Play Majestic
by Steve Gibson, Jul 24, 2001 10:52am PDTAlright well here's the experiment of the afternoon. We've all seen at least a little bit about Majestic being published by EA. Pay $10 a month for threatening faxes! as a few people have said. EA has made the "pilot chapter" of the game free online (Thanks Jack & Blues) for everyone to play. Thing is you gotta sign up (free) for EA.com. Here's a description of what's going on from an earlier news item:
It's played in real time. If a character in MAJESTIC says they'll get back to you tomorrow, they will literally call you tomorrow. This pace of gameplay is very different from most games, which operate at an accelerated pace. What's so powerful about this concept is that once we've established that the game can connect with you through devices such as instant messaging or the phone, anytime an IM window pops up or the phone rings it could be from the game. This adds to and builds the sense of anticipation that the user feels, which for MAJESTIC has become a key creative element.Someone wanna play this thing and tell us if it's a turd? I'm probably gonna give it a shot this evening.

is what Real, AOL, and other sponsors don't want you to know.
The true goal of Majestic is simple.
Warp the minds of players, with only the most dedicated players reaching the "conclusion":
a trip to Germany, and the sniper rifle aided assassination of the lead programmer for Ad Aware.
Quite brilliant if you ask me.

Where I thought it would be boring as well it ended up being VERY engrossing, and very cool. I'm sur a lot of it had to do with the production values and such, but it was spread across various websites, voice mail numbers, emails, a few faxes, and even calls t you on cell phones if you chose to give that information to them. An added bonus was some real-but-staged events (an actual political rally in New York, Chicago and LA; a Q&A about the movie continually brought the Beast --as the gae was called -- in to the mix of questions through planted questioners; that sort of thing). It really ended up being a blast to wrap your brain around. (Some of the emails they've sent out as teasers/dev diaies have had hidden text and puzzles within them already that pointed people to voicemail numbers. Very cool, but bad voice acting so far.)
Of course, it's all about reading, comprehending, and puzzle-solving. Lots of thinking. If you're only into games for the shooter aspect of it, you're gonna be bored. Hopefully this will end up being a good experience as well. I hope to find out later today.
