Police Warfare

A new game has been announced by Kickstarter. It is called Police Warfare. It has gotten through the planning stages but one obstacle stands in their way of making the game similar to Call of Duty, Battlefield and HEAT. The obstacle is funding. They do not have any funds to actually start working on the game so they are asking for people who looks interested in this game and knows it has potentials to help fund it. They are not asking for hundreds of dollars from the people just a little money.

Proof:

Since Double Fine made a small fortune
on Kickstarter, dozens of new projects have appeared asking for our
hard earned cash. Some of the campaigns are interesting ideas backed by
unproven teams, others, like the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter and the Double Fine adventure game drive, are driven by veteran teams going back to their roots.

Police Warfare is different. It’s a large scale cops vs. robbers
shooter inspired by HEAT, Battlefield 3 and GTA, built by a collection
of developers that have worked on big titles like Far Cry 3, Gears of
War, Crysis, Crysis 2, Assassin’s Creed 2 and Grand Theft Auto 4. Police
Warfare’s set up is simple. One team steps into the boots of an LA SWAT
squad, the other into the sneakers of a bunch of armed robbers. Both
have access to a collection of guns and copious amounts of ammo. Guess
what happens next.

The early assets shown in the trailer above look pretty realistic, but the Kickstarter page
highlights some of the more exotic weapons law enforcers will be able
to use to stop rampaging criminals. As well as vehicles like choppers
and armoured cars, they’ll get taser guns, mines and small bomb disposal
robots fitted with guns. There’s also some promising talk about a
system that allows players to “quickly and intuitively rappel from
rooftop to ground zero, all while retaining full shooting controls on
the way down.” Much Rainbow Six has been played in the office, the idea
of being able to smoothly jump into a rappell harness and drop on
enemies’ heads sounds most satisfying.

It’s been in development for eight months already, but the developers
have run out of money, and are turning to the community for help. Their
Kickstarter campaign is looking to raise a hefty $325,000 over the
course of the coming month, and there area some pretty tempting rewards
on offer for the super-rich. Backers who donate $10k will get to “spend a
full day suited up in real SWAT gear and learn the tactics used by
todays foremost swat teams.” That comes with firearms training from the
law enforcement officers advising on the project.

Alternatively, you can always pledge the minimum $15, which will get
you a copy of the game on release, and grant you access to multiplayer
beta sessions and a place in the credits. Those who put up $100 will get
access to a secret class and a unique weapons loadout that will remain
exclusive to Kickstarter backers forever. 380 backers have already
contributed $12,250 to the project. There are 32 days left to go. Thanks
to Thomas M for the heads up.

I for one thinks this game has tons of potentials as seeing that it looks good from the artworks and the fact that its on US soil and you are either a robber or a cop. Sounds great to me.
