Milia Exclusive: Two new games announced
Posted 06 Feb 2002 at 13:49 by Gerben
Yes, in this newsarticle we exclusively reveal the new developer and of course the two mystery games we already reported about yesterday. Screenshots and box-art included.
Yesterday when walking around at Milia, we suddenly noticed two GamCube game boxes hanging at the wall of a small stand. At closer look these games turned out to be Darkened Skye and Outlaw Golf. We of course decided to talk to the guy standing at the stand, who turned out to be the president of Merscom, a new developing company founded the 1st of January!
He told us that Merscom was working on Darkened Skye and Outlaw Golf for GameCube. Nintendo hasn't approed the titles yet, but is expected to do so in the near future.
Darkened Skye
Darkened Skye is a 3rd person real time action/adventure fantasy game. It's based around several of the popular and enigmatic Skittles: Taste the Rainbow fantasy television commercials. The target audience will be teens and mature gamers.
Darkened Skye will have, according to Merscom, excellent graphics, a great script written by an award-winning author and loads of humor, twists, emotional pull, myth and romance.
Mersom claims that Darkened Skye will have the same free-roaming adventure play as Zelda, but with more humor and a more sphisticated storyline.
This game has already been confirmed for PC, PS2 and X-Box, but until yesterday, it wasn't known that Darkened Skye was also coming to GameCube. You can expect the game to hit the stores during quarter 4.
Outlaw Golf
Outlaw Box is the second GameCube title Merscom is working on. Outlaw Golf will be a golf game, but not a regular one. Most male gamers will like the fact that you can select babes with tight shirts and short skirts, that sometimes reveal 'something'. In total there'll be 8 different characters. The game features four different courses.
A cool thing about this game is the fact that you can beat the crap out of your cabby (the guy carrying your sticks) when he gets too annoying. As you can see, this game is meant to be hilarious, and not just another realistic golf game. The graphics look very god, they're semi-realistic. Outlaw Golf will also allow you to play multiplayer games with upto 4 players.
This game is meant to be for gamers of all ages, though I think it won't be suitable for kids under 12.
An X-Box version was already confirmed, but now it's also coming to GameCube! Expect the game in quarter 3 of this year.
Remeber where you heard about Darkened Skye and Outlaw Golf for GameCube first!
