Sega.com announced the launch of Pod: Speedzone, Ubi Soft's first game for SegaNet. As if that wasn?t enough, Pod: Speedzone will be followed by Ubi Soft's Speed Devils Online Racing.
To celebrate the launch of these two games, SegaNet and Ubi Soft will be working together to create an online Pod: Speedzone tournament to go down in February 2001. Sample CD's of these games can be found in upcoming issues of the Rolling Stone magazine.
Both games will utilize GameLoft's network communications technology for game matching and chat services. Sega.com will use GameLoft servers on the SegaNet backbone that are optimized specifically for the SegaNet network and online gameplay in order to provide optimum performance to SegaNet subscribers.
About the Games:
Pod: Speedzone is the successor to the 3.5 million-selling original, and will be the first online combat racing title available on SegaNet. Racing in eight original vehicles on six multi-layered tracks, up to four players can navigate futuristic landscapes in a high-speed race for survival.
Speed Devils Online Racing combines muscle cars, high-stakes, non-monetary gambling, and twisted 3D landscapes for a demonic racing feast. Gamers have to become the fastest driver by out-performing the competition on one of eight tracks with one of 22 custom built hot-rods.
