ATLUS NONCHALANTLY INCLUDES A FREE FULL-COLOR, DUAL-SIDED “EXPLORER’S POSTER” INSIDE EVERY COPY OF ETRIAN ODYSSEY III: THE DROWNED CITY FOR NINTENDO DS
This just in: we’re awesome.
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – AUGUST 12, 2010 – Atlus U.S.A., Inc., the little publisher that could, today revealed that free inside each and every launch copy of Etrian OdysseyTMIII: The Drowned City, the upcoming third chapter in the acclaimed series of exploration RPGs for Nintendo DSTM, fans could expect to find a collectible “Explorer’s Poster.” The unexpected, previously unannounced bonus is a full-color, two-sided affair: on one, a lush collage of characters set against the crystal blue backdrop of Armoroad’s seas. On the other, skill trees for all of the starting character classes, offering fledgling adventurers invaluable insight for their crucial initial customization decisions.
“We could use this space to offer up a self-congratulatory quote about the fact that we’re giving our fans a free surprise with their copies of Etrian Odyssey III,” mused Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations and Sales at Atlus. “We could go on about how we’ve just added even more incentive and value for anyone who picks up The Drowned City, on top of the existing pre-order bonus at participating retailers. You know, the one that gets you “Forests Of Eternity,” a 60-page, full-color art book with designs and sketches spanning the entire Etrian Odyssey series? We could talk about how all these extras only serve to complement the best Etrian Odyssey game yet, a deep handheld RPG with hours upon hours of satisfying exploration and rewarding character customization. But that kind of boasting wouldn’t be our style,” he concluded, polishing an apple on his jerkin whilst leaning on his fine mahogany mantel.
FIFA, Need for Speed, Medal of Honor and The Sims Among Top Franchises to Reveal Deep Innovation and New Experiences for Consumers
Guildford, UK, August 13, 2010 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced plans for gamescom 2010 in Cologne. EA will showcase a powerful slate of titles representing a selection of leading franchises across the company’s Games, Sports and Play Labels. Media and consumers are invited for hands on experience with a whole host of innovative game play that highlights the company’s focus on delivering fewer, better games and building direct to consumer digital offerings.
“Gamescom has grown to become the largest show for interactive entertainment, and offers a unique chance for us to engage directly with consumers, retailers and media at one event,” said Jens Uwe Intat, Senior Vice President and General Manager for EA Publishing in Europe. “Our line up demonstrates the intense focus we have on building quality games with deep innovation for our consumers, and it’s great to see the industry coming together to create such a milestone event in Europe”.
As many gamers know, id Software co-founder John Carmack delivered a keynote today at QuakeCon 2010. For Nintendo fans, the most interesting – albeit disappointing – news came towards the end of the Q&A session.
In terms of Wii development, it doesn’t sound like id Software will be making a game for the system anytime soon. Carmack told his team not too long ago that they could bring Rage from the iPhone to Nintendo’s home console – where it was originally born – but unfortunately, the company is skittish about the system. It was explained that a first-person shooter tanked on the Wii, which is probably a contributing factor to id Software’s overall disinterest in the console.
The possibility of id Software creating another title on the DS also isn’t likely. The company’s only piece of software for the handheld, Orcs and Elves, was released in 2007 and received a mostly positive critical reception. However, Carmack believes EA lost money on the game. One reason for that may be, as was stated, that it lacked elements to make it truly unique. Elaborating on the DS further, Carmack said id Software doesn’t possess enough focus at the moment to work with the portable once more.
