Game conventions are normally all about the giant guns, & this year's GDC is no different. We have talked to all of them (as you'll see as the week rolls on), but sometimes it is the miniscule guys that provide the fascinating nuggets.
GDC 2011: GameSamba's Remnant Knights hosting special week-long beta
Take GameSamba & its whimsical free-to-play Remnant Knights title, for example. While the game is currently in closed beta (with a true open beta to come at an as-yet undetermined future date), Massively editor-in-chief Shawn Schuster learned about a special one-week beta check after speaking with GameSamba earlier this afternoon.
The testing phase starts tomorrow & is open to somebody & everybody. You can sign up, as well as learn more about the game's Priests, Gunners, & Crashers, at the official web-site. While you're at it, have a glance at the Remnant Knights trailer after the cut. Finally, don't forget to check back later in the week for an interview with the GameSamba team.
The free-to-play conversion has definitely wrought some far-reaching changes for Champions Online, but as producer Rob Overmeyer puts forth in the latest State of the Game letter, there is still more to come. Aside from numerous C-Store additions for players, a new power framework & a new adventure pack are both in the works for the next couple of months. In addition, the development team is looking to add "Comic Series" missions on a regular basis, akin to the featured episodes implemented in Star Trek Online.
Champions Online discusses the future of the game, adding voice chat
This letter comes hot on the heels of the announcement that Cryptic Studios will be partnering with Vivox to bring built-in voice chat to both of its current games. That benefits both Champions Online & Star Trek Online, although no details are currently available for the exact implementation of the feature or the integration timetable. Still, fans of the game ought to be happy to see that the change in models has not hurt any of the game's long-term plans for content or functionality.
