Underworld Ascendant: First Glimpse of Gameplay at PC Gamer
The most recent episode of The PC Gamer Show — PC Gamer’s weekly podcast — featured Paul Neurath and Joe Fielder of OtherSide Entertainment. They actually covered a few different topics over the course of the podcast, which runs for more than an hour:
This week we’re be joined by legendary game designer Paul Neurath, one of the founders of Looking Glass Studios and a creative mind behind Ultima Underworld, Thief (the original), System Shock 2, and many more classic RPGs. We were also joined by Joe Fielder, Design Director at Neurath’s current studio, OtherSide Entertainment.

The topics:
- What makes a great stealth game?
- The recently announced Far Cry Primal.
- The rampant cRPG revival we’ve seen lately.
- Undertale and its incredible Metacritic ranking.
- Viewer questions from Twitch chat.
- Audio problems galore.
The highlight of the YouTube stream, however, is the Underworld Ascendant gameplay footage that begins almost eighty minutes into the thing. While it’s obvious that the game is still in a very early state, it’s nice to actually see something playable; the last few Stygian Sentinel updates haven’t really shown us anything of the sort.
