14.99 €
Stealth games focus on stealth and tactical planning. The player must remain undetected, use the environment for camouflage, avoid detection, or eliminate opponents without drawing attention to themselves. Stealth games often feature not only engaging gameplay, but also deep stories and developed characters.
This book, based on more than a dozen first-hand interviews, covers the major games that defined the stealth genre: Metal Gear Solid, Thief, Deus Ex, Dishonored, Assassin’s Creed, Hitman, Splinter Cell, Prey, The Last of Us Part II, and more. You’ll hear from insiders about development challenges, internal conflicts, changes in direction, and the motivations and goals behind specific decisions and mechanics.
You’ll learn:
- How Thief laid the foundation for most stealth games;
- What were the challenges of localizing Metal Gear Solid;
- Why Hitman's Agent 47 is inspired by Coca-Cola;
- How the creator of Assassin's Creed sees the future of the series.
The book traces the history of stealth games and connects the dots of this history through the personal stories of the people who witnessed their development and formation.
