Spector, Garriott on Games 139

Posted by michael on Tuesday February 11, 2003 @06:04PM from the invisible-hand-of-the-ion-illuminati dept.

Warrior-GS writes "GameSpy has two interesting interviews up. Richard Garriott of Ultima fame talks about leaving Origin, getting bought out by NCSoft and becoming a pitchman for a popular Korean MMORPG trying to make it in the states. He also mentions his new game, Tabula Rasa. The other interview is with Warren Spector, who opened up a bit on the Deus Ex sequel Invisible War, while also commenting on linear games, anime style games and what the future holds."

Hold on a dag gum minute...
You mean to tell me that the Deus Ex Sequel is going to come out BEFORE Half-Life 2 and Duke Nukem Forever?

Popular Korean MMORPG? Just what we need! Not only will it have the brilliant gameplay of Everquest, but the great community of Battle.net!

And it will make you many *GREAT OFFERS* to *ENLARGE YOUR PENIS* in a character set your terminal cannot display...

Is naming games after the lives of the developers, per Tabula Rasa going to become a trend? Can we look forward to seeing Still No Date and Damn Soda on my Keyboard on store shelves soon?!?

That has got to be the worst spelling of the Inspector Gadget theme song I've ever seen.

Sure they'll talk about MMORPGs but will they ever address the long term effects of potions of healing? I heard theycause liver damage [bbspot.com].

Would you like to live in the shadow of nuclear war? Haven't you always fascinated about frolicking in a demilitarized zone? Well, have we got a game for you!

I think that this game, Tabula Rasa, is going to be a best seller. Look at it. It's made by a guy with a solid reputation (He brought us Ultima!), and by combining that with today's cutting-edge graphics technologies, It's bound to be good. I don't play any games like this, but I know people who do, and I'd bet they'ed sink thier money into this. Rock on, Richard!

And as every child of '80s knows, the Inspector Gadget theme song is either sung with "doo do doo do" or "bom bom bom", NOT "na na na"

Dude, we've had that for years. Quake (as in what developers did when they saw a real, breathing female,) Unreal (the prospect of sex in their lives) and Final Fantasy (the realization that, 50 years from now, the developer would die in his semen-soaked underwear, dreaming of a real woman..)

Actually, ironically, according to Hironobu Sakaguchi (producer of Final Fantasy,) the game was named such because if it didn't succeed, it really WAS Square's final fantasy. :) But the game was popular, Square recovered, and all is well with the cosmos.

I never bought anything from him the rest of my life, and instead bought almost EVERY other RPG ever made.

Er, yeah. You really showed him...
