SPOnG recently caught up with MMO specialists NCSoft - makers of blockbuster online PC games such as Lineage, City of Heroes and Guild Wars.
NCSoft made some major announcements at E3 this year – not least about the exclusive new partnership with Sony Computer Entertainment to make MMO games for PlayStation 3 as well as all the latest on all its forthcoming big-hitters in the online gaming sphere on PC, including the latest on Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa, fantasy title Aion, new expansion pack Guild Wars: Eye of the North and the free-to-play Dungeon Runners.
Meanwhile, SPOnG spoke with NCsoft Europe's Marketing Manager, Veronique Lallier to find out more about the background of NCSoft Europe and how bringing an MMO game to market is quite a different kettle of fish to 'traditional' videogame marketing. Read on to find out what she had say.
Wccftech talked to Guild Wars 2 Game Director Josh Davis about the learnings from the Secrets of the Obscure expansion and what's coming to the MMORPG.
The "slippery slope" debate has started, now we wait to see what ArenaNet does.
"ArenaNet and NCSOFT are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the "Secrets of the Obscure" expansion for their award-winning and critically acclaimed MMORPG "Guild Wars 2"." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
very much so... "blank" is still a thing" is also still a thing as you can can surmise.
Anet also announced the 5th expansion. "We’ve already started applying lessons from the development of Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure to our fifth expansion, which we expect to be released next year." From their site, been with this game since 1st beta, and announcing the 5th expansion so soon, the game is doing very well, plus the graphics are improved a bit now that it's on DX11🙃
Correct, and yes. Imo, they've done very well for themselves, and I'm very impressed with what they have achived with GW2 since the game launched.
Good and interesting interview, i did know that Linage is huge, but not that it is 43 Million huge O_o
Sadly not a single question concerning the PS3 partnership :(
