The Bourne Conspiracy Gunning for a European Release of June

The Bourne Conspiracy Gunning for a European Release of June
Written Wednesday, April 02, 2008 by Dan Webb

Marlow, UK – 2nd April, 2008 - Sierra Entertainment today announced that the Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy™ video game will street in Europe on the 27th June, 2008 on Microsoft's Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. The game brings Jason Bourne’s signature combat style to life by sharply blending a seamless mix of hand-to-hand fighting, gunplay and dramatic escapes. To round out the non-stop action to the title’s hunter-prey game play, The Bourne Conspiracy will give gamers a re-imagination of the high speed pursuit through Paris in the MINI COOPER®.

Through close partnership with Ludlum Entertainment, and collaboration on story and character development with Bourne screenwriter Tony Gilroy, The Bourne Conspiracy is an intense interactive addition to the blockbuster films and best-selling novels. The game delivers an original story uncovering Jason Bourne’s past and the conspiracy shrouding his origins, plunging players into the role of Bourne as both trained assassin and marked government agent. Core to the experience is Bourne’s definition as a perfect weapon with heightened combat instinct, where players use Bourne’s characteristic capabilities to recognise threats, perform devastating takedown moves and use his surrounding environment to overcome deadly situations.

“Wrought with action, combat, elaborate escape scenes and untold story, the Bourne series is making a natural progression into the interactive medium,” said Al Simone, senior vice president, global marketing, Sierra Entertainment. “We’re pleased to announce that this June gamers will have the chance to experience the dangerously exciting aura and frenetic pace inherent in the Bourne franchise.”

Developed by High Moon Studios and based around a combat system co-designed by Jeff Imada, the renowned choreographer who defined Bourne-style combat in the films, The Bourne Conspiracy delivers gamers every signature Jason Bourne element, from hand-to-hand fighting to shooting to escape and evasion. Framing the experience is a relentless pace of action and an in-game camera system that captures the cinematography techniques that established the memorable visual style of the films.

Capturing the intense high-speed pursuit based on the memorable car chase from The Bourne Identity, players will take the wheel in an upgraded version of Marie’s red MINI COOPER trying to evade seemingly every police car in Paris. Arcade racing-style game play and destructive stunt setups combine with Bourne instinct-based game mechanics to create a previously unseen and unforgettable action driving experience.

“We’re creating a video game that is distinctly Bourne, based on a deconstruction of the character from action hero to game hero, and one that we ultimately believe gamers will discover as a distinctively original licensed action game,” said Emmanuel Valdez, chief creative officer, High Moon Studios and game director on The Bourne Conspiracy.

i have a feeling this is going to be very, very bad.

i liked the movies, but i cant see how it can translate perfectly into a game. i hope it is good tho.

well time will tell, but im certainly going to wait until good reviews come out before buying.

Definitely worth a look...

@Redwards34 - I'm guessing it'll be a mix of all 3 movies? With it being called 'Conspiracy' and not one of the 3 movie names. But you never know.

Everyone's like "movies, movies, movies" when it comes to this title... Pick up a book, why don'cha? lol
From what I've seen and read about it, it looks like it's going to be a good game. Pick up March's copy of OXM as they have a hands on preview of the game. They said the only things about the game that needed some touching up were the racing scenes and the gun fights. Then again, Jason has always been more of a hand-to-hand guy.

ok. from what i've seen and heard. it's not a game of the movie. that's why the main characte looks nothing like matt damon. it is based on the 3 books, which as a collection, are known as the bourne conspiracy.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
