Latest WILD ARMS is a Retelling of the RPG that Started it AllPosted on Sunday, May 23, 2004 @ 07:24:35 pm E.S.T
AGETEC, Inc., a leading publisher of entertainment software, today announced that it will bring WILD ARMS(R) Alter code: F, a brand new title based on the original WILD ARMS(R), to North America exclusively for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system this Winter.
Developed by Media Vision and published by Sony Computer Entertainment in Japan, WILD ARMS(R) Alter code: F, is a true, traditional role-playing game (RPG) offering fresh, new characters, enhanced graphics, intricate puzzles and an innovative new battle system. Set within a background of stunning music from the critically acclaimed composers of the WILD ARMS(R) and WILD ARMS(R) 2 soundtracks, WILD ARMS(R) Alter code: F delivers an epic role-playing adventure coupled with emotionally-inspired CG sequences to enhance the classic heroic storyline.
"We are proud to have been selected as Sony Computer Entertainment's third-party publisher for WILD ARMS(R) Alter code: F and look forward to building a relationship with Sony Computer Entertainment," said Mark Johnson, Vice President of Marketing, AGETEC, Inc. "The artistic style and addictive gameplay will captivate hard-core gamers and casual adventurers alike." Returning seven years after the first release of WILD ARMS(R) on PS one(TM), WILD ARMS(R) Alter code: F is not only a remake of the foremost title in the series, but a completely renewed and evolved experience with expanded story, system and cutting-edge graphics.
On Filgaia, a planet where severe conditions and savage beasts threaten the very existence of all life, guided by the Ancient Guardians, three brave warriors rise to save their benign world from the returning metal demons -- the prophesized destroyers of Filgaia. In WILD ARMS(R) Alter code: F, players assume the roles of the original cast members from WILD ARMS(R): Rudy -- A mysterious child who wields the evil power christened as "ARM"; Jack -- A swordsman who travels in search of a lost treasure; and Cecilia -- A princess with the gift of a medium to communicate with the Guardians.
Driven by adventure and a calling to reestablish order to their dying world, these "Dream Chasers" prepare to embark on a journey of epic peril, with each unaware of the other's mission to save their world as they are of their own fates. In a world on the brink of ruin from a merciless alien race, the wheels of fortune are about to turn. WILD ARMS(R) Alter code: F is an enchanting adventure that ties together the tales of the three beloved characters with three new playable characters -- Emma, Jane, and McDullen.
Players of the original WILD ARMS(R) will recall that Emma is a brilliant scientist who researches and repairs ARMs, and her expertise with firearms proved to be helpful to the group. They should also recognize Jane Maxwell as the feisty, assertive, and greedy teenager nicknamed Calamity Jane, and McDullen as her faithful and patient butler. Each character possesses unique individual attributes, including their favorite weapons and destructive combat skills that aid in the journey.
WILD ARMS(R) Alter code: F features an enhanced battle system that delivers a cinematic experience with improved features, including crossfire sequences like those utilized in WILD ARMS(R) 3, that provide for extremely intricate and challenging gameplay. Innovative sepia-toned texture "shading" technology brings to life the vibrant and energetic visuals in a western setting, filled with murky dungeons, mystic creations, monster-plagued frontiers and scavenged woods. In addition to featuring a completely 3D world, dungeons will include plenty of new traps to foil players in their quests and characters have plenty of helpful abilities, ranging from the traditional (running, picking up objects, and leaping) to the stealthy (sneaking and observing) to help them through sticky situations.
Features:
-- Over 60 hours of gameplay
-- Dual Layer DVD is used to hold the massive amount of gameplay, music, and graphics.
-- Proven storyline -- combining the story that attracted many players with the latest technology and gaming system.
-- Redeveloped script -- completely rewritten script with new plot twists and puzzle solving.
-- Stunning graphics engine -- detailed characters, enemies, and environments truly bring the game to life.
-- Evolved battle system -- control up to six party members to pummel the enemy.
-- New environmental effects -- blowing wind in the wilderness, sparkling waters, sunlight trickling into towns, and bubbling lava filled ruins. The attention to detail and expression of space are the best in the series.
-- Enhanced "realistic" character graphics -- the familiar super deformed faces from the original were transformed into accurately proportional graphics.
-- Redrawn environments -- the maps, towns, and dungeons were completely recreated and updated into 3D format, and all the visual designs were redrawn from scratch.
-- HDD Support -- load the game directly to the Hard Disk Drive (40GB) (for PlayStation(R)2) to decrease load times.
