Greed Corp Coming To Xbox Live And PSN In 2010
The Amsterdam based development and publishing studio, W!Games, announced today that their turn-based strategy game is being ported over to the Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3. The game is scheduled to appear on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network in the early half of 2010.
According to the press release…
The first in a series of games based in the rich Mistbound universe, Greed Corp is set in a world of feudal warfare and environmental destruction through industrial consumption. As one of four warring factions your aim is territorial domination, but at what cost?
The description for this game is totally kick-butt: the objective sees players having to harvest to earn credits and build up an army like any other strategy-based game. However, the game uses land-collapsing technology and players can literally destroy the land under their enemies or the enemies can do the same to players. Gamers will have to find a balance of maintaining resource management without totally obliterating the entire landscape.
Manufacturing walkers, transports, harvesters and other use mechanical tools will aid players in their conquest for total domination. To be an indie title, it sounds kind of cool. You can learn more about Greed Corp by visiting the Official Website.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
