David Perry - the legendary founder of Shiny Entertainment - has teamed up with Acclaim to produce what he says may be the most violent MMORPG ever. In a 20 minute exclusive audio interview, MMORPG.com became the first to learn about what Perry has planned.
You can read more here or check out the audio interview in full. |

This is not a game created by Perry. SadSurfer already pointed it out in the hype section, but this game is just Dekaron renamed. David Perry's name is just a marketing gimmick used by acclaim. He had nothing to do with the development originally. Dekaron is just another korean grinder. It's no different than the other 8 dozen korean games on the list.

They were also "tweaking" RF Online, Lineage, etc for western audiences. There is very little "tweaking" that can be done in these games. Tweaking usually means that they slightly increase the xp rate then put the game on auto pilot. Anything else, and it might break future patches from the real developers.
Edit: I'm listening to the interview now. It's funny hearing this guy talk about the game as if he created it. His summary of the game's lore is awful. It's as if he just read about it yesterday. |

The interviews tells you about some good concepts that he's trying to create with this game. And yes he didn't make this game but he's making some heavy chaning to the gameplay because i don't think you need a team of 70 people to do just some translations
 . Hopefully he can pull this project off because it sounds very good

Hey guys, I've spoken to Howard and David about this and should have the matter (Dekaron) cleared up in a matter of moments. I'm just putting together a brief news item. |

Hey... This is David Perry. :) I've just sent a quote to Dana to be more clear. (We had only intended to announce the game today and not get into a ton of detail until later.) But I do understand how this would confuse, so I do want to be clear that this is not a normal lazy localization of a foreign game. There's a ton of work going in, starting with writing a new story! The whole thing should feel edgy and cool and M-Rated. The American writer who is working with me is having a blast working on the NPC dialog (right now) as there's no restrictions on him. (We really do have the original guys 100% behind us + my guys.) So please just consider this as an announcement, you will see more and more in the coming months. We will also be inviting our beta testers to provide design input as many will be students of design. I'm looking forward to their input to help change the way people think about foreign titles. Basically the Korean team are very talented passionate people, hoping we can find a way for you guys to enjoy their work! I'm gonna do all I can to make that happen. In the coming months I will try to post more to my blog so you can see how that process goes. | ||
