Sega unveiled its video games line-up for its two booths at the upcoming IAAPA trade show in Orlando (November 13-16) yesterday. Many of the top games recently introduced to the international trade is in the portfolio, plus an all-new one, ATV Slam.
At the top of the list is of course Transformers Shadows Rising, the dedicated, licensed driving game that has already made a considerable impact on the industry, coming in on the tails of the first of the genre, Transformers Human Alliance.
The follow-up game is once more licensed from Hasbro and is a giant piece to dress up FECs, and features the movie’s main characters, Optimus Prime, Bumblbee and Sideswipe, battling the evil Megatron. It has dual trigger controller and extra energy features and weapons.
Said Justin Burke, general manager: “The new game is even more fast-paced and exciting than the original. The truck-shaped cabinet design is an eye-opener.”
The game is supplemented by House of the Dead Scarlet Dawn, another sequel with a horror theme and ‘Unreal Engine 4’ game graphics with a 55ins screen. It has been developed in Japan and gives immersive, five-dimensional full body experience with surround sound.
The new game, ATV Slam is a quad-bike racing game using an all-terrain vehicle and a custom motion platform for realism. There are ten exotic environments and five different vehicles, plus wind effects.
The stands will also feature Daytona Championship USA in a 42ins cabinet for greater location flexibility and won an award for its game play as a deluxe cabinet last year. There is a four-speed gear shift, six tracks and different game modes to the new model.
Finally there will be other hit games, Target Bravo: Operation Ghost, Let’s Go Island: Dream Edition and Storm Racer motion.
“Video has always been that heart of Sega’s product development. Bringing our unique creative flair, passion and development philosophy that puts our customers and players at the centre of the process, allows us to bring revolutionary new games to market that are highly demanded,” concluded Paul Williams, Sega’s CEO.
