Q. What is the biggest difference between GunZ 1 & GunZ 2?
A. The noticeable feature of GunZ 2 is the adaptation of Full Physics Game Engine. There are many games which use Physics Engine, but it is mostly used for visual effects or it is used under limited circumstance for multiplay. But, GunZ 2 synchronizes all Physics simulation on the network, and this exclusive technology realizes the users to experience and perform such creative gameplay in GunZ 2 which is completely different from GunZ 1. Unfortunately, the trailer doesn’t fully display this feature but as the development progresses and through the release of new information you will see and feel it greatly.

Q. Will there be any other class than the 3 classes presented for the official release?
A. No, because developing additional class is a huge job. Sometimes we heard about adding a healing class rumor, but this was never an issue even from the beginning. For the official service, total of 3 classes will be launched, and these include female assassin, male fighter, and female heavy characters which weren’t shown on the trailer.

Q. Does character customizing possible?
A. Of course. We just didn’t apply the equipment change part for GSTAR because of the limited time for the show. We already prepared enough costumes to present for the official version, and you will see it as more information about GunZ 2 reveals.

Q. Enforcement of PvE mode?
A. Yes. We consider PvE mode in GunZ 1 as just a foretaste. We were determined to make attractive and enjoyable PvE mode so user can also have fun just by playing PvE mode. However, PvE mode is not enough to experience everything about GunZ 2. Our ultimate goal is to provide more experimental features in PvE to bring a brand new gaming experience for players.

Q. Will there be the technique called kStyle at GunZ 2?
A. kStyle from GunZ 1 will not be included in GunZ 2. We acknowledge that kStyle would have enhanced the popularity of GunZ 1 but it is also true that it holds many derivative problems. And also we doubt for the necessity to keep kStyle since GunZ 2 will have totally new tactics and controls. Just considering what we have planned for GunZ 2 so far, we believe that there is enough content to exceed GunZ 1 and provide a lot of enjoyable features. So there is no need to be disappointed about kStyle.

Q. When will GunZ 2 be officially released?
A. We are currently working on the contents and elaborating more on Full Physics Game Engine. It is hard to tell definite timing for release but it is our goal to release early next year in Korea.

Q. Please tell about international language service plan.
A. So far, only the release of Taiwan, Macao, and Hong Kong during the third or fourth quarter of 2012 is confirmed. Since GunZ 2 is receiving lots of attentions from many game publishers of different territories, we hope to be able to release regarding additional officially servicing territory by early next year.

Q. Do you have any plan to lead the international service by development studio such as GunZ 1?
A. Not at all. Actually it is difficult to say that it won’t happen in the future, but for now we can’t prepare for such service plan or the operating team. We think that we have accumulated good experience while leading an international service for GunZ 1, but it is out of our capacity to operate an international service in our own at this moment.

Q: When did you start development of GunZ 2?
A: We started back in 2007.

Q: It’s a sequel, but it looks very different from the previous one.
A: We’ve rewritten the whole story of the GunZ universe.

Q: Please introduce the three playable classes.
A: The Assassin class is focused on close combat & sniping. Fighter class is a “jack-of-all-trades” type and will be useful in multiple situations. The Heavy class is primarily designed as a tanker for PvE mode, but can use wide area attacks for massive kills.

Q: We noticed that each class was able to use up to five different weapons. Will this be possible in the released version?
A: No. First off, we will create six weapon types for each class and you will only be able to choose three weapons in combat.

Q: Will shotguns be available for all classes?
A: Yes, because players loved using shotguns a lot in GunZ 1, and in GunZ 2, the shotgun will be very useful because it can break normal defense with melee weapons.

Q: We noticed that Assassin and Fighter classes can use a Blade/Dagger & Pistol combo. Is there any special usage for them?
A: You can perform melee attacks with the left mouse button and fire your ranged weapon with the right mouse button. Damage output with this combo isn’t very good, but allows you to be more versatile in combat.

Q: What’s the difference between normal defense with melee weapons & special defense with riot shields?
A: You can defend the whole body using a riot shield. Also, other enemies cannot break its defense using shotguns and it’s immune to uppercut attacks.

Q: We noticed that special skills can be performed with melee weapons.
A: Whenever you attack enemies, take damage or collect special canisters around the map, you will gain some ZP (Z-Point). If the ZP gauge is maxed out, you can use it to perform special skills. At G-Star 2011, they were only available for melee weapons. We’ll be adding more interesting special skills for each weapon.

Q: The gameplay looks a lot easier than before.
A: Yes, the control system is a lot easier now. Just by pressing the spacebar will allow you to perform many actions, and you don’t need to press keys in repetition with other actions anymore.

Q: Will GunZ 2 support character customization?
A: Yes, it will.

Q: Will GunZ 2 support weapon customization?
A: We’re not sure. We’re currently testing this out.

Q: Will items be restricted by the player’s level?
A: Yes.

Q: How will you solve the issue of item balancing, then?
A: For GunZ 1, it was really hard for players to find proper opponents with a similar skill level, but in GunZ 2, you won’t have to spend time switching servers and channels to find players on your skill level, as we’ll be introducing a very powerful matchmaking system.

Q: Which game modes will be supported?
A: We’re currently developing & testing many different game modes, so we cannot comment on this at the moment.

Q: How important will PvE be in GunZ 2?
A: With the new features, 30% of the game will be focused on PvE mode.

Q: What kind of features will be available in PvE?
A: Players will experience many things related to physics like falling builing, portals and riding mounts.

Q: What’s the reward of playing PvE?
A: You will be able to gather specials fragments from PvE to create weapons and items. These created weapons and items will have special stats to them.

Q: Please explain more about RealSpace 3.
A: It uses deferred lighting technologies, allowing us to create a highly dynamic gaming environment.

Q: How about K-Style?
A: We will NOT be implementing K-Style in the same fashion as GunZ 1. However, there will be a few ways to cancel moves.
