ULDK from SOE MMOG for PS3

March 30, 2006 on 10:27 am | In MMO (Upcoming)

(Because I couldn't get enough acronyms in there) Just read about Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom over at OGRanlk. They got the news from this entry at John Smedley's blog. An MMOG for the PS3, some highlights I read from John's blog:

  • They are emphasizing play in the 1080p resolution/aspect-ratio.
  • They're employing a separate SPU water alone. This is referenced as a way to add "depth to the gameplay", but I'm not sure what it does beyond making it look better.
  • The character shown on the official SOE website is old, and has been redesigned.
  • The acronym, expected for this genre, is sorta ugly: ULDK

Finally, they're using another separate SPU for physics. Here I can see some gameplay innovation possibilities, particularly with this statement:

Just about everything in the game now has a full physics simulation running on it, and it makes all the difference in the world. Watching a skeleton get thrown around like a child's toy and pieces of it flying all over the place never gets old. It's funny how much time people spend just playing around with the different things you can do with the physics system.

MMO meets Half Life 2? Bring it on!
