GameOver - 1999 E3 Coverage

Red Storm's E3 Lineup

Date: May 23rd

The young game development powerhouse, Red Storm Entertainment, Inc. surprised the industry at last year’s E3 convention with its instant hit Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six. This year the company plans to introduce a 1999 line-up like no other.

Force 21, a real-time 3D tactical wargame, is the showcase for Red Storm Entertainment this year. The intense game is played from either the U.S. or Chinese side as players are put in the role of company commander during WWIII in the year 2015. Amazingly detailed realism is the highlight of Force 21, made possible by the game’s producer, a former Army Intelligence Officer, and Red Storm’s strategic military advisor, retired four star Army General, Frederick M. Franks Jr. With terrain based on true location maps from the National Imagery and Mapping Association and vehicles based on actual military prototypes, this game is sure to please the hard-core wargamer, sim player and action lover alike.



Of course, this E3 show would not be complete without unveiling the sequel to Red Storm’s hit game, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six. The full sequel, Tom Clancy’s Rogue Spear will be featured in-depth on the E3 cover of PC Gamer and will be unveiled for the first time in public at the show. You won’t want to miss this.

Also showing for the first time at E3 will be the Playstation and Nintendo 64 versions of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six. As of this date, the Playstation version will be released only in Europe and the Nintendo 64 version will be released in both Europe and the U.S. Stop by to see how the popular PC game was re-created for these exciting console formats. In addition, Red Storm will be debuting another Europe-only release, Aironauts, the hot action/arcade game created by up-and-coming developer Red Lemon Studios.

Red Storm Entertainment will also be offering a sneak peak into their end of the year title, Shadow Watch, the third installment in the Power Plays series, as well as a glimpse at what’s coming up for the year 2000.
