hypothetically

If someone were to get a kickstarter going for DAOC2 how much do you reckon it would cost to make? using say the unreal engine or such.

 

[Mabs]

cost, or talent ?
need to find people to actually make it...

 

[Aada]

More than any game that has used kick starter so about 20 million probably even more if you want to take into account the costs of keeping the servers up.

 

[Gwadien]

I think EA/Bioware or who ever it is now should really ask people if they're interested, I think they'd get more interested than they did when DAOC first came out.

 

[Raven]

Oh, I dunno. A few 10s of millions...if you want it to be made well and attract customers.

I doubt the unreal engine would cut it tbh.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Near the 100mil mark(probably more) if you count in all that is needed to get a launch going(servers, qa, support) and to actually make it better then original graphical and gameplay included.

Is there any engine that could support a relic raid with several hundred people at 30+ fps??

After Warhammer and Star Wars MMOs failures EA won't be giving the green light for MMOs for years.

 

[Mabs]

well seeing as "BIOWARE MYTHIC" is now just "MYTHIC" and is, quote "focusing on mobile games" from now on, i think they wont ever again

 

[Raven]

The brand is dead. EA won't be touching MMOs for a long time to come.

I don't know why people put so much energy into wanting it to return to past glories, it stopped being good about 6 years ago. It will not be worked on any more and they certainly won't bring out a sequel. Just let it go

 

[old.Tohtori]

Daoc style RPG ala Skyrim?

 

[ECA]

The first thing I'd say is Why the eff would you use the unreal engine? One of the worst engines in recent times.

its actually a good engine.. for FPS
people started assuming it was the best thing evar for everything,w hich it clearly isnt

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Use Starcraft 2's engine. I mean, it has lots of little mans running around on screen at same time, it must be awesome for an MMO, right?
