What do Pantheon and Nintendo GO have in common?

in Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen
In terms of game play, almost nothing. (It would actually be nothing, but I have to count that giggle from the first video stream). 

Back on topic. Nintendo GO has benefited from bringing a TON of former Nintendo gamers out of retirement to play the newest iteration of an older game. 

Sure there are other things that users like about GO. But there is no question that dormant players are coming out to play it in droves. 

There is definitely a market for older games.

EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests

    Pokemon GO is taking an old game and using new gameplay technologies/concepts to revitalize it and bring in a big market of post-adolescent gamers who like mobile games.
    Patheon is a new game taking old gameplay concepts in order to cater a dwindling market of middle-aged MMORPG gamers who don't like or are unable to play newer games.

    Yea they could make a ton of money selling emulators and those old games.  IDK why they are so late to this party.
    Are you onto something or just on something?

    Pokemon GO is also proof that there's a vast body of gamer's that will happily play a game that only requires you to be able to hold a smartphone in your hand...

    I guess you missed the new gameplay concepts Pantheon is going to offer.

    I'm gonna create a new mobile game where the goal is to hunt and kill Pokemon GO players. You have to take a selfie with the dead Pokemon GO player and upload it to the game server in order to get points.

    With these types of people, it was either this, or listen to them wear out mice 'playing' farmville day and night.

    Pokemon GO is taking the world by storm, Pantheon will be a small breeze. They have absolutely nothing in common, as in, nothing.

    Also, lol at Pokemon GO haters, it might be juvenile and simple but it is more succesful then all of our precious MMOs combined and is doing something new. Ironically that is the exact opposite to what Pantheon is bringing to the table, nothing new. Not that that is a bad thing mind you.

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    What do Pantheon and Nintendo (i guess the OP means Pokémon) GO have in common?

    Well i guess someone at some point wrote code in both... Beyond that... Jack and shit. 

    Well i guess we can put a preempitve one to.... both will have horrible disasters for a launch. =P

    This have been a good conversation

    That actually sounds like a moderately fun game, the world being the RL world, npcs for exp/leveling put in like pokemon are in pokemon go, level your character equip it with rare items and group with people in the same location as you IRL or PVP versus them if you wish.  Would love to see an old-school spin on PantheonGO.
