Activision annonce aujourd'hui la sortie durant l'année 2008 d'un jeu reprenant l'époque et les évènements de l'American Civil War, plus connu sous le nom de Guerre de Sécession chez nous. Qui ne connait pas le Général Lee ou le Général Grant qui menaient respectivement les Sudistes (le Confédérés) et les Nordistes (l'Union).
Pas de camps à choisir, vous serez tantôt sous les commandements des Généraux de l'Union, tantôt sous ceux des Confédérés (Lee et Grant inclus). Ce
HISTORY Civil War : Secret Missions mettra l'accent sur des missions secrètes (d'où son nom) telles que des attaques de trains, vols de cuirassés, détruire l'artillerie ennemie,...
Voici donc un jeu proposant encore de revivre une guerre, mais cette fois ce n'est plus l'éternelle seconde guerre mondiale qui est- faite retournée dans tous les sens. Peut-être une occasion d'en connaitre un peu plus sur ce qui s'est passée durant cette Guerre de Secession qui a tout de même permis d'abolir l'esclavage aux Etats-Unis.
Le communiqué de presse :Activision Publishing Announces HISTORY(TM) Civil War: Secret Missions
New Videogame Will Immerse Players in History's Most Crucial Covert Operations
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug 14, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today that HISTORY Civil War: Secret Missions will be released later this year for the Xbox 360(R) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION(R)3 and PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment systems, and PC. A completely new episode in the HISTORY Civil War franchise, the game will allow players to assume the role of Union and Confederate soldiers fighting behind enemy lines in legendary battles.
"There is a rich history to the Civil War, especially in terms of covert military tactics," said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. "American warfare in the 1860's was brutal yet surprisingly sophisticated, so it was essential for us to capture this duality."
The player's goal in HISTORY Civil War: Secret Missions is to disrupt the armies of both the North and the South by any means necessary, including conducting train raids, stealing ironclad ships, stopping enemy supply lines, destroying enemy artillery and more. All events are drawn from the real life actions of famous partisans, scouts and rangers -- fight as a member of Mosby's Rangers, Sheridan's Scouts and Grant's Secret Service and receive your mission commands from famous generals including Robert E. Lee, "Stonewall" Jackson, and Ulysses Grant.
The action in HISTORY Civil War: Secret Mission accurately reflects the guerrilla tactics of the time period. Weapons include the shotgun, the pepperbox revolver and the coffee mill gun, and there is heavy reliance on scouts and naval warfare.
HISTORY Civil War: Secret Missions, which is not yet rated by the ESRB, will be available for $49.99 on Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment system, $39.99 for Playstation(R)2 computer entertainment system, and $19.99 for PC.
