Project: Top Secret drops the men-in-tights, goes racing instead


When David Perry announced his democratic MMO project to the world, most figured that it would be from the same ilk as World of Warcraft or EverQuest. A fantasy MMO where you and your friends bicker amongst yourselves over who gets the +1 sword until someone gets their feelings hurt. Well, that's not the case as Perry has told GameSpot that Project: Top Secret is currently a massively multiplayer racing title, set for completion "by GDC 2008."

Joining the list of "things Perry has never done" is a racing title, though it may not matter when 23,000 amateur developers are all focused on the same project. Still, we wonder what the technical demographic is amongst that vast pool of talent. Certainly not the first vehicle-based MMO, Top Secret has an uphill battle ahead as titles such as Motor City Online and Auto Assault never made much of an impact in the marketplace.
