http://www.sega.com/e3/2006/announcements_tp.php?item=pr_20060502a SEGA ANNOUNCES FULL AUTO 2: BATTLELINES EXCLUSIVELY FOR SONY'S PLAYSTATION 3 CONSOLE Sequel to Award-winning Full Auto Features Strategically Destructible Street Environments to Deliver the Next Generation of Combat-Racing SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (May 2, 2006) - Get ready for the next generation of vehicular mayhem... SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced that Full Auto™2: Battlelines is being developed exclusively for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. Full Auto 2: Battlelines puts high-speed vehicles outfitted with weapons and armor into fully realized and fully destructible urban street environments. Fierce combat-racing will ensue as you strategically use destruction to win races as well as leave massive devastation in your wake. Players can destroy the environment to dynamically change track conditions to block competitors, open new paths, or crush opponents with falling debris caused by well-timed missiles. Full Auto 2: Battlelines, which is the sequel to the award-winning Full Auto, also introduces a new Arena Mode featuring team play and six different levels, each specifically designed for a unique type of multiplayer car combat. "The destructible environments in Full Auto 2: Battlelines are both stunning and strategic, especially in multiplayer combat," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "The gameplay innovations of tactical destruction and team multiplayer vehicular mayhem combined with the tremendous power of Sony's PLAYSTATION 3 console makes this sequel truly the next generation of combat racing." Full Auto 2: Battlelines, currently being developed by Pseudo Interactive, has been combat-enhanced and fully re-designed with an extensive list of features entirely new to the franchise. Players can get behind the wheel of 25 different vehicles ranging from classic muscle cars and low riders to monstrous SUVs and industrial vehicles, each of which can be customized with more than 20 explosive weapons as well as multiple paint schemes and wheel styles. Taking on more than 20 tracks in the game, players will immediately notice how Full Auto 2: Battlelines pushes next-generation technological boundaries with breathtaking displays of destruction, physics, and speed. In the new multi-path single player campaign, players battle to take control of Staunton City by conquering the six different districts and taking control of opponent cars and weapons. The game's six different carnage-filled multiplayer modes, which incorporate team play and objectives ranging from classic deathmatches to unique base assaults and gladiator-style gameplay, deliver a diverse range of competitive options. The sequel implements the fan-favorite Unwreck™ feature, which allows players to turn back time and take another shot at a treacherous turn, avoid a deadly obstacle, or simply avoid enemy fire. With strategic destruction, next generation technology, and innovative, diverse gameplay, Full Auto 2: Battlelines is poised to be one of the most exhilarating combat-racing experiences available for the PLAYSTATION 3 console.

It's on the 360...it looks alright. They had it up at the local GameWorks on an HDTV, but I never got a chance to actually play it. Looks a lot like Twisted Metal... Bel

Well, the first one was alright... the second one was better...but after 989 took over it just fucking fell apart until Black hit. It's definitely one of those games you like or don't though. ;) Bel

I've played it for a bit, it's more like Wreckless with serious scenary destruction and guns. I thought it got old really quick, especially being "next gen" and looking like an Xbox game with better lighting effects and smoke, and movable objects, and scenary destruction (plus framerate dips into the teens). Okay, so it's definitely next gen, but the gameplay was more than a bit too shallow. Unless there's gameplay like crazy dashes and spin outs I didn't uncover, it's pretty much just holding down the gas and shooting things up. Joe blow "I'd like 128 Ride or Die please" ought to have loved it. -- Scott http://www.gamepilgrimage.com

I agree with the decision...but are you sure you're not thinking of Auto Assault instead of Full Auto? ;) Bel

who cares? full auto sucked.

> > ...Rogue Trip... > > I remember only two things about that game: The first level (an > airport), and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones song it featured. It's pretty good...but not nearly as good a TM2, imo. What I did like about it was that the graphics were *so* much better than TM1&2, not to mention the framerate was just so much higher too. Once you get into it, how it plays and whatnot, it's not bad at all. A lot of people were expecting Twisted Metal, which is why I think a lot of people didn't care for it. :( Bel -- Whip Ass Gaming: http://www.whipassgaming.com/ CONSOLE JOKE #3 - Q: MARIO SUNSHINE A: (taht is teh whole joke) - Jeff K's Hottiest Video Games Revwie Artical 2005!!!

What's funny is that PGR racing pretty much made the same mistakes: Really pretty, really shitty. ;) Bel

Full Auto is pants anyway

i'm not a huge fan of PGR3 either. i loved 2 to bits, but 3 seems a bit...wrong... i think its the fact that there's no real sense of progression as there was in 2, with regards to the cars available. -- gamertag: Chrisflynnuk http://live.xbox.com/member/Chrisflynnuk
