EWR 4.0 ist erschienen...downloadbar auf http://www.400softwarestudios.com/tewtemp.php
Und dazu auch noch ein offener Brief von Adam Ryland, der Stellung bezieht zu der Teilnahme an 400 Software Studios etc. etc. etc.
Hello everyone,
I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone to .400 Software Studios, the brand new home of the Extreme Warfare series. I'm sure everyone has a lot of questions about the move to the new site, my partnership with .400 Software Studios, and the future of the Extreme Warfare games, so i'm going to try my best to answer everything as best i can!
Firstly, i'd like to reassure everyone that nothing has changed in regard to Extreme Warfare Revenge 4.0. It will still be released on schedule, it will still be freeware, and it still contains all the features that were advertised. It will be released on this site at about the same time you read this.
The reason that Extreme Warfare now has a brand new home is that I have officially joined .400 Software Studios, and the game will now be developed in partnership with them. I feel that the Extreme Warfare series has gone as far as a freeware game can realistically go. In order to take the game to the next level, i wanted the team up with other game developers and professionals like myself, so that I have the time and resources at my disposal to reach that new level.
By joining with .400 Software Studios, that dream has become a reality. EWR will now be evolving, with a new series called Total Extreme Warfare being launched in the first quarter of 2004. This new series will take everything you've come to expect from the previous EWR games, but take it from a very good freeware game to an exceptional professional game.
How does this affect you? The advantage is that as I will be working on the game full-time and will have access to the resources and skills that .400 Software Studios have brought and are bringing to other titles such as Total Pro Football, Tournament Dreams, Total Pro Basketball and FaceOff Hockey. Total Extreme Warfare will be of a standard that previous EW games haven't even come close to, and contain features and an interface that have simply never been possible to add before.
The disadvantge is that the game will no longer be freeware. However, Total Extreme Warfare will only cost $34.99, a superb price when you compare it to other PC games currently on the market.
Will this mean an end to the EW community? Absolutely not! One of the major strenghts of the Extreme Warfare series has always been the active community, and that is something that will continue. The popular "Extreme Warfare Battleground" message board will continue to exist as the premiere fan forum for EWR, and we are grateful for Ryan, Garry and the others who helped us make sure that everyone from the Battleground could use their same login ids and passwords at the .400 Software Studios forums.
I encourage everyone to use the Suggestions Forum to put your ideas forward for the upcoming game. I'll be visiting on a daily basis to answer questions and talk through the new ideas, so you'll be able to directly influence the production of the new game - how many other professional games offer you the chance to do that?
I'm excited about the move - the chance to take the Extreme Warfare series to the the highest level is something i've wanted for a long time, and in partnership with .400 Software Studios, this is the chance to do it. I hope you feel the same way to!
I look forward to hearing your ideas and comments on the message board, and to building Total Extreme Warfare into the wrestling simulator that we've all wanted for years, but never had the chance to play. This is the future of wrestling simulators, i hope you're all ready for an exciting ride!
