    I can certainly say it's not so called triple A MMORPG, cause too much risks for a first try.

    Amazon is a pretty amazing company.. at least in my eyes. Whatever they release it will not be the same old game, but that doesn't mean good either.

    .. and unfortunately this is screaming social media up and down.


    edit: Oh, and if can't be played on an Amazon Fire device; I doubt they would have any interest.

    Honestly wouldn't count out an MMO seeing as Bezos goes all in with everything he's been doing recently.

    WoW is the most successful game of all time in the eyes of any business man so I wouldn't be suprised if he tries to top it.

    Especially in the current age of cash shops there are a lot of things you can sell in MMOs and we all know he likes to sell stuff.

    just looking at the picture, its sure to be another voxel based game.

    Where in San Diego?
    Also I would not be surprised if its an MMO if it's San Diego. For US based mmo development, San Diego is one of the best cities to do it in. Faster ISPs and hundreds of veteran mmo developers. It can also be something on baseball as a few MLB games are developed here. There is also Western Style games. Red Dead Redemption and another western game were developed here. Finally it could be a military game. San Diego has the largest military presence in the world.
    Double Helix in recent years has been an outsource company. You send artwork or a game play feature you need done and Double Helix will do it for you. I think the concept they came up with was that at a Game Studio, you just have designers, producers, and PR. Then you outsource the coding, audio, and art.

    A sci-fi ish mmo maybe?  With lots of micro transactions?
  • MaxBaconMaxBacon Member LegendaryPosts: 7,766
    From Amazon i have a vibe it's not PC stuff, yet mobile.

    They shall go where the money is, as they're certainly not making a game cause "PC MasterRace".

    At this point I wouldn't be surprised if it was a game called Pay to Everything where you walked around a giant mall buying things with your credit card.

    What is this Scorpio game behind them? Hmmm





    The game is called "The Unmaking". It's a first person tower defense game. It hasn't been released yet. Amazon should also be releasing some new tablets soon. My guess is the announcement will be about this game and that it will be exclusive to their tablets.

    I wouldn't get too excited, whatever it is, it will most likely run on their Fire tablet range.

    OK, we literally have cash shops making MMOs now...
    most likely with cash shops!

    And if the in-game cash shop sells Amazon gift certificates, you can use them in the cash shop to feed the in-game cash shop!

    It all makes my head spin...


    The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!

    Voxels are the future, far better than polygons.. Just wait until voxels get smaller as tech increases.
