[Old Skool]

It would seem that not so many people know what this game is so heres some info for you


Ubi Soft, one of the world's largest video game developers & publishers, today announced Deathrow, a fast-paced team combat sport designed and developed by Swedish game developer SouthEnd Interactive, exclusively for the Microsoft® Xbox. In Deathrow there are no rules and full-contact aggression is not only legal, it's required! The fastest, toughest players are victorious and the slow and weak are defeated. The game combines the lightning-fast gameplay of third-person action games with the cooperative team play and gritty roughness of rugby, offering a unique combat sport experience.

"Deathrow has the perfect combination of aggressive hand-to-hand combat, third person action and cooperative team play to appeal to action, fighting and sports gamers alike," said Anne Blondel, director of third-party development, Europe, at Ubi Soft Entertainment. "This is an incredibly competitive game that will definitely pump up your heart rate as you experience all of the intensity and action it has to offer."


About Deathrow
The object of Deathrow is for you to win matches by whatever means necessary, either by scoring as many points as possible before time runs out, or by severely injuring your opponents and removing them from the field of combat. As the game begins, two teams of four players square off in a combat arena to compete in an intense, unmediated slugfest to determine the champion. As you engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat with highly intelligent AI opponents seeking retribution for not only themselves, but also for their fallen teammates, you'll soon understand the sacrifices necessary to become the supreme team of the league.

Deathrow has a team management component allowing you to customize your own team according to your style of play. You can build your players' statistics from match to match while gaining speed and power bonuses. Injured players can be healed between rounds if you have enough money, or you must save your winnings to buy them back. With more than 130 unique characters, dozens of holds, and over 800 base animations, Deathrow is graphically immersive and intense.

Deathrow also features:

Multiplayer support for up to 8 players

Highly detailed characters, modeled using more than 55 bones each for life-like movement, and up to 7000 polygons each for a realistic character shape.

Facial animation capable of blinking and talking, and expressing pain, anger, happiness and other moods

More than 15 combat sports arena locations, each with their own unique architecture and gameplay elements

13 playable teams, each with their own background, special abilities, and motivation for competing

Automatic victory if you remove all of your opponent's players from the field of combat

Xbox effects such as bump-mapping, specular lighting and bumped reflection mapping

The ability for users to import their own music

Deathrow is scheduled to ship to retail shelves worldwide in Autumn 2002.

This game looks great!

If they pull it off correctly, it will most defanatly be a killer app.

The game sure does look great. It will be interesting to see a hands-on preview of this one.

:unsure: Okay so you like long posts?

I don't like the combination of sport and violence. I gotta admitt that I like violence in certain games, like first person shooters.

I think it's pathetic to make a whole game of a sport which has a goal to injure other players.

Happy?

Already on it Justin. I have assembled a small task force to carefully dissect each and every piece of Angrist's stunning reply. We should know the results within a few days.

[Angrist]

There. Read it.

Um... wtf are you talking about?

What the hell do you think Perfect Dark's Multiplayer is? Or what is the WWF?

Once again, you are just not liking it because it's Xbox. Unless you hate every fighting game or multiplayer FPS ever made, you have no other reason to dislike this game Idea.

Perfect Dark is different, it's not a sport. And fighting games still aren't the same.

Ok man, lets look at the features.... please

How is it different from perfect Dark? A team of four trying to not only injur each other, trying to KILL each other.

I don't understand how you can act like a fighting sport is somthing new...

[Angrist]

Wait a minute... I thought it was a game with a... ball. You mean it isn't? *reads Old Skool's second post* No, no ball in there... so it's basicly a fighting game?? Then I'll like it! Oh wait, it's for X-Box so I don't. j/k it could be cool

What are you talking about? This was posted in the Xbox forum. What the hell would you expect it to be? A GCN game?
