Egy kep a jatekbol

“This item will be released on September 24, 2010.

Megerkezett tegnap a kontroller. Mivel az ebayen termett olcson, nem egy szofisztikalt darab, de kezre all, es az epp eleg. Iziben feltelepitettem, es kiprobaltam vele az obliviont.

Pikk-pakk megallapitottam, hogy valamiert csak az egyik joystick-ot hajlando erzekelni, a gombokat meg egyaltalan nem. Kileptem, control panelen megkerestem a cuccot, majd a beallitasoknal kiserletezgetve rajottem, hogy a mode gombot kellene nyomogatni. Innentol a kalibracios panel egybol jobban mukodott.

Vissza Oblivionba, es lass csodat: tovabbra sem megy.

Kifogytam az otletekbol. Jelenlegi formajaban kvazi hasznalhatatlan, akkor inkabb maradok az eger-bill kombinacional. Mas beallitast nem talaltam, ami segithetne. Asszem megguglizom, de nem remenykedem benne, hogy ez segitene.

I was wondering about the future of MMOs, which I think is more or less the future of gaming. In a sense.

First of all, there are two, somewhat related trends. One is that games in general tends to go online – all types of games, that is. Even the traditional solo games, such as solitaire and minesweeper start spawning online versions. The same is true even for the mobile games.

The other trend is the constantly widening scale of MMO games – they are not just RPG any more, or even FPS. One very interesting model is when there is a game, which is acting as a virtual world to meet and chat, and which also offers a handful of different minigames to play when not socializing – or even play while socializing, together or against a group of players.

The outcome seems to be obvious: every game will be an MMO.

Also, playing an MMO will be a lifestyle, such as owning an Apple product is now. Your laptop is a Mac. Your phone is an iPhone. Your mpX player is an iPod. You will play the game on your laptop or console. You will chat about it on Facebook and Twitter. You will also play a minigame on Facebook, or craft your items. You will buy stuff for your character and follow auctions on your phone. You will even listen to the soundtrack of the game on your mpX player.. 360 degrees of gaming.

There will be MMOs for all ages, both genders, about every possible world. Your montly subscription fee will be part of your ISP package and phone package.

This is the multiverse version of Matrix.
