Thought it won't be ready for the Xbox's launch this year -- Gears of War is still looking to deliver an action experience unlike any other.
Gears of War, which is being developed exclusively for the Xbox 360 by Epic Games, blends the best elements of tactical action games and survival horror.
The game thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing story of humankind's battle against the Locust Horde, a race of creatures emerging from the bowels of the Earth. Players will take the role of Marcus Fenix, a disgraced war hero seeking personal redemption as he leads his fire team against the Locust Horde. Marcus' team will feature advanced AI and move through the game intelligently. They will also take orders, as well as seeking cover and defending their team. As an added bonus, the game will also utilize voice-recognition software to let you give commands on the fly.
The game will also challenge players with advanced enemy AI, requiring them to make smart use of their assets. During the game, players will be able to utilize interactive environments to create and take cover. From these vantage points, they'll also be able to use blind fire techniques to suppress enemy advancements as well as planning strategies to outwit foes.
Gamers will also be able to take their experience online. Though few details have been revealed, gamers will be able to individualize their experiences through matchmaking options as well as earning personal player achievements and customized games -- all viewable through their gamer profile.
Emergence Day occurs next year. |
