1C Company has announeced games, which will be presented at GamesCom in August 2009.
Developer The Farm 51 has released a new patch for it's alternate history WWI FPS NecroVisioN, now available for download.
Strategy Informer has posted the 1.2 patch for NecroVisioN.
Last month, Necrovision received the dubious honour of being the first game in 2009 to be banned by the Australian Classification Board. However, it seems the vampire-infested World War I shooter has joined the likes of Fallout 3, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, and Dark Sector--games that were initially refused classification down under, only to be reclassified after content changes were made.
When it comes to banning games, 2009 has been a fairly quiet one down under. Although last year saw games such as Shellshock 2: Blood Trails, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Dark Sector, F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin, and Fallout 3 refused classification (with several of those eventually making it back into the country after appeals and content changes), 2009 has seen no game raise the ire of the Classification Board. That is, until this week featured confirmation that upcoming PC first-person shooter Necrovision has been effectively banned.
Gameplayer Writes:
The Minimum and Recommended System Requirements for 505 Games and 1C's forthcoming PC First-Person Shooter are listed below:
This demo allows you to play through a few levels of NecroVisioN. Players start off fighting in World War I then stumble into the bowels of hell, where a parallel war is being fought among demons and the undead.
Starting near the beginning of the game, you will have to battle your way through the German lines, dispatching the Kaiser's boys as they cower in their trenches. As you push further forward into enemy lines things take an unexpected and horrific turn as the dead rise from their muddy graves and attacking any living creature they can find. Now you must try and escape through the scores of German soldiers, while fighting off flesh-hungry zombies.
