Details Spilled About Breach's Hardcore Mode

Related Topics – Breach, xbox 360, PC

Back in July, when Atomic Games announced that their upcoming downloadable shooter Breach was being pushed to January 2011, the developer revealed that the additional time was being used to create a special "Hardcore" mode for the game.

Fresh details have emerged today for the mode that will add even more simulation-like elements to a shooter that already contains destructible buildings and cover, and accurately simulates stuff like the range, velocity, and caliber of small arms. Apparently, Hardcore mode was created because "some organizations that use other Atomic training systems" were interested "in using a modified version of Breach as a training aid for their operatives." Hardcore indeed. Read more »

"The cynic in me wonders why anyone is using a $15 downloadable video game for a training simulation."

Hands-on Preview: Breach

On Monday, Atomic Games announced Breach with little to no detail. Today, they stopped holding back. The game uses technology developed for Six Days in Fallujah to offer fully-destructible buildings and cover.

The game is playable at PAX East 2010, but I had a chance to play a build of the game on the Xbox 360 earlier this week and I came away impressed. The game is still a little rough around the edges, lacking the polish of a final version, but I had a really great time playing against Atomic's QA team. Read more »
