Also on GameSpot is a preview of SGO's/MS Games' fantasy MMORPG 'Vanguard: Saga of Heroes'.For years, massively multiplayer online games have featured heroic quests in fantasy worlds, where players created characters to battle with dragons and ogres, as well as sought fabulous treasures in persistent realms. The popularity of high fantasy in these games is due in no small part to the groundbreaking EverQuest, which was one of the first 3D graphical massively multiplayer games that offered colorful graphics, addictive hack-and-slash gameplay, and a remarkably stiff challenge. Some of the original creators of EverQuest, including Brad McQuaid and Jeff Butler, moved on after the original game to found an all-new studio, Sigil Games. The new studio is hard at work on an all-new project, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. We took an updated look at this upcoming game, and we have new info on its character customization options and skills. |
