B&S Producer & Art Director Interview

15 12 2009

NCsoft released a second video for Blade&Soul at G-Star. The video contains the interview with the game’s producer and art director. Took me a while to find the correct vid with English subs, but here it is.

I’m really glad the people behind B&S are working hard to make the game unique. The current MMORPGs are all the same nowadays. I hate the simple ”click” and “endless attack” our characters ALWAYS do in-game which is the reason I quit playing MMORPGS. Hopefully, B&S (along with other upcoming titles such as TERA, C9, etc) will offer something different.

“High graphics and low specs.” That’s what I like the most about Korean MMOs. Like Granado Espada and S4 League, your PC can be a few years old yet you can still play the games fine. Apparently, the longer AION is successful, the more time the Bloodlust team will have to continue developing B&S. In that case, I hope NCsoft’s other MMORPG continues to do well because I can wait a few  months for a better B&S game. ; )

Finally, I’m impressed. Though I’ve known who Kim Hyungtae was for several years (make that a long time ago), I always thought Kim was simply an illustrator who did character designs for games. Turns out he had other skills including 3D modeling. Now he’s even an “Art Director.”  Call me a new fan. : D





Blade&Soul G-Star Trailer

28 11 2009

NCsoft finally revealed their new Blade&Soul trailer at G-Star. We now know a total of 4 playable races (Jin, Gon, Kun, Lyn) and classes (Blade Master, Kung-Fu Master, Force Master, Destroyer). The rather long clip shows new game features as well like in-game voice acting, cutscenes, jumping, etc.

I must admit, the game just gets more interesting at every new trailer. I’m looking forward to more class introductions. (See the summoner and gunner in the trailer?) Personally, I have the crazy urge to create a cute Lyn character right now. Has anyone else picked the race(s) or class(es) they want to play? : D
