World in Conflict has gone gold

Published on 11th August 2007 by Tim Smalley

I'll be dropping more nukes like this when World in Conflict is finally released. COME OOOONNN!!!

Sierra Entertainment has announced that World in Conflict, the highly anticipated real-time strategy game from Massive Entertainment, has gone gold.

This means that the game’s development is complete and the master discs are on their way to the manufacturing plant ahead of the September 21st European release date.

Martin Tremblay, president of worldwide studios at Sierra Entertainment hailed World in Conflict as “one of the premiere PC games of 2007, one that pushes the strategy genre to the next-generation, blurring the lines between strategy, action and first-person-shooter.”

Having played the beta quite religiously myself, I can’t say I’ve seen any first-person elements in the game. However, what Massive has done is focus the gameplay on action, instead of resource gathering and base building.

Sierra says that, in addition to the multiplayer beta that many bit-tech readers have played, the game features a deep singleplayer campaign with “Hollywood-quality storytelling of the Cold War gone hot.”

This is one game that I’ve been looking forward to since playing the closed beta, so I’m now in the process of counting the days down until release. What’s that... 41 days to go? I can’t wait.

Are you looking forward to this game as much as I am? Tell us in the forums.

Games like this are the reasons to go geforce 8xxx card, and DX10.

Remember guys, XP is only DX9. DX10 is the future of hardware compatibility with software. Without it, your seriously hindering your entire system. Go here ( http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/391/ ) and read the entire article about the advancement and implemantation of DX10 to vista and 8xxx gpu's.

It'll change your mind...

Vista, Vista, Vista, Vista............

Played in the beta which was great. It's a clever combination this game, you have the same fast and furious action that you would normally associate with a FPS, but in an RTS. Being in control of only a few units, is also a welcomed break from the usual larger scale management seen in RTS games, as this creates a more relaxed environment to play in. This could be the bridge for traditionally non-RTS players to try out and enjoy.
