Secret Files 2 was presented at the Game Convention 2007 in Leipzig, Germany last week.
This is some information I got on Secret Files 2 from a developer of the game.
- There will be a playable intro; the playable intro has its own playable character
- Secret Files 2 has a new story, but Nina and Max will be the main characters again; one does not need to have played the Secret Files 1
- Secret Files 2 takes place 2 years after Secret Files 1.
- Shader technology will be used for Normal Mapping; the feature is optional
- Max and Nina will begin playing in a different location. Nina will start her on a Cruise Ship which is leaving from Hamburg, Germany. Later she will get to northern France and later to Paris. Max starts playing in the Indonesian jungle. So Nina and Max seem to have different story lines at first glance, but of course the story lines are interconnected.
- The game now supports *all* screen resolutions greater or equal than 1024x768. Also widescreen is now supported!
- Tooltips are now glued to the mouse cursor instead of having a separate tooltip region like in SF1.
- There is now a Zoom feature. For example when starting a dialog the camera zooms in on the characters having a dialog.
Here you can download a video from a public presentation. It’s in German, but from time to time you can see in game content (mostly the playable intro). Click on “show downloads” for “Geheimakte 2” http://live.deepsilver.com/2007/deep-silver-tv but be patient because there is many downloads on this link and the site only aloud 200 at the time.
