Burbank, CA
– Tuesday,
January 30,
2007 – R & R
time is over
pilot! It’s
time to kick
the tires
and light
the fires
and get your
arse over to
the official
Heatseeker
game website
located at
www.codemasters.com/heatseeker.
Debuting
with the
site launch
are two
all-new,
explosive
video
previews
that are
stocked full
of fiery
ammunition
for any
budding
fighter
pilot, as
well as new
details on
the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable)
system
version of
the game,
and a slew
of other
game assets
and
information.
Seeing is
believing,
so set your
targets and
discover
what this
supercharged,
blackout-inducing
flight game
has to offer
as it
prepares for
take off in
March 2007.
The
Heatseeker
Overview and
Impact-Cam
videos are
the first
releases in
a series of
videos
created by
Codemasters
and voiced
by
Heatseeker’s
own Senior
Producer
Andrew
Wensley.
“There are
some things
which just
need to be
visualized,”
says Andrew.
“I can
describe the
intensity
when you see
your enemy’s
SU-47 Berkut
fighter jet
ripped to
pieces by
your LRAAM
missile in
bullet-time
slow motion,
but it just
doesn’t do
it enough
justice.
These videos
are like
having a
member of
the
development
team with
you 24/7,
ready to
walk you
through with
real-time,
in-game
action.”
Codemasters
has also
made
available
further
details on
the PSP
system
version of
Heatseeker.
Today’s
friends are
tomorrow’s
enemies in
Heatseeker’s
wireless
multiplayer
mode for up
to four
players.
Take your
pick of the
most
advanced
military
flying
machines and
test your
loyalty when
the F-22
Raptor on
your tail
(or the face
in the
cockpit of
the doomed
jet in
front) is
somebody you
know.
Additionally,
the PSP
system
version
features
missions
specifically
designed for
short-burst
play,
perfect for
gaming on
the go.
Missions
have been
scaled down
in length in
the event of
a low
battery, or
arrival at
the
destination,
meaning
players
won’t lose
large
amounts of
progress if
and when the
device needs
to be shut
down.
Heatseeker
is planned
to launch in
March 2007
for the
Wii,
PlayStation®2
computer
entertainment
system and
PSP
(PlayStation
Portable)
system. The
Wii and
PlayStation
2 system
platforms
are rated
“T” (Teen –
Mild
Language,
Violence) by
the ESRB.
The PSP
system is
currently
rated “RP”
(Rating
Pending) by
the ESRB. Be
