HEXUS: So why should gamers be excited about Jumpgate Evolution?
Scott Brown The action, the adrenaline and the heart pounding experience!
HEXUS: Jumpgate Evolution will be a subscription-based game. Do you think we’ll eventually see an end to this particular business model in favour of free 2play games? And, don’t you think that the MMO market is saturated at the moment with mediocre titles?
Scott Brown I don’t agree with that, it’s like the rumors such as ‘pc gaming or console gaming is dead’. Whatever makes the game better as a whole, if it’s free to play then will do that , if subscription is the best opinion we will also do that.
The reason why many MMOs are subscription based is because gamers have to pay for continued development as opposed to console games which once released development is over.
HEXUS: This is slightly off topic but how do you respond to the criticism of your first person shooter Warmonger Operation: Downtown Destruction (see HEXUS.gaming review)?
Scott Brown Warmonger was made with just four guys and they did so many amazing things, such as the physics - if you shoot a flag it would cut in several places. One weapon can almost destroy a whole level.
The only problem with the game is that it requires a physics card, which not many people have.
Without one it’s a horrible playing experience. Hopefully with the rumors of NVIDIA putting physics on their graphics card (if you have SLi) then maybe physics cards will become more mainstream in the long run.
