It’s about a wartime journalist following leads to uncover stories while witnessing the harsh reality of combat. We craft news stories and no two ”will ever be alike.”
It’s certainly an interesting direction for the first-person genre. ”WARCO lets players shoot and record what they see ‘through the lens’ – framing shots, panning and zooming, grabbing powerful images of combatants and civilians caught up in war,” says Defiant.
”They’ve got AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades – you’ve got a flak jacket, a video camera, and a burning desire to get the story. Every game space is embedded with multiple objectives and story leads for journalist Jesse DeMarco to find – a scoop if she’s smart, mortal danger if she drops her guard…” We build news story along the way.
”Record dramatic images of war, save them in-game, then edit the results into a compelling frontline TV news story. Beam the results to global audiences on the web. No two WARCO stories will ever be alike. It’s an edge-of-seat gaming experience – and a powerful entry-level training tool for future combat reporters,” continued the studio.
”WARCO is perfectly timed to take advantage of the convergence of games and movies, journalism and online communities, in a world undergoing massive social, geo-political and technological change.” Check out the debut trailer below.
They plan for WARCO: The News Game to release for PC and consoles but the team are looking for a publisher interested in the project. Visit the official website.
