Sequels That Missed The Mark

Recently, we posted a story that covered sequels that vastly improved upon their predecessors. This spawned a discussion around the office regarding sequels in gaming, and we acknowledged that this medium tends to lend itself to sequels better than movies.

As a result, most gamers interested in Dawnguard have probably already devoted a big chunk of time to Bethesda’s open-world masterpiece.

Some of them feature rather minor tweaks, like the curvy Microsoft Natural keyboard, and others are downright funky (we're looking at you, Maltron). Could the same principle be applied to virtual planks on smartphones? Microsoft may be getting ready...

MMOHut/OnRPG Anime Expo Recap Part 1

AnimeExpo 2012

 

Hey everyone! This is DizzyPW and I just finished up our coverage of Anime Expo 2012! Anime Expo turned 21 years old this year (It’s hard to believe people in Los Angeles even knew about Anime that long ago! VHS for the win!) I’ve been teasing a lot of you on the forum and now it’s finally time to take you on a pictorial tour of the show! And for those that are more into the fancy moving pictures, rest assured we have a ton of video content on the editing table being prepared!

After my ultimate geek out moment it was time to head to NGMoco’s booth to check out some new Ipad events. But Anime Expo tends to be ADD central as we stopped quite a few times on the way.

Bigpoint Announces Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms as Official Title of Upcoming Browser-Based MMORPG; Exclusive Trailer at Comic-Con

New Trailer to Premiere at San Diego Comic-Con; Updated Website Ready to Capture Early Beta Registrations

 

July 2, 2012 – San Francisco – Bigpoint – a global leader in online video games – today revealed the official name of its upcoming free-to-play (F2P) fantasy massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) as Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms. Bigpoint has partnered with HBO® to develop the game inspired by the network's critically acclaimed television show, Game of Thrones®, adapted from the bestselling fantasy book series, A Song of Ice and Fire, written by George R.R. Martin. Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms will be set within the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, giving players the chance to experience epic moments from the television series. At the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con, July 12-15, Bigpoint will release a new exclusive video trailer for Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms.

 

"Selecting a game's title can be quite an arduous process, especially in the free-to-play space where games must be easily discoverable by players around the world," said Max Pfaff, Producer, Bigpoint. "By selecting Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms we're confident that we've chosen an identifiable name that will resonate with the global community of diehard Thrones fans."

 

In context of the lore, the Seven Kingdoms were originally independent countries which rose up over thousands of years until the Targaryens ruled over them as one nation of Westeros. Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms begins after the deaths of King Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark. The Starks of the north declare war on the south and Baratheon's two brothers both make claims to the throne. Players are challenged to form alliances through Player vs. Player (PvP), Siege combat and politics to control Westeros.

Fans attending San Diego Comic-Con (July 12-15) will also have the opportunity to get a first look at the exclusive new Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms trailer by Bigpoint which can be viewed at booth 2615 (Dark Horse). The teaser captures the essence of gameplay and visual fidelity that players will get to experience when the game is launched.

Bigpoint is collaborating with Norwegian development studio, Artplant, on the development of the forthcoming Unity-based project. Bigpoint and Artplant have previously partnered on the production of Battlestar Galactica Online, a breakthrough F2P space combat MMO that recently celebrated its first birthday and 10 million registered pilot milestone.

Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms beta testing is slated to begin later this year. Fans are encouraged to visit: http://www.GameofThronesMMO.com/ for more information and to follow the latest Twitter updates @GOTMMO.
