Ferrari Challenge - Trofeo Pirelli Racing Off The Shelves

Only limited copies of the game Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli arrive in stores.

A hiccup in the distribution system has resulted in many high street retailers reporting low stock levels. System 3 is working hard with retail to ensure an extensive resupply campaign continues in the coming weeks to meet the demand for this hugely popular race title.

“We knew Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli would be popular, but the massive demand for our game has surpassed even our expectations,” said Mark Cale, CEO of System 3. He continued: “We’re working hard with our retail partners to make sure that everyone who wants a copy of the game gets one. Our customers are the most important part of our business, so we’re working harder than ever to ensure their needs are met.”

Over the coming weeks, retailers will be receiving additional stock, enabling gamers to get their hands on the most advanced simulation available on PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS.

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli is System 3’s labour of love – a re-creation of Ferrari’s own racing series, which sees both professional and amateur drivers taking to the world’s most famous race tracks in 430 Challenge race cars. Developed by racing game specialists Eutechnyx, Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli draws upon the developer’s years of experience with racing titles and includes a uniquely magical touch from GP2 driver Bruno Senna, nephew of F1 legend Ayrton and technical consultant on the game’s handling.

The Ferrari Challenge video game will be published on an array of gaming consoles including PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS.

SEGA announce - Stormrise for Xbox and PlayStation 3

From the development team that brought you the Total War series comes a groundbreaking console RTS game.

Watch the video here...

Stormrise, an innovative real time strategy console title built specifically for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system. Stormrise marks The Creative Assembly’s first foray into developing a purpose built RTS title for console and is slated to ship in 2009.

Stormrise offers fans of the classic RTS genre an immersive and dramatic twist whilst challenging the conscience of the gamer. Experience the heat of the battlefield by leading your troops from the front line, instead of the traditional way of controlling the units from a detached view point. Stormrise also allows units to be commanded in the air, across rooftops, on the earth’s surface and even underground, this unique idea of “verticality” introduces multiple layers of gameplay that must be mastered for strategic advantage. The experience is heightened by a simple yet effective control system tailored specifically for consoles, which allows easy unit selection, rapid navigation and precise deployment.

“The Creative Assembly have proven their general leadership in developing RTS games through the award winning ‘Total War’ series on PC”, commented Gary Knight, European Marketing Director, SEGA Europe. “However, Stormrise has been built from the ground up specifically for high def consoles to provide a more intense, frenetic style of game that, coupled with the all new control mechanic, will revolutionise the way RTS games are played.”

Set on a bleak and barren earth, devastated by a catastrophic event centuries ago, Stormrise sees the Echelon and the Sai battling to survive in a hostile and uninhabitable wasteland. Remnants of a superior technological people the Echelon survived the event through self-educed hibernation, whilst the Sai, a more tribal faction, still exist having learnt to adapt to their surroundings and the new environment. Having evolved in vastly different ways, the differences between the two factions have spurred much animosity and hatred between the two races, and the future of the planet is now hanging by a thread…

Stormrise is in development at The Creative Assembly’s Australia studio and is priming its forces for release in 2009.
