SOE Picks Up Former Monolith Employees

Posted by Zonk on from the shaking-out-the-good-ones dept.

eXxy writes "1UP.com talked to SOE about the Matrix Online announcement, and came away with some info that wasn't in the public PR. SOE is picking up many former MxO employees and offering jobs at their Seattle office, the DC Comics game is PSP/PS3/PC and should be cross-compatible between all three platforms, stuff like that."

    The gap here is much larger than what you find in the PC world. It's like trying to port Unreal Tournament 2003 to a P2/233 with a Voodoo 2 card and 64MB RAM. With such a huge gap you cannot rely on downsampling textures and autoLODs, you have to pretty much redo your assets. MMORPGs also have unpredictable numbers of objects onscreen (think marketplace), that might become problematic with the RAM unless the game is designed for the PSP first.

    As for the HD/storage meduim, well, something's got to hold the addons and patches.
