In Response To: 7he Fu7ure (ukimalefu) : http://www.loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/228 The problem ukimalefu is, its over.
From now on its just young ppl picking up a 2nd hand copy out of the bargain bin. So back to MS and "team 3 port". The limits of porting interior and exterior areas on a closed console are now alpha tested. "Team 3 port" has the skill set to candy it up some more, add more sounds, buy a plot ect. No more mid game frame rate drops, but game world size is now set.
So team "3 port" knows not to try and sell "open" again.
So what box like game world will MS stuff the consumers into? Something in Asia? A new MS team would be needed to buy a plot and extend the technical side of "The Ancient Art of War" in China.
Swords and sandals. Rome. Fun flows from intergenerational and sibling plots.
Swords at sea? Big junks floating around the coasts of Asia and Africa? Or a candied up pirate ship with big lanterns?
South America. Pyramids with lots of closed in stone. Safe for the console.
Bronze age? Run around a big forest. Trees and caves keep the frame rate of the closed system contained. Put on the your long conical golden wizards hat and run into the forest killing and casting spells on mythological things. Add in many other players with different skills and make them all pay. Endless plot, endless critters, safe, wide appeal outside the traditional trigger time market. Endless cash from a large addicted online community. Greek mythology. Not the Rome. This is the fun one. Nice safe repeating walls and textures, mythological things running around, less bad "Rome" plots. Closed console can keep up in an enclosed maze like setting. Good strong hero type on a mission. Lots of sun, a nice tan and a big long sword. Open 3 part plot to extend, big mythological critters to hunt, safe art, wide appeal outside the traditional trigger time market. Nice cash flow from an addicted online community. MS can sell a new maze when needed, and rent the sdk to make a new maze. So what did the MS "focus group" team get back to "team 3 port" about?
