Neverwinter will require to be always connected

The Cryptic developer has confirmed that more than one storyline will be included in the new Neverwinter but has said that the exact number is not set in stone and will depend on how the development process goes. He also revealed that players will need to be always connected to the servers of Atari in order to play Neverwinter, with no offline mode planned at the moment.

He further elaborated that, “Players will have lots of controls over whether something’s public or private and so forth, and we’re working on those various options now. As we go into beta and get feedback from people actually using the tools, we’ll add more, but the idea of a large zone with hundreds of players, that isn’t what Neverwinter is, no.”

So basically its the same as Ubis protection, must always be connected to internet regardless of whether its single player (private options)

I'll give it till 2 days before release and one of the cracking groups such as skidrow will have enabled offline play

Duh, it's an MMO? Looks like Cryptic is on par to mess up another IP! How do they keep getting work?!

I've read its not an MMO, just a coop online RPG.

As someone who grew up with Atari, I actually enjoyed the clunky 2600 version.

Atari Introduces The Retro Atari 2600+ PAC-MAN Edition

This looks like a fun fusion that collectors and Retro fans may enjoy.

I love how there are matching ghost colors for the controllers. I hope they add a Purple "Sue" controller for the inevitable Ms PacMan double feature cart they are working on. It would seem a crime not to.

That shit looks amazing. If I ever had a "retro room" in my house, this would be 100% needed. The best Atari 2600 design I've ever seen imo, besides the original of course lol

Ristul111d ago

It looks cool, kind of ironic though considering that the port of Pacman for Atari 2600 is notoriously bad.
