As society succumbs to a worldwide energy crisis, a new global depression takes hold. Amidst this desperate backdrop, two superpower alliances emerge. Join the battle on the frontlines of tomorrow as the Western Coalition or the Red Star Alliance. Demiurge Studios has been enlisted by THQ’s Kaos Studios to optimize the gameplay experience in Frontlines: Fuel of War.
Frontlines: Fuel of War is an open-world First Person Shooter set in the next great war. In a world ravaged by a global energy crisis, environmental decay, and economic depression, players assume the role of an elite soldier in the Western Coalition Army on an epic crusade against the Red Star Alliance to control the lifeblood of the world’s economy. Frontlines: Fuel of War combines intensely cinematic, non-linear game play, with next generation firepower and a revolutionary Frontline Combat System to deliver the most thrilling and engaging FPS to date.
With the truly immense outdoor environments in their upcoming title, Kaos needed to make sure that the game will excel in multiplayer formats and vehicle use. Demiurge’s extensive prior experience with UE3 was a natural fit to work hand-in-hand with Kaos’ artists and designers to ensure F:FoW experiences first-rate Alpha and Beta periods.
“Kaos has put together an incredible game in Frontlines: Fuel of War,” said Al Reed, Studio Director at Demiurge. “We’re excited to use our know-how to help them smooth out such an enormous gamespace.”
By fine-tuning the UE3s frame rate and memory capabilities, Demiurge is ensuring Kaos’ capacity for developing and running its huge in-game world as efficiently as possible.
