Aujourd’hui, on peut lire sur BluesNews l’annonce d’un nouveau FPS développé sur le moteur 3D Lithtech (Blood2, Shogo:MAD, NOLF, Global Ops). Sniper, c’est le nom du jeu, vous mettra dans la peau d’un sniper… à priori, il devrait sortir avant la fin de l’année:
New Sniper Title Planned for IncaGold and Xicat
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida – IncaGold and Xicat Interactive have once again teamed to create a new first person shooter (FPS) game tentatively entitled Sniper. Currently in development using the LithTech Development System, this game is just one in a series of titles that IncaGold will produce for Xicat in the coming months with exclusive world-wide rights.
IncaGold’s Managing Director, Richard M. Holmes, stated that, “Xicat and IncaGold are cooperating on several games at the moment and I feel that our companies have developed a really keen partnership. We have already had much success from Hotwired and Scooter Challenge, and Xicat has proven themselves time and again since we began working with them. I am very excited at every new opportunity.”
Sniper is being developed for the PC/CD-ROM format and is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2001. Set in the dark underworld of the 1980s, the game will feature a variety of weapons for gamers to choose from, and epic shootouts that occur in various cities throughout the world, including Chicago, Las Vegas, and Rome.
“We are really looking forward to getting Sniper on shelves in the coming months,” said Reto Bodmer, President of Xicat Interactive. “The partnership with IncaGold is a good one to have, and we think their creative style really fits our target audience. The collaborations between our companies have proven successful in the past, and we have no doubt that future products they provide us will reach our niche perfectly.”
Nik Soderstrom, Lead Designer for Sniper adds that, “This game is going to be very exciting. I think using the Lithtech Development System will do a lot for this game. We’re combining a twisting plot with real strategic planning, all in first person shooter. This will allow the sniper to plan the attack, set up the prime location, and pick the target. None of that endless shooting wave after wave of opponents! You really have to think on this one.”
UPDATE: UN GRAND MERCI A NETSABES pour nous avoir trouver les superbes screenshots sur Bluesnews. Il n’y a pas à dire, Lithtech c’est un super moteur 3D.
