Cryostasis, Other 1C Games Coming to U.S.
by Chris Faylor, Jan 21, 2009 12:21pm PSTPublisher Aspyr has reached an agreement with European publisher 1C Company to bring five 1C-branded PC games--Cryostasis, Death Track: Resurrection, Men of War, NecroVisioN and 4x4 Hummer--to North America later this spring.
Developed by Action Forms, Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason is a survival-horror first-person shooter set in the Arctic Circle in which players explore a frozen ship to find out what damned it and its crew to an icy graveyard. Upon discovering a dead crew member, players can relive their final few moments in order to solve puzzles.
European gamers will see Cryostasis, NecroVisioN and Men of War released on February 20, with Death Track and 4X4 Hummer due out in March.
Details and descriptions for the remaining games follow below:
Death Track: Resurrection - Skyfallen Entertainment
Death Track: Resurrection travels players to a not-too-distant future in which the world has been plunged into chaos. Traditional sports have been replaced by the far more aggressive, violent and thrilling type of entertainment the public demands. The main event of the year, Survival Racing, is a world tournament that takes place in the largest cities across the globe. Powerful vehicles and spectacular road battles are performed by world-renown and feared drivers. Players strap in as a rookie driver aiming at the top prize.
Men of War - Best Way
Men of War is a stunning mixture of RTS and a third-person action that takes players to the most brutal battlefields of Europe and North Africa during the height of World War II. The game unfolds across three different campaigns played out through the eyes of Soviet, Allied and German soldiers. Each campaign has its own scenario and structured timeline bringing a different story of the war to life. Whether in single or multiplayer warfare, gamers can employ the unique Direct Control System, which allows for player control of every single soldier or vehicle on the battlefield. Men of War features epic multiplayer battles, realistic vehicles and weapons, and highly detailed environments and characters.
NecroVisioN - The Farm 51
NecroVisioN is a first-person shooter that blends fast action, realistic First World War combat and magical weaponry with a terrifying occult world. The year is 1916. A young American joins the UK Army in WWI to experience an adventure of his life and soon realizes that greater evil is hiding beneath the Great War storm. He has to face the underground world of vampires, demons, evil genius creatures and even become a demon himself to rescue the human and vampire kind from the forces of darkness.
4x4 Hummer - Avalon Style Entertainment
4x4 Hummer is an off-road driving simulation where players can test drive a range of General Motors sports utility vehicles across challenging and exciting locations including the Grand Canyon, Crimea, Egypt and Iceland. Players can drive the Hummer H2 SUT, Hummer H2 SUV, Hummer H3 SUV and Hummer H1 Alpha along with Saab 9-7x SUV, Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy and GMC Yukon. Players have full control over all the vehicle's 4x4 features such as the 4x4 gear box, GPS navigation, center differential locking, towing devices, height controls and tire pressure as they challenge the world's most demanding terrain.

This is the game thats been in development by the breakaway group from the Painkiller team at People Can Fly. Looks like like the group contained the bulk of their excellent art department. The texture work alone puts even anything done by Epic (GoW, UT3) to shame.

..505 were also supposed to release several other 1C titles in europe not mentioned here but they've since removed them from their site, so it's possible the deals there changed. I'm guessing since 505 have been absolutely terrible to work with (suck it 505). the new paradox/gamersgate and 1c team-up is awesome though. elven legacy and majesty 2 are being developed by 1c studios and published by paradox. also they made an exclusive downloads deal on a bunch of these 1c titles, also including stuff that wasn't mentioned already like tomorrow war and the factor k expansion, aim racing, 7.62mm and the high calibre expansion, streets of moscow and classic car racing.
1c is awesome.
