From VU Games:
In Tribes:Vengeance gamers become immersed in a roiling galactic thriller.
Throughout the game, the player catches glimpses of myriad interrelated stories
that unfold behind-the-scenes and is given the opportunity to experience the
full scope of the single-player story through multiple viewpoints and
characters. Utilizing the all-new Vengeance Engine powered by Unreal technology,
the world is brought to life with characters that have facial expressions and
fully-realized personalities, vehicles that kick up dust as they pass by, and
weapons that display spectacular effects. Tribes:Vengeance will also build upon
the Tribes series’ legendary online multiplayer action by continuing to focus on
team-oriented goals and fluid movement. Particular focus is being given to
making Tribes:Vengeance easily accessible to the video game modification (MOD)
community. Irrational Games and VU Games have worked together to ensure that
Tribes:Vengeance’s game modification tools are easily accessible and robust.
