Forums - Gaming - Shadow Harvest aanounced (PC/360)

Release Date: Q1/2009

Shadow Harvest* is a highly immersive 3rd-person tactical action game set in the year 2025 on various current and future points of conflict around the globe. The game is in development for PC and XBOX 360. Featuring dual character control, amazingly realistic graphics and a refreshingly different storyline, Shadow Harvest is a completely new interpretation of the tactical-action genre. Being an ISA* agent, the first character, Myra Lee, has a background in espionage and stealth operations, while the other character, Aron Alvarez, is a hard-boiled close combat specialist of US Army's Delta Force. Both characters are deployed as elite black-ops agents on various hot spots worldwide and behind enemy lines to cooperatively complete covert operations. The screenshots shown are actual in-game footage (not post-processed):




To optimally achieve all mission goals, the player needs to combine Myra's stealth skills, athletic abilities and cleverness with Aron's blunt open battle approach. In many situations the nail biting about whether to go in hot with guns blazing or to use suppression techniques and alternative paths is up to the player. Thanks to its open level design with multi-paths and optional secondary objectives, Shadow Harvest also offers great replayability.

With Myra and Aron having a different style, a totally different approach on combat tactics and (obviously) a different gender, one big focus of the game are the witty yet snorty dialogues between the two agents.

Despite its highly detailled and realistic look, Shadow Harvest does not strive to be a hardcore military sim nor does it want to be just another dual-character-shooter. Featuring real stealth and action-adventure elements, its refreshingly new mix of features allows never before seen possibilities in interactive storytelling and lets the player dive into a highly thrilling storyline in an unforgettable immersive and unique gaming experience.

Could you do a favor for me?  My crystal ball recently broke and I was wondering if you could tell me if I should dump that tech stock I've been holding for a while.  I was going to mention the particular stock, but I figure if you're *this* good at predicting the future, you probably already know the name of the stock. 

 



The characters play differently (one is stealth the other run and gun) and there are multiple paths so it has some differences that will hopefully keep it from being just another Gears of War clone.



Is this the counter MGS4 title we have been hearing rumours about?

That's like saying Haze is identical to Resistance 2, or Sonic is identical to Mario.

I'm going to go on a limb and say you've never played Gears of War. And if you did please tell me what part was I suppose to use stealth? Or what part didn't involve fighting a monster that came from beneath the earth.

Now if you would of said a Call of Duty 4 / Splinter Cell clone then yes that would be more accurate. This game (is going to try) takes the best from both and blend them into one game. <--- aweesooomme!!

Looks pretty cool Legend thanks. Is it just me or have the amount of PS360 ports dropped and the amount of PC360 ports gone up in recent months?

Agreed.  This appears to be a Western attempt at an MGS4 style game.  At least that's what it sounds like.  I hope it turns out good, but I really need more info.  I wish devs would release gameplay videos everytime they announced games.  >_<

 little difference between shooting at humans and shooting at humans that look like aliens, so the stealth might be a splinter cell clone, to clones mixed together still results in a clone,

and the visuals style appears nearly identical to gears of war
