Left Behind Video Game
I saw this on Gamespot today:
Left Behind Games today announced that it will be publishing a real-time strategy PC game based on the Left Behind novels. Left Behind: Eternal Forces is appropriately scheduled for release "between Christmas 2005 and Easter 2006." Left Behind Games was established in 2001, and it aims to bring morally just and family-friendly games to the masses.
The game is set after the Rapture has taken the faithful up to heaven. Satan's forces are slowly taking over the world, slowly bending countries to their will. As part of the rebel Tribulation Forces, gamers will fight in apocalyptic battles in New York City.
Eternal Forces crosses over from the series of novels written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. The Christian books have sold more than 63 million copies across the world, and the first two novels were adapted into films starring Growing Pains actor Kirk Cameron.

This could be very good...
...or very bad!
I'd assume bad, but maybe they can pull it off!
Now, a left behind game using the Grand Theft Auto engine... that could work!

Meh......these games are usually you know ummmm how should I put this......extremely corny.....they usually are comprised of a little polygonal dude walking around and starting "missions" that are usually "find this item before time runs out" or "rescue this person" or "complete this mini game" or something cheesy like that but I wont knock it till I try it
I think this will be another one of those poorly adapted games, but I won't be too harsh on it until we actually start getting some info on it.
While we're on the topic of RTS's, check this one out. I have NEVER seen graphics like this in an RTS before. It's insane!

I know. I totally flipped out when we saw it. I even tried to view one of the videos while running another download that was using all my bandwith.Eugene Kendall wrote:Wow looks like a FPS except without the FPS'nessMe wrote:I think this will be another one of those poorly adapted games, but I won't be too harsh on it until we actually start getting some info on it.

It'd be great to have a "Resident Evil" style game that was Christian, maybe they'll model it like that.

Found a Screen.
Here's a quote from IGN.

Could be good!June 29, 2005 - Fans of the Left Behind Series books will soon be able to join the Tribulation Forces and participate actively in the battle of good versus evil with the launch of the real -time-strategy (RTS) title, Left Behind: Eternal Forces, the first PC game based on the blockbuster apocalyptic series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.
Scheduled for release between Christmas 2005 and Easter 2006, Left Behind: Eternal Forces will put players in command of the apocalyptic battles raging in the streets of New York City between the angelic Tribulation Forces and the demonic Global Community Peacekeepers during the End of Days. Gamers will participate in events from the Left Behind book series in single player mode and battle to capture territory from other players in the multi-player online game mode.
The Left Behind game series will allow play in the same End of Days fictional world as the bestselling Left BehindR novels, which use the prophecies of the Book of Revelation as a framework. The first title, Left Behind: Eternal Forces, is set in the future when the faithful have been gathered up and ascended to
Heaven during the Rapture. In the chaos that follows, the Antichrist has taken the reigns of power at the United Nations and is gathering the countries of the world under his banner. But a small resistance, the Tribulation Forces, have formed to oppose Satan's legions.
The challenge of converting secular/neutral units to fight on the side of light or darkness is sure to present gamers with a deeper level of game play than in other real-time-strategy titles. The company says the scenery will also be the most realistic representation of New York City ever seen in a game. Left Behind Games photographed nearly 500 blocks of the city to create maps and 3D environments in the first title.
