Abbiamo lavorato su Rochard per un bel pezzo ad ora e siamo molto eccitati di iniziare a mostrarvi questo titolo di avventura intelligente, divertente e unico per giocatori del PlayStation Network.

L’eroe, John Rochard, non è un marine o un super soldato, ma solo un duro, ordinario minatore con i baffi, che si ritrova in una situazione fuori dall’ordinario. La combinazione del suo stile ironico, dell’esplorazione di antichità spaziali e dell’abilità del giocatore di manipolare la gravità, farà emergere Rochard certamente dalla massa.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – March 1, 2011 – Today at GDC, Unity Technologies, provider of the Unity development platform for games and interactive 3D on the web, iOS, Android, consoles and beyond, announced that, Rochard, the first game authored on the Unity platform for the PlayStation®Network, will be shown at Unity Technologies’ booth #1416. Developed by Recoil Games founded by former Remedy Entertainment team members and published by Sony Online Entertainment LLC, Rochardis scheduled to be released this spring andfeatures the adventures of hero John Rochard as he manipulates gravity in inventive ways to solve puzzles, defeat enemies and bring down the most evil of bosses.

“As development on Rochard began, our team was blown away by the capabilities of the Unity platform,” said Kalle Kaivola, Producer at Recoil Games. “We found our designers could dive into scripts and build functioning prototypes independently and nail down core gameplay elements efficiently by editing objects in run-time. Unity allows us so much flexibility; it was clearly the most powerful engine choice we could hope for Rochard.”

“Unity has become the 3D authoring platform of choice for more than 400,000 developers and our vision has always been to build a unified platform for game development that offers the broadest market support,” said David Helgason, CEO of Unity Technologies. “Last year we introduced support for the PlayStation®3 and are excited to support the first commercial releases on the platform. In the future we look forward to continuing to expand the reach of our customers’ games to new platforms and audiences.”

With a community of developers and with thousands of Unity-authored video game titles available on the Web, PC, Mac, iOS, Android, PS3^™, Xbox 360, and Wii, Unity is the industry’s leading game development platform and middleware company.
