E3 Showcase Title - Dungeon Siege
Dungeon Siege is an action fantasy role-playing game that combines the immersive elements of a role-playing game with the intensity of a real-time strategy game. Dungeon Siege will plunge players into a continuous 3D fantasy world where they adventure to discover what evil has befallen the land. Beginning with a single character, players can travel through the world and gather a party of up to 10 characters or choose to face the challenge alone. The fusion of action role-playing and real-time strategy controls in Dungeon Siege impels players into one over-the-top battle after another as the storyline unfolds.
Game Features:
Immersive & Continuous Fully 3D Environment
The setting of Dungeon Siege is one gigantic, continuous world in which players can seamlessly journey from the highest mountain to the deepest dungeon without ever having to stop to watch a loading screen. Discovering myriad amazing locations to explore — from strange and mysterious castles to sinister, secret underground lairs — players will become immersed in the fantasy of the world that surrounds them.
Intense Game Play — Dungeon Siege Style
Dungeon Siege pushes the envelope of role-playing games with fully animated 3D characters, over-the-top battles, intense special effects and awe-inspiring vertical landscapes. With true 3D environments, a particle system for effects and spells, and dungeons that can extend in three dimensions, Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games are injecting the role-playing game genre with the same level of intensity found in real-time strategy games. Dungeon Siege takes full advantage of the real-time strategy gaming experience with a broad array of familiar game controls such as drag select, way points and formations.
A Band of Friends to Help Save the World
In Dungeon Siege, gamers can customize their party to include up to 10 cohorts in the adventure of a lifetime, picking up valuable characters along the way (and dropping dead weight if they need to). Players who want a troupe heavy in magic skills can bring along all the sorcerers they can find. Solo-minded players can recruit a trusty group of henchmen or bring along a pack mule to help haul their loot.
Action & Adventure Without the Wait
Dungeon Siege is engaging, yet easy to understand; action packed, yet easy to control; deep and involving, yet quick to learn. Get into the action quickly, without bothering yourself with too many decisions. Since your character develops all the skills you'll need along the way, you don't have too worry about making too many decisions up front. Dungeon Siege also takes full advantage of your RTS gaming experience with a broad array of familiar game controls like drag select, waypoints, and formations. With a simple learning curve and no complex puzzles, you can concentrate on the fun stuff — battling monsters, exploring dungeons, and advancing your character.
A Game — and a Gaming Platform
The proprietary Siege Editor in Dungeon Siege gives gamers the freedom to rework nearly every aspect of the game, making Dungeon Siege not only a game, but also a role-playing platform for those who want to create their own characters, spells, dungeons — even entire worlds. Gamers can publish these user-created files to the Web, making them available for anyone to download and explore or play as a multiplayer game.
Full Multiplayer Support
Dungeon Siege will support up to 10 players via LAN or Zone.com. Players can take part in both "short game" multiplayer experiences such as capture the castle and the more traditional, widely played campaign style of play.
