RE: UKNM: persistant world gaming

[David Burrows]

I mentioned a couple a few months ago.

At the moment the biggest ones are probably things like Everquest(Sony) and

Ultima Online (Origin)

Ones to watch in the next few months : The Sims Online (Maxis)and Black &

White (Lionhead)


Both the latter titles are going to change the face of on-line gaming

drastically, the Sims from the demographic angle (The Sims has been

incredibly successful in previously gamephobic audiences) and Black & White

from the technological angle. On-line gaming is definitely maturing and

we're going to be seeing a lot more 'Nokiagame' like promotions (although

hopefully better thought out and executed!) in the next couple of years.


As you can probably tell, I've been doing some work on these kinds of games

(and how they can be used in on-line marketing) so if you need some more

information contact me off list.
