This week on The MMO Report
This week on The MMO Report, host Casey Schreiner muses on the week's MMO goodies, like Mortal Online's impending launch as well as the lucky few who got to check out Star Wars: The Old Republic firsthand. There's also news of the best games at GDC last week, including Nexon's popularly surprising Vindictus. As always, the video's after the jump and can be found here at Massively and at G4TV every Thursday.
Massively and G4TV's The MMO Report
If you're a fan of G4TV's The MMO Report, you may have noticed a mention of a certain favorite MMO news site on the last two episodes. Why is that? We've teamed up with G4TV to provide the best MMO news to a wider audience. In this week's episode, host Casey Schreiner discusses The Secret World's viral marketing campaign, Global Agenda's upcoming launch and the obvious connection between Star Trek Online's newly-announced Cardassians and E!'s Kardashians. Look for the complete episode embedded below, and new episodes every Thursday night on G4TV's The Feed and X-Play.
Star Wars: The Old Republic lead writer Daniel Erickson on scope of the project
If you've been following along with our coverage of Star Wars: The Old Republic you'll know that BioWare has placed incredible emphasis on writing for SWTOR. As the game is fully voiced, the complete script is roughly 40 novels in length. G4tv's The Feed has a GamesCom 2009 video interview with SWTOR Lead Writer Daniel Erickson that explains more about what a huge undertaking the game has been from a writing perspective. Erickson explains that BioWare's challenges aren't necessarily about having the ability to pull this off, it's more a matter of scale, particularly with the French and German localizations. He tells G4, "We think we've got the biggest voice over project in entertainment history."
G4 claims the Trion/Sci-Fi project revolves around Stargate [UPDATED]
While the rest of the MMO community is happily buzzing about what Trion World Network is working on in conjunction with the Sci-Fi Channel, G4's The Feed has come right out and said it: "A Stargate MMO developed by Trion World Network and the SciFi channel is going to be integrated with the Stargate series sometime in 2010."Now, we're not out to immediately call shenanigans on G4, but our interview with Jon Van Caneghem doesn't mention any specific shows, and he should know, so ... where is G4 getting this information? A couple of the commenters for the post have noticed this as well, so we're glad it's not just us.[UPDATE: Our own Mike Schramm, who conducted the interview with Mr. Van Caneghem, had confirmed that this will be a new IP, so that rules out Stargate completely.]
