Advent Rising Announced

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the games-besides-ender's dept.

Phy writes "3DGPU reports a story from Blues News today that Majesco has officially announced Advent Rising, a third-person action/adventure game trilogy developed on the Unreal engine for PC and Xbox created in collaboration with famed sci-fi author Orson Scott Card. The Advent Rising website is now online. The site has a place to register, a copy of the formal press announcement, and a couple of wallpapers." I admit I don't usually read books that I don't have to, but I've read a couple of Card's books and enjoyed them. Here's hoping his talents translate well to pixels.

    I know for a fact that Mr. Card worked on the story for LucasArts The Dig.

    According to Moby Games, he also worked on some other games, but I don't know how accurate that information is.

  2. Majesco? GlyphX? Card? by jvmatthe · · Score: 3, Informative

    This is the same publisher that put out the awful Soldier of Fortune port for the PS2? The butchered Earthworm Jim 2 for the GBA?

    And who is GlyphX, the developer? What have they done before?

    And this is the same Card that wrote the brilliant Ender's Game but the less-than-brilliant sequels?

    Sorry, but it's going to take more than those names to make me interested in a game.
