The Sony FanFaire is in full swing this weekend
and Curse is here to see some of the latest things SoE has to offer!
This year Sony
Trademarked possible EverQuest expansion names, which we're anxiously
awaiting an update for! They're also showcasing
some new (potentially) free-to-play titles, including The
Agency, Pox Nora(a previously released game but new to the SoE Family), FreeRealms,
and Kung-Fu Hustle! We had a
chance to play The Agency last night and were really excited by the gameplay and
the ability to work together with fellow players to complete missions in a
dynamic environment; we're heading back to the booth today to get some more
details and find out what we can!
The final
subscription model for a few of the new titles hasn't been decided on but with
the success that FreeRealms has had, it looks
like free-to-play will be the best option for The Agency and Kung Fu-Hustle.
We were also able to get some playing time on DC
Universe Online. The game has excellent graphics and gameplay, and offers
players the ability to use flight in combat and gameplay. The UI was very
clean and easy to use, and we were able to start battling without a big learning
curve. Hands-on time was limited due to the massive number of people here, but
we'll get on it again and see what other juicy details we squeeze out!
During the weekend we're going to be playing the new games and meeting with
developers, we'll post any new news and information we find out at the event, if
you have any specific questions post them here as a comment and we'll do what we
can to get answers!
