Petroglyph Games, en studio bildad av de veteraner som en gång i tiden var med och grundade genren realtidsstrategi med Command & Conquer och Dune II, har utannonserat deras nästa spel efter att de tvingats skrota idén med Kickstarter-titeln Victory. Namnet på deras nya spel är Grey Goo och ska ges ut av nya utgivaren Grey Box, med den inte helt blygsamma målsättningen att återuppfinna genren. Såhär presenteras spelet i pressreleasen:
"Grey Goo has been a real labor of love for us for some time now, and we're incredibly excited to finally start talking about it. We have a rich, lengthy background as RTS developers, dating all the way back to our time on the original Command & Conquer at Westwood Studios. We want to bring back some of what made those ‘traditional' RTS games great while addressing all the lessons we've learned along the way. Grey Goo is an experience informed by the collective history of the RTS genre, infused with innovative ideas and a forward-thinking spirit that accomplish something original by incorporating new amalgams for the genre."
"Grey Goo features three distinct factions - the Beta, Humans and Goo - each with its own truly distinctive style, strategies and "epic" units (very powerful, rare combatants that tower over the battlefield). The game features an immersive single-player campaign and competitive multiplayer options. Both single and multiplayer modes require diligent planning and intelligent decision making to capitalize on the sophisticated build tree system and multiple tech upgrades available. Built from the ground up based on real-world Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) concepts, Grey Goo's adaptive AI studies and reacts to players' actions, learning rather than running off scripts for a truly unique play experience and near-infinite replay value. In short, every game is different."
Låter högintressant. Grey Goo släpps till Steam redan denna höst och här nedan hittar du den första trailern från spelet ifråga...
