Wasn't that you in San Fran last year ... Didn't you post some pictures with a little sailor boy (your own son of course) on here?
Stop in for a drink at the Horse and Cow next time you visit ... it was the supreme submarine sailors bar in the 60's.

You did a fine job Pio....except for the highly suspect pirate picture...
I see you held back about what you learned about Destroyer Command and SHV.....

btw, what's up with your kilt? did jim do that?

Move over WOW.:huh:
I'm sorry, but, who, precisely, gives a crap about character customization? Is it really such a big demographic? Because I couldn't care less about what the guy looks like and would much prefer to see, gee, innovative gameplay instead? An environment that re-acts to you? Though if I could be a gangster in a wheelchair and with only one arm, that might be interesting. :hmm:

Pio was reporting on everything significant there. The "customization" genre is actually huge. From Guild Wars to Oblivion; millions of players play these games (2nd Life for example) specifically for the customization features.
Does it relate to Subsims? Not yet. But I note that nearly EVERYONE got fired up about 3d animated characters in SH3 and SH4. While multiplayer is a big draw, how many out there wish they could make their "Kapitan" character look like a stylized, hollywood version of themselves or a favorite RL Captain?
As for innovative gameplay; try 100 square miles of city with no rules and a fully interactive environment. Play for the law or for the criminal element. Perma death, incarceration. These little tidbits that they let out are just the tip of the 31M they spent on it.
As for innovative gameplay, most of this community aren't interested in that either...
We're assigning you the reporting job from the Paris GDC. You go on your own dime (like Pio) and don't forget to make it at least as interesting as Pio's...good luck.

Video is starting to surface of the MMO APB. The character customisation presentation from GDC has arrived on You Tube, as have a couple of other in game trailers.

Two years later and apparently Dave Jones of Realtime Worlds must have remembered me, because I got an invite to beta on the project.
There's a new enforcer in town, and compliments of APB due for release this summer, it's got the Pioneer moniker on it.
From their website, just look at the detail of this.

World of What? Who cares, this summer it's going to be an All Points Bulletin.
