Cybernet Interview

Auf VE bin ich am heutigen Morgen über ein Interview (engl) auf PC.IGN gestolpert. Cybernet ist eine neue Netzwerktechnologie, die das Onlinespielen vielleicht nicht revoluzionieren wird, jedoch das Genre einen großen Schritt nach vorne.

IGNPC: Right. I guess that's my point. What can players expect from games built using your technology? All things being equal, will there be a vast improvement over what we see with Asheron's Call or Anarchy Online?

Doug Haanpaa: That's what we're hoping but until it's integrated into one of those games that really takes advantage of it, we can't say. The hope is yes. You asked what the benefits were. Someone could develop our system in three to four years. We're saying that you could easily7 integrate our system in a few months or if you want us to work with you while you're developing the game it would only take a year. That's a lot less the $48 million that it would take t o produce this network part of the system. We think that's the big advantage. We did have proof by incorporating the technology into Starfleet Command 2, if you'd heard.
