The Game Director's Take on Kat and Emmett

Loading

What's coming? Well...The video's the real bread and butter, but the short version is that Kat's super-accessible to anyone picking up the sticks, and Emmett's going to take some time to master. Whereas Kat can just wail on foes, slide along the ground, and even hurl objects from her gravity field, Emmett is all about finesse. To be good with Graves, you need to know what items you're calling from the sky, what weapons to fire from a distance, and so on.Our time with Kat and Emmett was truly limited, so why not listen PlayStation All-Stars director Omar Kendall give you the full 411 on just what makes these two characters special?
