1C Company, Aspyr and 505 Games have unveiled a website ? www.necrovision-game.com - for upcoming horror FPS NecroVisioN, the game that sees players crawling through the trenches of World War One straight into the jaws of Hell. NecroVisioN is launching exclusively on PC in February 2009.
Fans looking for a classic old-school FPS experience, can use the website to uncover more information about the B-movie style plot of NecroVisioN. Why are the dead rising from their graves? How did a mad German scientist build a huge robot in 1917? What is the mysterious war between vampires and demons? The answers to all these questions and more, can be found within the different pages of the site.
Alongside details about the plot, the site also contains a range of screenshots from NecroVisioN, exclusive videos of the game in action and wallpaper for desktops. Plus, there?s also a forum where players can chat about tactics for disposing of the undead with other zombie hunters.
NecroVisioN is a fast-paced and furious first-person shooter from The Farm 51 that blends historical detail with horror and alternative reality. Players are put in the shoes of Simon Bukner, an American soldier, who decides to help the British effort to take out the German threat. But that?s only the start of his troubles and Bukner soon realises that there?s something far more terrible stirring in the trenches: a string of hideous beasts and demons.
I would like to tell everyone about Necrovision, a new FPS shooter coming out this year for PC.
"The year is 1916. Young American joins UK Army to survive the adventure of his life and soon realizes that greater evil is hiding beneath the Great War storm. He has to face the underground world of vampires, demons, evil genius creatures and even became one of the demons to rescue the human and vampire kind from forces of darkness.
NecroVision is a next-gen First Person Shooter that starts in the rage battlefields of World Word I and leads player to much darker and brutal underground world of vampires and demons."

Forget Crysis: Pyscho's Son, Assassin's Creed, and Skate PC ..There's a new Sherrif in town: Necrovision! Write the name down.
The game puts you in the guise of a soldier fighting in the trenches of WW I. At first you begin the game using rather conventional weapons of the time; pistols, rifles and machine guns. You also go up against rather conventional enemies during the beginning of the game, which includes German soldiers with their trademark pointy helmets.
However, this isn't your great-grandfather's WW I battle. As you play through Necrovision you discover that there are some sinister forces at work. Soon you will be fighting off more than just the typical German infantry officer. There are demon dogs, vampires, huge massive boss battles to deal with. Indeed you will be traveling underground to battle the forces of darkness. There's even a point in the game where you will be flying on top of a fire breathing dragon.
As you can imagine, Necrovision isn't subtle. During our playtime with the game we didn't lack for enemies to shoot and destroy. In addition to regular weapons you will also have access later in the game to special powers and weapons like a Shadowhand glove that allows you to engage the enemy with fireballs. There's plenty of targets to go after in the game and most of them (with the exception of the German zombie soldiers) don't hesitate to charge at you full force.
The Farm 51 is using People Can Fly's Painkiller graphics engine for Necrovision but we have been told that the engine's renderer has been heavily modified and supports DirectX10 features such as dynamic lighting, an advanced animation system and more. While the game clearly still has a lot of Painkiller's looks, Necrovision is its own beast. It's art style is darker, scarier and more horror themed than Painkiller.
Playing through the brief demo of Necrovision was an exciting and fun experience with lots of options to destroy your enemies through various weapons. Its gameplay isn't exactly revolutionary and it would have been nice to have some multiplayer features but sometimes all you just want to do is go from point A to point B and blow up everything in between. It looks like The Farm 51 will bring that kind of game to us with this title. Look for more on Necrovision before the game's expected release date sometime this fall.
