Rollerdrome <\/em>is set to drop into the rink soon. Today, Roll7 and Private Division showed off the level design of this new blend of skating and shooting.<\/p> Initially revealed during Sony’s State of Play in June,\u00a0Rollerdrome\u00a0<\/em>is a retro-futuristic game that mixes combat arenas and shooting with roller skates and sick tricks. As the player drops into arenas with both guns and skates on-hand, they’ll need to navigate around and take out enemies in increasingly creative ways.<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p> In the video<\/a>, Roll7’s studio creative director John Ribbins and Rollerdrome\u00a0<\/em>senior 3D level designer Jacob Mills discuss how this is a bit of a departure. Roll7 is known for its\u00a0OlliOlli\u00a0<\/em>games, including this year’s excellent\u00a0OlliOlli World<\/em><\/a>.<\/p> Those games are linear. They involve moving down a track, hitting tricks along the way. But\u00a0Rollerdrome\u00a0<\/em>is a bit different.<\/p> Combat arenas in\u00a0Rollerdrome\u00a0<\/em>are open and free to pick apart at the player’s discretion. So the team had to create a bit of flow to the arenas, teaching ideas along the way. They bring up evolving objectives, like going from eliminating an enemy to eliminating one while wallriding, as a way to do this.<\/p> It’s a sick concept, and one I’m excited to see from Roll7.\u00a0OlliOlli World\u00a0<\/em>seemed like the team really hitting a new stride with its skateboarding, but\u00a0Rollerdrome\u00a0<\/em>is the team moving into both a 3D space and adding some combat too.<\/p> The visual throwback game will also get a special introductory price. On Steam and for PlayStation Plus members,\u00a0Rollerdrome\u00a0<\/em>will have a price offer of $19.79. Then, after the offer’s over, the game will bump up to $29.99 on Steam and the PlayStation Store.\u00a0Rollerdrome\u00a0<\/em>will also be included in the PlayStation Plus Premium game trials<\/a> at launch.<\/p> Rollerdrome\u00a0<\/em>rolls out for PC, PlayStation 4, and Ps5 on August 16.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":808,"featured_media":334498,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[19112,19364,19114,19116,19870,21507,520,19140],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":808,"display_name":"Eric Van Allen","user_login":"EricVanAllen","user_nicename":"ericvanallen"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nXtreme combat<\/h2>
