Red Storm Rising At E3

Still buzzing on the popularity of Rainbow Six, Red Storm Entertainment announced that its 1999 E3 lineup and shows that the company has definitely grown into a happy and healthy one year old.

Its big PC showcase game of the year, Force 21, is a real-time 3D tactical wargame as games choose to fight as a US or Chinese company commander during World War III in the year 2015. RedStorm is pushing for gamers with a taste for realism by using the talents and wisdom of a four-star former Army Intelligence Officer named Frederick M. Franks Jr. Levels for the game are built on realistic landscapes, vehicles, and military prototypes.

Rainbow Six fans won't be disappointed either as the company will be showing off the title's first sequel, Tom Clancy's Rogue Spear will be shown to the public for the first time at E3.

For console gamers, Red Storm will be showing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six for the PlayStation and Nintendo 64. Unfortunately for US gamers, the PlayStation version will only be released in Europe and the N64 version will release in both Europe and the US. Europe will also be receiving an action/arcade title called Aironauts from Red Lemon Studios.

The company says that it will also entice E3 attendees with a sneak preview into its year 2000 offering, Shadow Watch, the third in the series of Power Plays titles.
