Interactive Software Inc. Subsidiary TalonSoft Launches GI Combat BALTIMORE-February
1, 2001-TalonSoft Inc, a Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO)
subsidiary today announced today it will develop and publish GI Combat. The
title is expected to ship in Fall 2001. GI
Combat, available initially in PC CDROM format, is a continuous real-time
strategy game, engulfing the player in the dynamic conflicts of the Second
World War. The full three-dimensional environment provides unsurpassed detail
for terrain, armor penetration, vehicle movement, and weapon-fire. "Immerse
yourself in an exciting struggle to hold back blistering offensives, lead
elite squads to capture key strategic targets, or desperately assault a vital
crossroad leading to victory!" said TalonSoft President Jim Rose.
"The player has the chance to live in that moment, and rewrite
history." GI Combat and our new Proprietary 3D World Builder, ASCENSION,
will help Talonsoft redefine mainstream wargaming again! Technology has
finally allowed us to implement our vision of wargaming in the 21st Century. Players
campaign American or German troops through tactical excursions of enemy
artillery barrages, beach landings, snipers, bridge crossings, and loads of
heavy tank fire! Whether it is commanding a group of squads to infiltrate an
enemy outpost, or jumping into the trenches with a single steadfast dogface,
GI Combat excels at delivering the complete combat experience. GI
Combat will feature campaigns with dozen of historical and hypothetical
scenarios beginning at D-Day, and carrying through Patton’s lightening
breakout from the Normandy Beachead. In addition, multiplayer mode is planned
for up to 32 players via LAN or over the Internet allowing players to choose
sides and fight together. Vivid
3D landscaping provides the backdrop for beautifully rendered armored vehicles
such as the German Panther or swift U.S Sherman. Full 3D Sound support will
complete the ultra realistic environment and make you swear those bullets
sound like they are flying over your head! In
related news, Talonsoft also announces the official website for GI Combat has
gone live. For more information, visit this website at http://www.gicombat.com/ About
