RoboBlitz Coming to Steam

[CSN NewsBot]

In light of the slow news week, here's some non-CS related news. RoboBlitz, an Unreal Engine 3 based game, is on its way to Steam.

Naked Sky Entertainment, an independent game studio located in Los Angeles, and Valve announce RoboBlitz, an Unreal Engine 3 game, is coming to Steam, the leading online platform for PC games, in the coming weeks.



"Steam is an attractive platform for the release of RoboBlitz," said Tian Mu, CEO of Naked Sky Entertainment. "We're looking forward to being able to release to Steam's huge PC audience. Additionally, we have long-term plans to expand RoboBlitz with new content. Through Steam, we have a great avenue for delivering the game and updates directly to over 10 million gamers' PCs."

The game will retail for $15 on Steam. For more information, check out the RoboBlitz website.

Only reason I clicked this was because I thought it was some sort of robot football game.



It isn't.



Go bears.

It's one of the games coming to the XBox 360 market place. They're using some crazy new technology that super compresses the textures to get the entire size of the game below 60MB or so (at least for the XBox live release).

So..What exactly..IS..this game? They're about page doesn't help. At all.

Well, according to the next paragraph in the linked press release:

RoboBlitz is a humorous, physics-driven action game full of inventive gizmos, weapons, and environments. Players take on the role of Blitz, a multi-talented robot who must activate an aging Space Cannon to save his world from a band of maladjusted space pirates. Set in seven distinct environments, RoboBlitz features 19 levels of puzzle-solving and high-intensity action.

So it's single player? Not worth $15 then.

So..FPS or no?

Actually:

[The demo is] RoboHorde. That was their original tech demo that REQUIRED(hard coded, you won't be able to get around it like aegia in cellfactor) an intel dual-core processor. It was also nothing like Roboblitz and used a very early build of UE3. You can still download it from Fileplanet

So what those demos are, aren't really what RoboBlitz is. Also, only Intel based systems can run that demo, RoboBlitz will be for everyone.
