MMOs will eventually see some success on home consoles, believes LucasArts and Star Wars: The Old Republic senior producer Jake Neri.
At E3 earlier this month, we quizzed the LucasArts man for his thoughts on the future of the genre on home console platforms.
"I'm sure at some point people will figure it out," said Neri. "I think that the complexity of what you need, the depth that you need to compel a player to stay in your game for months and months and years and years is a challenge that's attributed to the console. I see games like Modern Warfare or Force Unleashed 2, or something like that - those games take advantage of what those consoles do well. I can't predict the future, but I'm sure somebody will do it someday. We know the depth required to build this game on PC is staggering, so we'll see."
In an era where pixels ruled the screen and creativity sparked the imagination, a few names stand out as trailblazers in the gaming industry – David Fox is undoubtedly among them. As a co-founder of LucasArts, Fox played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of gaming, leaving an indelible mark with iconic titles that continue to resonate with players worldwide. Join Sector as he shares captivating stories about the birth of LucasArts and the enthralling narratives behind some of the industry's most beloved classics.
eh…Gilbert, Purcell Schaffer were the trail blazers in that crew. David, while he did do some stuff once, like a real long ass time ago is more like b-list personality that specializes in reminiscing and signing ops at a convention.
EA is nearing an agreement to move the ongoing development and operation of MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic from BioWare to third-party studio Broadsword Online Games, IGN has learned. The move is intended to allow BioWare to focus on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
A new update for Star Wars: The Old Republic is coming out on PC and the patch notes provide us with an in-depth look at all the new changes.
I loved this game and have played since launch but don't let this article fool you, this game is a step above life support. While they are still technically updating the game, the updates are few and far between and there is a significant lack of quality control, so many little bugs that have been present for years.
Like the Old Republic, and it will do well!
Sigh............... One day...................One day
i heard they were actually letting Slant Six Games (literally the worst developer ever...see SOCOM: Confrontation) to do this game....what a joke....i am assuming they fired them and got a new dev?
