This, I guarantee you, will be an absolutely great game.
Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax Media company, today announced its plans to publish Rogue Warrior™, an authentic, tactical first-person shooter based on the best-selling book series by Richard (Dick) Marcinko, former U.S. Navy SEAL and founder of both SEAL Team Six and Red Cell. Rogue Warrior is being developed for the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and Windows by Zombie Studios in conjunction with Bethesda Softworks. Rogue Warrior is scheduled for a fall 2007 release.
I'm a big fan of Demo Dick in the most basic, little boy growing up with a slingshot and marbles in his back pocket kind of way. So say what you will about macho BS, I'll cop to it when you're talking about Marcinko. But what's going to make this game awesome is Bethesda's tiling.
You see when you play Oblivion, you can basically run for miles and miles without lag or reloads. You have an almost limitless open area which is chock full of plants and critters and NPCs and monsters and it's completely seamless. There have been many times when I've been playing Oblivion just wishing that other players could be in there with me, not that the native AI is bad, just that the environment is so good. I have no doubt that Bethesda's involvement is going to take FPS to the next level, and I can't wait.
In Rogue Warrior, you play Dick Marcinko, leader of an elite SEAL unit trapped behind enemy lines in North Korea on a covert mission to assess the threat posed by North Korea’s nuclear arsenal. When war breaks out between North and South Korea, you must try to lead your team back into South Korea while greatly outnumbered and with no support and limited resupply. Your journey will take you through a variety of never-before-seen environments inside of North Korea, including submarine pens, shipbreaker yards, prison camps, and more.
They're going to give Rainbow Six a run for their money. I mean is it just me or does this Vegas thing seem hokey?
