French developer Kylotonn and Britsoft publisher Digital Jesters, who
have been working closely with AMD throughout the development of their
forthcoming FPS Bet On Soldier: Blood Sport, today announced that the
game will ship with a 64-bit version that has been specifically
optimised to take full advantage of the processing power of the 64-bit
AMD AthlonTM 64 FX processor.
The AMD Athlon 64 processor family
continues to exceed expectations in facilitating the creation of
dramatically enhanced and accelerated gaming experiences, with more and
more developers taking advantage of the evolution in processing power.
Developing
the game with built-in 64-bit capability enables much faster access and
processing of data for PC games, allowing developers the freedom to
create larger, more immersive game worlds, faster and smoother frame
rates and, ultimately, a noticeably enriched gaming experience.
"As
a developer we are delighted to be able to work with AMD. The state of
the art tools and technology they've provided allows us to realise our
creative vision in the best possible way," Roman Vincent, CEO, Kylotonn
commented. "We've worked incredibly hard to make Bet On Soldier a solid
and engrossing game, and it's fantastic to be able to further enhance
that experience by optimising everything for the AMD Athlon 64 FX
processor."
"AMD64 computing is taking the gaming community by
storm by offering players the most eye-popping, blood-pumping
experience imaginable," said Bob Brewer, corporate vice president,
Desktop Marketing Segment, Microprocessor Solutions Sector (MSS) at
AMD. "AMD led the charge into this new gaming realm with the
introduction of its innovative AMD64 technology more than two years
ago, and Bet on Soldier: Blood Sport promises to be a riveting addition
to the growing line-up of 64-bit games."
Bet on Soldier is shaping up nicely, and this new deal should hopefully make the game look even more special, and run faster on our gaming rigs. Things are looking steady for a September release.
