Game Developer NetDevil has announced a new first person shooter called as Warmonger, Operation: Downtown Destruction for the PC. The game has an apocalyptic theme and will be built around the Ageia PhysXTM processor.
Game Overview:
- The year is 2029 and the Global Corporate Wars have begun! “Warmonger” is set against an apocalyptic setting, when two of the largest military spenders, PolyChem Oil and General Energy, clashed in a dispute over a large cache of Iranian oil fields. When the conflict escalated, an all-out war took shape on US soil. The game is staged for players to take down an entire city; one block at a time. As maps are won, a larger tactical influence is then triggered in the next, or surrounding, map(s). Each map instance will play differently as the sheer destruction of map elements forces players to adapt and find new ways to win or defend their objectives. Every round leads you closer to dominating the web of maps that make up the entire city and players have the ability to raise their ranking in a class, gaining extra abilities for high performance.
Scott Brown, president of NetDevil says, “Our ability to combine the AGEIA PhysX engine with Unreal Engine 3 (UE3) will forever change the way people think and play first-person shooters. New rigid body technology and execution allow for scope of destruction unlike any other FPS currently available. As a player, you’ll be able to feel the freedom of completely adaptive environments and the full use of conscious, destructive power.”
Manju Hegde, CEO of AGEIA said, “NetDevil has poured their imagination into this title, and it shows in virtually every aspect of the game. We have been very impressed with what they have been able to do with our PhysX processor, as well as visual enhancements they have made to the game by combining it with the Unreal Engine 3. The advantages of the destruction system are remarkable and added PhysX elements of fluids and cloth will give a depth and feel that truly reflect the cutting edge of gaming interactivity.”
Warmonger, Operation: Downtown Destruction will also have dynamic gameplay. So if you are playing with a sniper gun, and blow down your floor, nothing will happen. However, if you have a rocket launcher, then you will probably make a hole in the floor, fall down, and die.
NetDevil, who has previously developed MMO games like Auto Assault, are yet to announce a publisher and a release date for the game.
