Fox's Die Hard Trilogy 2 & Planet of the Apes
Date: May 13th
Following up on one of Fox Interactive's most successful titles to date, Die Hard Trilogy 2 features an all-new storyline that
crams three unique action-filled games into one. The bright lights and vast landscape of Las Vegas provide the setting for
hero John McClane, who will face a new legion of hi-tech terrorists in a race against time. While in town visiting a friend,
McClane stumbles across a plot masterminded by a multi-national group of terrorists, capable of wiping Vegas off the
map. Developed by n-Space, developers of Duke Nukem: Time to Kill the game will be available in the fall of 1999 on
PlayStation and PC.
In a bid for survival, gamers will progress through the action-adventure game and unravel the mystery of the complex
story line. Using a unique real-time cinematic style camera, players will explore 15 immense levels with a total of more
than 70 distinct sub-levels. Some of the game's other features include solving intelligent puzzles, fighting various foes such
as giant bats, mutated rats and rabid Hyenas, using stealth capabilities to creep past and deceive the apes, or blasting out
of tough situations. With over 2,000 lines of dialog, gamers will converse with a multitude of different characters to stay
alive and advance in the game. Blending over 1,000 realistic motion-captured character animations, puzzles, action or
stealth-based gameplay and an involving plot, Planet of the Apes is going to set new standards for action-adventure
games on the PlayStation and PC platforms when it is released in the Spring of 2000.
Continuing its momentum as a multi-platform publisher, Fox Interactive has unveiled its plans for new titles based on two
of Twentieth Century Fox's film franchises. Die Hard Trilogy 2 and Planet of the Apes are now in active development for
release in 1999 and early 2000 respectively. Both titles will be available on the PlayStation and PC platforms.
Based on one of the most recognizable franchises in movie history and the novel by Pierre Boulle, Planet of the Apes is an
involved action and adventure game. Playing as Ulysses, the gamer crash lands a spaceship on an uncharted planet 1,000
years into the future. Players soon discover an evolutional where Apes rule and human beings are at the bottom of the
food chain.
