Gamersfirst has quite a record of their library being filled with one of the two: dying MMORPGs and Korean MMORPGs, or any combination of the two. In May, Gamersfirst announced that the company was restructuring to focus more on in-house developed games rather than the usual library of Korean cookie-cutter titles. As a result, War … Continue reading “Reloaded Games Absorbed Into Gamersfirst Hive Mind”
TERA is 50 gigabytes. That is as many as five tens and that is terrible. For some, fifty gigabytes may be too much of an investment in terms of bandwidth or time to give TERA’s seven day trial a go. Luckily this is where Gaikai comes in. Founded in 2008, Gaikai is an online cloud-based … Continue reading “Our Thoughts: TERA Gaikai”
I hate to be the pessimist, but with 65 hours left on the Kickstarter and about $225,000 left to go, I think there is a small chance Storybricks may not make its goal in time. Now, I’d hate to see Storybricks fade into the background after the Kickstarter falls through, so I got in touch … Continue reading “Kickstarter Is Not The Last of Storybricks”
Let’s talk history. Back in 2010, Rhode Island lured 38 Studios from Massachusetts to their own state with the promise of a $75 million loan, under the promise that 450 jobs would be created. The loan was a product of controversy among Rhode Island politicians, especially as the loan would be hedged on a studio that had … Continue reading “Rhode Island Working To Keep 38 Studios Solvent”
Looks like we haven’t seen the last of Earthrise. SilentFuture announced today that they are taking over the MMO, giving the game a fresh coat of paint and a new skeletal structure, and gearing it up for launch late this year. Interestingly enough, Earthrise will no longer be a post-apocalyptic game, but rather set during … Continue reading “Earthrise Is Back: SilentFuture Takes Over”
Everquest on Mac is interesting, to say the least. Almost like Everquest Online Adventures, Everquest Macintosh is a rather different game than Everquest on Windows. Released in 2003, EQMac lost pace with Everquest’s development a long time ago, leaving it very far behind in terms of development. But even without the same level of support … Continue reading “Sony Shuttering Everquest On Mac”
Pathfinder Online almost sounds like a cheap title one might use to parody an MMO with poor AI. That being said, the folks over at Goblin Works have piqued my interest with the announcement that death in Pathfinder will function similar to the old Everquest corpse walk, and yes I just used the words “upcoming … Continue reading “Pathfinder Online Invokes Everquest/RuneScape Death Mechanics”
I love combat as much as the next person, but any MMO needs things to do in the off time between snapping Batman’s spine or turning The Joker into kebabs with your mighty blades of glory. So crafting in DC Universe has been a long time coming, oft talked about but not in much detail … Continue reading “DC Universe Introduces Crafting!”
Even if you hate CCP, even if you have no interest in Eve Online or DUST 514, you have to admit that the very concept of an space ship MMO on the PC interacting in real time with a first person shooter on the Playstation 3 is astounding and exciting. DUST is expected to release … Continue reading “Games To Look Out For: CCP Edition”
Going into this article, I assumed I’d have trouble lowering my list to eleven items. Truth be told, I actually had more trouble filling this list than I did culling an even larger list. It must be my power of 20/20 hindsight to look at events of the past and think “well that actually didn’t … Continue reading “Eleven Things I Hated About 2011: 2011 Edition”
