Video Gaming News - June 2004
Calabasas, CA (June 1, 2004) - THQ Inc. today announced the release
of Full Spectrum Warrior for the Xbox.
From THQ:
Developed by Pandemic Studios, "Full Spectrum Warrior" is an original,
tactical-action military game that simulates in every detail the experience of
squad command in the highly charged atmosphere of urban warfare. Compatible with
Xbox Live(TM)!, Microsoft's online gaming arena, "Full Spectrum Warrior" has
shipped to retailers throughout North America for a suggested retail price of
$49.99.
"`Full Spectrum Warrior' is a milestone in electronic interactive entertainment.
As it was developed as a training device for the U.S. Army, it's the most
realistic and authentic military game to date," said Jack Sorensen, THQ
executive vice president, worldwide studios.
"`Full Spectrum Warrior' is one of the most visually impressive games ever
launched. It delivers tactical and strategic squad combat not seen in today's
popular military games and carries the genre to a new level of reality and
entertainment."
"Full Spectrum Warrior" is based on a light infantry-training simulator designed
by Pandemic Studios for the U.S. Army as a tool to reinforce Army doctrine and
squad tactics among troops. Delivering the experience of squad level command in
the heat of battle, the game was developed with expertise from University of
Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies, who worked with
Pandemic to replicate today's challenges of urban combat missions.
"`Full Spectrum Warrior' truly simulates the actions and reactions of a squad
leader and his soldiers in hostile settings through simple and intuitive
controls," said Josh Resnick, president, Pandemic Studios. "By taking advantage
of Xbox Live!, `Full Spectrum Warrior' allows players from around the world to
simulate co-operative urban combat missions."
"Our challenge was to create a radically new Squad level experience -- complete
with a highly unpredictable and dangerous environment -- on a game console,"
adds James H. Korris, Institute for Creative Technologies creative director.
"Our business model allows us to choose best-of-class organizations as our
production partners; Pandemic Studios was the obvious choice."
