Midway’s Blitz II brutally barrels through E3
Midway has released new information on its brutal Xbox 360 and PS3 football game Blitz: The League II for E3 2008. The game is not only going to feature popular aspects from the original game, like late hits and Lawrence Taylor as Quentin Sands, but also loads of new content guaranteed to make Blitz II the most violent football game you can buy.
Most of Blitz: The League II‘s new additions are designed to make the game more brutal and dramatic than ever before. First up are the precision-aim tackles, which allow players to hit certain areas of opponents’ bodies to do more damage and inflict injuries. The next is the ability to start Clash mode by pushing one button, then doing more damage to opponents. There are also going to be touchdown dances, a Campaign Mode story by Peter Egan from ESPN’s Playmakers along with the ability to play online and download new material via the Playstation Network and Xbox Live.
Midway presents its E3 2008 lineup
Midway Games, like most other considerate E3 attendees, has announced a list of games which it will be displaying at the event. It looks like, this year, Midway is going a somewhat safe route when it comes to games, as it will be showing off new installments in its popular Mortal Kombat, Unreal Tournament and Touchmaster series at the event.
The selection this year seems to reflect Midway’s desire to reach two, very different audiences. Games like Unreal Tournament 3 (Xbox 360), Wheelman (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (PS3, Xbox 360) are being released for Midway’s faithful fans, while titles like Touchmaster 2 (DS) and Game Party 2 (Wii) are for casual players.
Without further ado, Midway Games’ official E3 games list taken directly from the press release…
