Nightmares Come Alive with a Vengence inDreamCatcher's From Dusk Till Dawn

ONLY ONE THING IS CERTAIN: Tomorrow, the Sun Won't Rise for Everyone

E3, Los Angeles, CA (May 17, 2001) The demons of your worst nightmare don't hold a candle to the horrors you will face in From Dusk Till Dawn from DreamCatcher, a fast-growing publisher of PC and console entertainment software with mass appeal. Based on the movie starring George Clooney and Harvey Keitel, this action-packed horror-fest combines sophisticated action with progressive difficulty. Keeping with cult followings, From Dusk Till Dawn is being developed by well-known GAMESQUAD (The Devil Inside) and being written by Hubert Chardot (author of the series Alone in the Dark). In this game, the player plays Seth Gecko, whose aim in this survival horror is to team up with a few improbable human survivors to defeat the high-tech security system of the Rising Sun, a floating converted tanker prison that houses over 600 prisoners, 200 guards and an entire body of administrative personnel.

In order to survive, Seth will need to use his head and his vast arsenal to visit more than 16 rooms/areas that has previously been off limits. To get to the root of his horror, he will need to uncover the malevolent link that binds the two Wilson brothers, the game's antagonist, and destroy plenty of morphing vampires and other biting enemies. Luckily his arsenal is hefty, as Seth has more than 20 weapons to choose among, such as a riot gun, an UZI PM, grenades, a nailing gun, a circular saw, among others. With these, courage, a bit of wit and a gulp of Garlic Soda, he may make it through the night.

Storyline

Night has fallen on the Rising Sun - a tanker transformed into a high-security jail - as it sails past New Orleans. A helicopter lands. Under the pouring rain, the prison director is finishing his speech to the new inmates. One of the prisoners moves towards him with a strange look in his eyes… Without hesitation, the guards open fire. The bullets go through the convict's chest…He falls to the ground. The guard that fired the shot leans over the body of Clarence Wilson… Two bloodshot eyes stare back at him. He sees only those eyes, as if hypnotised…

With a blood-curdling howl that barely sounds human, Clarence tears off the guard's arm while the horde of other prisoners hurl themselves at the guards… The cell doors open and a bloody mutiny breaks out.

Seth Gecko, sole survivor of From Dusk Till Dawn, was sentenced to death in the place of his brother. He only has 72 hours left to live. He is shivering on death row, listening to the sounds of this gigantic ship…He is innocent, but nobody will believe him. But that's what they all say, right?

Press Release

"От Заката до Рассвета" - совместное издание фирмы "1С" и компании Nival Interactive игры в жанре action от компании Cryo.

Вам всегда казалось, что история, которая длилась "От заката до рассвета", еще не закончена? Что ж, вы правы. Сет Геко, единственный выживший после кровавого побоища в вампирском баре "Титти Твистер", что на границе с Мексикой, отбывает свой срок в самом охраняемом и неприступном месте - переоборудованном под тюрьму танкере "Восходящее солнце". Впрочем, срока-то осталось совсем немного: через 72 часа Сета должны казнить. Однако еще неизвестно, стоит ли нашему герою опасаться смерти на электрическом стуле, - возможно, его ждет куда более мучительная кончина в пасти мстительных вурдалаков. Ведь вертолет с новой партией заключенных уже здесь, директор тюрьмы заканчивает свою приветственную речь, а нечисть... нечисть уже на борту и только и ждет ночи, чтобы залить реками крови все вокруг. Для некоторых обитателей "Восходящего солнца" рассвет никогда не наступит.

Вам предстоит:

• Вспомнить известный фильм Роберта Родригеса "От заката до рассвета" с Джорджем Клуни, Харви Кейтелем и Квентином Тарантино в главных ролях.
• Разыскать уцелевших неукушенных героев, спрятавшихся в различных уголках судна-тюрьмы, и взять ситуацию в свои руки - не очень чистые, зато хорошо вооруженные.
• Научиться обращаться с 12 видами оружия, включая особое, "антивампирское".
• Сразиться с десятками мерзких тварей, включая вампира-невидимку, Носферату и Кока, которому совершенно безразлично, кого разделывать своим тесаком для рубки мяса.
