Funcom Informally Announces Next Big Thing
We took a look at the Norwegian developer's next major project at E3 2003.
We watched a brief movie trailer for Funcom's next project, an unannounced action game that the developer simply refers to as its "next big thing" (or "NBT," for short). The trailer opened with the pronouncement, in bold letters, that "Horror goes online." The trailer also showed concept-art paintings of various characters dressed in the kind of finery you'd associate with Victorian-age nobility. It then cut to a sweeping view of a dark, mist-enshrouded forest full of individually rendered (and extremely withered) trees. The trailer then cut to an unmistakable first-person shooter sequence that showed the action from a player's first-person view, holding a pistol while strafing down a hill, trying to draw a bead on a misshapen humanoid figure that shambled up the hill at a startling speed. The trailer ended with a walk up through the dead forest on a rough-hewn stairway that ended in a small stone cairn decorated to look like a church.
While we don't have a lot of information on the game, it may very well be the first massively multiplayer horror-themed game ever created. We'll bring you more details as we get them.
