| Warren Spector forms Junction Point Studios |
|
GameSpot has <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/03/08/news_6119959.html" target="_blank">revealed</a> that Warren Spector has quickly re-entered the games industry, forming Junction Point Studios. While Spector refused to give any real details on their first project, GameSpot is drawing a possible inference from a connection between the name of the new studio and an old project designed by a then co-worker at Looking Glass Studios:<blockquote><em>However, a clue to Junction Point's current project may lie in Spector's past. One of his coworkers while working at TSR was one Allen Varney, who cowrote a module for the cult sci-fi role-playing game Paranoia with Spector. According to Varney's online resume, he also handled "principal design" on a game called "Junction Point" while at Looking Glass Studios (then Looking Glass Technologies) at the same time as Spector. Varney describes the game as "[a] massively multiplayer fantasy role-playing game, changed in midstream to a single-player science-fiction role-playing game," which was canceled in 1997.</em></blockquote> |

Fear not. I assume Warren Spector is smarter than that. He knows the mmorpg market is limited in size and has no room to expand. |

With all the talent, time and money being thrown at this market, someday, somewhere, eventually, someone is going to make a GOOD one. I know it seems unlikely, I've about given up on the entire genre myself. But Mr. Specter may be just the person to pull it off. Barring that, I'd just like to see a game that would make me forget that Looking Glass Studio's died a needless, tragic death. ...And screw EA and Eidos! |
