Tom Clancy MMOG Plans

Gamasutra reports Ubisoft's plans to create an MMOG based on the works of Tom Clancy, announced at a conference call this evening to follow-up on today's news that Ubisoft has purchased rights to make games in the name of the thriller author (story). It seems Ubisoft is ready to begin development on the game as soon as a team is in place, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot is quoted saying they have been interested in such a project for a while, but have been daunted by the prospect of paying exorbitant royalties. Royalties notwithstanding they are estimating the game will have a budget between 40 and 50 million dollars.

The "Do you feel annoy" is the classic goldspammer thing in PotBS as well.

Many feel annoy now.

Man..it's a Vanguard thing. Goldspammers/leveling services used spam the chat with: "Do you feel annoy...with slow xp, let us level your character for you."

I feel annoy at the thought of another frickin' MMO.

Creston:
Its 50 million for a MMOG, which are generally more expensive (or should be anyway).

However, budgets in the $10's of millions are not unusual for normal "AAA list" games.

So how many Jack Ryan's will there be?

Fuck Jack Ryan. Jack Bauer baby!



Also, jeez, 50 million dollar budget for a game. And we wonder why everything has turned into the same old shovelware crap that somehow sells 10 million copies on a console...

edit : Quest received! [Screw 5 Russian spies]

See, now that's an awesome quest! Assuming they're FEMALE russian spies named Pussy Galore, ofcourse.

3 females done in normal fashion
2 males done with a cap.


And now we see the big motivating factor (royalties for this MMOG) behind Ubi's decision to buy the rights to Tom Clancy's name for future games. This doesn't surprise me at all, and was probabbly the biggest factor in Ubi's decision to buy it.

I want to see more FPS type MMO's where you take over territory and earn achievements...only one thing, they have to play and feel like real shooters, not wanna-be RPG's.
