Condemned 2: Bloodshot Announced for Xbox360/PS3
Ask anyone who owns an Xbox 360 what one of the most memorable and surprising hit launch titles were and I’m sure Condemned will be at the top of everyone’s list. Thankfully, SEGA knows this and has announced today Condemned 2: Bloodshot will be released in early 2008 for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Condemned 2: Bloodshot will put us back in the shoes of Ethan Thomas. It seems Ethan’s former partner has gone missing, so he sets out to find him. Ethan though isn’t the same man he used to be. He was affected by all of the craziness that went on in the first Condemned and is now a “desperate burnout”, according to SEGA’s description.
One of the biggest surprises from the announcement is the fact there will be online multiplayer included in Condemned 2: Bloodshot. No further details on what we should expect with this addition, but as soon as details emerge we will make sure to update you guys accordingly.
SEGA REINVENTS THE FIRST PERSON ACTION EXPERIENCE WITH CONDEMNED 2: BLOODSHOT
All-New Psychological Terror Featuring Revolutionary Combat, Chilling Serial Killer Crime Scenes and Online Multiplayer
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (May 10, 2007) – SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe, Ltd. today announced Condemned 2: Bloodshot™ the next chapter in the terrifying series that began with the award-winning and critically-acclaimed Condemned™. Featuring an all-new fighting mechanic and online multiplayer functionality, Condemned 2: Bloodshot is a first-person action thriller which immerses players in a world of psychological terror. Following a string of gruesome murders, players must use their deductive skills and brute force to track down sadistic serial killers.
Developed by the renowned Monolith Productions, creators of the original Condemned, Condemned 2: Bloodshot is due for release across Europe in early 2008 for the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.
Players will assume the identity of Ethan Thomas, the former Serial Crimes Unit investigator, who’s been called back to duty to track down his missing partner. As Ethan, players will engage in visceral combat using a variety of firearms, blunt instruments and an all-new fighting system complete with defensive and offensive combo chains. To help track the killer and solve the mysteries behind Condemned 2: Bloodshot, players will crack open an all-new set of high-tech forensic tools. Using wits and brute strength, murders can be solved in a number of different ways to keep players guessing throughout each suspenseful investigation.
Condemned 2: Bloodshot takes the series to a whole new level by introducing a variety of thrilling online multiplayer modes including deathmatch, which promises to deliver the most brutal hand-to-hand combat experience the first person genre has ever seen.
“The original, Condemned, was a game which truly shocked and scared its players with its subtle details, gripping story and eerie tension throughout,” said Gary Knight, European Marketing Director, SEGA Europe. “Condemned 2: Bloodshot takes these three key elements to heightened new levels, providing a superb mature gaming experience that will constantly surprise its players and keep them gripped from start to finish.”
The disturbing events from Ethan’s past have left him a broken man – a desperate burnout, drifting aimlessly through a society in inexplicable decline. Fighting inner demons throughout his one-man investigation into a sinister conspiracy, Ethan will need to use anything and everything in the environment to survive as he unravels the mysteries shrouding the city in darkness.

Gee, I imagine it’ll look exactly the same as the 360 version. Almost all ports so far have fared better on the 360 so I imagine this is no exception.
Where did you get the Sony kool-aid your drinking?

Explain the differences, I’m waiting….oh snap you can’t as their probably isn’t one bit of difference.
You lost any gaming credibility you had in my book.
I’m sure you’ve already played both versions of this just announced game though and seen this quality difference so what is it?

[...] SEGA hasn’t announced what games exactly will use the Unreal Engine 3 at this moment, but I personally hope Condemned 2 is one of the titles to get the Unreal Engine 3 treatment. [...]
