SEGA Reveals Beijing 2008 Details News

Following the monumental unification of two former rivals, SEGA brings the Olympics to the next-gen consoles and PC...


Not content with Mario & Sonic taking over the Olympic stage, SEGA today unveiled the slightly more serious take on the forthcoming Olympic Games.

As the exclusive licensee of the International Olympics Committee (IOC), Beijing 2008 is currently in development at Eurocom Entertainment Software for the Xbox 360, PlayStation3, and PC. Promising the very first such title to bring online play for a global experience, Beijing 2008 offers over 35 authentic simulations of various sporting events.

Boasting an innovative control system that caters to both novices and experienced gamers alike (don't they all?), SEGA assures us Beijing 2008 will be the best Olympic Games license since U.S. Gold popularised the button-basher - coincidentally Olympic Games: Atlanta 1996 was the iconic publisher of the 80's last ever title before being absorbed into Eidos, let's hope it's not an omen.

"Beijing 2008 will set a new standard for sports games in this genre." commented Hugh Binns, Director of Eurocom Development Ltd., developers of Beijing 2008. "With a huge number of events, innovative control schemes to benefit new and experienced gamers, online multiplayer modes providing hours of entertainment and stunning high definition graphics, Beijing 2008 will be a fantastic experience."

"After the successful launch of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, we are delighted to announce the official video game of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games," stated Gary Knight, Marketing Director of SEGA Europe Ltd. "Combining an enjoyable game with a truly global sporting license will provide a fantastic sports game experience for gamers everywhere".

"Extending our relationship with SEGA to include the Official Video Game of Beijing 2008 strengthens the opportunity to build upon the success of the children's character game, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. We feel certain that SEGA will further the success of Athens 2004, thereby delivering what will be an outstanding, quality gaming experience", stated Raymond Goldsmith, Chairman & CEO of ISM.

I doubt they will have 'create a character' mode, would be good if they did though, the online mode would be fun, 7 players online competing will be great. I hope they have competitions with alot of events for online play and not just choosing what e... [ Read full comment... ]
