Game News - World in Conflict va fi portat pe Xbox 360 şi PlayStation 3

Publisher-ul F.E.A.R. şi TimeShift a anunţat ieri că mult-lăudatul World in Conflict va fi portat pe PlayStation 3 şi Xbox 360, urmând să fie lansat toamna asta pentru respectivele console.

World in Conflict e un RTS a cărui acţiune se desfăşoară într-o istorie alternativă, în care vecinii noştri sovietici de la Răsărit se încep să se teamă de eventuala lor prăbuşire şi devin agresivi. Astfel că invadează Europa anului 1989 şi îşi întind tentaculele şi pe continentul nord-american, doar-doar or mai pune de-un colhoz sau C.A.P. şi prin Yellowstone.

Nu e un subiect foarte strălucit (Red Alert îl întorsese deja pe toate părţile), dar gameplay-ul se pare că e destul de bun, de vreme ce WoC a primit deja destule premii, ca "Best Strategy Game" la E3 2007 sau "Best Strategy Game of 2007".

Sierra, publiser-ul jocului, a aflat că e rost de profituri mai mari dacă transferă liniile de cod de pe PC-uri pe consolele next-gen, aşa că i-a pus la treabă pe cei de la Massive Entertainment (studioul deţinut de Sierra care s-a ocupat de versiunea de PC) şi pe cei de la Swordfish (alt studio aflat în proprietatea Sierra, axat pe jocuri de console), iar rezultatul muncii lor îl vom vedea toamna asta.

World in Conflict ar deveni astfel unul din puţinele titluri din categoria real-time strategy care au o interfaţă şi controls adaptate consolelor. Mai mult decât atât, versiunile de Xbox 360 şi PlayStation 3 vor avea parte de content exclusiv, atât pe partea de single-player, cât şi pe cea de multi-player. Deşi asta poate părea o nedreptăţire a posesorilor de PC care au cumpărat deja jocul, Sierra a anunţat ca acelaşi content exclusiv va deveni disponibil ca add-on tot anul acesta.

"World in Conflict was one of the best games on any platform in 2007 and its innovative action-focused gameplay makes it a perfect fit for the transition to consoles," a spus Martin Tremblay, preşdintele Sierra Entertainment worldwide studios. "World in Conflict is being reinvented for Xbox 360 and the PLAYSTATION3 system, with innovative features and new single player and multiplayer content created for the console audience. World in Conflict on consoles will be an amazing extension of an already great gaming franchise."
