PC specialists Paradox unveiled three new games at GDC yesterday. One is The Showdown Effect, which if you can make it past the intro in the trailer above unfurls into something that looks like Worms and Quake III had a tiny, split-screen baby.
The basic premise is recreating action movie insanity. Up to eight players will have everything from guns to bigger guns to swords to lightsabers at their disposal.
If the focus on multiplayer mayhem on a PC sounds familiar, it’s being developed by Arrowhead, the guys behind 2011’s Magicka. The Showdown Effect will be out on PC and Mac in Q3 this year.
