Also, why does the graphic read NitroZen, as opposed to Nitrogen? Which is it? Honestly, they should just do the smart thing and hire me to take the place of whoever wrote this press release. >.>

"L.A.W (Living After War), MMORPG for adults on life in 2350 after a nuclear war!"
"stylish action MMORPG for adults on life in 2340 after a nuclear war."
If they pay this much attention to detail, 15 minutes in we will have absolutely no idea of the setting at all.

Those a some good weasel words. I wonder who it is, I think we can rule out any of the directors by virtue of them all being either dead, retired or George Lucas. If it was George Lucas they'd have bloody well said George Lucas rather than fed us weasel words. What we're looking for is a "well-known" director who worked on one of the Star Wars films in some capacity but hasn't done anything more relevant to this project since... hmm interesting. Frank Oz maybe? No, probably not, I'm drawing a blank here. Any ideas people?
The game sounds quite good too but for an MMO the devil really is in the details so I'm not going to get excited yet.

If that sounds quite good, I have a million 'quite good' ideas for games.

THE STAR WARS?
*dies*

...anyways, I searched for "Star Wars" and this is what I got:
Star Wars (1977)
aka "The Star Wars" - USA (original script title)"
So, to be fair, the original script title for Star Wars is "The Star Wars".... also, now that I think of it, the original poster that that I have hanging on my game room wall says "The Star Wars" as well, I had forgotten about that......
/I swear I'm not nearly as much of a fanboy as I sound like. I haven't even played with my action figure in YEARS....

Is it really a wise move? I mean from last I checked this little game called WoW was still dominating like I dominate midgets at basketball...

The only way to make sure of that is to make your game free for a while. Which a lot of companies doing MMOs are doing now.
@bmacsmith: That's what I was thinking. You need to have Activision,EA kind of funding to be able to make it work.
It's one of the main reasons why a lot of MMOs close shop right away. Sure the premise of the game is good but if something went wrong you have to have deep pockets to be able to retrench whatever it is that's not working...
@Combine: Well the MMO genre has seen its fair share of milking. The Matrix tried a stab at it, so did other developers with Mech aspirations and all...

Oh well, I'm sure this will be their flagship offering and everything will go just super-duper.

OH NO HE DI'INT!

...Oh wait...that doesn't make it much better. But then again, I didn't like any of the Star Wars movies.
