Posted by @ 4:43 PM, EDT
Acclaim today announced development of two new games for the PS2. The games, Shadow Man: 2econd Coming and "Big Wave Surfing" (working title) are due to be released in early 2001.
Acclaim previously announced development of All-Star Baseball 2002 as well a new games based on the Ferrari Formula 1 and 360 Challenge series on the PS2.
A slice of the pressrelease:
"This is a very exciting time for the video game industry - with new console systems poised to hit the market this fall - fueling a true renaissance in software development," said Greg Fischbach, co-chairman and CEO of Acclaim Entertainment. "Acclaim is dedicated to developing quality games that help push the envelope and propel our future growth."
Shadow Man: 2econd Coming
The sequel to 1999's premier horror game Shadow Man, Shadow Man: 2econd Coming follows Mike LeRoi/the Shadow Man into another adventure battling evils in this world and the world of the dead - Deadside. In this second chapter of the Shadow Man story, our hero finds himself going up against the Grigori - a group of demons who have been masquerading as humans for the past 2000 years and who are now attempting to bring back their evil leader Asmodeus from the Pit to bring about the end of the world as prophesied in the Book of Revelation.
"Big Wave Surfing"
Acclaim is also developing a new surfing game for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, tentatively titled Big Wave Surfing, to be released in Spring 2001. The game will make big-wave riding and professional surf competition accessible and thrilling to anyone in the world with any level of game-playing experience. In addition, "Big Wave Surfing" will capture the speed, intensity and thrill of surfing while staying true to the purity of the sport. Acclaim has signed an exclusive deal with surfing champion Sunny Garcia to appear in the game, and will secure similar deals with other surfers in the near future. "Big Wave Surfing" is being developed by Osiris Studios.

| Well actually , Shadowman 2nd coming is a game that could be nice. Ferrari Challenge 360 looks pretty damn cool too, Big Wave Surfing sounds like an original title, if that's possible nowadays. | |

| Well, I think FerrariChallenge360 looks pretty stunning, when you look at the cars. But as in life, the circiuts arent really interesting as a scenery... (Except of Autopolis in Japan...) But as the screens of "the Getaway" (i know, it has another name now...but what?), they could be rendered (look at the sky!). As a racing-fan Im interested, if you can drive as "Keiko Ihara" whom Im a great fan of!. And im looking forward to that game, because: handling is everything! And therefore there is nothing negative, i could see... The other game, Im interested in is "Big Wave Surfing", because I once learned to surf, but now I have no sea or lake to use my skills, short: I like surfing and Im looking forward to it!!! |
