Game News - Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Confirmed For Xbox 360 And PS3

   Well, well, well, looks like the rumours from last spring were right: Quake Wars really is coming to the Xbox 360. And not only that, but also to the PlayStation 3! id Software and Activision have just confirmed these two next-gen console versions of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars - one developed by Nerve Software (for Xbox 360), and the other one by Z-Axis (for PS3) - under the executive production of id. Both are also said to feature strategic team play for up to 16 players, persistent character promotions and online stats tracking.

   Todd Hollenshead (id Software's CEO) is not short of "pleased" to be working with Nerve and Z-Axis, adding that... oh, sorry, actually that's all he said: "We're pleased to be working with Nerve and Z-Axis to bring the highly-anticipated gameplay from Enemy Territory: Quake Wars to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system". The rest of the press release is just stuffed with these general notes about ET: Quake Wars:
"In this epic multiplayer-focused game, players can choose to defend humanity as a part of the Global Defense Force (GDF) or destroy it as a merciless Strogg alien invader.
(...)
Players choose to battle as one of five unique classes in either the conventionally armed GDF army or the futuristic Strogg invasion force, each outfitted with specialist weapons and combat hardware. In this adrenaline pumping fight for survival, warring forces utilize a variety of different vehicles, deployable structures, and defense systems including quad-bikes, tanks, and alien walkers for epic ground assaults; or helicopters and anti-gravity ships to unleash airborne attacks. Throughout each battle, teams establish bases, deploy defense structures, artillery, radar, and advanced forward-command systems into enemy territory while constructing and demolishing obstacles to speed progress and gain a tactical advantage over the opponent."    In the meantime, the PC version continues to be fine-tuned by the Brits from Splash Damage, as it nears its 2007 release. Well, hopefully 2007.
