The Xbox 360 is becoming a hotbed for shooter games as lots of developers are working on that genre. Now a Poland-based developer, Gingerbread Studios, has sent word about a new first/third person shooter called as The Protector for the Xbox 360 and PC platforms. It is expected to have visceral action, tense, tactical stealth and an absorbing storyline.
James Cato is the chief executive officer of Gingerbread Studios. He explains, “Gingerbread Studios has taken the theme of South American mythology and masterfully injected it into a contemporary setting that reflects the escalating threat of global terrorism within the modern day world. The Protector’s two distinct playable characters and eclectic mix of action and stealth make it highly unique, while its branching, thrilling plot promises to keep gamers captivated till the end credits roll.”
The Protector has two main characters, Jonathan Kane, a hardened British mercenary and Jennifer Guile, a pretty US archaeologist. The two take on a new terrorist organization called Scarlet Vengeance.
Here are the features of The Protector for PC and Xbox 360:
Play as both Jonathan Kane – a hardened British mercenary and former MI6 agent trained in counter-terrorist tactics – and Jennifer Guile – a beautiful and wily US archaeologist.
Two distinct gameplay modes – searing, tactical shooting action (Kane) and tense, stealth sections (Jennifer)
Use your environment to hide and take cover. Enter into third-person mode when in cover to acquire a better overview of your surroundings. Lean out from behind cover to engage your enemies with minimal exposure. Blind fire around corners when severely pinned down.
Superb world physics where objects are splintered, shattered and sent flying by barrages of bullets and explosions, creating massively believable battlefields. The player can even shoot enemies – and be shot – through thin walls, adding a further tactical element.
Enemies intelligently seek out and utilize cover – just like you.
Disarm enemies by shooting the weapons from their hands, leaving the enemies vulnerable. Once an enemy has been disarmed, they must either reach for a sidearm or run for cover – both of which take time.
Enemy AI uses lifelike line of sight and hearing to determine your whereabouts. Enemies are more vulnerable in darker areas, while their lifelike reactions to sight and sound also provide the perfect environment for stealth-based gameplay.
Fully interactive world, populated by civilians, commuters, students and workers who intelligently react to their surroundings and situations.
Wide range of enemy types, ranging from elite terrorist forces to mythical Aztec creatures.
Intriguing plot featuring two very different endings, depending on your choices.
Challenging puzzles and mini games.
No information about the release dates for The Protector for the Xbox 360 and the PC. The screenshots look nice, but lets hope that The Protector has great gameplay too.
