SCEE Announce Pursuit Force for PSP
Sony reveals hope for Bigbig Studios first PSP title, promising unique driving and combat experience
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today lifted the wraps from one of its biggest hopes for the PSP, Pursuit Force, described as a fast-paced arcade/action title that fuses driving and combat dynamics together with explosive effect.
Currently in development at Bigbig Studio, an offshoot of Evolution Studios (WRC) focussed entirely on development for the Sony PSP; Pursuit Force follows the misadventures of a rookie Police Officer, tracking down five criminal gangs across a fictional state in America.
Assisted by the old school, short-tempered Chief of the Pursuit Force who likes to play by the book, youll find yourself in an adrenaline-fuelled, high-speed chase across 400km of city streets, freeways and off-road tracks.
The game features more than 30 missions set across five districts, whilst making use of the ability to jump between vehicles whilst racing at speeds of over 150mph!
Whilst hanging onto a moving vehicle, the occupants will often attempt to throw you off it, as you engage in intense combat, dodging bullets and defying gravity to avoid falling off. This feature promises to inject a healthy dose of originality into a tiring genre, and could lead to some exciting situations within the game.
Scheduled for a European release in Autumn 2005; well have more on Pursuit Force very soon.
