Nyt spil – stadig i folie
Descent 3 (stylized as Descent³) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Outrage Entertainment and published by Interplay Productions. It was released for Microsoft Windows on June 17, 1999, for Mac OS in November 1999, and for Linux in July 2000. Descent 3 is the third game in the Descent video game series and a sequel to Descent II. The game takes place in a science fiction setting of the Solar System where the player is cast as Material Defender, a mercenary who must help an organization known as the Red Acropolis Research Team to stop robots infected by an alien virus.
Unlike standard first-person shooters, the player must control a flying ship that has a six degrees of freedom movement scheme, allowing the player to move in any 3D direction. The game features both indoor and outdoor environments, made possible through the use of a hybrid engine that combines the capabilities of a portal rendering engine with those of a flight simulator-like terrain engine. Descent 3 received positive reviews from critics, with an aggregate review score of 89 out of 100 at Metacritic. The most praised aspects of the game were its graphics, enemy AI, and outdoor environments. An official expansion pack, Descent 3: Mercenary, was released on December 3, 1999. The expansion pack includes a new series of missions, multiplayer maps, and a level editor.
