StarGate Worlds

Ok, i just attended a "conference" regarding StarGate Worlds earlier during the night. I was expecting more to a "game" talk, but it ended up with a "business" talk =.=" Nvm that, for those who does not know what is StarGate, google for it, its a tv series which is darn popular , especially in the states. I wont go into detail bout the business part cause , im not interested ? xD

The game, which is a MMO(Massive Multiplayer Online) FPS or TPS i dunno cause from the trailer shown, the camera looked awkward ... and i guese it would suck if is in Third Person view , so lets hope its FPS la xD anyway, the game seems only average eventhough they did alot of boasting on how great the game would be. As a game designer, i would try out the game for research purposes xD

Why i say the game is on average ? Its trying to compete with giants out there like WOW but their USP aint Unique at all -.-
1) Dynamic Sound - who cares on how realistic the background music would be if your playing cs ? As long as you can see and hear bullets/footsteps , thats enough for a shooting game.
2) Dynamic graphics - yeah , no doubt this would be a good feature. Seriously good , with the usage of unreal engine 3. BUT !!! Thats only for now .. and they are talking about 10 years worth of survival. Good luck on that when cry engine 3 comes out =_= Still , i give credit for this for the current time xD
3) Dynamic lighting - wont talk much on this, none would understand what im writing here =_=
4) Dynamic technology - Defined by them as " Require Low Specs Computers To Play The Game With Such Good Specs" Yeah right , with unreal engine 3 running ? at least a RM2k pc of the current market to run it at 75% capacity =_="

For those people who wish to be investors , heres something i read up gamasutra. They creators of the game is still shortage on "fundings" and its hard for them to get it , even now at this stage. Also, FireFly there current publisher is sponcering them because no other publisher would, ad FireFly is still very new. Stay sharp for anything new.

Ok, overall a game cannot be totaly judge until you actualy played it. Im hoping kiddy can get me a beta account so i could have a proper overview of the game. Who knows, it might even beat Counter Strike when it is launched. Keep your fingers cross =x

I have a short video which i would upload tomorow if i have time , abit lazy now xD and i just ordered McD !!!

Nitez ~
