LAS VEGAS, BASKING RIDGE, N.J. and PARIS, Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/
– From the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Verizon Wireless
and Gameloft today announced that Asphalt 6: Adrenaline and N.O.V.A. 2 – Near
Orbit Vanguard Alliance are being shown at the Verizon booth (Las Vegas
Convention Center, South Hall, Booth #30259). Showcasing the ultimate power of
Verizon’s 4G LTE network, both games have been optimized to take advantage of
the network with multiplayer options being demoed at the event, while Asphalt 6:
Adrenaline will also demo the new in-game voice chat function.
Asphalt 6: Adrenaline, Gameloft’s latest installment to the popular Asphalt
series, is an adrenaline-pumping mobile game featuring HD graphics, online/local
multiplayer modes, and an assortment of vehicles and race tracks. Offering one
of the most immersive racing experiences currently available on Verizon Wireless
devices, CES attendees will have the opportunity to sample a new in-game voice
chat feature customized to run on the HTC Rezound(TM) over 4G LTE. Up to three
players at a time will be able to chat with one another through the Gameloft
Live multiplayer option.
N.O.V.A. 2 – Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance, the sequel to the ultimate mobile
sci-fi first-person shooter (FPS), invites attendees to get the most out of the
multiplayer experience over 4G LTE. In working with the Verizon Application
Innovation Center, attendees are given the chance to play through a civil war
between the central government of the Terran Orbitals and the self-appointed
Human-Alien Alliance, in addition to being given the option of being joined by
up to six friends at a time on the Samsung Galaxy Tab(TM) 10.1.
