Gameloft Announces 'N.O.V.A. Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance Elite'

posted March 31st, 2011 12:19 PM EDT by Eli Hodapp in News

Recently Gameloft announced yet another upcoming title on their Facebook page. In the wake of N.O.V.A. [$4.99 / Lite / HD] and N.O.V.A. 2 [$6.99 / Lite / HD] comes N.O.V.A. - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance Elite. Aside from the following promo image, that's all we know right now.

Now, even though Gameloft is being incredibly vague with details currently, we can likely make a few semi-safe assumptions here. First off, Gameloft never shows off games that aren't at least somewhat close to being released, so it seems unlikely that we'll be waiting that long for this game. Also, last month Gameloft announced that they will be using the Unreal Engine in the future. Given that the N.O.V.A. series is one of their more popular franchises, it seems reasonable that Elite might be one of the first Gameloft UE3 games.

We'll just have to wait to find out!

    I've played the first N.O.V.A., since my pc is old and I simply don't have money to buy a state of the art gaming system I normally play oldies, and dude, N.O.V.A. definately got it's place in my mind among games like Half-Life, Half-Life II, Halo, Black, Medal of Honour and Call of Duty. I wait no less from this new edition. :D

    I'm excited to see what Gameloft is up to with this one. They're consistent, and I like that. Oh yeah, and it has guns. SOLD.

  • GodSon

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say this version of N.O.V.A. will be all about Multiplayer(co op campaigns, deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, etc) and freemium based. May even be on a monthly membership knowing Gameloft. We'll see I guess...

    • Adams Immersive

      I think multiplayer too. Otherwise it would be NOVA 3.

      Could be fun! Halo MP certainly is...

    I find it unlikely that this game would be based on Unreal Engine. It'd be a lot of work for them to move everything over so quickly to a different system. But if that is the case, then that would be fantastic.

  • Awesome

    It would be epic if it is with UE3. Then it would be first UE3 fps game i would run. Even AA3 lags on my hd 3600, sempron 3000+ (1.8 ghz, single core), but yeah i think gamelofts too lazy to move to UE3 so fast (+ they have to pay 20-30% money they get to Epic games, 30% to Apple, so they get only 50%/ 60% of selling UE3 powered game :P )

    • Sloth_machine

      I believe Gameloft stated they would have '3' unreal engine games out by the end of the year.

      • LBG

        No, 2 this year and 2 next year.

  • DarkSideDanger

    Halo 3 with Unreal iOS! Looks like with the 3 characters standing together that there will be coop and even bigger multiplayer maps with vehicles and such(ala halo 3 upgrades). Unreal iOS would make it really comparable to console (kinda) and I can't think of an iOS developer more capable of making an awesome unreal game especially enhanced for the iPad 2 and newer itouchable devices.

  • legowiz

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and conclude that this is a Halo Reach clone...at least that's what it looks like from the promo pic...

    • Ghost

      Agreed

    My money is on this being the CS: Source of N.O.V.A. titles: the original, all done up in unreal 3 engine. What better way to stretch your legs than re-creating what you've already made? Plus they get a quicker return on investment in the engine in the process. Brilliant.

    You must be joking. NOVA got it's place in my mind among HALF LIFE? WTF? Have you even played half-life? LOL! You must be sarcastic, if you actually mean this you must be retarted because Half-Life and Half-Life 2 are 10 times better than any other game I've ever played.

      It does seem like something of an overstatement... or just a weird opinion.

    • http://twitter.com/21tigermike Michael A. Robson

      The best game you've ever played is a FPS? Pfft.. fail

    as long as it has a solid singleplayer portion, i'll be interested.

  • canton

    you can tell from the preview image shot it is not ue3. It is not complex enough of a suit design to be utilizing ue3 not to mention preview images look 10 times better than the game really does

    • Anonymous

      Looks like concept art to me, your theory has no real evidence behind it. Why change the suit design when it's been utilized in several games already? They've got it how they want it, perhaps simplicity is a feature of the design. Way too many questions can be thrown at that statement.

      U3 isn't all about graphics anyway, that's just a nice feature of the engine.

      There's no way that's in game footage anyway, so let's not judge anything right away.

  • ENDWARO7

    Wow wait hold on a minute!!!!!!! Is this a game for pc and maybe mac? Wtf? I thought it was for iOS?

    • Anonymous

      Where'd you get that from? The article never says that.

  • Tikicobra

    Halo: Reach
    N.O.V.A: Elite

  • osujxu

    theres no way theres gona be a whole new campaign. this is definately mutliplayer only

    • Ben

      Ps3 multiplayer maybe? Like they done with modern combat:domination, which is completely rubbish btw! Gameloft make good mobile games but poor console versions! Let's hope its an iOS unreal version!!

  • E_Domina

    im guessing some sort of multiplayer only type game

  • Leo Tard

    Whatever it is, I hope its better than that Rainbow Six turd.

  • SMP

    I hope not.It's fine if it is, I would just like for at least one of Gamelofts Unreal Games to be something I care about. No offense to their generic Halo/Metroid rip off,because I actually have little patience for Halo on the 360 these days. Buts that's just my 99 cents.

  • Whiteplayer3d

    Is this too for iPod Touch 4G??

    • DSDanger

      Yes. What a stupid question!

  • ratonbox

    Everybody is pretty much wrong about N.O.V.A. Elite. This is what I can tell you: if you have any kind of mobile phone then you will be able to play this game. :D
