SoCal; they just finished Afro Samurai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
