Console tribe news - Ignition al lavoro su un gioco con licenza CryENGINE 3
di: Bahamut ZeroAria di novità in casa Ignition. La softwarehouse tedesca non si è fino a questo momento distinta per particolari velleità artistiche, poichè ad oggi si è limitata a distribuire in occidente titoli di creazione orientale (Dead to Rights: Retribution, Muramasa the Demon Blade e Nostalgia no kaze).
Ora però è proprio il suo neonato studio interno con sede a Londra ad annunciare di essere al lavoro su un “pregiato combat action adventure” in terza persona per Xbox 360 e PlayStation 3, un gioco ancora senza nome che sarà mosso nientemeno che dal famoso CryENGINE 3 messo a punto dai simpaticissimi ragazzi di Crytek.
Ignition ha infatti recentemente acquistato la licenza di utilizzo del ben noto motore grafico tanto sbandierato dal team di Crysis 2. Restiamo ora in attesa di foto a video a testimonianza dei risultati che Ignition sarà in grado di ottenere.
Frankfurt a. M. (Germany)/ London (United Kingdom), 11 May 2010 ? Ignition Entertainment Ltd is pleased to announce today that they have licensed Crytek?s critically acclaimed CryENGINE®3. Ignition, the worldwide publisher/developer, will use CryENGINE 3 for the first game published from its London studio. This flagship title is a uniquely crafted combat action-adventure, set for release on the XBOX 360? and PlayStation®3.
It has always been Ignition’s mission to push creative and technological limits in their titles, and the London studio will continue this vision by harnessing CryENGINE 3 in their upcoming title. The combination of leading technology and recent additions to the studio management team has placed renewed focus on delivering an outstanding entertainment product.
?For us, the advanced cross-platform technologies offered by Crytek were the natural choice. The comprehensive tools and expert support provided by Crytek, combined with the experience of our team, are already delivering impressive results.
