17/06/2008 1:59pm By Dalagonash
Korean based T-Entertainment, developers of MMORPGs Laghaim and Last Chaos have licensed the Unreal engine 3 for their latest foray into the genre, tentatively titled L2.
L2 is described by T-Entertainment as a mix of role-playing (RPG) and real-time strategy (RTS) games, and is described as a “futuristic fantasy with a taste of space opera.” There are no images or art available for the game yet, so we'll just imagine anorc in full space marine get up singing 'Don't Cry for me Argentina'. Oh dear...
The Unreal engine is developed by Epic games and powers a lot of modern games, from Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3 to any Tom Clancy game you can name. It also powers upcomingMMOs APB and the DC comics online game. While the engine's speciality is shooters Epic stress that it is a diverse development platform, they even created a golf game using Gears of War assets for marketing reasons.
“We have a team of seasoned professionals devoted to L2 project, and we are confident that by integrating our expertise and Unreal Engine 3’s excellent performance, L2 will be a top-tierMMORPG that fascinates gamers all around the world,” said John Hong, CTO of T-Entertainment.
“T-Entertainment is a well-diversified entertainment company that is poised to launch yet another successful MMORPG worldwide,” said Jay Wilbur, vice president of Epic Games. “We are constantly improving the Unreal Engine, and look forward to providing them with cutting-edge game development tools and technology for many months to come.”
Unreal Engine 3 gives developers a number of helpful tools including dynamic fluid surfaces, advanced character lighting and ambient occlusion (realistic water, pretty lighting and detailed shadows), so even if the game is unimaginative it should be one of the best lookingMMO when it launches in 2010. |
