Toronto, Ontario (July 19, 2004) - Today, Digital Extremes revealed
more details on the Pariah MAP (Make and Play) Editor.
From Digital Extremes:
Inspired by the editing tools provided in all the Unreal Tournament PC games,
the objective of the Pariah M.A.P. Editor is to provide an extremely easy way
for players to make their own unique multiplayer maps and then share them with
friends.
Made popular by the PC 'mod' community online, Digital Extremes designed a way
for Xbox owners to share the experience of creating and modifying multiplayer
levels. Now with the Pariah MAP Editor, Xbox players will have the opportunity
to create their own levels and share their maps through system link, memory
cards or Xbox Live. PC players will get the best of both worlds, the Pariah MAP
Editor as well as the full suite of Unreal Ed tools.
The underlying principle for the Pariah MAP Editor tool set is: simple, but
powerful. The Editor will provide the player with a great deal of flexibility
while allowing for ease of use and a low enough learning curve that anyone can
make their own unique multiplayer map for Pariah.
The full feature set for the Editor is still being finalized however, some of
the primary features, gamers can expect to have the ability to manipulate
include terrain, texture changes, object placement, lighting, environment
settings and player start points.
Along with the MAP Editor, Pariah's vehicles and customizable weapons come
together to create the ultimate multiplayer experience online and off. Some of
the multiplayer gametypes include traditional favorites such as Deathmatch and
Capture The Flag as well as new gametypes like Siege and Frontline Assault.
"While the game is centralized around an intricate storyline and an immersive
single-player experience, it would be against our nature not to include a robust
multiplayer component in the game," said James Schmalz, founder and creative
director of Digital Extremes. "Our goal with Pariah is to deliver the full
gaming package: inventive, immersive and above all, fun."
