Gaming: Lekker scheuren met Alfa Romeo's in S.C.A.R.
Geplaatst: di jan 25, 2005 11:05
Iets om naar uit te kijken?
Na de Xbox racegame Racing Evoluzione, is S.C.A.R. het volgende project van
ontwikkelaar Milestone. Men ontwikkelt de game voor uitgever Black Bean
Entertainment, dat diens Alfa Romeo licentie op grootse wijze wil gaan
gebruiken. Hoewel men in het persbericht waarin de game aangekondigd wordt
nog weinig over S.C.A.R., wat de afkorting is voor Squadra Corse Alfa Romeo,
vertelt, komen we wel te weten dat de game voor de Xbox, Playstation 2 en PC
uit moet komen. Ook een vage releasedatum is al geprikt: kwartaal twee van
dit jaar.
'S.C.A.R.: Squadra Corse Alfa Romeo' (PS2/Xbox/PC) Announced

Black Bean announced today that it has signed an exclusive deal with Alfa
Romeo to develop a racing videogame based on the prestigious Italian car
brand. Black Bean's acquisition of the worldwide Alfa Romeo rights
underlines its determination to make an impact in the world of multiplatform
videogame development and publishing. Read more for details ...
The game is being developed by award winning developer Milestone, critically
acclaimed for its Screamer franchise, the Superbike series published by
Electronic Arts under the EA Sports brand and the recently released Racing
Evoluzione, an Xbox exclusive game published by Atari.
S.C.A.R. - Squadra Corse Alfa Romeo (this is the title of the game) is in
development for the PS2, Xbox, PC platforms and Mobile and will be released
in the second quarter of 2005.
"We are thrilled to be working with such a strong brand", said Marco Minoli,
Head of Marketing at Black Bean. "Italy is traditionally a country with a
few number of companies working on the development and publishing segment;
our intention is to create synergy with local strengths, such as car design
and styling and prestigious brand like Alfa Romeo which have a high level of
awareness both nationally and internationally".
"Working on S.C.A.R. with Alfa Romeo is really exciting", said Antonio
Farina, Milestone's President, "it is in fact a dream come true for us: to
combine the leading-edge of Italian technology both in real life racing and
in simulation to produce a game which celebrates the Italian leadership in
driving; Alfa Romeo is not only a winning company nowadays (being one of the
leading brands in the World Touring Car Championship, ndr), but a glorious
brand from the early years of racing, and this will be reflected in the
game".
"Driving an Alfa Romeo", said Hans Hoegstedt, head of Marketing and
Communication in Alfa Romeo, "is not like driving an ordinary car in an
ordinary context. It is pure driving desire turned into a car which is also
the expression of one's personality. When you are in the driving seat, your
hands on the leather steering wheel, you are at one with your Alfa Romeo:
the road before your eyes, the tyres's grip on the road, your heart beating
at the same rpm of your engine."
"This new alliance with Black Bean, allows us to offer our clients as well
as all those who share our passion for driving the chance to re-live the
unique experience of being at the steering wheel of an Alfa Romeo"

Moet deze game niet S.C.A.R.B. gaan heten?
