Well maybe you two don't like it but F2P is future of MMO gaming.I understand it is not easy to switch for developers but hey its "do or die" <E>:D</E><br/>
Saying it's the future is suggesting it's inevitable - the only way. That's like saying Kickstarter is the future ...

<t>I agree. F2P can work when it's designed into the game from the outset, but I think it really hurts the integrity of the game when developers make the switch. I've played almost every subscription MMOG there is, and stopped when it's gone F2P. The only exception has been D&DO, which perhaps ...

<r>It's wonderful to see space gaming mentioned so prominently in a dev's About page:Digitilus LLC is a space games developer. We are a gang of professionals with over 20 years of real work experience in the seething core of game industry.We like SciFi/space genre and we keen on the theme of space ...

Curious as to what veterans thought the best space game on the Spectrum was, aside from Elite. I was rather partial to the Tau Ceti games.

<t>Gazillion were supposed to be the big investors that pushed JGE to release, but I sense they were more interested in the big licenses like Lego and Marvel. After JG Evol was pulled back from going beta in Spring 2009 (it wouldn't have fared well with the sandbox gamers) and things started ...

My lovely SWTOR-obsessed wife is heavily involved in a RP guild on The Progenitor server (EU). Cabal they're called.Me, I'm going back to Eve

I've played a lot of Spectrum games through the years but I don't remember that one. Looks very Ballblazer-y.

<t>Hello all!PlaySF isn't a game, but it is a commercial indie project about games. I hope the powers-that-be are not too upset that I announce its availability here. PlaySF is actually a magazine, specifically about space and sci-fi games - no wizards, orcs or Nazis allowed (unless they are of the ...

<t>What I like about this news, apart from the idea of having ships in the game itself, is it suggests SOE are somewhat more committed to the idea of developing the game post-launch than was the case with the original. Hopefully the ships will have multiple stations. Better still, the game will ...

I read on Blue's News yesterday that EA weren't adverse to exhuming old IPs. WingCo wasn't mentioned, but if both Roberts and EA are open to the possibility, then who knows where things could lead?[url]http://www.bluesnews.com/s/124676/ea-revival-possibilities[/url]

The original Nexus was was released in May 2005, and the following year what seemed ...

Hi MMI suspect space games will rise again. How and when is a tricky question, but they will.

<r>Hi AlexWhen it comes to games it's fair to say that Russia is winning the space race and devs from beyond the old iron curtain have for the last decade been far more inspired by space than western studios. It would be interesting to research why that is. Is it a matter of resources (that a space ...

It's a sad truth that the English are the worst abusers of the language. Shamefully most of can't even be bothered to ever attempt a second.Also, hello

A Facebook game would make a lot of sense, especially given the noises EA have been making about social networked games and spending all that money on PopCap. Given that games are now arriving on Google+ I wonder if it might also be "cross platform"

<t>It could be anything. It could be EA marking their territory in case someone else tries to take the IP away. It could be a Facebook game (Civ recently came out), or it could be something new. I certainly hope it's something new, although I hope it remains 4X and not a re-imagination like the new ...

<t>Personally I can't stand the idea of Facebook games, perhaps because I have an irrational dislike of Zynga and all that FarmVille-type nonsense. However, a game started up yesterday called StarDrift Empires that I've been hearing good vibes about, so I'm giving it a try.Are there any space games ...

<t>Wow, you're quick. I saw this at Blues News. It's being developed by a start-up called Novacore. Hopefully publisher Kalypso won't get our expectations up too high like they did with Dark Star One.[url]http://www.novacore-studios.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50&Itemid=57&lang ...

<r>I'm not a big fan of Apple either, but I made the mistake of buying a lot of albums on iTunes back in the day, followed by loads of iPhone games over the last couple of years. I guess once you side with the devil you have to live with the consequences. <E>:|</E> Saying that, if a good game is ...
