Check your six! This space combat sim just got a whole lot more intense with Track IR action
Matrix Games and Destroyer Studios
are excited to release of an update for Starshatter: The Gathering
Storm which will give gamers the ability to use their Track IR headsets
while whizzing through space and blowing up baddies! Track IR is an
advanced technology by Natural Point that allows gamers to freely move
their heads to adjust their view of the screen when in a 3D game. By
clipping a small device to their headphones or headset, players will
have the X, Y, and Z axis of their head movement tracked while the
Track IR Enhanced game updates their view in real time.
David
Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said '"Track IR provides
the absolute cutting edge in realistic (not to mention cool) gaming
experiences. Now gamers can experience the exhilarating rush of
frantically looking around the cockpit to find that enemy fighter on
their six.'ÂÂ
Starshatter: The Gathering Storm represents the next
generation of space combat simulation games. The Starshatter: The
Gathering Storm release is a major upgrade to the original version of
Starshatter, with all new artwork, music, cockpit voice-over, and
animated cutscenes. Starshatter: The Gathering Storm allows you to
experience the world of Starshatter with more punch and excitement than
ever before! Starshatter extends the gameplay concepts of the classic
sims by combining fighter and starship combat in a single game. You
begin the game as either a fighter pilot or the captain of a small
Frigate-class starship. As you progress through the game, you can earn
promotions and awards until you are commanding a massive fleet carrier
with three wings of fighters and a complete escort of warships.
Starshatter promotes airborne fighter combat to a first-class game
component, allowing you to take-off and land at planetary bases, engage
in aerial dogfights, and use air-to-ground missiles to destroy ground
targets.
