The second game announced today powered by CryEngine 3 is Enemy Front by City Interactive who recently acquired Stuart Black. You may remember Stuart Black as he previously helped make the wonderful game Black for Xbox and PlayStation 2 however there is no mention of his latest game Bodycount. We liked Black much more than Bodycount so maybe they are going for a “sticking to the high points” press release. Anyway Enemy Front is going to be be gritty, how gritty, just look at those screenshots, anymore grit and it’s going to rip your face off with it’s gritty stubble. City Interactive says this is going to be a “realistic tale” so if you came in thinking Inglorious Bastards or Inglourious Basterds we’re guessing it’s not like that, but wait! You’ll get to traverse multiple years, fight head on or in stealthy espionage and sabotage type missions and ensure the defeat of the Nazis by thwarting an evil plan for a super weapon. See so it’s not that bad, we’re sure there’s going to be plenty to shoot in this FPS. Check out the four screenshots below to see how it’s going to look, looks like plenty of action to us.
