E3 2005 : Vivendi Universal Games Line-up
Vivendi, those wonderful chaps who brought us Half Life 2 have given us a glimpse of their wares that’ll be on show for E3. Their line-up clearly shows that they are aiming for fewer games of a high quality, with titles from Blizzard, Sierra and Radical Entertainment to name but a few, covering everything from fantasy online gaming through to gangsta action in New York and over to comic book based destruction too!
StarCraft: Ghost
StarCraft: Ghost is a tactical-action console game set in Blizzard's StarCraft universe. In StarCraft: Ghost, players take part in the struggle for galactic domination as Nova, a deadly Ghost operative in the employ of the Terran Dominion. Twenty years of ruthless physical conditioning and techno-psychological instruction have transformed Nova into a being of terrifying potential. As she progresses through a series of story-driven missions, Nova is required to engage in a number of dangerous infiltration operations and deadly planetary battles. To complete Nova's mission objectives, players must execute intelligent tactical decisions while mastering an advanced arsenal of sophisticated weaponry and Nova's own psionic abilities.
In addition to utilizing Nova's special abilities to carry out covert operations, players can call in offsite support ranging from sophisticated identification sweeps to all-out tactical nuclear strikes. As they advance through the game, players will also have the ability to operate a number of vehicles unique to the StarCraft universe, including Goliath Combat Walkers and Arclite siege tanks. Also, to aid them in combat, players can go into a zoomed-in sniper mode from anywhere in any level, using Nova's modified C-20A canister rifle.
StarCraft: Ghost features highly stylized character models, over-the-top special effects, and immersive 3D environments that reward creative exploration. The game's deeply evolving story line takes full advantage of Blizzard's StarCraft universe and refines the epic experience to the level of the individual soldier.
