Postal III Announced - Using Source.

[Baxster]

Running With Scissors, creators of the Postal franchise, are breaking new ground as they've announced that the next installment, Postal III, wil use the Source engine and will come to the XBox 360.

Currently in development for the Xbox 360 and PC systems, POSTAL III will employ the Source engine (the same technology Valve created to drive Half-Life 2) to deliver a new and advanced technical level of social satire and politically incorrect virtual violence.

POSTAL III will include motion-captured performances by a wide array of celebrities – from film stars to Playboy Playmates – as well as a storyline that offers gamers vast latitude in terms of their behavior. We've always maintained since publishing the original POSTAL that the game is only as violent as the player wants it to be and we're committed to expanding this unique form of gameplay in this next addition to the ongoing storyline, RWS CEO Vince Desi vowed.

The player will once again be cast as the nameless Postal Dude, the star of all previous versions of the game, including POSTAL 2: Share The Pain and POSTAL 2: Apocalypse Weekend. POSTAL III is scheduled for release some time in 2008.
