Stalking The Mainstream

摘要

When Mythic Entertainment released Dark Age of Camelot last October, it threw down the gauntlet in massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) development by implementing rich, detailed images an innovative game play. Since then, companies such as Funcom, Origin Systems, Turbine Entertainment, and Sony Online Entertainment have answered the challenge with MMOG titles that, like Camelot, also feature 3D-accel-erated graphic environments. These development efforts, which were chronicled last month in Part 1 of this series, have delivered the genre out of the Dark Ages, during which time simplistic imagery competed visually with a plethora of text and numbers on the computer screen.
