VIVENDI GAMES DEPLOYS PHYSICS VIDEO FOR JOINT TASK
FORCE
Vivendi Games and co-publishing partner HD Publishing today
unveiled a new video showcasing the fully-destructible 3D
combat environments of their upcoming PC real-time strategy
title, Joint Task Force. Displaying the advanced capabilities
of the game engine, the trailer shows an embattled,
smoke-filled city block overrun with tanks and infantry. Modern
weaponry blasts away as civilians run for their lives.
Buildings, cars and streetlamps fly apart as bombers and
helicopters lay waste to the street from overhead. Joint Task
Force uses AGEIA PhysX technology to create the
game's awesome physical effects. The game is also optimized to
take advantage of PCs equipped with the AGEIA PhysX processor,
which delivers an even higher level of physics-based reality.
Developed by Most Wanted Entertainment, Joint Task Force will
be available this fall. Joint Task Force is the real-time
strategy game where players command the frontline forces in
tomorrow's most hazardous conflicts. As field commanders on the
furthest front lines, players will bring officially-licensed
military technology to bear in real-world combat situations.
