Video Gaming News - October 2005
Calabasas, CA (October 4, 2005) - THQ and Relic
Entertainment today announced that The Outfit will be featured at Microsoft's
X05 event held October 4 and 5 in Amsterdam.
"THQ is committed to developing ground-breaking original titles for Xbox
360 and taking full advantage of the system's capabilities," said Kelly Flock,
executive vice president of worldwide publishing, THQ. "The Outfit pushes the
hardware to its limits and expands the genre significantly, combining an epic
storyline with the freedom of total destruction to fully capture the cinematic
intensity of war."
"More memory, more power, and better tools mean we can focus on a high
definition experience that immerses players in the game at a more intense
level than ever before," said Ron Moravek, general manager, Relic
Entertainment. "Destruction on Demand and the Freedom of Total Destruction in
The Outfit isn't something we could have done justice to on any system prior
to Xbox 360."
From THQ:
The Outfit sets itself apart in three major ways from other action/shooter
games on Xbox 360:
- Destruction on Demand -- As players progress through the game and
complete mission objectives, they'll earn field units (FUs) that can
be used on the fly to call-in "Destruction on Demand" -- weaponry
air-dropped into the action at any time. Everything is available from
tanks, jeeps, half-tracks and other combat vehicles to machinegun
nests, anti-tank emplacements, squad reinforcements, air strikes and
artillery strikes on enemy targets.
- Freedom of Total Destruction -- Featuring interactive and fully
destructible environments, The Outfit gives gamers the freedom to
shoot, blow up or demolish anything in the world. Destroy buildings,
bridges, walls and fences -- everything in the world can be leveled in
the player's battle against the Nazi forces.
- Choose Between Three Playable Squad Leaders -- Each possesses specific
skills and abilities (i.e. Close-combat specialist, Heavy-arms
specialist or Anti-tank specialist.) Players will lead a squad of
battle-forged soldiers on a variety of combat missions -- ranging from
reconnaissance and rescue to search and destroy. With automated squad
AI, players' squad will act like a highly trained infantry unit that
responds to actions as well as dynamic battlefield situations --
laying down suppressing or covering fire, taking cover or rushing
enemy positions.
Because of the versatility of Xbox 360, players can experience the
cinematic intensity of WWII combat through 12 epic single-player missions or
online with Xbox Live(R) for a variety of multiplayer modes, including co-op.
Taking gaming to the next generation as an Xbox 360 title, The Outfit will be
viewed in high-definition (16:9, 720pHD) and heard with 5.1 Dolby
surround-sound.
