SouthPeak Games today announced its plans for the New York Comic Con
show on February 6-8, 2009. Located at Booth 1349, SouthPeak will
display
 some of their upcoming 2009 titles with both hands-on demos
and producer-led demonstrations, along with special trailers
featuring never before seen game footage.
Several members from the anime-inspired X-Blades development
team will be present, along with Melinda Cohen, the model and
in-game voice talent for Violette Summer in Velvet Assassin.
Ninjatown creator Shawn Smith will have a signing session on
Saturday from 2-3pm. In addition to an early look at the Sci-Fi
First-Person Shooter Section 8, Comic Con will also mark the
first time that the new Roogoo titles Roogoo Twisted
Towers for Wii and Roogoo Attack! for NintendoDS - will
be on public display. SouthPeak is also coordinating an X-Blades
tournament at the show where players will compete to win a rare
figurine of Ayumi, the heroine from the game.
Were very excited to be attending the New York Comic Con again
this year, said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. It gives us
a chance to let fans see and experience some of our hottest 2009
titles well before they are scheduled to hit store shelves.
The
following is a list of titles that will be at the show:
X-Blades (Xbox360, PLAYSTATION3 & Windows-Based PC February
2009)
Ayumi,
the main character, is an adventurous relic hunter in search of an
artifact believed to hold the fate of the world in its grasp.
Featuring anime noir, film-quality animation and high-speed
gameplay, players can upgrade magic abilities to fight off elemental
beasts and design their own control scheme, mapping magic attacks to
the buttons they want. X-Blades is being developed by Gaijin
Entertainment and TopWare Interactive.
Roogoo Attack! (NintendoDS Spring 2009)
Based
on the critically acclaimed XboxLIVE! Arcade for Xbox 360
game and developed by SpiderMonk Entertainment, players help the
Roogoo by guiding colorful meteors through rotating platforms in
an effort to stop the evil Meemoos from draining their planets
energy. Roogoo on NintendoDS boasts the same 3D gameplay as
its console counterpart utilizing both screens along with over 100
levels, new backgrounds and unique puzzle shapes exclusive to
NintendoDS. New gameplay features include skydiving, unique item
stacking modes, and both single and multi-card play. Multiplayer
includes six different attacks to combat your opponents. Owners of
both the Wii and NintendoDS versions will have access to extra
gameplay modes as well as additional unlockable levels.
Roogoo Twisted Towers! (Wii Spring 2009)
Utilizing unique motion-sensitive Wii controls, players can rotate
platforms, net butterflies, hammer evil Meemoo, and play in entirely
new ways. Take on giant level bosses, fighter planes, and many new
gameplay twists that builds upon the addicting action found in the
original. Up to four players can play that feature adversarial,
cooperative and party play modes.
Velvet Assassin (Xbox360 & Windows-Based PC Spring 2009)
Developed by Hamburg, Germany-based Replay Studios, players take
control of Violette Summer, a beautiful spy deep behind enemy lines
during World War II. Intense stealth-action gameplay with a
startling real-time lighting system and surreal visuals combine to
produce an incredible gaming experience. Through third-person
gameplay, sneak up on enemies and pull the pins from their belted
grenades. Infiltrate a Gestapo prison and slip cyanide to your own
men before the Germans make them talk. Slink through the shadows to
finish off your unsuspecting enemies with a single, silent move.
Section 8 (Xbox360 & Windows-Based PC Fall 2009)
Section 8 is a large-scale, sci-fi First-Person Shooter where
fast-paced action meets military strategy in the far reaches of the
galaxy. Join the epic battle between the 8th Armored Infantry and
the Arm of Orion by taking part in fierce squad-based combat across
majestic alien worlds. With customized loadouts, on-demand vehicle
requisitions, strategic asset deliveries, and Dynamic Combat
Missions, no two games of Section 8 will ever play the same. |
