An Interview with Develop Magazine
In addition to their coverage of today’s announcement, Develop Magazine’s Rob Crossley spent some time with Jeff this weekend to get more details on the formation of Undead Labs. Since Develop Magazine is aimed at game industry types, the questions covered some new territory. Check out the interview with Rob.
good point that the gameplay from PC to Console breeds 2 different type of Players. The only game that comes right to mind that blended both styles of play may be the Kingdom Hearts Franchise. The only other games I can think of is either the Final Fantasy series(but that lends itself more to D&D, or maybe Parasite EVE. But Those games do tend to lag in action until the cuts scenes.
I’ve always wanted a zombie MMO and I really hope this happens. I have a ton of ideas for a zombie MMO. I was wondering, maybe once this starts going into development, the developers can get some ideas from the Zombie fanbase as to what would really make this MMO epic.
I think it is a brilliant idea for an MMO(Z) to be exclusive for the console. Consoles and PC are two very different beasts and the game-play and input boundaries do not make for an healthy hybridization. It would be challenging to design a game with natural and intuitive controls that could support a keyboard and mouse along with a controller and headset without limiting each others potential. The experience would be greater if they did not focus on hybridization of console and PC instead focuses on crafting an interface and game play elements around the controller and headset.
Very nice interview, gave me a lot of insight of towards your team and how the mmoz might turn out.
