The busy folks at College Humour have once again made teh effort to reach out to geek culture and woo us. This time they pay homage to the classic format of a good 16-bit RPG by wrapping in and poking some fun at Battlestar Galactica.
How politics works in the TERA MMORPG
I’m a big fan of politics in RPGs. In some settings it’s the politics that make the game for me. Back with the other internet dinosaurs and when I had time I used to play a lot on MUSHes. This wasn’t because I was writer. As you can tell – I’m not. This was because […]
The Pathfinder MMO
Paizo has licensed the rights to a MMORPG based on Pathfinder. Pathfinder, which out sold Dungeons & Dragons this year according to some analysts, will be developed by Goblinworks as a massively multi-player online RPG. Goblinworks is an independent, Seattle based, company and brings Mark Kalmes (Microsoft, Cryptic Studios and CCP) to the table. Kalmes […]
How do you get into the RaiderZ beta?
RaiderZ is an MMO from MAIET Entertainment that’s free to play and is being brought to Europe by Frogster. This teaser trailer shows the dragon Sorena waking up and not being too happy about it. Unlike many MMOs RaiderZ does not have a point-and-click combat system. RaiderZ is more freeform and fluid. The enemies in […]
Tera teaser does high fantasy and looks awesome
Tera – actually, I think we’re supposed to call it TERA – looks pretty cool. It’s another combat-centric MMORPG. However, this one is from the heavy hitting Frogster and promises to have a political system that let players experience the MMO community in a new way. It’s just speculation but I wonder how far they’ll […]
Aeria’s Perfect World trailer
Perfect World is a MMORPG from Aeria Games. The company has been producing these sexy cinematic videos for the game… which I don’t think relate to the visual aspects of the game itself but add to the mythology and look cool. Will this blogger post a video just because it looks cool? Yes. Yes he […]
More pictures from Syfy’s new sci-fi TV show and MMO
The working title for this project still seems to be Defiance although I’m sure it was announced as One Earth at the start of the year. The TV Defiance series is being produced by Universal Cable Productions, written by Rockne O’Bannon – who’s worked previously on Farscape, Warehouse 13, Alien Nation and DSV. The MMO […]
E3: Syfy’s and Trion’s MMO – will it be called One Earth?
At the start of the year Geek Native wrote about One Earth. This would be a new type of MMO that ran in conjunction with a TV show (on Syfy). The concept was simple, compelling, addictive but very hard to do. The TV show and the MMO would reflect each other. For example, if two […]
Everything is True
Everything is True is a rather brave rather from EA and Funcom for The Secret World. It’s brave (not because it runs to the end without snagging) as it spends most of the three minutes showing us nothing. There’s some teaser clips from the game at the start but then we move on to the […]
Eden Eternal
Aeria Games have announced a closed beta test for their latest MMO. Eden Eternal is an anime-style MMO that’s free to play and uses a 3D engine. The game supports the usual trappings; character classes (15), player towns, races (including Frog Men) and a dye system to support character customisation. There was a popular 2D […]
