The Army National Guard and Rival Interactive are creating a first person 3D shooter
called PRISM: Guard Shield that contains a unique blend of stealth operations and
fast action game play. The game focuses on the unconventional application of new and
emerging weapons and surveillance technologies in the war against terrorism. PRISM
takes place in the near future with the player becoming the newest member of a highly
secretive homeland defense unit known as PRISM. PRISM focuses on familiar locations
in the US such as Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, CA. When terrorist activities
are suspected or potential targets are identified, players are called into action.
PRISM: Guard Shield will have a Mission Mode in which the player is briefed on the
current terrorist threat and given specific mission objectives he must complete to
progress through the game. PRISM also has the popular cooperative multiplayer mission
mode in which players fight on the same team against the game’s AI. At the beginning
of a mission, players choose their specific set of objectives that sometimes may
require help from their teammates. Tactical Combat Mode is a one on one, or team on
team match that gives players many game play configurable options. This game will be
used as a recruitment tool similar to America's Army. On the other hand, PRISM:
Threat Level Red is a commercial version adapted from another game which was made
for training purposes. |
