Little-known publisher Barometer Games (Gulliver Stays Home, Three Mice Who See Quite Well) is said to be making quite an announcement at their E3 event this year. The publisher has reportedly already struck a deal with Infinity Ward to develop a new interation of a game played by most elementary school students in the early 80’s. Oregon Trail, is on the comeback trail.
Without divulging too many details, an Infinity Ward receptionist was nice enough to read the developer’s official comment to us over the phone. Thank’s Cathy!
“Infnity Ward will be using the Call of Duty 4 Engine to take gamers back to the age of covered wagons and hostile natives. Rather than limit the experience to an educational foundation, Oregon Trail: Fight to Survive will challenge players to cross a 1:1 scale replica of the United States, while combating hostile indians who will absorb realistic damage, extreme conditions, and realistic diahrea. While no release date for this game has been projected, we anticipate completion of this title by Q2 2009.

‘A game played by most elementary school students in the early 80’s.’
Hell- we were playing it at secondary school only last year!
I’d definitely buy it. If the option for cowboys vs. indians multiplayer was available I’d sing Infinity Ward’s praises to the ends of the earth.

Lol, they have remade Oregon Trail for the phone actually. Its a crap game still though.
