Expression Games has introduced a new level of realism in Hell Let Loose by setting its latest expansion in Vietnam. The addition aims to replicate the challenges faced by soldiers navigating dense jungle foliage.
Authentic Foliage Dynamics
In Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, Expression Games addresses the challenge of visibility in dense Vietnamese jungles. The foliage is designed to react sensitively to player movement, rustling trees and bushes upon contact to alert players of nearby threats. This feature encourages players to move cautiously through the environment.
Enhanced Audio Experience
The game also introduces an authentic ambient experience, with the development team enlisting a foliage artist and an audio engineer to recreate historically accurate jungle sounds. According to creative director Matt White, elements such as 'the sound of the bugs' contribute to this immersive experience.
Expression Games' focus on realism is expected to offer players a unique combat experience, potentially distinguishing the Vietnam setting from the game's original World War II backdrop.
