Who is developing Rush for Berlin?
Deep
Silver has succeeded in recruiting a top outfit in Stormregion.
The Hungarian design team is synonymous with sophisticated real-time
strategy and stands for intelligent and complex mission design.
Those familiar with RTS will be aware of other Stormregion classics,
namely the Panzers® franchise and S.W.I.N.E.
What else will be new in Rush for Berlin?
Rush for Berlin differs
from other real-time strategy games in that the only resource of importance
is time, so you may produce
as many units as you wish, but the completion date will depend
heavily on the unit produced. This requires careful planning:
Will you need several light tanks, or will the costly investment
in the über-tank pay dividends? Apart from this new approach
to resource management, Rush for Berlin features numerous special
units. These officer units all come with unique capabilities,
additionally increasing your tactical options.
What is Rush for Berlin actually about?
Rush for
Berlin is the next bombshell waiting to shake up real-time strategy!
You will have the unique chance to witness WWII from
brand new perspectives. Breathtaking graphics will draw you into
the story, as both the USA and the Soviet Union make their respective
ways to Berlin. It is a race against time, demanding all your
tactical savvy as leader of your troops. Make the most of your
resources and the special abilities of your heroic officers in
this exciting mixture of tactics and RTS, so that you will be
the first to raise your flag over the Reichstag!
Which factions will be playable?
Americans, British, Russians, Germans, and French.
How many campaigns will there be?
Rush for Berlin will feature four campaigns plus a tutorial.
One campaign will focus on the allied attack from the West,
another on the Red Army and its march from the East. A fictional
campaign will see a German counter-attack. Finally, in another
campaign, you will take control of the French Resistance.
What exactly are the prototypes about?
Rush for
Berlin is not a historical simulation. Instead, the aim of the
game is maximum enjoyment! For this reason, many new
units have been integrated into the game, units that have so
far not been available for your WWII campaigns. Available units
include the Panzerkampfwagen Maus, the radio- controlled Goliath
or the giant self-propelled assault gun T28.
Which technology is used by Rush for Berlin?
Rush
for Berlin utilizes the latest and advanced version of the Gepard
Engine, which was also used for the Panzers® franchise.
This time around, though, graphics were improved drastically:
the engine now supports the latest pixel and vertex shader models,
a wide range of effects (heat haze, real-time reflections on
water surfaces, etc.) as well as complete dynamic rendering of
shadows including self-shadow for geometrics, resulting in a
completely new level of detail!
