EA Origin to Reveal Ultima-X Odyssey
Sutekh-Acolyte writes "Richard Garriott and the other founders of Origin may be gone, but the developer is still alive and kicking. Electronic Arts is hosting an event in San Francisco on August 21-22, dubbed 'EA-X Event'. It'll give around 100 hardcore MMORPG gamers and select members of the gaming press a first look at Origin's secret project that previously has been almost entirely in the dark up until now: Ultima-X: Odyssey. It will be interesting to see if UXO brings some innovation to MMORPGs or lives off the genre's popularity." As well as the movie on the EA-X site, there's a good summary of current information at RPGDot, and Ianstorm.com has a gallery of new 3D renders from Liquid Development, who seem in some way related to an unannounced Ultima project.
Goddamnit, I'm still so pissed off about the canceling of UO2 that I cry myself to sleep at the base of a grave I carved myself. If I ever meet the guy that made that decision I'm gonna punch him in the face so he won't see me wind up for the kick to his groin.
