Has the world gone mad? It was only last week that we heard that Activision was considering turning its much famed Call of Duty series into an MMO. Now GTA developers Rockstar games are thinking of jumping on the band wagon. The boss of Rockstar Games Sam Houser revealed that the company is extremely tempted by the MMO format. Surely two of the true greats can’t be trashed by going to an MMO format.
As the interview progressed Houser was pushed to explain why he was considering a GTA MMO. Houser responded ‘a subscription based MMO on a console is like the holy grail’. Houser has been a long admirer of the World of War Craft but we have to ask why would gamers want to switch from the existing format. Its clear that Rockstar Games has a lot of thinking to do but in the meantime they should check out Crackdown Studios latest effort.
This is very sad news indeed.
