Vivendi Universal
Games Signs Exclusive Worldwide Development Agreement With Legendary Rock Band
Metallica is the press release with more details, along with the official
announcement, of plans for a game involving the heavy metal band (thanks Frans).
Here's the deal:
Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) today announced that it has signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with renowned rock band Metallica. The contract grants VU Games the worldwide rights to publish and distribute a multi-platform vehicle combat action game featuring music, voice-overs and inspiration from the band. Scheduled for release in 2005, the game will be produced in collaboration with Segnana, Inc. ( www.segnana.com ), a company that partners with Metallica on interactive and online endeavors.
The new title -- a high action, third person vehicle combat game packed with fully customized vehicles and weaponry, endless terrain and desperate, murderous opponents -- will include voice-overs from band members, incidental background music and other exclusive content from Metallica. Under terms of the contract, Metallica will also record an original song exclusively for the game along with a music video featuring elements from the interactive experience. A sneak-peek trailer of the title will appear on Metallica's new album, St. Anger, which hits store shelves on June 5, 2003, and will also be featured during the band's "Summer Sanitarium Tour" kicking-off July 4th in Detroit, Michigan.
Thanks Shnapple, I had heard a game developer had a preview but I didn't know which one. I'm listening to it now, gotta say I like it too. As for the game, I'll play a demo before i make any real choices on if it sucks or not. But I won't hold my breath.
