Heavy Duty RTS. New Assets: Screenshots and Game World Description - News
By Emanuel Avram
Published: July 9, 2008
Print With the spread of mankind throughout the galaxy new colonies had to be found in the vast reaches of space. Colonists and scientists made the first landings, tasked with setting up settlements for others to follow. These colonized planets are ruled by rival corporations entrusted by the governments of Earth to protect its citizens from harm.
In the game Heavy Duty, a player’s goal is to manage the defense of the planet. One of the distant colonies is facing the threat of a space invasion. The player must oppose hostile aliens with a small squadron of experienced fighters, several military vehicles, and military labs used for the development of new weapons.
The game world of Heavy Duty consists of a real planet rotating around the sun. The planet is a celestial body with mountain ranges, green plains, tropical forests, polar ice, cyclones, and thunderstorms in the atmosphere. This world has a horizon along with a realistic terrain that naturally puts a limit on the zones visibility. This eliminates the need for a traditional “fog” and makes all tactical fighting complex and multifaceted.
The game world is filled with the traces of events that are actually taking place, instantly changing according to the players actions. There is a place where a struggle develops from deployed men and it turns into a realistic battlefield, and a pure hell, where the land mixes with the air and nothing but an eroded landscape littered with broken machine parts remains. These parts will remain there until the very end of the game as a reminder of what happened.
Game features:
• Game world is available at any time and allows for you to instantly transport yourself from a strategic mode into a fast and dynamic action mode.
• Through inverse kinematics, the movements of the battle robots look natural, just like the movements of the living beings.
• Terramorfing makes it possible for sinking and landslides to appear. The landscape of the planet is changing irrevocably by the player’s actions!
• The Direct management of selected military units allows you to be in the very center of fierce battles. Switching into tactical mode allows for the player to control and monitor the progress of the entire battle. Anyone can choose their own unique play style that fits them best.

Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.

Sins of a Solar Empire
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.

Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?

Silent Hunter 4: Pacific U-Boat Missions
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.

Sword of the New World: Granado Espada
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.

GC: Disciples 3: Renaissance
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.

Nitro Stunt Racing Stage 1
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.

GC: Aion Tower of Eternity
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.

Race 07
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
