The way Speedball 2 is meant to be played

To maximise the impact of its latest title, Speedball 2 – Tournament, from the outset, FIP Publishing has announced its partnership with NVIDIA. As part of NVIDIA’s The Way It’s Meant to be Played programme, Speedball 2 – Tournament will bring gamers a stunning experience of its blend of sports action and combat. Developer Kylotonn Entertainment has worked with NVIDIA to enrich the game with technical features including SLI multi-graphics processing unit (GPU) support and Coverage Sampling Antialiasing (CSAA) to enhance performance and image quality.

In addition, NVIDIA will promote Speedball 2 – Tournament for one month on its nzone.com website, and host a permanent microsite for the PC game in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Russian language versions. NVIDIA will also incorporate the game into its ongoing PR activities. Gamers can look for the distinctive NVIDIA logo in the game’s packaging, manual and introduction sequence.

“As part of NVIDIA’s The Way It’s Meant to be Played programme, our engineers have helped FIP Publishing to ensure that Speedball 2 – Tournament takes advantage of the latest graphics technology,” explains Phil Wright, Head of Content Business Development in EMEA and India for NVIDIA. “We’re very pleased that their development studio Kylotonn has worked with us to optimise the game for the PC and make sure gamers can look forward to compatibility, stability and reliability when playing Speedball 2 – Tournament on their NVIDIA hardware.”
