CRAVE TO RELEASE NINTENDO GAMECUBE & Xbox
VERSIONS OF FUTURE TACTICS: THE UPRISING

Game Blends RPG With Action/Adventure

LOS ANGELES, CA - January 28, 2004 -Crave Entertainment, a leading
publisher of console videogames, announced today that it will release of
Future Tactics: The Uprising, an all-new action/role-playing game for the
Xbox? video game system from Microsoft and Nintendo GameCube. Crave
recently announced that it would release Future Tactics: The Uprising for
the PlayStation?2 computer entertainment system. All three versions of
Future Tactics: The Uprising will be available in the first quarter of 2004.

Packed with action, Future Tactics is a turn-based tactical RPG that looks
and feels like an action/platform game. Built around a highly complex
turn-based battle engine, the adventure showcases a single-player Story
Mode, as well as a two-player Battle Mode.  The plot is set in the not too
distant future, when Earth as we know it has succumbed to a race of
extra-dimensional creatures. Now the final hope for restoring order to the
planet rests on the shoulders of a young boy, his sister and a rag-tag
assembly of unlikely warriors.

Future Tactics: The Uprising features:

- 18 stylized and high-polygon characters interacting in rich, full 3D
environments

- Unique, number-free turn-based tactical combat system designed to keep
players immersed in the action, not the stats

- 19 action-packed, highly intense levels waiting to be conquered

- Massively deformable terrain. Landscape can be permanently destroyed,
leaving behind craters and canyons.

- Compelling storyline told through fully animated and voiced cut scenes

- Two-player customizable battle mode lets gamers tweak handicaps, power-ups
and victory conditions

- Experience point system allows custom building of team members, allocating
upgrades as players see fit

- Boot Camp tutorial mode allows novice players to learn good tactics right
away

Scheduled for release in March 2004, Future Tactics: The Uprising will be
available for the Xbox , Nintendo GameCube and the PlayStation 2 computer
entertainment system.

awesome! more RPG's! By the way, is this how PGC is gonna release news - through the message boards? I thought this was just temporary as they fixed some problems they were having, or are they still having the problems?

I like this system better since users can give a direct feedback to a article.

[WesDawg]

I like this way too. That way we can all tell everyone about our joys and sorrows.

yeah i like it too... even thought it seems it take away the authentic feel of the news it is still cool cuz the readers can have an input right at the bottom afterwards.

[RyanGassxx]

I also agree... This is an excelent way to go... Other gaming sites should have a similar setup...

they make me want to scream

[Uglydot]

Numberless combat...I can't wait to see exactly how this is pulled off.

[SearanoX]

Another RPG?  Without numbers?  Well, I suppose it's somewhat...innovative.  Hopefully it isn't just a Diablo clone.

[Polemistis]

Sounds pretty nice!! It's great that we are getting another RPG!

Let's wait and see. I don't expect a lot from cross-platform releases.
