DreamCatcher Games Announces Universal Combat
DreamCatcher Games today announced the first details of
the newly titled Universal Combat, for the PC-CD, with the unveiling of the new
website. A full-featured demo is expected to follow in
the first week of October.
Universal Combat brings together the greatest components of any war, together in a
single game. Conceived in late 2001 as Battlecruiser Generations, the game has morphed into much more than a massive space
sim., and its action-based focus caters to a far broader audience.
The game is one of incomprehensible scale that allows gamers to choose any aspect
of combat they wish. Choices of combat styles and gameplay include:
- Compelling multi-player games against up to 63 other gamers.
- Carefully designed campaign and instant action scenarios.
- More than 54 different air and space crafts, from basic multi-role combat
fighters and low altitude multi-role gunships to massive carriers, cruisers and
transporters.
- 22 land vehicles and 10 naval vessels including jeeps, tanks, SAMs, carriers,
LCACs and even nuclear submarines.
- 20 first person weapons and 28 characters with over 1500 animations.
- 250 planets with enormous planetary detail spanning more than 21,000
planet side mission zones containing various bases.
- 9 careers modes including heroic pilots, ship’s captain or lethal recon marine.
Universal Combat has evolved from a classic, and in the midst of developing the
initial BCG game, we realized that we were onto something much bigger, that a
larger gaming audience would thrive upon, commented Richard Wah Kan,
DreamCatcher’s President and CEO.
