3D Realms and Recoil Games' Earth No More is not the only new intellectual property taking off for the next generation of games. A recent interview with Scott Miller of Radar Group - a newly formed company that exists only to co-develop and co-own original IP for games - has revealed that there could possibly be nine other original game projects being conceptualized. One of them is the sequel to 3D Realms' Prey. More at the full story.

Another lawsuit has been filed against 3D Realms, this time over the first-person shooter Earth No More (Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, PC) whose original idea was allegedly stolen from Cinemagraphix Entertainment. 3D Realms' CEO, however, seems confident that the company will be able to prove its full innocence.

Remember Earth No More, the multiplatform shooter announced by 3D Realms in the middle of last year? Well, it looks like the game's hit a bump on its development path as two men have sued 3D Realms for allegedly stealing their game idea. More in the full article.

Game Informer's latest issue just revealed 3D Realms' "big announcement" and it appears to be headed to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the Windows PC. According to the insider article, the new Unreal Engine 3 title, called Earth No More, is under the development hands of Recoil Gamers - those responsible for the Max Payne series.

 

Sporting gameplay facets that include revolutionary human interaction and conversation-affected AI (reminiscent of BioWare's Mass Effect), real character growth and absolutely no gameplay ripping cutscenes, Earth No More is beset upon a "possible world," where Mother Earth fights back against humanity's constant abuse and experimentation of the environment.

And boy does she pack a whallop: the plot kicks in a small town in New England being quarantined, because of a mysterious outbreak of mutating spores and poisonous red vines (think "War of the Worlds" alien growth). The outbreak spreads and "perverts" everything it happens to cross in its wake.

The player takes on the role of Will Forsyth, a "young chap" who must get to the bottom of the outbreak with four other characters who won't necessarily serve as your "squad." "The team is intricately analyzing how group dynamics work in movies like the 'Alien, The Thing,' 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers,' and '28 Days Later,' hoping to emulate that kind of tension in game form," the developers said.
