CERGY-PONTOISE, FRANCE – 12 July 2010
– NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S. today unveiled
more details about its forthcoming launch of God Eater in 2011. The
title will debut on PSPTM (PlayStation
®
Portable) in Europe as an enhanced edition of the game,
entitled God Eater Burst, loaded with modifications, gameplay
improvements and additional features.
The hard-hitting survival action title scored 34/40 in revered
Japanese gaming publication Famitsu and went on to sell over half a
million copies in under three weeks. In direct response to feedback
from gamers, development team Project G.E. decided to go a step
further and create an enhanced version of the game, God Eater
Burst, and it is this ultimate version of an already incredible
experience that European gamers will get their hands on in
2011.
God Eater Burst re-imagines the post-apocalyptic world with an
original and dramatic story of human survival against overwhelming
odds. The earth has been trashed by unpleasant mutant beasts known
as Aragami and man’s only hope against them is the God Arc
weapons and the God Eaters who wield them. Players will create
their own hero and battle against many different types of these
enemies, picking up items along the way to customize their weapons,
guns, bullets and shields, boosting their strength and stamina in
the massive scale fights.
The furious pace of the gameplay will send players hurtling
through more than twice the number of missions in the original God
Eater, demanding quick thinking for tactical shifts between weapons
to slash, shoot and devour some seriously imposing enemies. Bullets
can be customised to alter their strength, patterns and elemental
type for wildly effective super attacks.
The original Prey Attack adds a new strategic level as players
transform to Burst Mode, boosting their stats and special bullets
to launch potent attacks. Players can hunt with AI controlled party
members or join hunting parties with up to four players via Ad Hoc
connection, or connect the PSPto a PlayStation
®
3 and play online using adhocParty in cooperative mode.
If you’ve ever wondered what a god tastes like, you
won’t have to wait long to find out. More information about
the enhanced content of God Eater Burst will be revealed in the
coming months.
