Quote: "The appeal of Otherland's basic premise -
an MMO that has the potential to be anything you want
it to be - is as easy to grasp as the specifics are hard.
It's being realised by a team that's passionate and
serious about what it's doing. It must be one of
the most original, thought-provoking and
intellectually exciting games in development
anywhere, and although you might be a fool to bet on its success, you'd be a churl to bet against it. Because, in the all-too-conservative
world of MMOs, Otherland is exactly the kind of unlikely story we need."
Quote: "Gute Aussichten für die virtuelle Zukunft: Otherland will ein ganzes Genre umkrempeln – und hat beste Chancen ein Geniestreich zu werden."
Ersteindruck: Sehr Gut
Quote: "Even at only 15-percent into development and at the preproduction stage, Otherlands is a remarkable looking game based
on a solid storyline. What the designers are planning is ground-breaking in the field of MMOs in many ways and they are not
shy about trotting that term out. Tad Williams is very much involved in the creation and direction of the game, going as far
as to say, "This game is my sequel to Otherlands. This is my ideal project and I want to be as involved in it as I can."
The question now is whether they can pull it off. With the talent that dtp entertainment has assembled in the development
studio Real U, there's certainly a good chance of it."
Quote: "What we saw of the game was breathtaking, both in terms of art direction and raw creative power."
Quote: "Quand la littérature et les jeux vidéo se rencontrent, cela donne souvent un résultat
intéressant. D'autant que certains univers littéraires se prêtent particulièrement bien
à une adaptation vidéoludique. C'est le cas d'Otherland (Autremonde en VF), cycle de science-fiction
écrit par Tad Williams. L'éditeur dtp a tout de suite vu le potentiel de ces romans et a donc décidé
d'en faire un MMO. Le projet n'en est qu'à ses débuts mais recèle déjà de nombreuses promesses,"
"Que ce soit par son univers ou par son gameplay (même s'il demeure un peu vague), il impose sa différence de belle manière. Autant dire qu'on a hâte de voir ces promesses se concrétiser."
