Raven Software developing Wolfenstein-based game under wraps

From the fame of Star Wars: Jedi Knight series, Quake 4, and several other titles: Raven Software is developing a new game under the wraps based on Wolfenstein, reports WISC-TV.

Raven designers claim that they’re using new motion-capture technology found in Marvel Ultimate Alliance, which they said to be an invaluable asset. While they won’t name the title or give more details, Raven did reveal that actress Carrie Coon will be the star.

To create a virtual character out of the actress, Coon wears a spandex suit with 63 reflective markers while 24 infrared cameras capture her movements. “You recognize yourself in it a little bit, but then, there’s this fantasy element that’s so fascinating,” she said while discussing about her digital counterpart that would have different skins and costumes. To make her digital avatar complete, Raven will use a state-of-the-art face scanner and transform Coon to an elite assassin in-game.

Coon had previous experience with Madison Repertory Theater and American Players Theater before she got chosen to be Raven’s new babe. She testifies:

“They had me kind of bust through doors with big guns and pretend I was an assassin being that didn’t have a spine and club a body of something on the ground and sniff it. You know, it was one of the most bizarre audition experiences I’ve ever had in my life.”

That’s all we could gather for now, Raven Software is really touchy about the details. Can’t blame them, the video game scene is a tough competition and you wouldn’t want your secrets out. We’ll make sure to cover any new info that Raven will reveal, so keep your eyes peeled.
