Morning Q&As

  • Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
    Elite Bastards' Oblivion Q&A talks with Gavin Carter of Bethesda about Oblivion, the upcoming installment in the Elder Scrolls RPG series: "Oblivion’s renderer is a mix of the Gamebryo renderer with a healthy dose of our own internally developed technology. The engine fully supports shader models up to and including 3.0. We employ a full HDR lighting solution throughout the game. Textures utilize all the latest shader technology including normal maps, specular maps, and parallax maps. We’re hammering away on our soft-shadow model. There shouldn’t be any technological buzzword out there that current games are using that we don’t have built into our renderer."
  • Ultimate Baseball Online
    The Ultimate Baseball Online Q&A on Houston Vehicles Online talks with Netamin producer Gabriel Law about their baseball MMORPG: "The thrill of MMORPG's comes from a team-based cooperation to achieve a common goal. The excitement is built through competition, rivalry, teamwork, and situational knowledge. Netamin saw an opportunity to break away from the traditional RPG genres by allowing gamers to become virtual athletes, switching the scenario from questing to teams competing in leagues and tournaments. The randomness of sport scenarios and the development of rivalries and alliances are just as intense in UBO as any other MMO and provide just as much customization."
  • SunAge
    The Wargamer's SunAge Q&A (thanks Frans) talks with Roman Pfneudl about SunAge, Vertex4's upcoming strategy game: "The story begins on Earth inside a huge dome that’s shielding the inhabitating [sic] humans from the Sun. There’s a lot of tension between this 'Dome Confederacy' and a bunch of outcasts living in the wasteland called 'Raak-Zun'. The Raak-Zun is essentially a religious cult following a doomsday prophecy. The story later takes place on an alien planet that could be mankind’s new place to live. But the snake in paradise is the vanguard of robots that defend the planet - 'The Sentinels'. There are other elements to the story, but I would rather not spoil the plot by giving away too much."
