Vi har været nødt til at grave godt i arkiverne her på Daily Rush og kan med stor undren tage fat i Gamecock Media Groups pressemeddelelse omkring et noget besynderligt navneskifte. Deres actionspil Sabotage, som blev annonceret helt tilbage i 2005 (ikke at forveksle med Insane Logics’ spil af samme navn fra 2003) har fået sig et nyt navn. Spillet vil fremover være kendt som “Velvet Assassin”. Hvordan Gamecock & Replay Studios er kommet frem til at det skulle være bedre end det første, er os en stor gåde. De har fremsendt en søforklaring forklaring, som vi lige vedhæfter herunder.
Cockpit, Austin, TX – February 29, 2008 – Today developer Replay Studios, along with publisher Gamecock Media Group, have announced the official name change for ’Velvet Assassin™’, their upcoming stealth-action title formerly known as ‘Sabotage’. The new title creates a perfect marriage between the story of real life hero Violette Szabo and the clandestine art of sabotage she championed. From the incredibly innovative art style, storyline, and combat gameplay, Velvet Assassin™ is poised to revolutionize the stealth-action genre later this year.
“Rather than a trite, overused, and generic working title like ‘Sabotage,’ ‘Velvet Assassin™’ captures the heart of what we’re trying to accomplish,” said Sascha Jungnickel, Creative Director at Replay Studios. “From the start we’ve wanted a game with a strong female lead that stays true to the history of Violette Szabo while pulling players into a world of dark intrigue.”
“Most of the time a name change happens because it’s not ‘catchy’ enough or because the marketing team didn’t like it,” said Tim Hesse, Executive Producer at Gamecock Media Group. “I have to say, the Replay crew have outdone themselves by making Violette into one of the best looking stealth-killers ever. This game has come so far since last year that Sabotage just didn’t do the game justice – ‘Velvet Assassin™’ sums up every aspect that makes this game great.”
Replay Studios will be on hand with Velvet Assassin™ at Gamecock’s EIEIO 2008 in Austin, Texas on March 6th. For more information, please visit: www.EIEIO2008.com
