Microsoft has confirmed not one, but two huge games for the Xbox 360. First one is the Japanese action-stealth game Vampire’s Rain while the second game is the Project Sylpheed. Vampire Rain has been developed by Artoon while Square Enix has developed Project Sylpheed.
Here are the details of the two new games for the Xbox 360:
Vampire Rain:
- Gamers can embark on a pulse-pounding mission in “Vampire Rain,” leading a highly trained black-ops unit on a secret mission to eradicate the deadliest supernatural enemies ever faced: the deeply fast and super agile Nightwalkers. Gamers must navigate all areas of an eerie and rain soaked city by moving across rooftops and through back alleys, avoiding detection to ensure the best strategic use of high-tech weaponry. Developed by Artoon, “Vampire Rain” unites stealth, survival horror and shooter aspects of several classic games to bring an powerful and spine-tingling experience that can be enjoyed alone or with friends over Xbox LIVE. Who can keep their cool under the heat of the dog days with Nightwalkers in hot pursuit?
Project Sylpheed:
- Reminiscent of summer days spent hunched-over a coin-op machine in a dark arcade, “Project Sylpheed” is a 3-D makeover of the classic, mid-‘80s scrolling shooter franchise “Silpheed.” The game launches gamers through an exciting space combat experience driven by a deep, multilayered storyline. Feast on more than 50 minutes of visually stunning Japanese CG animation footage that propels the engaging story forward between space combat missions. As Katana Faraway, players must pilot a Delta Saber space fighter equipped with a highly customizable arsenal of weapons. In order to succeed, players must perform squadron commands and monitor their speed, shield, radar and weapons as they maneuver out of demanding situations and defend Earth against the evil ADAN forces.
Vampire Rain and Project Sylpheed are expected to release for the Xbox 360 this summer. The games are priced at $39.99 (approx. Rs. 1800). Two Xbox 360 titles and that too from big developers, it seems like that Microsoft is not taking the next-gen console wars lightly.
