Project Witches headed Wii-ward
The DS may allow you to innocently fondle witches, but thanks to Spanish developer Revistronic, you'll soon be able to slap on a metal bra and fight them. In the recently-announced Project Witches, players fight against a ravening horde of satanic creatures bent on taking over the world. Revistronic promises a fully-interactive environment -- you can even wield severed limbs as weapons, and just wait 'til Jack Thompson hears about that one -- and an all-new game engine that will apparently squeeze as much as possible out of next gen platforms. Project Witches has been announced for PC, PS3, Xbox 360 ... and yes, our own Wii. We're interested in seeing what they have in store for Nintendo's latest, considering that the focus and thrust of the Wii's power is rather different than that of the other two next-gen platforms. Cooperation is said to be one of the major themes in Project Witches, and that means online co-op play. Let's hope that heads our way as well!
Revistronic brings Donkey Xote to PSP
Spanish developer Revistronic is bringing Donkey Xote to PSP, in addition to the DS, PC and PS2 consoles. While most young scholars may recall the tale of Don Quixote, Revistronic is delivering an alternative take on this classic story, incorporating the fresh perspective of Sancho's donkey, Rucio. According to Revistronic, players will, "face the challenge of meeting Dulcinea" with an adventure that will "lead from Sancho's house" and include "a jousting tournament in Barcelona." Sounds intriguing. [Thanks, Other Colin]
Want to burn some Witches, or some evil zombie demons?
There's nothing quite like controlling a sexy heroine in a scantily-clad battle against the forces of darkness. Considering a 2008 release on multiple platforms is a game with just that premise, currently titled project Witches. As it's posted on the project's site, we'll sit here and summarize the overview and key features like good little boys.A third-person tactical action game set in medieval times beckons you to control Gwen, the uh, sultry main heroine who resists the dark power of some creatures known as Hordes of the Beast (the Beast being, of course, Satan) and sets off on a quest to free mankind from the slavery they are under. You can play it offline and online -- the levels are set up so cooperative play is pretty much imperative. But if you'd rather go it alone, you have some NPC buddies that would love to join in.We're not sure what to make of this, but from the early screenshots, clothes are pretty much optional. You know those movies that have a decent, if overdone, premise but spice it up by having girls get naked or really unnecessary deaths, club dancing, or sex? Well, they try to spice it up. We're worried this game will suffer from that. It'll be all "yeah it's a hack n' slash with team elements... but our girls are wearing thongs and nothing else! So it's better." Hmm. We'll see.
Project Witches Announced
Team Xbox got their hands on the first screens and details on Project WITCHES, which is being developed by Revistronic, who are based in Spain. Primary bullet points include that the game is built upon the concept of cooperative play over Xbox Live. The environment will have a stark contrast between the sultry (read: scantily clad females) withes against evil creatures in a dark and dirty medieval setting. Some of the promises made sound a little PR heavy, but still pique our interest. Thankfully, Project WITCHES is just a working title.
