UFO Developer To Release NecroVision

Independent developer Cenega have announced that they will release a First Person Shooter set in World War One called NecroVision. Cenega are well known for developing the UFO series. This series has continued the concepts behind the Xcom series of games.

NecroVision is said to be set not just in World War One, but also will have you fighting hell spawn such as demons and other unnatural creatures. Well, that makes the game sound a whole lot different than a lot of other shooters. Just because it was set in World War One with its bolt action .303s and lot tech warfare is not necessarily going to differentiate it from other shooters already associated with WW2. There are so many games which deal with you fighting things which come from hell, the underworld or whatnot. Anyone heard of Doom? Then you have the various offshoots which attempt to capitalize on the same theme. Couldn't they have taken a little bit more time and come up with a more original concept?

Hang on, there is, there are also vampires in the game. Well, that makes all the difference doesn't it. Vampires. The press release says, "Now the only defense standing between the powerful forces of darkness and humans, who are unaware of the existence of the underground worlds, are vampires. But they are losing ground in this war and desperately need help before they fall and all hell will get loose. Can a young American save these worlds, and survive as a human?" Just sounds like another cliched game concept.

Vampires. Vampires are real you know. I always carry around a clove of garlic. You never know when one of those little blood suckers are going to pop up. I saw this documentary about this young girl ... now what was her name? ... she had a real problem with vampires ... I think her name was Bandy ... Bundy ... Bindy ... Buffy, that's right it was Buffy. She could slay vampires in this place in America.

I remember when the great war started. I was only a relative youngster at twenty five. It was a time of great adventure I tell you ... as long as someone else went on the adventure for you.
