Motorcycle combat mayhem.
3DO GETS JACKED(tm) FOR NEXT GENERATION CONSOLES
Combat-Based Motorcycle Racing Title Coming In 2003
REDWOOD CITY, CA (October 29, 2002) - The 3DO Company (Nasdaq: THDO) today
announced that JACKED(tm), a combat-based motorcycle racing game for the
PlayStation(r)2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox(tm) video game
system from Microsoft, and the Nintendo GameCube(tm) system, is in
development. Bones will be broken as players jack the roughest bikers
around, attacking competitors with any bludgeoning devices they can get
their hands on.
"With bone shattering melee combat and breakneck motorcycle racing, JACKED
will be the roughest, toughest game on the market next summer," said Trip
Hawkins, chief executive officer, The 3DO Company. "We have also added
great details like character evolution. As the player wins more races, the
character looks and gets tougher, with bigger muscles, tattoos and more."
About JACKED
JACKED mixes motorcycle racing and hand-to-hand combat in a rough
competition that determines who is the baddest of the bunch. To edge ahead
in the intense races, players can jack opponents by kicking, punching, or
even bludgeoning them with various weapons like bottles, chains, and golf
clubs. As part of the fun, players can also knock them into environmental
hazards, including saw blades, fire pits, car crushers and more.
In JACKED, computer opponents who take a beating will hold grudges, so
players will need to watch out for them in the next race. The game uses
next generation graphics, so every race is depicted in all its brutal
reality. JACKED is scheduled for release in 2003.
