Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway Preview

The development team also focused a lot on authenticity. Towns and villages have been reconstructed using actual historical photographs of war-stricken zones from WW II. Consequently, the streets and buildings are accurately portrayed, giving the whole in-game ambiance a distinct feel of 1944, with shattered structures still burning from devastating bomb raids and so on.

Yep, that's Hell's Highway alright!

It's alright. It's nothing! Just a small bang.

Technically, the developers are working hard to polish almost every aspect of the game to make it work and look equally well on all platforms - PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Mind you, they did admit certain visual elements will be scaled down a bit on the X360 and PS3 (Here's hoping it does not affect the PC version - Ed.).

You should also know that Hell's Highway is going to ship in Windows XP and Vista variants. They're still not sure if the Vista edition will support certain advanced Live for Windows features (achievements and the like).

For now, Ubi hasn't revealed much beyond these details. The game is scheduled to arrive for the three aforementioned platforms, some time before the end of 2007. We hope to learn more come the GC at Leipzig.
