MMOs.com Podcast - Episode 52: Story in MMOs, NCSoft, WildStar, Elyria, and More
MMOs.com Podcast Episode 52 - Erhan (@ehaltay), Omer (@remotayx), Sean (@sean_sulliva), Shurelia (@Shureria), and Matt (@mattchuranu)
This is the fifty second episode of the MMOs.com Podcast and we look at the most recent news and happenings in the MMO and gaming world. We started the week off with the weekly raid as usual which was about storytelling in MMORPGs. We brought up the excellent storytelling in Star Wars: The Old Republic and mentioned the cinematics in Overwatch, but I think most of us agreed that MMOs don't seem to be a great platform for telling a story. We then talked about NCSoft's Q1 2016 earnings which showed WildStar dramatically slowing down. We also talked about Tencent's new "console" for the Chinese market. As usual we had a lot of fun and discussed some non MMO stuff too.
