• • So much for Firefly...

  • Massively interview: Multiverse explains the Buffy MMO, Firefly's delay

    "Yesterday we brought you word that the folks at Multiverse (the developers of the MMO middleware) are in development on an MMO based on Buffy the Vampire slayer. At the same time, news came out the Firefly MMO will now be delayed considerably while they focus their efforts that other IP from writing dynamo Joss Whedon. Yesterday evening we had the chance to speak with Mr. Corey Bridges, Co-founder, Executive Producer and Marketing Director for the company. Mr. Bridges took some time out of his busy schedule at the Virtual Worlds Expo to explain a bit more about the Buffy/Firefly MMO hoopla.

    Most interesting, it sounds as though (despite the lack of any announcements about it) there has actually been some forward movement on the Firefly MMO! Mr. Bridges could say almost nothing about it because of contractual obligations with Fox (the owners of the Firefly IP), but what he could say left us with the tantalizing impression we may actually see that Firefly game someday. Read on for all of that discussion, plus tidbits on why they're working on a Buffy title, a bit on what the game will be like, and the interactions between the 2D and 3D game spaces.

    You folks put out a number of interesting announcements this week, but the one many people were most drawn to was the news of new titles. You announced that you were pushing off the Firefly IP MMO, and it sounds like you are already in development on an MMO set in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer IP. Is that accurate?

    Corey Bridges: That is accurate. We are already in development with Buffy. That's obviously different than when we announced the Firely arrangement. There, we hadn't begun work on it. Annoying as heck that we had to delay the Firefly game.

    Can you talk at all about what happened with the Firefly IP?

    CB: I'm actually contractually bound from saying much about that at this time. I can say that it's not an issue of someone being at fault. Neither Multiverse or Fox, or anyone in specific made an error in this. There are just some issues that need to be worked through. Hopefully things will get back on track before too long.

    "We are not announcing any relationship with Joss, but I would love to work on these games with him. We're definitely seeing what we can do on that front."
    Fox and Multiverse had long talks about this, but we felt that it was appropriate - even though it would open us up to people venting their frustrations – to be candid and transparent about this. Fox especially wanted to do a release to let fans know that plans are released for right now. We really look forward to picking this back up as soon as possible. We are really happy to be working with them, and they're really happy to be working with us.

    Our understanding has always been that you had the license, and that you didn't plan to develop it, but instead you were searching for a developer for the game. Is that correct?

    CB: That is accurate.

    Would it be a huge leap to say that you haven't found the right group to work with on that front?

    CB: That I would not say.

    Has there been any pre-production or work done on the project at all?

    CB: Yes. Wrapped up in this is unfortunately the reality that we can't talk about this project. I'm dying to say more, it's one of the great frustrations in my life that we can't talk about it. We were moving and grooving, and now we have to put the breaks on. Hopefully things will change..."

• • What a great start

  • Try deleteing the game from your HD and reinstalling from the download you already have before doing the 12 hour thing...

    Steps, baby, steps...

    Good Luck!

• • Anyone playing EA on a Pentium 4 rig?

  • Pentium 4 3.0

    4gb of DDR2 RAM

    GeForce 8800 GT 512mb video card

    Intermittant hitching, which went away after an hour.  fps at about 30-40 in the city...Higher outside. 

    Had a chance to play on my friend's set he and his gf play on...two dual core 2.5, 4gb ram, Geforce 8600 512mb...and the only difference I could tell was faster loading times, meaning 3-5 seconds rather than 5-10.

    I played in the pvp event with this setup and saw no appreciable problem then, and considering how many people were piled onto White Sands Isle last night, I see little problem partaking in large scale pvp with my rig.

    Hope this helps
