Epicenter Studios announced today its development of Real Heroes: Firefighter (working title) exclusively for the Nintendo Wii.
A firefighting game that uses the Wii remote as a hose? Sign us up!
Real Heroes puts players in the boots of a rookie firefighter who has just been assigned to a busy metropolitan fire station. “Combining our unique fire tech with the specific strengths of the Wii was a natural choice for us as we designed Real Heroes,” says Epicenter CCO Bryan Jury. “The Wii-mote makes spraying down fires with your hose, hacking down doors with your axe and prying victims loose from wrecked cars with the Jaws of Life an absolutely visceral game experience.”“The Wii is a family-friendly console and we’ve designed Real Heroes with that in mind,” notes Epicenter CEO Nathaniel McClure. “Because firefighting requires a lot more than dousing flames, Real Heroes emphasizes non-violent, game-integral puzzles that mirror the challenges and on-the-fly choices firefighters actually face.”“We are making every effort to create a game that is intense and engaging, but always respectful to firefighters who, we believe, are real heroes,” states McClure.Real Heroes is scheduled for a holiday 2008 release.
