Included in these features will be the addition of a Join-in-Progress option, which allows players to team up with their friends and enter matches without having to wait for an intermission. Rewarding players who have been patiently waiting for the PSN launch, the game offers the same non-stop fun and an exhilarating experience that the previous versions delivered including numerous multi-player maps, seven game types, four co-op missions and literally trillions of weapon combinations. More details on the PSN exclusive content will be announced shortly.
“Fans flocked to Blacklight over the summer because the game offered the most extensive array of game play and features ever brought to the DLG venue —for just 15 bucks,” said Jared Gerritzen, Lead Designer at Zombie Studios. “Now with full updates, brand-new content and the ability to Join in Progress, PSN players will truly see the game at its best.”
The recipient of rave reviews throughout the summer – including Game Informer declaring it “stands apart from the pack,” Machinima branding it “an extremely solid first-person shooter at a bargain price,” and PC Gamer US stating “it feels nothing like a budget shooter” – BlackLight: Tango Down is set to provide PSN gamers the same wild ride that XBLA and PC gamers have been on for months. In Blacklight: Tango Down, players are equipped with high-tech, futuristic gear that makes combat fascinating and surreal. Its weapon customization system allows for trillions of different configurations that deliver unlimited adaptability and variety of gameplay. Each player is also equipped with a Hyper Reality Visor (HRV), an advanced imaging system in the player’s Heads up Display that detects nearby enemy and friendly forces and relays the information back to players, giving them immediate battlefield intelligence.
ABOUT BLACKLIGHT: TANGO DOWN
Available on XBLA, PSN, and PC, Blacklight: Tango Down is a fast-paced, action-oriented first-person shooter that marks the first release of what will be a multi-platform entertainment franchise. Beyond the video game, a Blacklight feature film from Twentieth Century Fox and comic book series are currently in development. Designed to bring a fun, absorbing, and high quality AAA multi-player experience to DLG venues, the game exists in a future between contemporary and sci-fi shooters – part Blade Runner and part Call of Duty.
Developed by Zombie Studios, Blacklight: Tango Down takes place 25 years into the future. The player takes control of an elite covert ops team that is sent after missing American Colonel Klein and his personal Blacklight team. The game will feature four single player/co-op levels that support up to four players at once, 12 multi-player maps, seven game types and literally millions of weapons customization combinations. As the team advances through regions that consist of old world architecture over laid with ubiquitous modern holographic advertising, the trigger based dynamic AI offers an intense and varied experience every time the game is played.
