The Bourne Conspiracy 'Takedown Trailer' demonstrates groin punching engine
Those who wouldn't consider themselves fans of office equipment-related acts of violence should probably go ahead and skip this video altogether -- but if you're the kind of person who owns multiple copies of the Jean Claude Van Damme masterpiece "Bloodsport", feel free to treat yourself to the above trailer for Sierra's adaptation of Robert Ludlum's popular series of espionage novels, The Bourne Conspiracy. Who knew literature could be so ... pugilistic?We're still waiting for that lackluster gameplay montage or negative hands-on writeup to confirm our general apprehension towards adapted games, but with the continuing font of sizzle trailers Sierra is churning out, our steadfast trepidation is waning. Damon be damned -- we can't wait for Conspiracy's June 3 release date.
Bourne Conspiracy trailer flaunts ambitious gameplay
It can be quite a painful ordeal to desire games derived from pre-sold text such as books, television, and movies. The Bourne Conspiracy is one such game, as we want it oh so badly to turn out amazing -- especially after watching this intense trailer. We're thoroughly impressed by the offerings presented, but the tainted history of licensed games always nags at our thoughts. Could this be the exception? Maybe.In this latest trailer, we see this title's ambitious gameplay at work as it mimics the fast-paced action seen in the Bourne flicks. The gameplay is wisely wrapped around honing the feeling of being Jason Bourne -- that means turning anything and everything into a deadly weapon, as well as the ability to escape out of nearly impossible situations. The kinds of moves you can pull off, especially the hand-to-hand combat, look amazingly fun to pick up and try out. As much as we are enamored by this new peek at The Bourne Conspiracy, we'll wait until we test this baby out for ourselves before hopping back on the licensed games bandwagon.[Thanks Dahk!]
The Bourne Conspiracy to conspire on 360
Sierra Entertainment has announced Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy for Xbox 360 (and PS3 ... blah, blah). Developed by High Moon Studios, creators of the vampiric western, Darkwatch, the game puts players in the shoes of brainwashed government assassin, Jason Bourne. The game promises to let players experience Bourne's evolution from deadly assassin to rogue agent. Given the visual similarities to Splinter Cell Conviction and the attachment of Robert Ludlum's name to the title, it looks like Sierra is doing everything it can to establish a competing franchise. With Conviction seemingly borrowing from the Bourne films, it will be interesting to see the inevitable comparisons between the two games when The Bourne Conspiracy ships next summer.More info will be revealed at E3 next month, and a cover story will appear in the August issue of OXM. Check out the first batch of screenshots in the gallery below.[Via Joystiq]%Gallery-4286%
Bourne Conspiracy coming to Xbox 360, PS3
High Moon Studios (which you may remember from Darkwatch) and Sierra Entertainment are doing their best Tom Clancy impersonation, bringing Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne character to the 360 and PS3. But in a refreshing twist, The Bourne Conspiracy goes the Riddick route, eschewing rushing a game out to match a film release and instead aiming for summer 2008.Plot description in the press release makes TBC seem like a prequel of sorts, letting players control the amnesia-prone super agent in his early days. Gameplay details on the game, described as a "third-person espionage action game" are scarce, but more will apparently be revealed at E3 and in the August issue of the Official Xbox Magazine.%Gallery-4294%
