Eidos showed off a number of original and impressive games on the show floor of E3. One of them, called I'm Going In, is a first-person shooter that's currently under development at Norway-based Innerloop Studios. Unlike other games in the genre, I'm Going In stresses the importance of covert action and stealth over the all-out use of firepower.
I'm Going In places you in the shoes of Jones, a special operative who's been inserted in Eastern Europe to track down a Russian colonel who has gone mad. The game is mission-based, and each level will call upon Jones to complete a variety of different tasks. In the version of I'm Going In we played, Jones was inserted into an air base to search for an imprisoned ally. To get to the prison facility, however, we had to make our way past numerous guards, APCs, and even Hind helicopters while constantly avoiding security cameras and making sure not to trip other security systems.
Confrontations, however, are inevitable - and a wide variety of weapons are available from mission-to-mission to make dispatching enemies easier. I'm Going In will feature a number of small arms, rifles, and explosives, as well as essential items like binoculars and handheld global-positioning satellite units. The build we played already had a large array of weaponry, including a combat knife, a Glock 17 pistol, a silenced H&K MP3, an AK-47, a minigun, and a fragmentation grenade.
I'm Going In is currently scheduled for a late August or early September release. In the meantime, however, take a look at this batch of 25 exclusive screenshots.
