Brute Force Marketing Campaign
It has been reported by GameSpot that Digital Anvil’s tactical squad-based Xbox shooter Brute Force (similar to HALO) will launch on the same date (or close to that) Xbox releases in Europe. Microsoft plans to give Brute Force a killer promotion in Europe as part of a large marketing campaign. So it’s like one of those Jak & Daxter commercials but it’ll actually be funny if it is trying to. It’s the same way Nintendo uses a big cube to show off six different games on six different sides, but with more games at launch. Brute Force will also release in North America in early March, or is on schedule to be. This game will have some RPG qualities, mainly in the character development, and should offer some good eye candy along the way judging from screenshots.
In Brute Force, you’ll need teamwork to succeed. Each member of a team will have unique abilities, and you can’t make it to the end alone so you’ll have to combine wit and skill... or something fancy like that. Players can play simultaneously as the heavy assault trooper, Tex; the cyborg-enhanced sniper, Flint; the stealthy scout, Hawk; and the powerful feral alien, Brutus. You’ll have to get through missions pitting you in four different, distinct worlds filled with challenges and a chock-full of eye candy. So just wait for the commercials to get what i’m talking sometime in March 2002.
