Blow stuff up in slow-motion? I'm interested.
CODEMASTERS' HEATSEEKER SET TO BLOW GAMERS AWAY
Heatseeker's Impact Cam™ Delivers the Thrill of Watching Expensive Military
Machinery Blown to Bits All in Slow Motion
Burbank, CA Thursday, November 9, 2006 There's no question that
explosions are good. However, watching state-of-the-art military machines
explode into blazing fireballs of fuel and molten metal in cinematic slow
motion is even better. Yes it's been done on the ground, but now it's time
to take it into the stratosphere with Codemasters' upcoming, arcade-style
jet combat game Heatseeker, planned to take off for the Wii™, PlayStation®2
computer entertainment system and the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system in
spring 2007.
Heatseeker's unique Impact Cam™ enables players to get up-close-and-personal
with their kills in bullet-time. Lock-on to a target and fire; hit the
target correctly and the Impact Cam will reward gamers with the spoils of
war watching the destruction with cinematic, flyby camera shots of the
enemy militant disintegrating into flaming pieces of junk.
Heatseeker's camera action puts players right in the combat zone with all
the intense face melting speed that comes from extreme close-quarters flight
combat. Jump in the cockpit, get the enemy in your sight, fire your weapons
and experience what it feels like to be an angry missile screaming towards
its ill-fated target at over a 1000mph.
"We want to give gamers the same explosive experience and special camera
effects that make people want to go watch movies," said Andrew Wensley,
Heatseeker's Senior Producer, Codemasters, Inc. "The Impact Cam delivers
the thrilling sensations that are usually reserved for big budget movies,
and I think Hollywood would be proud of Heatseeker."
Throughout the game players will face a seemingly insurmountable number of
enemy air, land and sea defenses, all with a weak spot for an explosive
payload. Heatseeker's target-rich terrains will deform, blacken and
ultimately fall apart as missile after missile detonates with laser guided
accuracy. Just make sure not to take out any friendlies!
Heatseeker is planned to launch for the Wii, PlayStation 2 system and PSP
system in spring 2007, and is currently rated "RP" (Rating Pending) by the
ESRB. Be sure to take a look at the full arsenal online by visiting the
