2004
EIDOS AND MACROSPACE TEAM UP FOR CRASH
'N' BURN TURBO
Eidos, one of the world's leading publishers
and developers of entertainment software,
and Macrospace, the global provider
of mobile games and mobile gaming services,
announce a deal to bring Crash 'n' Burn
TurboTM to mobile phones.
Under the terms of the agreement Macrospace
will publish the mobile phone version
of Eidos' forthcoming arcade-style driving
game Crash 'n' BurnTM. In partnership
with Eidos, Macrospace will actively
promote the mobile title across all
geographies and handset technologies,
with versions of the game planned for
Java, BREW and i-mode phones.
Crash 'n' Burn Turbo is a fast and
furious driving game where the aim is
not just to win races, but to survive
them. Choose your car, personalise it,
and then attempt to leave your opponents
trailing in a cloud of nitrous smoke
over 16 different street circuits. You
can also compare your fastest times
against players around the world. Crash
'n' Burn Turbo will be released in November,
simultaneously with the PlayStation
2 and Xbox versions of Crash 'n' Burn.
Kristian Segerstråle, head of
products and services at Macrospace
says:
"The chance to develop the mobile
version of such a stunning console title
is a great win for Macrospace, and working
with such a great company as Eidos has
been a really positive experience. Creating
mobile games in tandem with console
titles creates a unique opportunity
for adding to the overall game experience.
Through Macrospace's mobile expertise
and Eidos' proven strength in the console
and PC space, gamers can be sure that
they will be getting a fantastic game
to play, whatever the platform."
Simon Protheroe, Eidos' director of
new media and online technologies says:
"Macrospace has done an exceptional
job in recreating the excitement of
the console version of Crash 'n' Burn
on a mobile phone. With the compelling
gameplay on offer, coupled with Macrospace's
exceptional distribution reach, we are
confident that Crash 'n' Burn Turbo
will be a big hit with mobile gamers."
