Bucuresti, ROMANIA —13 Ianuarie 2004 — Ubisoft, lider mondial pe piata jocurilor video, a dezvaluit ieri ca Cyan Worlds, Inc., creatorul apreciatei serii Myst® va lansa ultima aventura din acest ciclu, Myst® V: End of Ages, la sfarsitul anului 2005 (versiuni pentru PC si Mac). Rand Miller, coproducatorul seriei Myst si fondatorul companiei Cyan Worlds, va coordona si de aceasta data echipele de dezvoltare din Spokane, pentru a realiza acest ultim episod care va incheia povestea Myst.
„Fanii Myst® au apreciat aceasta aventura extraordinara inca de la lansarea primului joc,” a declarat Alain Corre, director general al Ubisoft pentru zona Europa, Orientul Mijlociu si Asia. „Suntem convinsi ca asteapta cu nerabdare si Myst® V: End of Ages, mai ales ca acest episod transcende limitele imaginatiei.”
Continuand aventura de acolo de unde s-a sfarsit primul joc al seriei, jucatorilor li se va oferi privilegiul, provocarea si responsabilitatea de a reconstrui pierdutul imperiu al civilizatiei D’ni™ – o civilizatie straveche care a prosperat de-a lungul mileniilor, dar asupra careia s-a abatut o catastrofa cumplita. Ca toate celelalte jocuri ale seriei, Myst V®: End of Ages isi va bucura jucatorii cu frumusetea detaliilor grafice ale decorurilor 3D pe care le vor putea explora in voie. Cei de la Cyan au construit si combinat cu maiestrie elemente specifice genului adventure, puzzle-uri, inovatii de storyline si gameplay, creand un sfarsit pe masura seriei care va ramane o referinta pentru orice nou joc adventure – Myst.
„Myst V®: End of Ages este practic o concluzie a intregii serii – capitolul final al cartii Ages of Myst,” a declarat Rand Miller, presedinte al Cyan Worlds. „Pentru a incheia acest cerc, am adoptat principiul „ceva vechi si ceva nou”. Nou - in materie de inovatii tehnologice si de interfata. Vechi - reintoarcerea la explorare si aventura care au facut din Myst un joc magic.”
With players controlling the worms in single player or 4-player team games, everyone’s armed with a massive variety of wild weapons, as ingenious as they are incendiary.
And for the first time in any Worms game, you can let your imagination run riot and create your own weapons! Using a genius device, called Weapons Factory, you’ll be able to create your own weapon and enjoy the freedom to annihilate your opponents in your own unique way. You want to make Exploding Chickens or Toilet Bombs? You got it.
The worms’ armoury of brilliantly conceived classic weapons return and is built on with even more devilish devices. Plus, prepare to cause chaos and humiliate your enemy with a host of new weapons that create new strategies and gameplay possibilities including the Poison Arrow, Sentry Gun, Tail Nail and the Bovine Blitz, which unleashes a bombing raid of cows.
