MTV Starts Virtual World

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

MTV, formerly known as a music video channel, has announced German and Asian partnerships with 10Tacle Studios to create a virtual world.
The “music” network already has substantial proof of concept in this space, having successfully brought two of its properties - Virtual Laguna Beach and Virtual Hills - to the There.com platform.
Does this signal a move away from the Makena Technology company?

From the release:

” Starting in 2008, the multi-user 3D online world will give Internet users access to, among other things, the classic content offered by the MTV Group, while offering a large number of online games. 10TACLE STUDIOS AG, Europe’s largest developer and producer of high-end computer and video games, will handle the technical implementation and operation of the multi-user 3D online world. MTV, whose popular content is available on all platforms relevant to its target groups, such as TV, online, broadband and mobile, will be responsible for target group communication and the editorial preparation of the content. “

No diablo III, at least not now

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

The guys at Diablo3, who were at the Blizzcon 07, are reporting that there will be no new announcements from Blizzard.

Even though I am all exited that the World of warcraft expansion finally got official I am kind of disappointed that there will be no Diablo III:

At the Diablo 3 website they say “A rep from Blizzard just sent me notice that there would be no more announcements at BlizzCon tomorrow (Saturday), so for those of you (i.e.: all of you) who were hoping that this would be the day that Diablo 3 was finally confirmed, I’m sorry to inform you that you’ll have to continue to wait. We all know that it’s eventually coming, but the waiting for the official confirmation of the third game along with some idea of what it will be like is a really hard thing to wait for. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I figured it would be best to tell you about this now rather than have you guys waiting around all day Saturday hoping that we’d hear more about Diablo 3. “

But since we all, at least I do, have been waiting for the next World of warcraft expansion we can now sleep in Pease and wait for the day that we can face off against the baldest Arthas, arguably the badest Warcraft villain of them all, on his home turf: the icy continent of Northrend.
The Wow: Wrath of the Lich King will be making some pretty key changes to the game as we know it. And at this site you can find the five most compelling reasons to be excited about it.
