Forsaken game review Pc#
At that time, Microsoft's newly bought and re-branded rendering engine ( DirectX) had just started to dominate PC development. The game was developed by Probe Entertainment during the 1996 - 1998 period as the company became amalgamated into its parent company (Acclaim). Mercenaries from all over come to raid the dead planet, forced to battle not only each other, but the robot sentinels that the government has left behind. One year later, Earth has been classified as "condemned" by the ruling imperial theocracy, meaning that it is now legal for anyone to salvage anything left on the planet. During a subatomic experiment, an accident causes an uncontrollable fusion reaction, utterly destroying the surface of the planet Earth. In the distant future, the advancement of science has exceeded humanity's ability to control it. Similar to "Descent", "Forsaken" had a strong following due to its "six degrees of freedom" game-play, but suffered in popularity to the conventional ground-based 3D first-person shooter games because of its challenging nature. "Forsaken" was also released on the Playstation and Nintendo 64. The PC version was released on April 30, 1998. The game was developed by Probe Entertainment (UK) and distributed by Acclaim Entertainment (USA). "Forsaken" is a 3D first person shooter video game.
