Redwood City, Calif., – July 25, 2005 – Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that it has been granted the rights to develop games based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic literary fiction, The Lord of the Rings. Since 2001, EA has developed games based exclusively on New Line’s Academy Award winning theatrical productions of The Lord of the Rings, as depicted by Peter Jackson. The expansion of the rights allows EA to introduce players to depths of the fiction never before explored in an EA game. The company also revealed today the first details of two new games in the blockbuster The Lord of the Rings series; The Lord of the Rings™, The Battle for Middle-earth™ II and The Lord of the Rings™ Tactics (working title). With the new games, fans will be able to step into a world that looks like the films, but experience characters, environments and battles that have been inspired by the books.
The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II is the next PC installment to EA’s blockbuster The Lord of the Rings™ series of video games. The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Real-time Strategy (RTS) game from EA Los Angeles, The Lord of the Rings™, The Battle for Middle-earth™. The newest The Lord of the Rings PC title will introduce players to depths of the fiction never before explored by EA, in accordance with an agreement with The Saul Zaentz Company d/b/a Tolkien Enterprises that grants EA the rights to develop games based on the books, in addition to a separate agreement that allows for games based on the New Line films. Expanding on The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth, the new RTS game will allow players to engage in heated battles with Elven and Dwarven armies plus heroes and creatures that have never been seen in a The Lord of the Rings film.
“The new rights have unlocked the world of Middle-earth for The Lord of the Rings and strategy game fans alike. We’re building a deeper, richer, bigger game based on the #1 RTS from the previous holiday season in North America with new fantasy races, places, heroes, and battles from both the books and films,” said Mike Verdu, Senior Producer of The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth at EA.
The Lord of the Rings™ Tactics for the PSP™ (PlayStation® Portable) system will put players in the universe of Middle-earth from the books and films and allow them to lead the Fellowship or take control of the forces of Shadow. The tactical strategy game features player-customized characters and a rich system of items, upgrades and skills. Players can guard their heroes, seize high ground, set ambushes and trap enemies while fighting battles across famous locations of the books and films to determine the future of Middle-earth. The Lord of the Rings Tactics will allow them to pit their customized heroes against up to four other players via WiFi. A unique, simultaneous turn-taking system allows for fast-paced play.
“Now that we are expanding our Lord of the Rings universe to encompass Tolkien’s books, we’ll be able to combine the visual impact of the films with those complex stories,” said Steve Gray, Executive Producer of The Lord of the Rings Tactics at EA. “The RPG genre, in particular, is a great medium for story telling. We are delving into unexplored depths of Tolkien’s works to deliver new, compelling and immersive experiences. The Lord of the Rings Tactics gives RPG fans a first look at how we will do this.”

Posts: 70 | new air max shoes on sale,Each season has its own unique characteristics: spring recovery of all things pink Liulv, birds singing in the branches, small animals, playing on the grass; Xiatian Lie on the sky, the children in the pool, swim, catch fish; winter refused to yield, it planted a piece of sparkling snow, let the children leave their footprints on the snow, piled up one plump snowman. chinazuowen
But in my mind, fall is always beautiful. Although it is not colorful in spring, summer, vibrant, winter snow, but it gives the farmers uncle joy of harvest, especially in that yellow leaves, made ​​me admire. Normally green leaves began to deteriorate one to fall, and it slowly from deep green to light yellow, then yellow into yellow, and finally slowly become brown, with autumn falling down piece by piece to form a beautiful landscape. chinazuowen
Some might say: no use of these leaves a little bit, just a bunch of garbage. Then you can really wrong. Picked up a few leaves, with a glue stick in a picture of white paper, has become a lovely little animals; with leaves color pen to write few words of blessing words, the leaves became poetic greeting cards. There is a more appropriate poem: Fallen flowers are not heartless things, into Chunni more quadrangle. Leaves not to leave their home, where it grows out, but to raise it for the tree to do the tree dedication, to make it look more lush next spring. To this end, it is hard to absorb nutrients in the spring and summer to fall, into fertilizer, penetrate into the roots. chinazuowen
Students, of course, blooming flowers of spring, summer, lush trees of course, of course, white winter snow, autumn leaves, but the dedication of more valuable, is it not our lack of a universal human quality? |
