Midway's Hour of Victory Screenshots Are Upon Us

We reported yesterday that Midway is working on another addition to the long list of WWII-themed shooters.  Today we give you some screenshots to help sort out whether this will be more like COD or The Outfit.  The screens don't show any heads up displays or other indicators of actual gameplay, so we are probably looking at wishful-thinking renders.  I don't tend to get tired of World War II as a rich source of stories, but more of the same old ideas isn't exactly going to make me jump for joy.

Hour of Victory, scheduled to be available exclusively for Xbox 360 in Summer 2007, allows you to play a key role in the pivotal and cinematic battles from the European and North African theaters of World War II, using the skills and gameplay style you choose. Built with Unreal Engine 3.0, Hour of Victory allows you to sneak into enemy territory as a covert operative, storm the gates as a British commando, or snipe from afar as an Army ranger – each character’s unique attributes will be needed for the fulfillment of the overall objective. Only with all these skill working closely together will you be able to say that you helped define the Hour of Victory.
