What are all these zombie messages doing here? This is about a SP game from 38 studies...an introduction to the mmorpg they are making, the one codenamed 'Copernicus'?

That's someone copy/pasting links and trying to rush. A blog and a thread somehow now have the same links to this thread, fun stuff. Anyways, for the discussion about the single-player RPG. EA is publishing the single-player, not the MMO as of yet. It's an introduction to the universe which the MMO will encompass. It will also be coming to the PC, which sounds good. Wonder if they have dx10/11 built into it.

I'm looking forward to this single player game to get some insight into the future mmo, it's background & histpry though I hope it can stand up as a successful game in it's own right, which it should considering it has some pretty high pedigree developers, the lead designers being ex TES/Oblivion guys.

I wonder if the move to publish this on console could be an indication of where they want to release the MMORPG too, if they can release an MMO on multiple formats it could be very interesting.

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining :)

I also look forward to this SP game. It will give some insight into the world and what kind of game 38 studies will make.

Personally I look forward to it and so far EA is only publishing the SP-game, so there is still hope *evil grin*.

Though Todd McFarlane is also renown of having absolutely no sense of lore. He's responsible for catastrhopes like introducing cyborgs to Ultima Online (A fantasy title)

 

 

There is a big difference between publishing and developing a game.  EA is just the publisher.  Besides I seem to remember Dragon Age Origins being pretty awesome.   And why are you talking about Todd McFarlane and lore?  RA Salvatore is doing all the lore.(and he has a great sense of lore)  McFarlane is responsible for the art and nothing else.

Dragon _is_ pretty awesome, I agree. But I dislike the many DLC's. This is one of the reasons why I fear EA getting their hands on 'Copernicus'.

I dislike buying half a game for full price and then have to buy the rest of it in little pieces.

But we will have to see how it all turns out, one can only hope it turns out for the best for us and 38 :)

Actually not a bad idea to make a single player prior to introducing the MMO.  Gets some money into the studio which is always an issue.
