CDV Announces Three Xbox
Games for 2003; First CDV Titles for Xbox to Include
`Core,' `Project Nomads,' and `Vultures'
CDV
Software Entertainment AG, one of the leading German
publishers and distributors of gaming software, today
announced three upcoming titles for the Xbox(TM)
videogame system from Microsoft. In a continuing effort
to diversify consumer offerings, CDV is planning to
release "CORE," "Project Nomads," and
"Vultures" in 2003.
"The
strength of our three Xbox games speaks for itself: the
cutting edge action-adventure title `CORE,' Jules
Verne-inspired fantasy `Project Nomads' and action-packed
coliseum epic `Vultures,' which is available only on
Xbox," said Wolfgang Gabler, chief executive officer
of CDV AG. "With these promising Xbox games in the
works, we are looking forward to our debut into the
console market."
CDV's Xbox(TM) lineup includes:
"Vultures"
The action-packed
"Vultures," an Xbox-exclusive title, is a 3D
fighting game in a fascinating post-apocalyptic setting.
The captivating game features outstanding 3D graphics and
realistically animated characters derived from the latest
motion capture technology. Only by succeeding in the
gladiatorial arena through a combination of skill,
dexterity and cold-blooded determination, will a Vulture
move up in the ranks and obtain new weaponry. The player
can compete as 16 different gladiators with varying
combat styles and dozens of weapons and large armories.
"CORE"
"CORE" is an
action-adventure game sure to thrill Xbox fans with its
top-notch graphics, crazy characters and whacked-out
scenarios. Centered around an adaptable metal suit that
enhances the wearer's abilities, "CORE"
introduces three characters: Pixie, Madboy and Rex the
dog. "CORE" is the first game with
character-specific points of view, including Rex's
"Smell View." The player can choose a different
character to tackle each new scenario -- will Pixie's
climbing skills best suit the task? Or perhaps Madboy's
mighty wallop? Guest characters, including Fluppo the
bird and Fijona the Mermaid, also expand the player's
strength.
"Project Nomads"
Set in a Jules Verne-esque world
of floating islands, "Project Nomads" is a 3D
action-adventure that incorporates the best in action and
strategy. As the result of a terrible disaster, the
Nomads planet is splintered into fragments. The few
remaining survivors must build fortresses to fend against
hostile attacks. As a flying wizard/engineer, the player
can build scores of factories, power plants, defense
units and zeppelins. With beautiful graphics and
innovative gameplay, "Project Nomads" is poised
to make a splash next year on Xbox.
