• • The Chronicles of Spellborn: Acclaim to Publish Spellborn in NA

  • I understand the concern, but it comes right back to my question of who else was going to do it? It had to be someone that needed what the Spellborn developers were selling with the money to foot the bills and the desire to do so.  I think we could safely rule out Blizz, Sony, Turbine, Funcom, EA/Mythic and their associated entities,  so who would you have liked to see them partner with?

  • I'm tremendously reassured about the art. I still have concerns about the social lives of the poor developers but oh well. So long as they emerge from the basements every few days to clear away the pizza cartons, that should suffice. Now if they can find a few good Sims meshers someplace to make sure the toons have good hair days all will be well. Who worries about trivial issues like game mechanics?

• • The Chronicles of Spellborn: Acclaim to Publish Spellborn in NA

  • This is probably a win-win for both Acclaim and Spellborn. Without a publisher the game wasn't going to be widely distributed. (Who else with pockets full of money did you THINK was going to help them?) Few of the development houses have funds to both create a game and market it too.

    Acclaim to date has a stable of crappy on-line product to push. Spellborn so far at least looks as if some thought went into it rather than throwing some cut rate anime at bargain basement programmers and calling it a MMORPG. If Spellborn turns out to be a quality game it puts Acclaim in business as a serious player.

  • My complaint has nothing to do with the graphics but with the fact that their artists can't draw. I'm glad these are just teaser screens released well in advance of the game. That means they have plenty of time to hire artists capable of rendering human figures. Preferably one that knows what a female breast and an ass look like. Women get tired of playing hideously deformed avatars simply because some dweeb in a low budget art department has never had a date with a real female.
