Another recording of the Crimson Dragon live stream is available on Twitch.tv. This time they featured a new build of the game, and graphically there seems to be a few improvements (the lighting in particular) to give the game a softer look.
I’ve managed to get a few questions answered this time around, although the recording doesn’t include the first five minutes of the demo. I first asked whether or not Crimson Dragon: Side Story was a prequel to Crimson Dragon. Chris’s answer didn’t quite answer when Side Story actually happened chronologically compared to the Xbox One game, and only mentioned that Side Story complemented the console version.
My second question (the first one in the recording on Twitch TV) was about the appearance of a White Reaver in what is apparently the very first boss fight of the game. The White Reaver was seemingly eaten by the White Phantom, although the dialogue with Sana afterwards seems to suggest the White Reaver might actually still be alive and the White Phantom actually protected the Reaver. In any case, I asked whether or not this was “the” White Reaver from Side Story. Chris confirmed that it was, although I’m not entirely clear if he understood that I was asking if it was Sana’s White Reaver. It might very well be “a” White Reaver.
I also asked if people that can only get the Xbox One in 2014 (due to the launch delay in several countries) can still get the bonus dragon (which you get when you buy the game before Dec. 31st 2013), which they couldn’t answer, but they thought it was a good question and mentioned that they’ll look into it. Surprisingly, when I asked if the bonus dragon was “a certain blue armored dragon”, Chris replied that it wasn’t. This leaves me wondering just what the bonus dragon will be, as it’s hinted to be from the Panzer Dragoon games.
