Zentendo was recently tipped off by an extremely reliable source that Disaster: Day of Crisis is coming along very nicely, and some new details were divulged. With Project: H.A.M.M.E.R. being confirmed as cancelled recently by Famitsu, and no new media of Day of Crisis for over a year now, many feared the game was also being scrapped.
Our source has revealed that the scenario of the game has undergone drastic changes in the past year, evolving into a new premise in which natural disasters afford a group of terrorists the window of opportunity to steal nuclear weapons in the United States. These terrorists then use these nuclear weapons to hold the United States hostage unless their demands are met. As the hero of the game, players must not only deal with mother nature and the aftermath, but also work against a ticking clock to stop a nuclear disaster.
The premise sounds like a hybrid of the film The Day After Tomorrow and the TV show 24. In addition to this intense storyline, the game will feature extensive voice acting, as most of the major character roles have finished up principal voice recording for the game. No word on who exactly lent their voice talents to the game. Typically sound work is done in the final stages of a game's development cycle, which means Day of Crisis is coming along faster than anyone could have guessed.
The source indicated that Nintendo plans to release the game sometime between Q1-Q2 2008.
