| Direct2Drive to Digitally Deliver Sega's Medieval II: Total War Direct2Drive, IGN Entertainment's digital retail store, has announced a deal with SEGA to digitally distribute the "Total War" series of games, including The Creative Assembly's sequel, Medieval II: Total War. The game will be available on November 15 for purchase and download in North America. SEGA is joining Direct2Drive's AAA roster of game publishers with titles available for digital download on D2D. The list, which also includes Atari, Activision, Ubisoft, Blizzard Entertainment, Eidos, Electronic Arts, Namco, NCsoft, Sony Online Entertainment, 2K Games and Vivendi Universal Games, underscores the growing investment the industry's top publishers are making in digital delivery. Medieval II: Total War drives the Total War franchise to a new level by completely upgrading the game's battlefield rendering system, eliminating the clone armies of the past games in the series and including a new, more realistic animation system. With over 10.000 troops now to command and hundreds of unit types, players can experience massive battles in graphically rich environments enhanced by dynamic weather effects and vastly diverse terrain. Leading armies across Europe, the Middle East, and even the Americas, players will encounter brutal real-time battles and the pure bloodlust of medieval warfare. As players progress, they will shape their empires by strategically determining whether to build castles for military power or cities for technology and trade, allowing for a greater depth of gameplay. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
