Interview with Hal Milton
June 4th, 2009 |
Hal Milton is Lead Designer for the Agency game from Sony Online Entertainment, and had an interview with MMORPG.com, which you can read
here. One of the biggest difficulties that The Agency is facing, is making a game that satisfies both PC gamers and console gamers. Many games has tried this in the past, but this has mainly been first-person shooters, like call of duty. MMORPGs are a completely different type of game, that requires a completely different approach. PC gamers who play mmos are expecting to could utilize the whole keyboard for shortcuts, while console gamers only have a very limited amount of buttons they can use. Age of Conan has long been planning to release to consoles, but still having problems, since they haven’t released it yet.
Another thing we really can look forward to, is that he says they would like to release a closed beta sooner that later. We will keep on posted on any news about when and where you can sign up for the beta, and we will be the first to say; “YES, we want beta keys naow!”.
