It was also released for the PC the same year. StoryThere has been a breakout of radiation sickness on Space Station Icarus, and Garritt Sherova has been sent to investigate. After arriving at the station, it becomes apparent that radiation is only one of many problems; the captain is dead and a power struggle has ensued. To make matters worse, Icarus is on a collision course with the Sun and nobody is able to correct the station's course. Sentient takes place in real-time. The player's actions in the early part of the game determine which path they will travel through later on. Which members of the crew are spoken to and what they are told plays a strong part in the plot's development. The player's performance through the game determines which of the nine endings they receive.[1]DevelopmentThe game was developed by Psygnosis' external Chester Studio and Pompeii Studios[2] over 1995-1997.[3] The characters in the game were based on facial scans of staff at the studio.{{cn|date=January 2017}} The Windows version supports 3D acceleration, but only using the Matrox Mystique and the Creative Labs 3D Blaster. Early in the game's development, Mitch Gitelman of Pompeii Studios stated, "The organic transmission of information was one of our primary design goals, along with logical, nonlinear plot developments. Gossip and information transmission between computer-controlled characters takes the multilayered scenarios down many different avenues. It is our hope that this human interaction system will allow for maximum replayability without compromising the many stories in the game."[2] Reception{{VG reviews| EGM = 7.375/10 (PS1)[4] | GSpot = 7.5/10 (PS1)[5] 5.1/10 (WIN)[6] | NGen = {{rating|3|5}} (PS1)[7] | rev2 = }} At the time of release, the PlayStation version of the game was praised for its ambitious and intricate gameplay[4][5][7][13] and its replay value,[4][5][7][13] but criticised for its sloppy graphics, particularly the odd-looking character faces.[4][5][7][13] Most critics expressed astonishment that the conversation system produces dialogue which is not only fairly complex, but generally sounds natural and realistic.[4][5][7][13] Overall assessments were mostly positive. GameSpot likened Sentient to classic text adventures.[5] Bonehead wrote in GamePro that "the intricacy and suspense make the brainwork rewarding (and replayable, too, with six endings)."[8] Shawn Smith of Electronic Gaming Monthly commented, "Sentient gets some major points for originality. I've never played a game with so many different possibilities." Dan Hsu and Crispin Boyer felt that the pace was too slow and would be unappealing to many gamers, while Sushi-X shared Smith's more positive assessment.[4] A Next Generation reviewer concluded, "Ultimately, Sentient succeeds at what it set out to do, which was to forge some new territory in graphic adventures."[7] Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "All in all, the execution makes the whole thing a complete waste of time. It's big, it's ugly, and it's as frustrating as hell to work with. In other words, it's about as entertaining as getting Chris Farley to dance a ballet. Unless you have enough patience to wear down granite, don't bother with this one."[9]References1. ^{{cite web|url= http://uk.gamespot.com/ps/adventure/sentient/review.html| title = Sentient Review| author = Robertson, Ed| publisher = GameSpot| date = 1997-04-17| accessdate = 2008-07-01}} 2. ^1 {{cite magazine|last= |first= |title=Letters|magazine=Next Generation|issue=14 |publisher=Imagine Media |date=February 1996|page=192}} 3. ^{{cite magazine|last= |first= |title=Sentient|magazine=Electronic Gaming Monthly|issue=74|publisher=Sendai Publishing|date=September 1995|page=84}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite magazine|title=Review Crew: Sentient |magazine=Electronic Gaming Monthly|issue=93|publisher=Ziff Davis|date=April 1997|page=56}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|title=Sentient Review |url=https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/sentient-review/1900-2549235/|website=GameSpot |accessdate=4 March 2018|date=April 17, 1997}} 6. ^{{cite web |first=Stephen|last=Poole|title=Sentient Review |url=https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/sentient-review/1900-2532946/ |website=GameSpot|accessdate=4 March 2018|date=May 20, 1997}} 7. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite magazine |title=Sentient|magazine=Next Generation|issue=30|publisher=Imagine Media |date=June 1997|pages=118, 120}} 8. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite magazine|title=PlayStation ProReview: Sentient|magazine=GamePro|issue=104 |publisher=IDG|date=May 1997|page=86}} 9. ^{{cite magazine|last=|first=|title=Finals|magazine=Next Generation|issue=33|publisher=Imagine Media|date=September 1997|page=143}} }}{{DEFAULTSORT:Sentient (Video Game)}} 7 : 1997 video games|Action-adventure games|DOS games|PlayStation (console) games|Psygnosis games|Windows games|Video games developed in the United Kingdom |
