SEGA announces 2008 game line-up
Just fresh from the “late” presses is SEGA‘s recent announcement of its games lined up for a 2007-2008 cycle. According to the report by game dev haven Gamasutra, SEGA has set Condemned 2: Bloodshot, Ghost Squad, Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm, Universe At War: Earth Assault and…what’s this? A “new PC RPG deal with Gas Powered Games”?
The announcement of the title line-up for the next cycle was made at SEGA’s Gamer’s Day in San Francisco, and the details of the titles were spilled to certain extent although not as comprehensive as you might hope. The big mystery title being developed with Gas Powered Games comes with even more minute details, keeping the specifics of the game as an “an original and as yet unspecified role-playing game for the PC” coming for 2008.
Coming to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is Condemned 2: Bloodshot from original franchise creators Monolith Productions. The game was mentioned to be coming with “an all-new fighting mechanic and online multiplayer functionality.” It was also added that players will be able to engage in “visceral” combat using the usual firearms, blunt makeshift weapons and combination moves for defensive and offensive purposes.
For the Wii, arcade game Ghost Squad, by SEGA’s AM2 division, will be coming in the holiday season of 2007. Revamped with a few more Wii-specific features and game modes, the game will otherwise be coming with its original arcade feel and gameplay, for the casual and leisure gamer in you. Players can expect to use the Wiimote for targeting enemies, defusing bombs and rescuing hostages.
Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm will be heading to Xbox 360 gamers over Xbox Live Arcade, featuring the ironically gory concept of the animated series “Happy Tree Friends.” The title, currently under the creative hands of Stainless Studios, will be available by fall of 2007. Combining action elements with puzzles, gamers will have to make use of concrete, ice, gasoline and nitroglycerin (among other resources) to save the Friends from their own bad luck.
Universe at War: Earth Assault, which is currently headed for the PC, will also be making a debut on the Xbox 360 by the first quarter of 2008. The game pits planet Earth under siege by an insurmountable Alien force, and Xbox 360 RTS fans can rest assured that the game is being developed with “a control scheme built from the ground up to ensure smooth gameplay and ease of command for console gamers.”
