what do you guys think about this one? Is it gonna be any good?

If 38Studios can pay its bills and this game actually gets produced....it might be good, but it is going to be very similar to WoW based on how Reckoning played.

Both Curt Schilling and RA Salvatore are/where HUGE Everquest nerds.

So maybe it will turn out ok.

WoW copy #344321

Curt Shilling was also a huge WoW nerd too...so I think he cancels himself out.

Well I wouldn't assume too much, seeing as they didn't actually make Reckoning. That game was made by another company and 38studios just bought the game and made adjustments to lore and stuff, and then released it - most likely just as something to help with the funding for Copernicus.

I'm not an expert on him or his company, but from the bits I've seen, he doesn't seem the type who would just want to make another WoW clone. He formed his company when WoW clones was what everyone else was making, so it seemed to most people at the outset that his entire objective was to make something that stood out from the crowd. He also captured the imagination of a lot of the FOH people, which is hard to do. So there is 'some' chance that their game might be something different to the usual WoW formula. Hopefully!

My biggest concern at this point is whether they will be able to afford to develop it 'until it's done', rather than pulling another Vanguard and shoving out the door really prematurely and with a compromised design.

Game is vaporware.

How dare you people speak ill of Curt Schilling, one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Let us not forget the bloody sock incident. He will come through for us...assuming they can pay up those bills.

I love your profile pic.
