DreamCatcher snags Gore

Toronto-based game publisher DreamCatcher has announced that it has acquired the worldwide rights to Gore, the 3D first-person shooter in development at Nebraska-based game developer 4D Rulers. The game is set in a dark futuristic world. The government develops GORE, a virtual reality combat training system that lets soldiers train against potential enemies.

Gore includes an offline single-player ladder system, as well as a variety of multiplayer modes, including deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, and tactical warfare. Players will choose from eight different character classes, each with different weapons and abilities. Most of the weapons in the game also have secondary fire modes, giving players a wide range of options.

The game also keeps track of characters' stamina, so players must be conscious of their strength as they move, jump, and carry heavy weapons. In addition, Gore features a detailed armor system that keeps track of each character's armor. In order to destroy a heavily armored enemy, players will have to focus their fire on a specific area.

Gore is scheduled for release this spring. For more information, take a look at our previous coverage of the game and visit the game's new official Web site.
