BlowOut Announced

[Dec 17, 2002, 1:38 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

This press release announces production of BlowOut, an upcoming console and PC 3D action game that promises to take "the side-scrolling shooter genre to a distinctively new level." Here's a bit: "In BlowOut, gamers assume the role of Major John 'Dutch' Cane, a leader of a mercenary commando platoon, fighting against the deadliest enemies the universe has ever seen. A U.S. Marine Space Force headquarters has been overrun by the vicious mutant Xenomorphs, leaving a gap in the operational defenses. Gamers must use specialized sensor equipment and massive firepower to locate and take out the enemy before they have a chance to zero in on the station's control center and threaten colonized space." Update: Turns out this is the same "Doom, Abuse and Starship Troopers combo" announced in April (story).

Seriously, isn't this game old news though? I think I remember hearing something about it ages ago... must have blown it out as chunks, cuz I've forgotten now.

Yup, the game was announced this Spring, today's announcement is actually just the publishing deal.

Although, the bit later on in the press release about the creature designer sounds intriguing... maybe some pictures..

Are available on this very site.
