LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games)
announced today that the company has forged a technology, marketing, and
promotional relationship with ATI Technologies, the leading graphics card
supplier, in support of the PC videogame Tribes:Vengeance, due to be released
in the United States on October 5th.
The two companies will collaborate in efforts to showcase Tribes:Vengeance
through advertising campaigns, special events, and online evangelism.
More information about Tribes:Vengeance can be found on the game's official

"Tribes:Vengeance takes full advantage of the latest and greatest graphics
cards from ATI so it makes perfect sense to work closely with them," said
Michael Pole, Executive Vice-President, Worldwide Studios, VU Games. "This
holiday it'll be hard to beat the combination of Tribes' Vengeance Engine and
ATI's graphics technology."
"ATI has been working closely with VU Games to enable the most intensive
graphics experience imaginable in Tribes:Vengeance," said Andy Thompson,
Director of Advanced Technology, ATI. "Tribes:Vengeance will bring
high-definition gaming to life for end-users like never before."
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(TM)
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.
