Throwback game publisher Ziggurat Interactive announces
Terminal Velocity:
Boosted Edition, an updated version of Terminal Velocity, is expected on PC
and consoles on March 14th. Here's the
Steam Listing. This 6DoF indoor/outdoor flying shooter was originally
released in 1995, near the peak popularity of this subgenre. Word is: "Updated
for modern platforms, will have players at the forefront of aircraft-based
combat, taking to the skies and soaring through realistic environments. It’s all
about action, speed, and destruction!" The
Teaser Trailer reveals that while the graphics are upscaled, this still will
not be mistaken for a brand new game. Here's more on the plan:
In Terminal
Velocity™: Boosted Edition, players will strap themselves into a fully
decked-out fighter ship and battle through nine enemy-plagued planets across the
galaxy. Set in the far future, the Earth is under siege as adversarial armadas
from the surrounding systems have begun to strike. As a top-flying ace from the
Ares Squadron, players will take control of the fastest — and most dangerous —
aircraft ever made. Outgunned and outmanned, only a true fighter can make it out
alive!
Unique to most flight simulators, Terminal Velocity™: Boosted Edition puts
combat at the forefront. With low inertia flight mechanics that allow players to
bank, roll, and loop easily across treacherous maps, and a straightforward
control layout, they’ll be thrust bow-first right into the action. To support
them in battle, they’ll have access to seven destructive weapons and multiple
power-ups to conquer deadly enemy fighters in the air and on the ground. They’ll
feel the ultimate power of flight as they take to the skies and soar through
realistic environments and put their aerial skills to the test as they travel
through dozens of tunnels and underground caverns. It’s all about action, speed,
and destruction!
