WoW As A Herald Of The Zombie Invasion
I mentioned it in passing yesterday, but it’s been published now, so you can read the article (that was supposed to be a blog post) but turned into its own giant treatise on the potential for a zombie MMORPG.
Long story short, I think that the time for a zombie MMORPG is, well, now. Between XBox Live, the PlayStation Network, the Wii’s online capability, and general availability of high speed Internet, people have never been this interested in playing games online before. If you can strike while the iron is hot, look outside the high fantasy and science-fiction genres, and attach a marketable name (Resident Evil) to whatever zombie MMO you’ve got, you can reach a whole lot of people.
Author’s note: My lack of focus is apparent even in that article. This is how my mind works. I can’t contain it, let alone stop it. May as well just run with it.
