Yeah, I guess that could work. Looks like it's time to update my resume. I've been involved in the gaming industry for 25 years now.

Well Soy I've got you beat by several years so I guess we could start a company and claim to be the most experienced gaming company in existance.

I for one have to echo what Cad said. I have great hopes for 38 Studios but just don't have a warm fuzzy. Too many failures in the last decade and so far only one real success and several luke warm ones. That is not a really strong track record for the industry.

Soygen · 04-05-2007, 01:41 PM

/nod I have hopes for 38 as well, but I'm far too "experienced" a gamer to get overly excited about a MMO these days. Wait and see seems the safest stance.

Having been through a failure myself, I can state that there is no way the 38 Studios company will fail. These guys have set themselves up to be an industry leader, it shows, and will continue to be the case. Their first game will likely do well too, but similar to you I have a harder time getting excited about any MMO nowadays. However I think that has more to do with getting greater enjoyment out of my hobby and other pastimes (such as family life) rather than leveling up in a virtual world.

I like the new website, very nice work. Munch gives me something to play with while I download updates to my audio software

Keep it up guys, looking forward to seeing more in the future.

I'm going to have to forge a metallic munch one of these days and mail it to 'em. I'm just a beginner of a blacksmith, but i think doing munch would be an interesting challenge.

Maxxius · 04-05-2007, 05:21 PM

Munch is kind of cute, but I keep thinking "batman beacon" when he has his mouth wide open heheh.

Watching the game today, and you pitched a pretty damn good game. 7 innings of 4 hit ball. your PC was at 104. if you would like to answer, is your PC at about 100 for now? Anyways, nice way to rebound man.

P.S Papeloban has a nasty spliter with a life freaking fastball.

Why oh why did El Dookie have to come to the NL East.

There is room and untapped markets for quality MMO sports games these days I think, along with more sci-fi and racing style games.

Fantasy meh. No matter how good the Team and the game is the market is full. We have everything from LoTR to Vanguard to EQ2 and WoW in between. All those games will just get better and better.

What could they possibly bring to the mix? Even if it they execute it perfectly how could it compete with a game that has been out for a while if it is just a slightly new twist on the same old shit? Swords, Orcs, Kill 10 rats, 40 gold for a mount, Elfs, LFG, Crafting, harvesting, class balance, too many Rangers, maces, nuking, blah, blah, blah.

A new fantasy game will be Dead on Arrival.

Sounds more like a zombie game.

The only word on what kind of setting their flagship title will encompass is that it's an original IP created by McFarlane and Salvatore, and that they're not saying what it is. While I agree it is hard to imagine what kind of room is left in the Fantasy MMO genre, there's no reason to get worked up over it when we a.) don't know the setting and b.) don't know what's going on in the designers' meetings.

For all we know there's a big resource that has yet to be tapped into concerning fantasy MMORPGs, unnoticed (or unattainable) for years.

(Footnote: I'm not implying you (or others) are getting uppity about it; just don't let the idea bother you until it becomes an issue.)

People have been saying "New fantasy games are doooooomed" since DAOC was announced. Afterall, who needs more when you already have UO and EQ!

There will always be new players, there will always be jaded players looking for a new game to give them that 2-4 month "hit" of "brand new world." You may be burned out on Fantasy settings, but there are plenty of people with credit cards out there that *aren't*, and new players are exposed to these games every day.

Hell, they might even get some baseball fans that have never played MMOs before hehe.

I'm not revved up over the prospects for a new game, because every company goes into their game's design/building hoping to make a cool, fun, good game. Few actually make it there, whether Fantasy setting or not.
