Described by Atari as a "unique gaming experience for anyone with an interest or passion for horses," My Horse and Me features "the most accurate horse models and animations yet realized in a video game," "a richly rewarding game play experience," and "a beautiful backdrop of charming indoor and outdoor environments."
The first PC and Wii title from Amsterdam-based developer W!Games includes first and third person perspectives, horse customization, a championship mode, and various mini-games, such as grooming. W!Games promises it will be the "perfect training tool for practicing disciplines that riders face in real life."
My Horse and Me hits Europe on Nov. 23 in PC, Wii, and Nintendo DS flavors, with a North American release slated for next year. The PC and Wii versions were handled by W!Games, with Mistic reining in the DS edition.
Fansite inCrysis now reports that the demo, which includes the Sandbox 2 real-time level editor, will not be released for public consumption until Saturday, October 27. However, it will be available for download today to those who pre-order the game from the online EA Store.
Crytek delayed the demo in late September mere days before it was originally scheduled to arrive. At the time, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli promised gamers "the Crysis single player demo will now be available everywhere on October 26th, 2007."
While you're waiting, we recommend you check out our recent chat with Crytek about Crysis and its technology, and maybe read over those suspicious system requirements one more time.
Included songs:
- "Lay Down," Priestess
- "Even Flow," Pearl Jam
- "The Metal," Tenacious D
- "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," as made famous by Pat Benatar
- "Rock You Like A Hurricane," as made famous by the Scorpions
Additionally, a demo for the single-player portion of the title will be released Thursday, giving players an offline taste of Hellgate's action. Two classes will be available for play in the demo: the sword-slinging Blademaster and gun-toting Marksman.
Though the offline demo won't reveal the plethora of bugs apparent in the game's online-enabled beta, Flagship has said it expects the retail version to play virtually bug-free at launch with the help of a release-day patch.
