"The word "immersion" gets tossed around a lot in the world of game development these days. To some, it's little more than an annoying marketing buzzword. To some game developers, however, it represents a goal: to create a world that gives the player the illusion of really being there. It doesn't happen often, but every once in a while the stars align and you get a game so vividly brought to life that players find themselves ducking in their chairs to avoid onscreen danger.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, then the team at NovaLogic may be cooking up some magic you'll be interested in with Delta Force: Black Hawk Down. Based on US forces' real-life peacekeeping efforts in Somalia, 1993, the game mixes tactical squad combat and close-quarters battles with high-octane action and sprawling outdoor firefights, an interesting mix of controlled chaos that hasn't been seen in many titles to date.
With the game's release just a few weeks away, we paid a visit to NovaLogic's Calabasas, CA offices to meet the game's designers and take an exclusive tour through every mission of the single-player game. If nothing else, Black Hawk Down should have players sweating in their seats from start to finish.
