NCsoft sends along the roster of games they will be showing off at next month's
E3, which offers first details on Auto Assault, NetDevil's Mad Max-style MMORPG, and reveals an
evil City of Villains expansion for City of Heroes:
Auto Assault —Combine
fast-paced vehicular combat with high-tech, futuristic weaponry and hundreds of
intense skills and you get Auto Assault – a unique departure from traditional
Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs). Hop in your own
customized cars, semis, and motorcycles and prepare to fight the mutated
creatures and bandits of Auto Assault's post-apocalyptic world. Battle other
players both in arenas and in epic race vs. race wars for control of the regions
in a devastated Earth. Auto Assault uses the power of the Havok™ physics engine
to let you make insane jumps, send obstacles flying and even blast bridges,
buildings, fences and trees with your car-mounted rockets. Anything you can hit,
you can destroy!
City of Villains—Want to play the bad guy in Paragon City? You’ll get your
chance in Cryptic Studios’ City of Villains, currently under development and to
be shown in limited play at E3. While City of Heroes (www.cityofheroes.com)
is ready for an April 28 launch, Cryptic developers already are working on the
first major expansion to the game that will allow players to take on the role of
villain in Paragon’s modern metropolis. Turn the tide on all the heroes and
heroines and lead your crime syndicate into battle in the impressive 3D backdrop
of Paragon City.
