Midgard Preview

The Armchair Empire have taken a look at Midgard and came up with a short preview of the game.
    The game is still very early in development, so there still hasn't been any screenshots released so that we can have some idea of the motif of Midgard. At this point there is just concept art to look at, all of which has that wispy, oil painting look to it similar to that found in the art from Icewind Dale. There is also some audio samples available for download at Midgard's Official Site, showcasing what some of the music will sound like, and again it has a very similar feel to it that the music in Icewind Dale has, mellow, subdued, and somewhat ethereal.

    The people developing the game come from a number of past projects, most notably there are people who worked on The Longest Journey, No Escape, and a few people who worked on Anarchy Online. Unfortunately for Midgard, the biggest problem it faces is not the already crowded MMORPG market, nor the currently weak state of the global economy, it's the simple fact that the game is being made by Funcom, the same company responsible for the buggy debacle, Anarchy Online (Don't you just love the irony in that title?). Those who bought AO last summer are still up in arms over there poor technical quality of the game and this has cast a dark shadow on Funcom of late. Now the only question remains, will Midgard be the company's redemption, or will it even be given a chance considering the company's recent track record.
