BioWare CEO on potential future MMOs
With the MMO world all abuzz about BioWare's upcoming MMORPG, Star Wars: The Old Republic, it's not too terribly surprising to hear that they're considering other MMO projects down the line. Gamers have already shown they're very receptive to BioWare joining the MMO fray, at least if the comments here are any indication. With the potential of making more money than just the initial box sales, having a successful MMO in the fold has to be an attractive proposition for game companies in today's market - even with the risks. Of course, while we're not surprised they jumped in on PC MMO gaming, we were a bit surprised to once again hear MMOs and consoles come into the discussion.
In an interview with Play, BioWare CEO Dr Ray Muzyka discusses the potential of crossing over briefly, remarking "There's challenges with the interface – making sure that the features players expect in an MMO are enabled and are feasible on a console. If those can be overcome, and I think it would be a good challenge to try, then yeah... people like playing with other players." Guess we'll have to wait and see how SWTOR goes for BioWare first, but who knows - perhaps SOE will see some more competition for PS3 MMOs after all.
