ID4 Online, known more formally as Independence Day Online, was an action game developed by Mythic Entertainment, and published by Centropolis Interactive.[2][3][4][5][6][7] It is based on the 1996 film Independence Day.[3]
Gameplay
Independence Day Online is a first-person, multiplayer action game in which players can choose to fight as either the humans or the returning alien invaders, engaging in large-scale battles across key locations in the solar system—including Earth, the Moon, and Mars.[7] The game supports up to 30 players per match, with multiple matches running at once.[7] Combat happens in space, allowing ships to thrust in any direction and rotate freely.[7]
Development
The game uses the NetImmerse 3D game engine and was the first online game that was distributed on a DVD.[8][6][1][3] More than a million copies were distributed.[3] The Independence Day Special Edition contained a one month free subscription to the game.[9]
