Interplay also confirmed the development of Descent 4 by Volition. An official announcement is expected to be made later this month. Finally, Interplay is also preparing to release Starfleet Command: Gold Edition which will include the original game as well as a series of new missions. Starfleet Command: Gold Edition is also scheduled for a 1st Quarter 2000 release.

With the most comprehensive roster of pro skaters, an intuitive control scheme, and enhanced skating physics, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 will deliver the most authentic and cutting-edge skateboarding experience and expands on the groundbreaking features of the original game. The sequel's increased number of tricks and combinations - including new grabs, grinds, inverts and lip and nollie tricks - will challenge players to master new skills as they work their way up the skateboarding ranks.

Adding depth and replayability to the game is the most advanced Skatepark editor, allowing players to build their own dream parks from scratch. Players can see exactly how their park will look in the game as they plot out a course using a variety of parts - ramps, rails, obstacles and quarterpipes - in the real-time 3D editor. Once a level is laid out it can be saved to a Memory Card and shared with friends. Additionally, a total character customization feature allows gamers to modify the pro skaters' clothing, physical appearance and trick sets, or build an entirely new character from scratch.

Players can ollie and grind in a variety of new international real world settings, including skate parks and locations in New York, Marseille, and Rio de Janeiro. Each environment is littered with secret areas, short cuts, ramps and interactive objects allowing players to trick off of just about everything in sight.

Offering several modes of play, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2's two-player split-screen trick attack mode give skaters the ability to interact with other players, allowing them to compete on ramps and in skateparks for style points, race between various obstacles on the tracks or play in graffiti mode in which players "tag" different obstacles in the environment by performing tricks off of them. The game also features a variety of multiplayer modes including an all new multiplayer competition mode in which players can compete with and against up to seven opponents in a judged skate competition, new street, vert and best trick modes and an enhanced version of H-O-R-S-E. Additionally, the game also features new mini-games that players can unlock as they advance through the improved career mode as well as a replay mode where players can view the highlights of each run.

Set in the Realms of Albion, Hibernia and Midgard, Camelot begins just after the death of King Arthur. Following the death of the legendary monarch, the three lands go to war, each realm vying to replace Arthur's Camelot as the leading power of this new, and chaotic, age. In this world, people must battle against both computer-controlled monsters as well as ward off assaults from human participants belonging to the other realms. Camelot incorporates Numerical Design's NetImmerse 3D engine, seen in Prince of Persia 3D and Mythic's own Spellbinder: The Nexus Conflict.

At the heart of Camelot are three realms--Britons, Norse, and Celts--and the people who inhabit them. Each realm is a world unto itself, where a character can spend his or her entire life hunting monsters, exploring ruins, and solving quests. Players within a realm are prohibited from assaulting each other, but can fight members of other realms, staging raids into an enemy realm to steal special artifacts, for example. Players who belong to the same realm will form strong bonds, as they must collaborate in order to stave off the opposing forces. Those who are new to the world will have special, protected training areas.

As a StormRaver, you must collect eballs with a hovercraft, and bring them home to your drop zone. To be assigned a drop zone, you must be the first stormraver to drive through it. Once assigned, the drop zone will fire upon all other combatants who come within close range. Others can try to steal your onboard eballs in combat. A stormraver can use upgradable primary and secondary weapons to fire upon others and defend themselves. Each level finishes when one of the stormravers succeeds in dropping a certain amount of eballs in his drop zone, or after a specified time limit.

StormRaver will require a Pentium 200MHz or higher processor with 32MB of RAM and a Voodoo 1 or better 3D graphics accelerator. Teneon is beta testing a demo for release soon.

Features

"Myrtle Beach Tour is a golfing experience unlike any we've seen before. How is that you ask? Simply because it's FREE! Not only that, it's a damn fine round of golf to boot, which really isn't a surprise considering it's coming from a development house that knows a thing or two about golf. If you haven't already rushed over to their website for more details about how you can get your free copy of Myrtle Beach Tour, let's find out what this game is all about."
