131w ago - Today Producer Filipe Pina has shared a video showcasing the Under Siege PlayStation 3 Intro by Axis Animation.

To quote: As you all know we have been busy at Seed Studios preparing for the release of Under Siege.

It is our first PS3 game and we are very happy with what we have achieved so far.

So up to this point besides working on the game we have also worked to get in touch with our fans. For that we have launched an official Web site and forum, started a Facebook page and posted here on the PlayStation.Blog. Feedback has been great and we cannot wait for the day when the game is on sale.

But getting an RTS feature-packed game on PSN was not our only goal, we also wanted the bring out the big guns and give our fans something extra. So I am proud to present the Under Siege intro.





It was made by the nice folks at Axis Animation (who you may remember as the creator of the Killzone 2 intro) and it gives you an introduction to the world of Under Siege....
