EA/Mythic Entertainment mount Ultima's corpse so they can kill it again

[Jaesun]

The only last contact I had was them asking for some info for a special... gift or something.

It's possible because I played the initial game for only 30 minutes then un-installed it immediately after might be why I no nothing else (or about the beta).

Not that I care really.

Lord British is probably senile and dementic.

 

[Morgoth]

Fuck that retarded tablet shit.

 

[Jaesun]

Fuck that loser.

Go ahead. Rub salt on that wound. See if I still care.


...


I do.

Also, why the heck do they have the Games Workshop logo in that page?

 

[Infinitron]

Btw, Jaesun, it seems "Bioware Mythic" has gone back to being just "Mythic Entertainment". Rename thread?

Mythic developed the Warhammer MMO

Wasn't Ultima Forever Garriott's main competition? That baldy must be holding a gun behind his back.

Edit: Meh, who cares? Fuck that loser.

 

[Excidium]

Look at his dead eyes, he just wants to go to space

I think he mentioned a few times he would love to "collaborate" with EA on his new game. By collaborate, he meant being able to use the world he created through all those years with Ultima games, and for which he holds only the right of a couple of names.

Isn't there an anonymous way to release info about the game, without getting caught? Why honor an EA NDA anyways? You afraid they won't let you test their future awesome Ultima titles?

Is there anything redeeming about this game, apart from that it can be uninstalled?

@Jeff_Skalski @thatbarnettblok Those maps look totally awesome - I'm drooling, just a bit! Can't wait to play Ultima Forever, Jeff, Paul!

As soon as the NDA is lifted, a number of us have a lot to say about.

 

[Mother Russia]

Is there any possibility of it being even mildly entertaining, lore rape aside? (TBH I won't mind some lore rape, as Ultima never had the strongest lore and I was never a big fan of virtues, as long as they don't do something utterly stupid like making Shamino and Iolo gay lovers...)

 

[Excidium]

Doesn't it run in a browser?

 

[Jaesun]

I think I summed this game up (because I am still under NDA): I have no mouth and must scream.

 

[Infinitron]

Doesn't it run in a browser?

Nope. At least not what we played

You can tell the article was written by a Codexian!!

Wow, how can they make shit artwork for a 2D game, esp if they have the backing of a AAA publisher behind them? That must take real talent...

Is Ascension still canon? Or did they at least make the derp ending no longer canon?

 

[Jaesun]

There is an Ultima X?

This game is not a sequel. It takes place in an alternate universe Britannia.

Thanks for the clarification.
