You wait for years and then two come around...
In a day that should keep B-Boy fans twisting with glee, Playglogic followed an earlier announcement by SCEE, confirming an agreement with Red Bull to develop and publish a licensed break dancing title.
Based around the "Red Bull BC One Event" Playlogic's title aims to create a realistic representation of the dance culture, pitting two B-Boys against one another in the dance arena. A merciless KO system defines the nature of the event and leaves only one champion - loose a single round and you're out.
Stefan Layer, VP /Chief Marketing & Sales Officer of Playlogic, said, "I am very pleased that a video game will be produced and published by Playlogic based on the Red Bull BC One event. The event has the necessary vibe and mass-market appeal to create an exciting and entertaining video game. This 'virtual' break dance event will complement the annual Red Bull live contest."
"We have never seen anything like this before!" said Amigo, B-Boy from Flying Steps, after seeing the first playable demo, created by Binary Craft in South Korea. "The moves, freezes, foot work and styles are so authentic that we cannot wait to play it for the first time. The Red Bull BC One event set international standards in the world of break dancing. We expect many impressed B-Boys and gamers when they see the game."
The as-of-yet untitled game is scheduled for release on multiple formats in 2007...
