03.30 | Sony Europe Confirms '24': The Video Game for Playstation
The countdown has begun to the release of '24': The Game' on PlayStation 2. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced an exclusive licence deal with Twentieth Century Fox to bring the acclaimed show '24' onto PlayStation 2. Set to become the biggest action adventure game of the year, '24': The Game' lets gamers take control and live a 'brand new day' in the life of Jack Bauer and the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU).
This is fantastic news. Here's the press release. Hopefully it''ll turn out to be as good as Grand Theft Auto, with added Jack Bauer.
You'll be pleased to know that the game will use the voices and likenesses of Kiefer Sutherland, Elisha Cuthbert, Carlos Bernard and other actors from the show.
A specially-written script has been penned by Duppy Demetrius, who wrote episode 22 - 5AM to 6AM - of season two and episode 6 - 6PM to 7PM - of season three.
In terms of timeline, the game is set between seasons two and three and, says Sony, "provides the answers to many unanswered questions: who was really behind the assassination attempt on President Palmer? How did Kim Bauer get a job in the LA CTU? How did Jack Bauer and Chase Edmunds first start working together?"
Total Video Games reveals that there is footage of the game out there:
The preview video that we were able to watch included in-game footage that showed some really good character modelling as well as Los Angeles flyovers.Hopefully this footage will get leaked on the web.
To round this off, here's two more stories from Gaming Target and Total Gaming.
As soon as the first screenshots are released, you'll be able to see them on this site. Stay tuned.
