N-Gage Moves To PCs In Desperate Bid To Become More Horrible
How I missed this one earlier in the week is beyond me. Still, carrion is as carrion does, and to my vulpine senses the Nokia N-Gage reeks like a month-old wildebeest carcass. Not content to be merely a failed handheld gaming telephone, the N-Gage brand is being reanimated as a standalone game platform for both various mobile devices and poor, innocent PCs who I'm sure did nothing to deserve this torment.
Nokia's hard at work on a big game for their new blunder, and the top-secret item goes by the nom de crime of "Project White Rock," which I'll assume refers to the rock that should have been used to bludgeon whomever signed off on this foregone catastrophe.
Or maybe I'm a terrible Nostradamus: "Project White Rock," under development at RedLynx, is headed by mobile MMOG pioneer Scott Foe and is rumored to contain over a thousand lines of recorded dialogue. Whether the plan is to build a mobile game so good that I need a PC to appreciate it or to build a PC game so mediocre that I can only appreciate it slapped onto a telephone is beyond my ken, but I'll be curious to see what happens. RPG innovation has saved the day before.
