Many years of hard labor were spent in hopes of bringing his desire into reality, the creation of a new type of clean and perfect community. He achieved remarkable results in giving animals a human look, but there was one thing he did not take into account: Animals are born as the children of nature, so their suffering bodies retained wild souls.

ANIMAL MAGIC

Brand new games label, Brigades, set to unleash beast of a shooter with Vivisector in October.

The World Wildlife Fund would not approve. PETA would stage a protest. Rolf Harris would have to build a cybernetic laboratory into the Animal Hospital. Vivisector, from Brigades, will be the first first-person shooter to feature a menagerie of cyborg-animals for gamers to blow away when released this October for PC.

The year is 1878. A twisted scientific genius by the name of Dr Morhead is exiled from Britain for his fiendish experiments on animals. Ostracised by the establishment, he establishes a new laboratory on the distant Island of Soreo where he continues his life's work only to find that he is little bit too successful. Something goes awry and all communication is lost with the island.

Fast forward to 1978. Special Forces soldier, Kurt Robinson, is despatched to Soreo under orders to quell a rebel force by his high command. However, all is not what it seems and Kurt soon finds that rebels would have been a nice alternative to what he does find.

As Kurt, the player will be thrown into the lion's den - literally. There are 24 huge levels ranging from scientific complexes and laboratories to sprawling outdoor environments, including steaming jungle and mountainous terrain. The going will be treacherous. Dr Morhead has been busy and created no less than 20 different cybernetically-altered beasts all of which are baying for human blood.

The enemies are divided into three classes; Modbeasts, the numerous foot soldiers of the animal army; Humanimals, craftier bipedal warriors; and finally Overbrutes, the fearsome elite adversaries that are as powerful as they intelligent.

Being an elite soldier has its benefits though. There are 16 different types weapon with which to slice, snipe and vaporise the legion of technologically enhanced adversaries. Not only will the player's targets gorily fly to pieces under the onslaught, thanks to state of the art skinning on the character models but the physics engine will ensure satisfying death-throes whether enemies are gunned-down or blown-up.

Vivisector also features a proprietary engine called AtmosFear. The engine enables the developer to create huge outdoor environments with photorealistic vegetation while simultaneously coping with more claustrophobic interior levels.

A further addition to the gameplay is the player's ability to improve his statistics. Speed, Resistance, Aim Stability and Health can all be increased through earning points during the game by efficiently killing enemies, careful exploration and completing tasks.

Prepare for unmatched, ferocious gameplay when Vivisector marks its territory this autumn. Vivisector is developed by Action Forms and will be published by Brigades and distributed by Interactive Ideas in the UK this October for PC.

"Вивисектор: зверь внутри" - это мощная смесь леденящего хоррора и ураганного 3D-action'а, подчинённая жёстким законам стремительно развивающегося сюжета. Игровой мир представляет собой изолированный в океане остров, разбитый на множество взаимосвязанных уровней. Ваш путь будет пролегать через тропические джунгли, густые леса и заснеженные горы. Продираясь через огромные экспериментальные комплексы, Вы ощутите на собственной шкуре, чего может добиться человеческий гений, направленный в ложное русло. Вы столкнетесь с чудом выжившими солдатами, которые были брошены здесь на верную гибель. Окруженные искусственно созданными зверо-людьми, они без разбору стреляют в сторону любого шороха или движения. Только среди них Вы почувствуете, что значит быть настоящим человеком среди этих диких существ - неудавшихся подобий людей.

Особенности игры

• Игровой движок собственной разработки "AtmosFear engine" сочетает в себе возможности обработки как закрытых комплексных структур, так и открытых пространств. Разработанный для полной поддержки графического интерфейса Direct3D, он по максимуму использует возможности современных 3D ускорителей.

• Система развития персонажа позволяет тренировать способности игрока и модернизировать оружие.
• Абсолютно уникальные враги, названные ModBeasts, HumAnimals и OverBrutes, имеющие неповторимые способности, вооружение и тактику ведения боя.
• Интуитивная система подсчета очков поощряет любопытного игрока за исследование игрового мира и результативность действий в бою. Эти с трудом добытые очки можно использовать для развития своего персонажа и улучшения характеристик оружия.
• Чтобы не потеряться в огромном мире "Вивисектора", на уровнях с открытой местностью игроку пригодятся карта и специальные контрольные точки. С их помощью формируется маршрут движения игрока по уровню. Также они используются для восстановления здоровья, боеприпасов и распределения заработанных очков.
