Lethal spacecraft and weaponry!
StarLancer combines the action of
first-person space combat with the drama and intrigue of a
classic air combat movie. Countries from around the world
including the United States, China, Russia and Great Britain have
formed strategic alliances and now battle for control of Earth,
Mars and other planets across the solar system. As part of a
newly formed, ragtag aviation unit, the 45th Volunteers Squadron,
players must prove themselves and earn the respect of their peers.
This dramatic story based on the dynamic history of the 20th century warfare
includes over 25 minutes of Holly-quality computer generated cinematics and 40
custom composed music tracks. Pilot 12 different fighters and dogfight
with enemy fighters that each have their own "artificial intelligence"
profile for more realistic space combat. Join the fight for the
future. Enlist.
- Stunning 3-D graphics and
effects. StarLancer will provide a level of graphic
details and effects not currently found in space combat
games with particle effects, dramatic source lighting and
realistic ship destruction. More than 80 types of
spacecraft are rendered in extraordinary 3-D detail
throughout the game.
- Dynamic mission structure.
StarLancer missions are designed to challenge players,
create a wide variety of gameplay and enhance the story
lines. Players fly in over 25 gripping missions that
range from escorting marine boarding ships to free POWs
to leading an assault on space stations built right into
an asteroid field.
- Immersive story line.
StarLancer features a dramatic story based on the dynamic
history of 20th century warfare. To enhance the story,
StarLancer includes over 25 minutes of Hollywood-quality
full-motion computer-generated cinematics, over 250
unique pilot animations and 36 custom-composed original
music scores.
- Living universe. Rather than
the standard environment in current space combat games
with space being fairly empty beyond the enemy fighters,
the universe in StarLancer feels alive and will be more
interesting for players to participate in. Neutral craft
can be seen going about their business by performing
functions such as unloading freighters or escorting
convoys.
- Multiplayer capabilities.
Players can work together cooperatively through the
entire campaign with up to 4 players or dogfight in 6
different deathmatch modes with up to 8 players via LAN
or the MSN Gaming Zone (Zone Web site).
- State-of-the-art space flight
engine. Whether players are engaged in a dogfight
with swarming enemies or escorting a torpedo run on a
massive capital ship, the StarLancer 3-D engine provides
unparalleled fluidity in gameplay with balanced,
consistent frame rates.
- Interactive ship environments.
Players will be able to navigate key parts of their
capital ship with immersive 3-D walkabout environments.
Players will have their own interactive bunkroom with a
locker for medals, CD player, simulator pod for flight
practice and even a fish tank.
- Lethal spacecraft and weaponry.
Players may choose from more than a dozen ships using a
unique 3-D drag-and-drop interface. They can arm their
ships with more than 20 weapons, including nova cannons,
pulse lasers, collapser guns and jackhammer missiles.
- Experienced developers. From Erin and Chris Roberts
who are widely credited as the inventors of the space
combat genre with their tremendously popular Wing
Commander and Privateer series of games.
