BY ROHIT SHIRKE

SnS (Smash and Survive) the car action game title for PS3 being developed by Hyderabad based Zen Technologies has reached a new milestone in its development journey, as first game trailer for the same of 48 seconds was launched recently. The trailer explains more about the plot of the game and what gamers can expect from the game. Click here for the teaser link.

SnS is a story of Frank Marshall. His only aim is to get the villains who killed his son and get it done their way. How does he ensure that each one of them dies an equally painful death as his son? He understands that he cannot match up with the power of his adversaries so the answer is to join them and kill them, by staying with them, by making them trust him, by making sure that no suspicions are raised. But life isn't perfect, is it? They come to know and they set him up. In a climactic battle Frank has to battle not only the team against him but the team with him.

Speaking to GamingXpress Rajat Ojha PMP, GM (Gaming and Project Management), Zen Technologies shared that although the trailer gives out the impression of it being a car racing game it's not the case. "Car fight is just an excuse to show some of the mean machines we have. This game features many first times and innovations like usage of DualShock 3's motion sensing, using world/environment as your weapon to name a few. Primarily it's a car action game but no racing for sure, and at the same time there are 11 characters in the game but there's no shooting involved in the entire game."

The game features single player story mode and both native and external multiplayer mode. Multiplayer offers racing, takedown chasing, stunts and derby style gameplay. "We are taking this game to Game-Connection, Lyon and hoping that many industry people will show interest in our game. We are also hoping to get in-game advertisers interest for the same." Added Rajat.

The major part of the coding is completed and art content is being pushed by the team to be over soon. In terms of numbers, the project is close to 25% done. The game is expected to be released around July 2010 and is expected to make a bang in the European and American market. Zen Technologies is currently taking the game to Game-Connection, Lyon and hoping that many industry people would be interested in the game. Game Connection is a unique speed dating event for business-focused game makers. It is a one-stop shop to meet face to face dozens of targeted potential partners involved in all stages of the production pipeline, from the concept to the outsourcing, publishing, distribution and financing, in back-to-back 30-minute meetings. The company is also hoping to get in-game advertisers interested for the same.
