the first Rebellion developed Judge Dredd title...
Vivendi Universal earlier announced plans to publish Judge Dredd Vs Judge Death, a FPS for the PC currently in production at UK developers Rebellion Software. Last year Rebellion brought the 2000AD franchise, granting them exclusive rights to the license, this is the first title to come out of that deal.
The FPS will put you in the eyes of Judge Dredd as he patrols the mean streets of the future metropolis, Mega-City One. Dredd will find himself having to deal with the full spectrum of criminal behaviour, from littering and caffeine abuse to saving the city from the utterly evil Judge Death. The game will also have extensive multiplayer modes, enabling ferocious splitscreen or online play and will use Rebellion's versatile new Asura engine.
Judge Dredd Vs Judge Death will be based on an entirely new storyline but one that fits in perfectly with the continuity of the comic with a full cast of characters from the Judge Dredd stories, including Judge Anderson and the Dark Judges, and many of the famous Mega-City One locations. The history and character of the Judge Dredd stories will be absolutely central to gameplay. For instance, because Dredd must obey the law he upholds and react according to the severity of all crimes, gamers won't be able to just blast their way through the game, shooting petty criminals at will.
Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director of Rebellion, says, âJudge Dredd has always been an obvious choice as a videogame licence, but no one has ever managed to put across the atmosphere and awesome visual scale of the comics in a game before. Now a combination of our powerful Asura engine, and our love for the character will enable us to put out the Judge Dredd game that gamers and comic fans have been demanding for so many years. In VU Games we have a partner with a great deal of experience in publishing and marketing cutting edge games, and we look forward to a long and successful relationship for Dredd and other future titles.â
âJudge Dredd vs. Judge Death will benefit from the rich universe of the comics that have been published for 25 years now,â commented Dominique Cor, CEO of NDA Productions. âWe are proud to work with Rebellion, who have achieved great games in the past, with a strong experience in FPSâ
Judge Dreed Vs Judge Death is set for release in 2003, weâll have more information and the first screens soon.
