SEGA’s
Condemned: Criminal Origins Goes Gold for PC
SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that its
award-winning, first-person psychological thriller Condemned: Criminal Origins™
has gone gold for the PC. This news follows recent announcements from SEGA
detailing a North American release date, April 11, 2006.
Developed by Monolith Productions, Condemned:
Criminal Origins allows players to experience an unnatural level of
psychological tension as they use their weapons, instincts and forensic tools to
track down serial killers and bring them to justice.
Condemned: Criminal Origins features amazingly
photorealistic environments and true to-life sound effects that transport
players directly to the scene of the crime. In addition to using guns, gruesome
weapons can be fashioned from the environment: paper-cutter handles, wooden
planks and lead pipes ripped from the walls can be used to attack the highly
intelligent opponents. Enemies don’t merely run at the player, they find an
appropriately powerful weapon to strike with and lurk in the shadows, waiting
for the best opportunity to attack.
Features include:
- Sophisticated lighting, mapping, and filtering
techniques provide for environments of superior detail and visual quality.
- Intelligent enemies respond strategically to
your offensive and defensive maneuvers. - High-level physics allow players to manipulate
background items, which respond realistically when picked up, kicked, or
bumped. - Meticulously crafted 5.1 surround-sound will
cue players to the location of off-screen enemies.
Condemned: Criminal Origins is rated “M” (Mature)
by the ESRB. For more information about Condemned: Criminal Origins, please
