Ubi Soft Entertainment today announced Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths and Legends, an upcoming 3rd person action/adventure game developed by Red Lemon Studios. The game will be released in Spring 2001 for Sony PlayStation and Game Boy Color. Read the press release for more details.
The Roswell Conspiracies unravel when a group of allied intelligence agents discover that extraterrestrial beings are roaming around the earth, stalking humans for food, sport and more sinister agendas. To combat the aliens, the agents form an underground multi-national movement called The Global Alliance. Operating from a bunker in the small town of Roswell, they recruit from the elite police, military forces, British Special Air Service and the FBI. As they set off on a mission to protect the earth and its inhabitants, the nightmare begins! The aliens come in all disguises; some as Vampires and Werewolves, terrifying creatures, humans believed to be the figments of the imaginations based on Myths and Legends. The Game In Roswell - the game, the player takes control of Nick Logan, the main character from the Cartoon series. The player controls ?Nick? through the 3D worlds to locate and trap the aliens. Through a combination of exploration, puzzle solving and fighting, the player will progress through the levels combating each of the bosses. The players? game experience is also enhanced with a variety of mini-games, some of which are in the first person view. When the player comes across a weapon or a puzzle object, it is deposited for them in the player?s ?inventory?. These items can be used, examined or combined to help the player solve the game puzzles. To aid the player through the missions and to enhance the plot, there are in-game engine cut-scenes. Along with the ambient tracks and neuks and crannies for aliens to hide in, the game is packed with suspense. Ø The Characters: The game will feature full 3D models of the following characters. These Characters will be identical in style to that of the animated series and toys. Nick Logan, 25 and a sharp-eyed observer. Logan is a Detection Agent working for the Alliance. Once Nick has a goal he?ll pursue it with almost reckless behaviour. This makes him an excellent bounty hunter. NPCs: Sh?Lainn Blaze, Nick?s partner; Rinaker, the Alliance Excutive; Werewolves/Lycanthropes; Banshees and their Queen, Zombies and Vampires Ø The Levels: The player will play through 5 game environments textured and detailed to look like settings in a cartoon episode. The levels will be long and continuous with natural breaks where the player is stopped from going backwards. These vary between Victorian London, the west coast of Ireland, San Francisco, Mayan temples and Star Alliance HQ. The levels will be modelled with the overall cartoon style in mind and will induce fear and paranoia in the player. Along the way, the player has the chance of upgrading their weapons which includes trying out some alien technology. Ø The Control Method : The player will take control of ?Nick? using a standard directional set-up and ACTION button. The control method will be similar to that of Tomb Raider with more artificial intuition. This will stop the player feeling frustrated when the player character doesn?t make the jump or catch the object. The player character will have the ability to Walk, Run, Shimmy, Crouch, Fight with a selected weapon, Punch and Kick and ?Action?.
