GameSpy.Net Tools Power Serious Sam: The
Second Encounter
Take-Two Interactive Chooses GameSpy
Multiplayer Toolkit for Upcoming Release
GameSpy Industries is proud to announce that
Take-Two Interactive Software has turned to GameSpy as its multiplayer gaming
solution for the upcoming action game Serious Sam: The Second Encounter. The
title will use the GameSpy.Net technology to power its multiplayer modes and
backend systems, making it easier to bring the game to market and provide game
players with instant access to multiplayer games online.
Serious Sam: Second Encounter is the follow
up to the smash-hit Serious Sam, an action-packed first-person shooter created
by Croatian developer Croteam. Serious Sam: The Second Encounter will make use
of the GameSpy.Net In-Game Server Browsing Toolkit.
What’s more, the action game, just like its
predecessor, will be available for multiplayer gaming through GameSpy Arcade,
the Internet’s leading online multiplayer community. GameSpy Arcade supports
more than 270 PC and web-based games; Serious Sam players will be able to use
Arcade to find their friends and immediately jump into multiplayer games.
GameSpy’s technology division, GameSpy.net (www.gamespy.net
), offers developers and publishers a
suite of game development solutions and backend systems, providing features such
as CD-Key validation, auto-patching, in-game server browsing and much more. The
