Wanna see the future of online games?
« on: April 05, 2008, 11:56:02 AM »
Ok I know many here wont like this "style" of game (FPS quake type). However this is the technology of the future IMO.

Sure this isn't going to take the place of big budget companies like UBI or EA, that can develop their own game engines. However this will allow a rise of low budget garage gamer producers to be able to compete with the big boys.

I've been doing research on developing flash style browser based games, when I came across this one. This thing totally blows me away when you sit back and think that it's played via your web browser using the shockwave player and not some specially developed 3D game engine.

That was fun.  Hope it isn't laden with evil little spy bots.

Flash-based sounds like something a pocket mobile platform would run..
