Sierra
Studios proudly introduces Homeworld, the next dimension
in space combat. The debut release from Vancouver, B.C.-based
Relic Entertainment, this sublime offering uniquely melds
existing genres to create a completely new gaming experience.
An evolutionary
step in gameplay and technology, Homeworld simultaneously
delivers cinematic-quality graphics, stunning special effects,
brilliantly-rendered ships and an innovative interface. In addition,
players have unparalleled freedom to view epic space confrontations
from any position imaginable - whether from an eagle's-eye view
miles above or piggybacked on the roof of a fighter in mid-battle.
Combining
elements of space combat, strategic play and action, Homeworld
promises to deliver elements of our favorite games in a totally
fresh experience. So fresh is the experience, in fact, that Homeworld
is destined to leave gamers thinking: "Why hasn't anyone
thought of this before?"
Homeworld's
epic tale begins in the far reaches of the universe. You were
the benign lords of a peaceful society - located in the center
of a lush spiral galaxy. For as long as anyone could remember,
no one challenged your peaceful existence. But then came the
conquerors. Invading your peaceful society with the sole purpose
of overtaking your world, these insidious outsiders wiped out
billions and relocated the survivors to a cold, lifeless planet
on the edge of the galaxy.
Hundreds
of years later, all knowledge of your previous existence has
been lost. Only vague myths remain, and a single mysterious artifact:
a crystal. From the crystal a faint signal is extracted and deciphered
into an astronomical heading. An immense mothership is built
which will carry millions of people along this unknown path,
towards what may be the Homeworld.
In
addition to the single-player game, a multiplayer option is also
included and allows for up to 8 players to compete simultaneously
via WON.net, Cendant's free online game service. Homeworld
will also offer support for a variety of 3D graphics accelerators.
Specific information on supported cards will be revealed in the
near future. |
