New Legends will be a project proudly added to the lineup of launch titles for Microsoft\'s first console, the Xbox. Along with Oddworld: Munch\'s Oddysee and the wickedly dark Malice, New Legends will be the console\'s fighter flagship (and hopefully a standard) for future Xbox fighting games.
Set in a futuristic, yet traditional Hong Kong, New Legends is the all-too-familiar epic of good versus evil from the never-ending depths of hell. Nothing new of course, but not enough is known yet to determine if there could be more to the story.
There are 4 main good guys, probably all of whom you can choose from, similar to Fighting Force. Also like Fighting force, there will be an independant 3rd-person cameral that focuses on not just one fight, but the whole multi-opponent battle. Progressing by battling in free environments, like The Bouncer, while using ancient-futuristic hybrid weapons is sure to be magnificent, barring the usual camera glitches and confusion.
Infinite Machines will be using the Unreal engine for New Legends, which also means that the game will come to PC. If all goes well, New Legends definitely has the potential to be a fantastic addition to the Xbox launch arsenal. That gives Infinite Machines plenty of time to work out kinks and perfect everything down to the final pixel.
