Scourge: Outbreak due in a 'couple' months on PSN, XBLA, Mac
A PlayStation Blog post provides us more representative images from Tragnarion's upcoming downloadable shooter Scourge: Outbreak, showing what appears to be actual gameplay beyond the environments and corpses originally shown.Lead game designer Omar Salleh also provided additional detail about the unique storytelling mechanic, which presents a different aspect of the narrative through each playable character's flashbacks. "These memories are designed to fit together as a kind of jig-saw puzzle," he said, "so the best way to get the full picture is to discuss them with your buddies. Some show dubious details about yourself, while others cast doubt on your squad-mates. Who's the real enemy? What's going on? What did you see?"Scourge: Outbreak is due to launch "in a couple of months' time," as a PS3 download, as well as on XBLA and Mac.
Scourge: Outbreak spreads to PSN, XBLA, Mac this summer
Tragnarion Studios, who you may (may!) remember from the DS game Doodle Hex, is working on a futuristic third-person shooter for XBLA, PSN (PS3), and Mac. Yes, those are the correct platforms.Scourge: Outbreak introduces the "Echo Squad," a group of mercenaries hired to take out the Nogari Corporation, conveniently located on Nogari Island. Four players can team up to infiltrate the "alien-infested facilities," locate a double agent, destroy the Nogari, and gain control of the "Ambrosia" power source. Functionally, this means co-op shooting, with story segments coming through as flashbacks from the four separate characters.Scourge: Outbreak will allow players to stop both the scourge and the outbreak this Q3, "later this summer."%Gallery-155912%
