In Response To: 7he Fu7ure (ukimalefu)

The problem ukimalefu is, its over.
You payed it the first time, or where not interested in MS trigger time.

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.
"Team 3 port" found that one out the fun way.

So team "3 port" knows not to try and sell "open" again.
No more big open world demos.

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.
All the walls, lanterns, fireworks, eunuchs, weapons and flames would candy up so well. Embrace the right plot and they have sales in an area where MS marketing sees growth.

Swords and sandals. Rome. Fun flows from intergenerational and sibling plots.
Art work is console safe - small dark tight passages with flames. But you come back to plot. How to make it safe?
Could have wide appeal outside the traditional trigger time market if they can buy the right plot.

Swords at sea? Big junks floating around the coasts of Asia and Africa? Or a candied up pirate ship with big lanterns?
Raid the fort? Sail back to an island with tropical birds and a monkey in the trees?

South America. Pyramids with lots of closed in stone. Safe for the console.
Plot could be based on the hunt for a life extending substance. Up and down a pyramid, back to the ship. Part 2 and 3 could be set back in the old world, with lots of swords and crossbows. Could the hero float around in space at the end of part 3 with the sword from part 1?
Could have wide appeal outside the traditional trigger time market.

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?
