EA Announces 55DSL Collaboration with NEED FOR SPEED CARBON

EA Announces 55DSL Collaboration with NEED FOR SPEED CARBON
Published by: sjohn on Monday, August 07, 2006

Chertsey, UK, August 1, 2006 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that fashion street wear brand 55DSL will be coming to Need for Speed™ Carbon. Exclusively designed items from 55DSL, plus a selection of garments from their ‘Zurka and the 55 Vagabonds’ winter collection, will feature prominently on key in-game characters in the game, developed by EA Black Box in Vancouver, British Columbia. Need for Speed ™ Carbon delivers the next generation of adrenaline-filled street racing and will challenge players to face the ultimate test of driving skill on treacherous canyon roads.

55DSL items are specifically tailored to the game, bringing with them the unique style and tone of the brand. Exclusively designed clothing for the game will be available only through local EA events around the world and pre-order campaigns.

Andrea Rosso, the Creative Director of 55DLS is enthusiastic, “When the opportunity to work with EA, and in particular Need for Speed™ Carbon, came along, it seemed like a natural progression for us. I’m a gamer and I’m going to play this game for sure to see characters wearing our exclusively designed t-shirts and other items, is really amazing for me.”

“This partnership adds another layer of authenticity to our role in street culture”, says Larry LaPierre, Executive Producer on the game. “Having 55DSL integrated so tightly within Need for Speed™ Carbon adds an increased sense of realism to the game and gives fans the opportunity to wear exclusively designed items that brings them closer to the action.”

Combat Revealed for Elveon

Combat Revealed for Elveon
Published by: sjohn on Monday, August 07, 2006

10TACLE STUDIOS Slovakia offer a glimpse of the highly-developed combat system from their Fantasy Action Epos "Elveon" Darmstadt/Bratislava, August 7th 2006 –

The developers at 10TACLE STUDIOS Slovakia present some fresh new scenes from their Fantasy Action Epos "Elveon", in which they reveal the secrets of the different weapons classes and their merciless use. In the current trailer, an Aegans master demonstrates the deadly Elvish arsenal in a number of very painful lessons. The complex combat system, the incredibly dynamic motion capturing and weapon collisions calculated in real-time make for a truly intense atmosphere in combat. In order to make the deadly battles in Elveon even more realistic, Martial Arts experts have combined elements from different Asian and Middle-Age martial arts to develop a unique Elvish fighting style.

The combat trailer can be downloaded from http://www.elveon.com.

All those who just cannot wait any longer to dive into the Elvish world of “Naon” can test a playable version of this hot new fantasy epos themselves at the Games Convention 2006 in Leipzig (Hall 3, Booth B20).

Elveon tells of the rise of the heroic Elvish culture from the viewpoint of an elite Elf warrior. As is his fate, he tries to forever change the history of his people by freeing the forgotten city of Nimathar, the entrance to the realm of the Gods. An epic task normally reserved for the Gods themselves!
