Acclaim today announced its first of several
video game releases for the PlayStation2. Acclaim will release
All-Star Baseball 2002 as well a new games based on the Ferrari
Formula 1 and 360 Challenge series on the system.
The company is currently developing several
new games for the PlayStation2 to be released during the Company's
fiscal year 2001 (Sept. 1, 2000 - Aug. 31, 2001). As part
of its PlayStation 2 strategy, Acclaim will develop new character-based
games that will be platform exclusive (a strategy Acclaim
has implemented often in the past but regretted at the end
of the system's life, as is its situation with the N64 currently
- more).
"We are dedicated to working closely with Sony
Computer Entertainment to develop unique titles that take
full advantage of this groundbreaking next generation system,"
said Greg Fischbach, co-chairman and CEO of Acclaim Entertainment.
"We will vigorously support the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment
system with the introduction of new, exciting, and high-quality
titles during the launch period and ongoing. We will launch
several new strong brands, such as Ferrari, and introduce
Acclaim Sports titles leading with All Star Baseball 2002."
