Exit voor Hei$t

Uitgever Codemasters heeft de stekker getrokken uit de game Hei$t. Het spel lag al een tijd aan de hartbewaking. Nadat in 2007 de aankondiging gedaan was bleef het angstvallig stil. Het is wel jammer dat Hei$t is geannuleerd. Codemasters had namelijk niemand minder dan Rutger Hauer gecontracteerd voor één van de stemvertolkingen.


Tegenover de website CVG heeft Codemasters dit nieuws bevestigd. Het bedrijf wil zich gaan focussen op 'games van een hoge kwaliteit'. Om een idee te krijgen waar de game overging, hierbij de beschrijving van Hei$t. Maar eerst de preview trailer waarin een ontwikkelaar van InXile Entertainment laat weten hoe tof Hei$t wel niet wordt.



It's 1969, the summer of love in San Francisco. Enter Johnny Sutton, fresh out of jail and a descendant from a long line of big-time thieves, including his father who was gunned down during a job some years back. Playing as Johnny, and together with his Uncle Sal and reunited crew, players are set pull off dozens of heists that will inevitably make a name for him as the greatest bank robber of all time. In addition to knocking off banks, each with their own set security precautions, throughout the city, players will be highly motivated to pull off further jobs. These include raiding bars, restaurants, strip clubs, armoured cars, and more in order to acquire the bigger and better tools needed to penetrate the increasingly more difficult banks. And what great bank robbery is complete without ending in a hot pursuit police chase? After each hit, HEI$T will challenge players to make a quick getaway, speeding and screeching through the streets of San Francisco as the cops trail inches behind. The Fuzz will do everything within their means to prevent the great escape; they will bump and ram, form barricades, and attempt to force PIT maneuvers to spin the getaway vehicle out of control – always trying to keep civilian losses to a minimum of course
