The Auto Assault team confirms development on a new MMO for a 'major toy company'...
NetDevil, developer of NCsoft's vehicular MMO Auto Assault, has confirmed production of a new MMO based on a 'major toy company'.
In an interview with online industry publication Gamasutra, NetDevil held back on naming the toy IP, other than stating that, "It's not that hard to figure out, but everyone we've told this to has responded that the IP is a natural fit for a MMO."
Further news on the MMO is expected to come in the early part of January, though it's thought that NCsoft will not be publishing the new title.
The studio also announced that it was working on a shooter for physX Physics Card creators Ageia, which aims to deliver more realistic levels of destructibility than before:
"The way physics are handled now, we like to call that 'house of cards' destruction, where things just sort of get knocked over. What we are talking about with this new project is being able to destroy anything in the environment one chunk at a time. I think we have an edge in there in physics development, and we'll be showing this project off soon."
We'll have more news shortly...
