Realtime Worlds Reveals Project: MyWorld

Related Topics – Project: MyWorld, Trailer, screenshots, PC, Realtime Worlds

Coming off of the release of APB, Realtime Worlds is throwing us a curveball with Project: MyWorld, a "3D social gaming experience" set in a recreation of the real world.

The project is definitely a social experience with the trailer showing off Facebook-esque notifications corresponding to player actions.

The trailer also features building creation and customization as well as several minigames: driving, flying, and fishing. Certainly a departure from APB and the original Crackdown.

Project: MyWorld is scheduled for launch in 2011 and a closed beta should be kicking off shortly. If you want some virtual world creation until then, check out Minecraft.

This kinda makes me think they want to make a Crackdown/GTA-esque game using the entire world instead of just a single city (which is pretty epic awesome), but since it would take them forever to model the entire world in this level of detail with any accuracy, they are outsourcing the work to the community in the form of making a game out of it.

I made a design doc of a game not unlike this.

Mine was more like Sim City meets The Sims. The users were supposed to create everything from scratch. It was community-based where nearby block owners could vote to demolish eyesores. Totally self-policing.

It would've made money on players trading/owning/renting real estate and taking a cut.

This game looks a little lamer (ahem, I mean... accessible) though where one person can make 100 buildings pretty easily with no indoors, which is lame.

They should hire me. I only live in Edinburgh.

This isn't running on the same engine as APB, is it?

Because, my god, I haven't seen an engine that bad in a long, long time.

Slight interest... Reminds me of Cities XL. Getting tired of the whole social network scene. FB is nice every once in a while or to be able to get a hold of people without having a phone but that's about it.

If they just released the APB character creation tools they could probably charge people 20$ for it.

Looks like they're trying to cash in on the social thing.
Crackdown1 was so good. Just stick to action and blowing stuff up. The tech just isn't there for this kind of thing yet.
