Her opdaterer vi tirsdag + hele ugen
ud med
det bedste fra alle verdener ved E3, verdens største spilmesse!!! Screenshots
og downloads bliver også opdateret hele tiden, ofte helt uafhængigt af nyhederne...
Check ofte for nyt!
E3 er
færdigt
Lørdag
kl. 17:05
Det er som om at
alle spiludviklerne brugte showets første dage (onsdag og torsdag)
til at sige alt hvad de ville, så der er ikke mange flere nyheder
at poste fra E3 i år, som man måske også kan se på gårsdagens
(manglende) nyhedsflow. Vi har dog lagt et par download-links
mere op, samt nogle nye screenshots. Generelt kan man sige,
at årets show bød på bunkevis af efterfølgere, samt offentliggørelser
af endnu flere MMORPG'er, så der er nok til at oversvømme
markedet totalt i løbet af de næste år. RSC og SC siger tak
for opmærksomheden, og vi håber at vi har leveret det man gerne
ville læse om, se på osv.
Der vil i de kommende
uger nok komme masser af artikler fra rundt omkring på nettet,
så hold øje med RSCs
og SCs respektive hovedsider
for de nyeste scoops.
Gamespot har scoopet
fra Jowoods helt nye spil der er offentliggjort ved E3. Titlen
er "Spellforce", og det er måske det mest ægter RPS
(Role-Playing Strategy) spil på vej til PC. Her er et uddrag
af Gamespots første kig på spillet:
The game begins in a fairly traditional real-time strategy style. Players
must build a town to use as a base, but to do that they must first summon
workers from a magical monument and set them to work gathering resources and
building structures. In addition to the main character and the worker units, the
game includes hero units, which can be summoned from a different magical
monument, and military units. These units can be given various orders, including
following the main character and attacking enemies. The hero units' artificial
intelligence lets them work fairly autonomously, although their spells must be
directed by the player. Some basic units will have the ability to cast a single
spell, such as heal, and will cast those spells on their own whenever necessary.
After killing some aggressive wolves with the help of a few hero units,
Wertich took us to battle a small group of dark elves and show off the game's
spell system. Rather than selecting the casting unit, then selecting the spell,
then selecting the target, Spellforce will let you select the desired target
first and will then highlight all the possible spells to be cast from all the
friendly units in the area. This system lets the player quickly use multiple
magic users in the heat of battle. After a couple nice-looking fireballs, a
hypnotism spell, and an electrical shock attack, the dark elves were defeated,
the last one collapsing to the ground while still on fire.
Den officielle side
for det (efter sigende) revolutionerende strategispil, C&C:
Generals er nu online, og klar til at blive studeret. Husk at
SC har screenshots
fra spillet.
Warner Bros, Monolith Productions, and EON Entertainment
have announced that they are producing a massively multiplayer online game based
on the blockbuster sci-fi film The Matrix and the film's upcoming
sequels. The game will be a re-creation of the virtual world featured in the
movie, and it will support tens of thousands of players in the same environment.
It will combine elements of action adventure and character building in a
persistent online world.
The game is being designed by Monolith, the studio that created No One Lives
Forever and the Aliens Versus Predator action games, and EON Entertainment--a
collaboration between Joel Silver, the films' producer, and Larry and Andy
Wachowski, the films' creators. The game will be built on LithTech's Discovery
system, an all-new game engine and set of tools specifically designed for
massively multiplayer games.
"We know fans of the franchise are extremely dedicated and loyal and we
intend to do everything we can to remain true to The Matrix, while
providing them with the ultimate online gaming experience," said Jason Hall, CEO
of Monolith.
At
genskabe verdenen i The Matrix i et computerspil er én ting,
men at forsøge at få tusindvis af folk ind i denne mystiske
og meget personlige verden ligner en umulig opgave, og er
indtil videre et mysterie for RSC. Tiden vil vise hvad Warner
Brothers har i sinde.
Freedom
Force 2 på vej!
Torsdag
kl. 20:28
IGN
PC rapporterer at Freedom Force 2 stensikkert er på vej!
Her er hele artiklen, så I slipper for at skulle igennem deres
banner-helvede for at læse historien:
It's been public knowledge that after the assured success of the amazing
Freedom Force Irrational would set out to develop a sequel, one that
would take place in the next age of comics, with each subsequent sequel after
that following in the next decade. Thus, Freedom Force was the 60s,
FF2 will be the 70s, FF3 the 80s, and so on and so forth. Now,
thanks to the joys of random meetings at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, we
know a bit more.
A sequel is indeed being developed (currently only very preliminary work is
being done), but the intrepid developers at Irrational are a bit torn. The
stellar development house isn't big on rehashing the same product and slapping a
number two on it; in fact, all of its games are radically different. And herein
lies the problem...
Freedom Force is awesome. We know it, you know it, and they know it.
Freedom Force 2 could and perhaps should then logically be an extension
of the first game with technical improvements and fixes where necessary. But
like I said, Irrational likes to do things different.
That's when I learned that development on Freedom Force 2 could go
another way, one far more akin to X-Com. Imagine an entire city waiting
to be discovered. Imagine, if you will, an incredibly in-depth game with heavier
RPG elements. Oh my.
Regardless of the outcome, the general consensus here at IGN is that whatever
path Irrational ultimately goes down, it'll be we who benefit.
Gothic
2 og Deus Ex 2 websites
Torsdag
kl. 20:12
Der er dukket et
par nye officielle hjemmesider op, nemlig til Gothic 2 og Deus
Ex 2. DX2-sitet har en ganske interessant fact-liste.
Traditionen tro
har de mange spiludviklere masser af Booth Babes til at lokke
folk til. Standarden er dog ikke helt så god som de sidste par
år i denne skribents mening (Søren), hvor bl.a. Duke
Nukem babes henrykkede publikum.
HomeLAN har snuppet
en masse billeder af b-babes'ne (skønt der er nogle der kunne
komme på A-listen), og dem kan du se her.
Nye datoer
for Icewind Dale 2 og Neverwinter Nights
Torsdag
kl. 17:33
Icewind Dale 2 kommer
ikke d. 31 maj som lovet. Spillet bliver nu først udgivet
d. 21 juni. Hvorfor er der ingen der ved, men de fleste nyhedskilder
holder nu til denne dato der skulle være "lækket"
fra Black Isle eller Interplay.
På den lyse side
kommer Neverwinter Nights muligvis til butikkerne allerede d.
18 juni, men idet betaen først lige er startet, er dette nok
ikke helt sandsynligt. Man kan dog altid håbe, og Bioware selv
siger altså 18/6 nu så man ved aldrig.
Gamespot
og Gamespy går AMOK!
Torsdag
kl. 17:30
Både Gamespy og
Gamespot ligner de ultimative vindere i dysten om den bedste
E3-dækning, og vi har samlet links til ALLE de relevante artikler
der omhandler "first looks", "impressions"
eller andet hvor man ved at de rent faktisk har spillet spillene.
Check de imponerende lister fra de to gamesites:
Så skulle der være
nok læsning til de næste par timer :-) Husk at det kun er de
artikler hvos skribenterne har spillet produktet der er links
til. Begge sider har også masser af screenshots, filmklip m.m.
at byde på ud over dette, der endda kun omhandler strategi-
og rollespil.
Det er lidt sørgeligt
at se Boomtowns
udbud ved siden af dette, når man tænker på at der er hele 7
folk afsted fra redaktionen... Gamereactor
er heller ikke for godt med, og generelt er det lidt tyndt af
de danske sites.
Arx Fatalis
udsat!
Torsdag
kl. 17:20
Ja, desværre har
Jowood måtte meddele at Arx Fatalis ikke kommer ud i dag som
planlagt, og releasen er skubbet frem til 21 juni for hele Europa
og USA. Lidt sent at melde ud om sådan noget, men med E3, spilbar
demo og presse-focusen, har de måske haft svært ved at finpudse
spillet nok.
Mere
om Lionheart fra Black Isle
Torsdag
kl. 17:00
Gamespy har gravet
lidt i Lionheart, og her er et lille uddrag af deres "first
impressions":
The SPECIAL system serves as the basis for the development of your character, a
descendant of Richard the Lionheart. This system has no classes -- instead,
statistics, skills, perks and traits define your abilities. The skills have been
revised to match the setting and are divided into several groups: fighting,
thieving and three type of magic: divine (church), thought (scientific) and
tribal (nature). You control only one character that can be of either sex and
from one of four races: humans, feralkin, demokin and sylvant. The sylvants are
magically adept, good creatures (think elves), while demokin are demonic,
magical creatures. Feralkin have the spirits of beasts within them. Many items,
like armor and weapons will also be available to further customize your
character.
Lionheart features real-time combat and is "action-oriented."
You will need to resort to combat, for which there are three main approaches:
swordplay, archery and magic. You can also speak with non-player characters to
receive quests and information. By selecting from multiple-choice options, you
will work your way through the dialogue trees. Even though the game is based on
Fallout's RPG system, you won't be able to talk your way through the
whole game.

Vi har i øvrigt nu hele 27 screenshots fra spillet her
på RSC!
Commandos
3 Trailer!
Torsdag
kl. 16:52
Commandos 3 er ikke
engang offentliggjort, men ikke desto mindre er det blevet det
igennem en ny trailer-film for strategispillet! Traileren findes
i en stor og lille udgave (opløsnings-mæssigt), og kan findes
i boksen lige under vores E3-logo under "Dugfriske Downloads".
Myst
Online offentliggjort
Torsdag
kl. 16:27
Vi beklager den
sene start i dag (torsdag), men livet går nok videre, især nu
hvor Ubisoft har offentliggjort Myst Online! Der er ikke de
vilde features endnu, men det har noget at gøre med at Myst
serien har solgt over 11 millioner eksemplarer, og nu
vil man gerne malke lidt penge fra de mange fans :-) Her er
pressemeddelelsen:
The Myst franchise has sold more than 11 million copies worldwide
and is the most widely recognized game brand in the world. Known for their
artistic beauty, immersive atmosphere and ease of use, the Myst games represent
a high benchmark of the video game industry. Now, the visually stunning Myst
universe will be featured in a persistent online world-based adventure featuring
state-of-the-art technology, innovative design and a rich social experience.
Myst Online is slated to launch in 2003.
Devotees of the Myst series,
fans of traditional massively-multiplayer online games, and non-gamers alike are
sure to be captivated by Myst Online. The game features visually stunning
real-time 3D graphics, rich storylines, continually updated content, real voice
communication and traditional text chat. Myst Online will have an easy learning
curve, enabling players of all skill levels and interests to experience the
expansive Ages and history of Myst in a uniquely social environment.
"Taking Myst into the online medium represents a significant opportunity
for Ubi Soft. We're excited to help expand one of the strongest and most
influential brands of our catalog to the internet." said Yves Guillemot,
President and CEO of Ubi Soft Entertainment. "Games like Myst Online and
Shadowbane(tm) are just the beginning of our commitment to the online games
market through ubi.com. We believe that Ubi Soft's online games expertise
coupled with the talented Cyan Worlds team will enable Myst Online to set a new
benchmark for persistent world-based games."
"This is the culmination of
years of world building. Everything we've learned from our earliest worlds we've
poured into Myst Online, building a universe that is growing, breathing, and
alive. The Myst Online universe will provide players with a journey that will
never end." said Rand Miller, founder of Cyan Worlds, Inc. "Myst Online uses our
proprietary technology to build a place that is so responsive and immersive,
people will feel impelled to share their adventure, both in the game, and the
next day at work or school. It's a massive undertaking, and we're excited about
working with Ubi Soft to make it a reality. "
Hvad spillet reelt
kommer til at handle om er altså ikke helt klart, men vi følger
dets udvikling på både RSC og SC.
Black
& White 2 officielt! (samt BW på konsoller!)
Onsdag
kl. 22:27
Det har været kendt
i "de indre kredse" i et stykke tid nu, men på førstedagen
til E3 blev det officielt: Black & White 2 er på vej til
PC'en! Her er noget af pressemeddelelsen fra Los Angeles og
Lionhead Studios:
“Are you a God of war or a God of peace?”
In Black & White you left
the world behind because it was exactly how you wanted it to be. The whole world
believed in you. As a god, your job was done. But since you’ve been away, things
have changed. The tribes have discovered technology and are embracing the power
it brings with a zeal bordering on the religious. And with new technology comes
war.
Are you ready for war? You had better be, because the people of Eden
are and they need guidance. Whether you persuade them to fight, or encourage
them to be peaceful… it’s up to you.
The people are more advanced. They
no longer require you to manage their basic needs. They’ve shed their primitive
ways and are harder to impress. Instead of co-habiting peacefully in Eden
they’re trying to convince others that their God is the one true god, making
Religion one of the catalysts for war. You can unite the people, or destroy all
that get in your way. It’s up to you. They have built up armies and will
defend their cities. Walls can be built around settlements in order to protect
them from opposing warriors and the Creatures of rival Gods.
The award
winning Creature AI, as featured in the Guinness Book of Records, is further
enhanced. The more advanced world brings more advanced knowledge, and the
Creature’s learning is no exception. There is greater interaction with people,
and your Creature has the ability to command armies.
Like Black &
White, Black & White 2 is about moral choices. You can provoke conflict, or
diffuse situations and encourage the path of goodliness. New 3D technologies
create even more detail. Greater emphasis has been spent on the player’s
alignment. Every action and inaction is visualised in the gaming world, with
buildings, flora and animal life all morphing to reflect the player’s
personality.
Du kan finde mere info i de kommende
dage på sitet: www.bwgame.com
I andre Black & White nyheder,
er det nu også offiicielt at det oprindelige B&W bliver
konverteret til både Playstation 2 og X-Box indenfor den nærmeste
fremtid.
Screenshots!

Warcraft
3 på banen i Los Angeles
Onsdag
kl. 21:12
Gamespot har som
beskrevet nedenfor kigget på World of Warcraft, men også sommerens
hotteste strategi-udgivelse, Warcraft 3, er kommet under luppen.
Her er et uddrag der omhandler single-player kampagnen:
As the human campaign progresses, you'll find out that the orcs are sacrificing
humans to summon demons, the burning legion that's threatening all of Azeroth.
Soon you'll meet Jaina, a wizard hero who's investigating a local plague. There
are eight missions for each of the four races' campaigns, and you'll switch
through playing each side's unique heroes--up to three at a time in later
missions. There are also some characters, like Uther, who you never get to
control, but who will fight alongside you. Even after putting Thrall, the orc
hero, in a positive light in the first mission, it's hard to be sympathetic to
the orcs when you see them through the eyes of the humans. So it's not all at
surprising that the orc campaign doesn't follow the human episode.
Gamespot har virkelig
fået gang i E3-dækningen, nu hvor showet for alvor er gået i
gang. De har blandt andet fået et nyt kig på Blizzards kommende
MMORPG, World of Warcraft, her følger et uddrag:
World of Warcraft will take place in the large, colorful fantasy world of the
Warcraft universe--players may encounter characters and monsters they've fought
in the Warcraft games, such as Warcraft III's ghouls. As with other, newer
online RPGs, monsters will have a certain range of aggression--if you can run
far enough away from a monster, you'll be able to escape with your life, as the
monster will lose interest and turn away. You'll be able to hunt the game's
different creatures alone or with a group--Blizzard intends to implement a full
player-guild structure. However, other details, including large-scale
transportation, trade skills, quests, and player housing, remain
unresolved--we'll have more on those features later
Her er et konsol-spil
der ligner en vinder! The Thing er et horror action-spil med
mange Adventure-elementer, der kommer til X-Box om få måneder.
Gamespot har en 3½ minut lang, skummel og meget lækker trailer
klar til spillet i forbindelse med fremvisning til E3, og den
finder du herfra i streaming-format:
LucasArts har netop
offentliggjort planer om at udgive Full Throttle 2, en efterfølger
til et af de bedste eventyrspil firmaet overhovedet har udgivet!
Her er pressemeddelelsen:
Acclaimed Classic Adventure Roars Back to Action on Next Generation Consoles and
PC in 2003
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- May 21, 2002 --
Full Throttle, one of the most loved classic adventures from
LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC, returns in a long awaited action packed
sequel for next generation consoles and PC in 2003. The follow up to the award
winning game from 1995 will once again feature one of LucasArts' most popular
and enduring characters, the swaggering outlaw biker Ben, leader of a renegade
motorcycle gang called the Polecats. The free wheeling action-adventure will
offer a humorous original story, furious bare knuckle fighting, and the thrill
of high speed biking.
"Full Throttle is one of
LucasArts' greatest and most beloved original games," says Simon Jeffery,
president of LucasArts. "We can't think of a better brand or character to lead
LucasArts' charge into a new era of original game development. Ben so perfectly
symbolizes our legacy and yet has just the right mix of attitude and edge to
appeal to a new generation of game players."
Du kan læse om det
oprindelige Full Throttle her.
Jeg har også fundet frem til en gammel anmeldelse af spillet
her
:-)
Full Throttle 2
kommer til PC samt de nye konsoller, PS2, X-Box og Gamecube
engang i 2003. Og lad os håbe at det bliver mere "Adventure"
end "Action", for der er pt ingen andre eventyrspil
under udvikling hos LucasArts...
Indiana
Jones and the Emperor's Tomb trailer
Onsdag
kl. 11:02
Spillet er ikke
mere end lige offentliggjort, men LucasArts tøver ikke med at
begejstre publikum! En spillevende, og meget flot trailer er
netop blevet udgivet omhandlende deres kommende Indiana Jones
spil, og den kan findes her (i Quicktime format): http://www.lucasarts.com/products/indiana/
Clone
Wars Trailer
Onsdag
kl. 10:57
Udvidelsen til Galactic
Battlegrounds er lige om hjørnet, og LucasArts viser spillet
i helhed til E3. Vi andre må nøjes med traileren til spillet,
der netop er kommet.
Så har Black Isle
Studios offentliggjort deres nye rollespil ved E3, og det var
ikke som alle regnede med Fallout Fantasies! Spillet
hedder Lionheart, og her er de kendte facts:
"Lionheart is a breakthrough computer role-playing
game that combines fast-paced, real-time combat with the epic story-telling of
high fantasy", stated Feargus Urquhart, President of Black Isle Studios. "The
historical locations and people, plot twists, character development, and
gorgeous graphics sets it apart from other CRPGs."
Lionheart diverges
from traditional high fantasy by placing the player on Earth in 16th century
Europe where a cataclysm has unleashed magic and powerful spirits upon the
world. Causing mass devastation, the events have altered the course of history
as we know it. To some who could comprehend the nature of these new forces, the
introduction of magic has brought great power. To the common folk, magic is
feared as the handiwork of evil. This disparity has halted the Renaissance,
casting a shadow over civilization by keeping mankind in an enduring Dark Age.
Set upon human factions and spiritkind, the player must decide how to best
develop their character's skills and abilities to triumph over obstacles in the
world in order to discover their true fate.
"Lionheart will offer
complex character development in a world completely unlike your generic fantasy
CRPG", stated Chris Parker, Senior Producer for the project. "The player can
focus their character on swordplay, archery, or the forbidden arts of magic -
all options are laid before you in a classless and open ended system."
Unrestricted character creation and development using Fallout's flexible
SPECIAL system allows player to create and advance characters in nearly
limitless fashions. Played from an isometric view, Lionheart will offer the
highest quality graphics yet seen in a PC role-playing game. This technology
will allow the player to explore a beautiful, lush and diverse world filled with
powerful magical artifacts, involving quests and unique characters. Players will
face a mix of strategic and intense combat, clever puzzles and dialog
interactions as they play though the intricate storyline. In addition to the
single player experience, up to four separate players can join in for a
multiplayer session.
Lionheart is under development at Reflexive
Entertainment Inc. and will feature their Velocity engine. Lionheart will be
available for Windows® 95/98/00/ME/XP-based computers in Winter, 2002.
Umiddelbart lyder
spillet jo som en drøm! Der mangler også mere realistiske rollespil
baseret på vores egen historie og vores egne myter om hekse,
demoner og trolde på markedet, da der ikke siden Darklands har
været noget ordentligt i den genre. Noget fedt for Fallout-fans
er, at spillet benytter SPECIAL-systemet til at stige levels,
styre skills, perks osv.
Der er nogle screenshots
her (spillet
ligner meget Baldur's Gate stilen rent visuelt).
Star
Wars trailers: Galaxies + KOTOR
Onsdag
kl. 10:05
LucasArts har lagt
de nye trailers til de Star Wars rollespil firmaet viser til
E3 op på nettet, her lige inden showet starter i USA i dag.
Hvad der er en smule interessant er, at Star Wars Galaxies nu
har en undertitel: "An Empire Divided". Begge film
er i QuickTime format.
Find sagerne fra de links nedenfor under hhv. "Trailer"
og "Movies".
Entertainment bladet
Variety rapporterer at Deus Ex nu skal lavet som en film
fra ingen ringere end Columbia Pictures! Her er scoopet, fundet
hos Coming Soon:
Variety reports that the "Spider-Man" team of Columbia Pictures and
producer Laura Ziskin will try to spin the hit computer/vidgame "Deus Ex" into
the studio's next feature franchise. The game is from Eidos Interactive who are
also known from the "Tomb Raider" series. Greg Pruss is set to write the
script.
The trade says that like the Warren Spector-created game, the
film will be set in 2052, with the world reeling from the effects of disease,
economic collapse and global terrorism. The protagonist is J.C. Denton, a
nano-tech enhanced counter-terrorist who's the government's most potent
weapon.
Eidos is producing a sequel to the PC and PS2 game, and Columbia
brass see the same potential for the big screen.
Skægt :-)
Deus
Ex 2 preview
Tirsdag
kl. 10:33
Deus Ex 2 vil for
første gang blive fremvist onsdag nat dansk tid til E3. IGN
PC har dog fået en forsmag på hvad spillet kommer til at byde
på, her følger et lille uddrag:
Deus Ex 2 will bring you into a new story with new main characters, but
with old friends, like JC, who everybody at Ion Storm considers a very important
part of the fiction and a character that will stay around in the series. In this
new story, you'll get behind the controls of another augmented human like JC. In
fact, almost just like JC. It seems as though a bunch of new characters, which
the guys kept referring to as "lab rats" have been spawned from JC's DNA. As a
prodigal son, or daughter actually, you'll get to build your character from the
ground up again just as you did in the original.
Du kan læse hele
previewet lige her.
Vi holder naturligvis godt øje med Deus Ex 2 her på siderne
i løbet af E3 messen.

E3-lineup
Tirsdag
d. 14/5
Her føælger den
foreløbige samlede lineup af spiltitler der vil blive fremvist
på E3-konferencen i år. Tak til Gamespot
for at kompilere listen :-)
Monte Cristo The Partners Dino Island Micro Commandos Platoon : The 1st Airborne Cavalry Division
in Vietnam Atlantis City Fire Department Airline Tycoon
Evolution
Her er en oversigt
over de titler Eidos viser frem til E3 i år, og der er nogle
lækker-bidskner imellem:
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin (PlayStation 2, PC & Xbox) Hitman 2:
Silent Assassin is the follow-up to the BAFTA award nominated Hitman: Codename
47. Developed by Io Interactive, the game will be released in September. You
must enter the mind of a genetically engineered assassin Codename 47, whose
deadly efficiency is now needed more than ever. Lured back into a global ring of
deception, you must kill not only to make a living, but to continue living. This
time it's not just business. It's personal.
TimeSplitters 2
(PlayStation 2, Xbox & GameCube) Prepare to battle through history as
the evil TimeSplitters get ready to rise again. TimeSplitters 2 is the sequel to
the hugely successful and critically acclaimed TimeSplitters. The game is being
developed by Free Radical Design of Nottingham, England, and is set for release
in September. TimeSplitters 2 will improve on the original in every conceivable
way. The game offers a more involving single player and co-operative story mode,
featuring a complex narrative with multiple objective-based episodes and
superbly animated cut-scenes.
Praetorians (PC) Praetorians is
an epic 3D troop based strategy game from Spanish based Pyro Studios, the
developers of the multi-million selling Commandos series. The game will be
released in Autumn. Praetorians is centred around the historical battles from
the campaigns of Julius Caesar. Taking on the role of a Roman General you are
transported back to the deserts of Egypt, the frozen lands of the Gauls and to
the heart of the Empire itself, Italy. You will be given the opportunity to
command the forces of not only the Romans, but also the ferocious Gauls and the
religiously fanatical Egyptians. The road to victory depends on strategy,
tactics, troop formations, learning to combine units and exploiting your enemy's
weaknesses.
Republic: The Revolution (PC) Developed by Demis
Hassabis' Elixir Studios, Republic: The Revolution is one of the most hotly
anticipated games of the year. Republic places you in the role of a faction
leader intent on becoming the President... by fair means or foul. Starting with
nothing more than a single loyal supporter, a tiny secret HQ and a very small
base of local support, you must build up a nationwide faction powerful enough to
oust the President and rule the Republic of Novistrana. The game boasts the most
advanced graphics engine ever - the 'Totality' engine capable of rendering an
unlimited number of polygons in real-time.
Beach Life (PC)
Sun, sand and sex is what you can expect from the holiday simulation Beach
Life. Based on a game concept by Ian Livingstone, the game is being developed by
Deep Red and is due for release in August. Set in exotic holiday resorts around
the world, players compete to create the most successful holiday experience.
Build an Ibiza-like resort with hotels, bars, clubs, beach activities, and water
sports, set the prices and watch all the self-indulgent holidaymakers have fun
in the sun. As summer rolls on you will experience all the joys and the
headaches of running a typical package holiday resort from romance and over
indulgence to food poisoning and storms.
Legaia 2: Duel Saga
(PlayStation 2) Originally released in Japan only, Legaia 2: Duel Saga is
the latest addition to Eidos' Fresh Games line-up. The game is a Japanese
turn-based RPG, which features real-time backgrounds and voice acting. Eidos
will translate and localize the game for the Western market. The game has been
developed by SCEI and will be released this Autumn.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness (PC,
Playstation 2) employs a brand new engine built
to fully utilise the power of PlayStation 2 and the latest PC graphics cards.
Lara is now made up of over 5,000 polygons as opposed to just 500 in previous
Tomb Raider games. The new face of Lara - Dutch model Jill de Jong will
also be making regular appearances on the stand. At 6ft tall and measuring
34-26-38, Jill is a perfect incarnation of the world's number one cyber-babe.
Deus
Ex 2: Invisible War (PC,
X-Box)
En meget
imponerende række spil, som vi glæder os til at stifte nærmere
bekendtskab med.
