The free-to-play card game Prominence Poker comes on PS4 tomorrow, 23 August
To follow all the details:
What is the history of Prominence Poker?
Prominence Poker is set in the town of Prominence, a utopian reality founded on gambling from people of ill repute. Players will begin their journey armed only with the own face inscrutable and meet four subtle factions, starting, at the launch of the game, from the hearts and Spades.
In order to assert how poker players and be able to beat all the factions, you must know how to interpret the behavior of opponents in order to defeat the leader of the faction. After asserting its reputation and win a decent sum, good players will face in an epic final challenge "the Mayor", the mysterious founder of Prominence.
What is unique about Prominence Poker?
For starters, before you even set foot in Prominence, players must create their character. Yes, that's right, Prominence Poker has an extensive system of creating 3D characters to give life to your alter-ego at the green table with infinite combinations of facial features, hair, and clothes! With the money you earn by playing, you can also buy other accessories and customization options.
Prominence Poker also offers the opportunity to experience an authentic poker game play, easy to learn but difficult to master. Pipeworks already has extensive experience in poker games, but with the help of Max Pescatori, four-time winner of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet, Prominence Poker offers players a truly authentic poker experience.
Max helped us refine the game, offering us especially his advice about AI so that it can better represent styles and adapt to various rulesets poker players. She helped make the game faster, rising from nine Texas Hold'em players to six, so each player does not have to wait too long for their turn.
Another important feature we added is the "Bluff and Tell" that advanced players can use to interpret the behaviour of their opponents, guess the cards you have in your hand and decide his own strategy. A neat trick!
What are the sources of inspiration of Prominence Poker?
We are big fans of movies like Casino, the player – Rounders and the series of Ocean's (Eleven and others), then you may notice a bit of nervousness and intensity that recall the various environments of those movies. We are very attached even with Snatch-ripping, which inspired us to design our boss.
Another gem that we like to highlight is the look and feel of the Renegade Biker Bar, inspired by a couple of dives which are located in Eugene, Oregon.
We continue to draw inspiration from what surrounds us and our personal experiences that offer us ideas to add interesting details to the game. Stay tuned for new content and updates.
Prominence Poker will be available for download as free-to-play for PlayStation 4 tomorrow , on 23 August . We look forward to Prominence for a match!
