Gaming News - March 2005
Los Angeles, CA (March 17, 2005) - Vivendi Universal Games today
announced that Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is now available at retailers
nationwide.
From VU Games :
Developed by Mithis Entertainment and published by HD Interactive BV, Nexus –
The Jupiter Incident is a real-time mission-based tactical space game featuring
spectacular real-time battles with breathtaking motion picture quality. Players
will focus on tactics and action as they control up to 10 battleships
encountering aliens, unknown solar systems and other phenomena in the struggle
to save Earth.
Since its European release the Nexus community has produced a number of mods
with the games’ tool kit. Gamers can visit NexusTheGame.com to get an updated
and complete list of available mods. The full mod kit is provided with the game
and contains the tools and documentation related to ship modelling: a Nexus
model viewer, a couple of sample models from the game, and a doc file describing
the modelling guidelines and the usage of the model viewer.
“Nexus is the sci-fi game that captures the essence of perfection, with
outstanding graphics, sound and game play and is a true out-of-this-world
experience,” said Philip W. O’Neil, President of North America, Vivendi
Universal Games. “We are very excited that Nexus has received numerous
outstanding review scores.”
At the dawn of the 22nd century, the conquest of space and the colonization
of the solar system are being monopolized by several huge and ambitious mega
corporations. Although extremely delicate and vulnerable, equilibrium is
maintained by these companies. It has now been 60 years since the terrible
catastrophe that befell Noah’s Ark, the first colony ship of mankind.
At the very edge of the solar system the companies make a discovery which
will shift the technological advantage and upset the balance. And so a new
conflict is born: “The Jupiter Incident”. Players will step into the shoes of
Marcus Cromwell, a young but already famous captain and his legendary spaceship
Stiletto and find themselves in the middle of this conflict.
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident has been rated “T” by the ESRB and carries a
suggested retail price of $49.99. More information on the game can be found at
