505 Games Pubblicherà L'atteso Titolo Fantasy Rpg Underworld 505 GAMES PUBBLICHERÀ L’ATTESO TITOLO FANTASY RPG UNDERWORLD ASCENDANT Il Publisher indie ha siglato un accordo di pubblicazione mondiale con il talentuoso Team che ha sviluppato l’iconico franchise Underworld CALABASAS, California – 17 agosto, 2017 – 505 Games, divisione editoriale del Gruppo Digital Bros S.p.A., ha annunciato oggi di aver siglato una partnership con lo studio di sviluppo OtherSide Entertainment per la pubblicazione del gioco fantasy RPG Underworld Ascendant, il sequel di nuova generazione del franchise Underworld, vero punto di riferimento del genere. Il team di grande esperienza di OtherSide studio – guidato da nomi illustri del settore come Paul Neurath (Ultima Underworld, Thief) e Warren Spector (Deus Ex, Epic Mickey) – ha lavorato su numerosi videogiochi che hanno complessivamente ottenuto più di 200 premi e hanno guadagnato più di 3 miliardi di dollari. Il loro progetto attuale, Underworld Ascendant, è stato svelato inizialmente su Kickstarter, dove i fan hanno già raccolto oltre $850,000 per il suo sviluppo. “L’opportunità di collaborare con questo talentuoso team su un brand così iconico rappresenta un altro grande traguardo per 505 Games” ha dichiarato Neil Ralley, Presidente di 505 Games. “Ultima Underworld è tra i più grandi titoli RPG mai realizzati per PC, e siamo ansiosi di scoprire quali sorprese, Paul, Warren e il loro team, hanno in serbo per la community con la prossima generazione di questa serie.” Nel 1992, Ultima Underworld ha cambiato le regole di ciò che potrebbe essere un fantasy RPG, ha introdotto il concetto di immersione 3D, un’esperienza di gioco autorale e un mondo aperto da esplorare. OtherSide sta lavorando ora al sequel di nuova generazione della serie apportando delle innovazioni davvero audaci. I giocatori ritorneranno a The Stygian Abyss, un bellissimo regno fantasy pieno di pericoli e di intrighi, e verranno forniti loro una serie di strumenti da sperimentare e per creare soluzioni ingegnose per le varie sfide che si troveranno ad affrontare. La storia e il mondo reagiranno dinamicamente alle scelte dei giocatori, sfidando e premiando la loro creatività, permettendogli di essere gli autori della loro esperienza. “Abbiamo trovato un grande partner in 505 Games; un publisher che supporta concretamente gli sviluppatori indie,” ha dichiarato Paul Neurath, CEO, OtherSide Entertainment. “Rivolgiamo un ringraziamento particolare anche ai nostri fan che hanno contribuito a rendere possibile questo sogno. Tutti coloro che hanno sostenuto Underworld Ascendant su KickStarter sono una parte importante di questo progetto e abbiamo intenzione di coinvolgerli durante lo sviluppo, condividendo le prime build e utilizzando i loro preziosi feedback per rendere questo gioco ancora più incredibile. Il gioco originale Underworld ha segnato profondamente il mondo dei videogiochi RPG, e il team di Ascendant è impegnato a proseguire su questa strada,” ha dichiarato Warren Spector, studio director, OtherSide Entertainment. “Le prime build sono già molto convincenti, e non vedo l’ora di mostrarvi il risultato finale” Underworld Ascendant sarà pubblicato per PC su Steam nella seconda metà del 2018. I giocatori possono già includere oggi questo videogioco nella loro lista dei desideri. http://store.steampowered.com/app/692840.

  • Jonathan Peros Introduction.Pdf
    Jonathan PEros 16637 Hamlin St Van Nuys, CA P: 719.648.7085 E: [email protected] Otherside Entertainment, My name is Jonathan Peros, and I am excited to be submitting my materials for audio on System Shock 3. Until recently I had been working as the Audio Director, Composer, and Sound Designer for the reboot of the classic cyberpunk horror game, System Shock. For over the last two years, I have been completely immersed in System Shock audio. With as much time as I have spent exploring what System Shock means in terms of audio, I believe that I have a large reservoir of specialized knowledge for what it takes to bring System Shock to life. I've worked to define a very unique modern audio direction for System Shock that is both true to the essence of the original games, and fitting for a modern gameplay experience. I've studied all of the music and technologies that defined the musical styles of SS1 & 2, and found ways to modernize and exploit that gritty musical character for the new game. I've been in contact with Greg LoPicollo, Alexander Brandon, and Josh Randall - players who helped to pioneer the audio of the Immersive Sim in the 90s. I've collected an entire studio of specialized audio gear that suits the style of System Shock. My work so far has given me the opportunity to grow a very wide breadth of skills, from sound design chops to implementation. I have strong technical understandings of synthesis, implementation, and audio propagation systems, as well as experience in scripting and VR.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Gaming › News Features Reviews System Shock 3 teased Sequel to seminal ’90’s cyberpunk series revealed By Naveen Morris, Gaming Editor (2015/16) Wednesday 9 December 2015 A countdown clock has appeared on Otherside Entertainment’s website, and thanks to a user on the forums of RPG Codex, the page set to reveal on the wee hours of Monday has been found already live. While the page we’re all supposed to see currently, at the time of writing, simply has the letters “s s k”, three cryptic lines, and a sentence that reads: “I am flawless, perpetual… absolute”, user ‘LESS T_T’ has found through the web page’s source code the page (pictured above) that unveils the release of System Shock 3, the third entry from the highly-acclaimed first-person cyberpunk series. Much of Otherside Entertainment’s staff is made up of the defunct-in-2000 company Looking Glass Studios, who made several innovative and highly influential games, including System Shock (1994) and System Shock 2 (1999). The legacy of Looking Glass is evident through countless games of the past 15 years. Games like Dishonored (Arkane Studios, 2012) took after Looking Glass’s seminal first-person stealth game Thief (1998), which itself had a second sequel released in 2004 and a reboot in 2014, while franchises such as those of Deus Ex (Ion Storm, Eidos Montreal) and BioShock (Irrational Games, 2K Marin) took after the System Shock series.
