Aujourd'hui,
on peut lire sur
BluesNews l'annonce d'un nouveau FPS développé sur le moteur 3D Lithtech
(Blood2, Shogo:MAD, NOLF, Global Ops). Sniper, c'est le nom du jeu, vous mettra
dans la peau d'un sniper... à priori, il devrait sortir avant la fin de
l'année:UPDATE: UN GRAND MERCI A NETSABES pour nous avoir trouver les superbes screenshots sur Bluesnews. Il n'y a pas à dire, Lithtech c'est un super moteur 3D.New Sniper Title Planned for IncaGold and Xicat
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida – IncaGold and Xicat Interactive have once again teamed to create a new first person shooter (FPS) game tentatively entitled Sniper. Currently in development using the LithTech Development System, this game is just one in a series of titles that IncaGold will produce for Xicat in the coming months with exclusive world-wide rights.
IncaGold’s Managing Director, Richard M. Holmes, stated that, “Xicat and IncaGold are cooperating on several games at the moment and I feel that our companies have developed a really keen partnership. We have already had much success from Hotwired and Scooter Challenge, and Xicat has proven themselves time and again since we began working with them. I am very excited at every new opportunity.”
Sniper is being developed for the PC/CD-ROM format and is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2001. Set in the dark underworld of the 1980s, the game will feature a variety of weapons for gamers to choose from, and epic shootouts that occur in various cities throughout the world, including Chicago, Las Vegas, and Rome.
“We are really looking forward to getting Sniper on shelves in the coming months,” said Reto Bodmer, President of Xicat Interactive. “The partnership with IncaGold is a good one to have, and we think their creative style really fits our target audience. The collaborations between our companies have proven successful in the past, and we have no doubt that future products they provide us will reach our niche perfectly.”
Nik Soderstrom, Lead Designer for Sniper adds that, “This game is going to be very exciting. I think using the Lithtech Development System will do a lot for this game. We’re combining a twisting plot with real strategic planning, all in first person shooter. This will allow the sniper to plan the attack, set up the prime location, and pick the target. None of that endless shooting wave after wave of opponents! You really have to think on this one.”

CS: Condition 0
La première fois que j'ai lu ca j'ai ricané bêtement en pensant que ca devait être un journaliste de Joystick... puis je me suis rappelé avoir joué pendant 30 minutes sur des serveurs Tribes2 et Urban Terror contre des bots sans m'en rendre compte (mais pourquoi ils ont 0 de pings?). Ceci dit, si je pensais jouer contre des humains, ca ne signifie pas qu'ils jouaient mieux que des newbies découvrant le jeu. Conclusion: leur argument ne vaut pas grand chose.We recently let a member of the press play a multiplayer game with the bots, but we didn’t tell him that the other players weren’t human. After a half an hour or so we told him that he was playing with bots and he couldn’t believe it.
L'interview donne aussi quelques détails sur l'équipement et les nouvelles armes:
L'histoire ne nous dit pas si avec le LAW on peut faire exploser l'abris favoris des joueus de CS: la caisse.There are eight to 10 new weapons and equipment items including a FAMAS rifle, an M-60 E3 machinegun, a Galil (Israeli assault rifle), a Molotov cocktail, a chemical gas grenade, a LAW rocket (one-shot disposable rocket propelled grenade launcher), a ballistic shield and more.
Dernière chose: d'après Randy, CS:C0 pourrait voir le jour pendant l'hivers 2001.

Preview de GhostRecon
PCZone a
publié une preview
de Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: le FPS à mi-chemin entre Operation Flashpoint
et Rainbow 6. L'article est complet mais un peu pesant à lire car au début il
reprend toutes les informations que nous avons déjà lues ailleurs.
Il parle entre autre du thread indicator, cet étrange crosshair que l'on pouvait voir dans la toute récente vidéo ingame:
Il semble à présent clair que Ghost Recon sera plus proche du simulateur de guerre que du FPS orienté action/compétition. Je me demande encore comment seront gérés les respawns ou l'absence de respawns en multiplayer car avec des parties à 16v16 sur des maps de 400m, les missions risquent d'être assez longues.Another important addition to the in-game interface is the threat indicator. 'We've had a lot of controversy at Red Storm about this because it's not entirely realistic, but we decided we really needed something like this,' Brian explains.
'The maps are 400 x 400 metres, so they're pretty big. We needed a way for you to find your enemies, to point you in the right direction and not be stranded on one level looking for the last enemy soldier.'
It's very simple and works beautifully. A circle in the centre of your screen is divided into segments which light up to show which direction they're in, while another layer lights up red when you're being shot so you know where they're firing from. 'It doesn't give so much information that it makes it an unfair advantage but it really helps with the gameplay.
