Saboteur - no more than 20 hours

Pandemic Studio reported that passage of the campaign, its promising plot poluistoricheskogo Project The Saboteur will take an average of twelve to eighteen hours. Told the chief designer of the project, Thomas French (Thomas French): «Frankly, I find it difficult to answer the question, how many hours will pass play and how long will it take you to finish it in one hundred percent. We hope that the storyline will take you from 12 to 18 hours, depending on experience. However, in the game, there are many additional missions, which do not affect the storyline, but, nevertheless, interesting. They The Saboteur will be much longer. "

New project Obsidian

Fergus Urquhart (Feargus Urquhart) from Obsidian said the company is now working on some new, not yet announced a project, and is developing its own engine. "We are working on one of our new game for four months, but talk about it while we can not. But the development is in full swing and the fact that we have obtained very impressive. We use our own engine, so we can do as we want. After all, we are fully aware of this technology and, therefore, easier for us to work. All that we have studied, worked on simulation games - one for ten years, and someone for fifteen - we use in our new game. Consequently, we can conclude that we are waiting for a representative of the genre RPG.

Urquhart added: "We should not think that we are going to compete with the Unreal Engine. And the reason we did not have his license, does not that technology Epic unsuccessful. Just engine - a tool designed for specific purposes. There are things that our engine will never handle as good as it would have made the Unreal Engine. Conversely, for some reason, our technology is much better. "

More Max Payne 3

What's it like to lose everything? Many of us, fortunately, will never know. What would you do if have lost their jobs, family, true love, at home, their own mind? For what you would have continued to live? A legendary tragic hero virtual (and more recently Hollywood) militants, Max Payne (Max Payne), knows the answers to all these questions. And he was silent for too long - from 2003 year - when she came out the second part of The Fall of Max Payne. It's time to speak out ...

In the long-awaited Max Payne 3 We will meet with the changing Max. He not only became older and seemingly changed beyond recognition (good-bye, thick hair, hello, bald head and beard), but even more embittered. By the way, to play (there is a voice) it will be another actor - not MakKeffri James (James McCaffrey). Who is still unknown. Casting is not yet completed. But Rockstar promises a star of first magnitude.

Despite the blows of fate, his last chance to return to normal life Max uses. And it will tell us about it Rockstar in the third part of the famous fighter. The developers claim that the story line will be linked to the original dilogii. We also will meet with familiar characters. You may be able to see and Mona (Mona), a survivor in one of the alternate endings of the second part. But details of the new adventures of the hero kept secret.

Nevertheless, it is known that the design of Max Payne 3 would be fundamentally different from what fans are accustomed to the original dilogii. And this was to be expected, the developer else. But Rockstar employees say that they respect the work of Remedy and try to keep the game a unique atmosphere of the first two series. Another question is whether they get it. The new Max is very unlike that which we are accustomed to, and location at which he will fight enemies, nothing to do with a gloomy city do not have. At this time, instead of New York is waiting for us sunny Latin America and the Brazilian metropolis of Sao Paulo, home to over twenty million people.

However, one should not think that Max was in heaven on earth. Sao Paulo - one of the most dangerous cities in the world, full of gangsters, corrupt police, drugs, weapons and other "benefits" of criminal civilization. The developers are confident that the best place for Max Payne is not found. And it is here you can tell it is not easy, full of dramatic and bloody showdown history. By the way, a virtual Sao Paulo - almost an exact replica of the real (more precisely, its individual parts). Max himself was here, trying to find oblivion at the bottom of the glass. In addition, he became interested in pain relief (and this passion will affect the gameplay). As he came back to life? It's very simple - he was hired by a certain wealthy family as a guard. But a quiet life, as you have already guessed, it, alas, could not eat.

As for the gameplay, the legendary time dilation Bullet Time in Max Payne 3 will necessarily be used. Also, we expect large-scale battle, numerous weapons and a lot of enemies (not bosses also will not do). The developers promise a wide variety of situations and locations. Of course, too much to hide (shelter in the Brazilian megalopolis enough), take people hostage and use them as human shields. Do not do without popular QTE (Quick Time Events), when the player is required to quickly press certain buttons. And that all looked nice, take care RAGE engine and animation technology Euphoria (previously used in Grand Theft Auto 4).

Do not forget about the promised multiplayer mode. However, what awaits us, the developers hide. Co-op? Maybe. Although not excluded, and the usual deathmatch. We await details and the game itself. Fortunately release is not so far off - Max Payne 3 will be released the coming winter on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Aliens: Colonial Marines in the next year

Japanese Sega announced that its projects in the universe "strangers» Aliens: Colonial Marines and a mysterious Aliens RPG still be issued. Just does not happen as soon as we all expected. When asked why Sega had not brought these projects to E3, employees say: "First come the new Aliens vs. Predator, which will be the first of three scheduled games about strangers. Her we have shown in the exhibition. As for the other two projects, something about them we will cover later. Wait.

By the way, the information has already appeared. President of Gearbox Software, Randy Pitchford (Randy Pitchford), said that the Colonial Marines is in development and will be released on PC, consoles this generation and the portable Nintendo DS (though on this version works the other team). As for Aliens RPG, something about her fate remains unknown. Alas.

Arma 2 - soon in Russia

The company "Akella" sending reported in the press of the Russian version of one of the most anticipated shooters this year - Armed Assault 2 (Arma 2) - from the Czech studio Bohemia Interactive. The exact release date in Russia yet, however, are not reported - her publisher promises to announce further.

Recall that the action Arma 2 is set in a fictional post-Soviet state Chernorus, where civil war broke out between supporters and opponents of the totalitarian regime. Of course, once the country emerged the Western peacekeepers, a detachment of which you and should lead. In your control will be one of the soldiers - the rest at this time would be wiser to direct artificial intelligence. However, at any time you can switch to another member of the squad.

The developers promise us not just shooter, but also role-play, coupled with a simulator control combat equipment (more than fifty different samples) without bias in any direction. Do not forget about the economy and - you have to constantly keep track of, say, fuels and lubricants. Multiplayer on the fifty players attached.

For more detailed information on the same Arma 2 as usually send you a detailed preview of Game-space.ru - it is waiting for you on this link .

System requirements Dragon Age: Origins

The company called BioWare system requirements for its absence of the legendary role-playing game Dragon Age: Origins, designed to become the heir of a cult Baldur's Gate. Judging by the demonstrations at E3, waiting for us not what we were waiting for several years. A lot of blood, sex and brutality - not that we seemed to Baldur's Gate next generation. But let's not make hasty conclusions. Perhaps, Dragon Age will be thus the hit role-playing, which will be equal to all other developers. Benefit from the experience and talent at BioWare in abundance.

However, to appreciate the charms of Dragon Age, will require a very powerful system. So, to start the game you need to have the following PC: Windows XP operating system with Service Pack 3, Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD X2, one gigabyte of RAM, video card-level ATI Radeon X850 or GeForce 6600 with 128 megabytes of memory and, most importantly, an incredible 20 gigabytes of free space on your hard drive (I wonder how many discs will hold the Xbox 360 version). If you want to run the game on a PC with Windows Vista, you'll need to acquire: Service Pack 1, Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD X2, 1.5 gigabytes of RAM, video card-level ATI Radeon X1550 or GeForce 7600 with 256 megabytes of memory.

And to enjoy all the charms of half-polygonal girls have to fork out for: quad monster Intel Core 2 Quad, operating at 2.4 gigahertz, four (for the voracious Vista) or two (for XP) gigabytes of RAM and a graphics card-level ATI 3850 or GeForce 8800 with 512 megabytes of memory. With such requirements Dragon Age must be at least an indescribably beautiful.

Necessary Force questioned

As you know, once a successful company went bankrupt Midway and put in all of its assets for sale. Most "good" eyes on Warner Bros. Entertainment. However, not all that is in Midway, interested buyers. Something was left without an owner and may well disappear. For example, studio Midway Newcastle, has created a controversial thriller with Vin Diesel (Vin Diesel) in the title role Wheelman. Now the developers are working on a new project called Necessary Force - fighter in the style of Grand Theft Auto (that is, with great discretion and great world). Publishers will have to find them yourself.

If such is not found, the project seems to die. However, the creators do not give up. Recently they launched the official website of the game, which posted the video. From which one can learn that the protagonist will play a detective who, incidentally, will work more with his fists rather than brains. Battles with the enemy, spectacular shoot-out a large number of cars and driving, non-linearity and the need to make decisions (which actually affect the lives of the city) - this is what awaits us all if Newcastle will find a publisher.

For the beauty of the picture answer Unreal Engine 3, which was also used in the Wheelman. Apparently, we are waiting for a game very similar to it. How it will be interesting and high quality, judged not tackle. But the application developers that just three months they have collected a working version of the game, somewhat alarming. Even scary.

The beta version of StarCraft 2 is coming

Producer of the long-awaited real-time strategy StarCraft 2, Chris Sigati (Chris Sigaty), announced that a beta version of the project will be very soon. "I want to say that we are working to keep you as soon as possible could enjoy the game. It remains quite a bit. The project is almost ready. The official announcement and the date of launch the beta version we do not call. But, rest assured, you are left to wait a little bit. No, not a couple of years. Let me just say - very, very soon "- he says.

As the release date full version of the game, it is not yet defined. Again, the developers repeats what we already know: "We're going to release the game this year, if it will be ready." Let's hope that they will succeed and have a new year, all fans of the genre will be able to make a gift in the form of StarCraft 2, which we all are waiting for ten years. That's all. See you in 7 days!
