I can't read german.

If it is true I'm kinda disappointed that there has been no announcement.

But if you can Hinch... would have been nice of you to give a brief summary of what it said?

Bigben publishes Neocron in Germany

30.04.2004 - 13:21 o'clock - (mcv) 10tacel of studios assigns Bigben Interactive the publication of the massif Multiplayer on-line game of roles Neocron - Beyond of cathedrals OF York in Germany. With the new agreement the two enterprises want to underline the development of their co-operation. "we see - Beyond of cathedrals OF York to Neocron as optimal addition of our existing Produktportfolios", thus Jari Berger (photo), managing directors of Bigben Interactive Germany. "compared with established MMORPGs the title offers Potenzial by its unmistakable atmosphere and does not only draw the fan municipality of the first part into its spell. With 10tacel and Reakktor stand for us besides strong partners to the side, the all however position characteristics of the Games concisely work out." At present Bigben Marketingleiter Markus Malti with its team compiles a completely new marketing concept, to which in the coming weeks further information is to follow.

I thought 10T was the publisher?
wtf :confused:

[]v[ortice]

So these guys are an english publisher making an announcement in german?

Sounds like a laugh :)

In fact it sounds like someone decided to do this in the pub. I'm not knocking it mind... some of the greatest ideas were written on ripped beermats ^^

10T are not publishers. They are a media company

[Marx]

I thought 10T was teh publisher?
wtf :confused:
Negative.

To this day I'm still not clear on what it is - I think its just a financial supporter.

[hinch]

from what i heard mjs has a % stake in 10T :) but ofc thats just rumors.

as for bigben it says bigben germany will be publishing it in germany however judging by their size i'd assume they'd do it globally

[P4mp3rk3]

Negative.

To this day I'm still not clear on what it is - I think its just a financial supporter.

ok, kinda like KK's partner then...

/edit to add stuff :)

I've actually heard of BigBen before, so that's a good thing :cool:
+

i've seen lots of web-adds for Söldner and neighbours from hell, let's hope they do the same for Neocron.

[Spoon]

Sounds pretty interesting...

I would imagine there will be an official announcement soon...

Something else getting done, cool.........

Does it seem like things are starting to get done, or is it just me?

[Strych9]

Interesting it is Hinch that informs us that BDOY just might be represented at E3... esp after he had the thread where...
i was thinking more of the "OMG OMG OMG DOY AT E3" fanboi's

Hehe. :angel:

ooh...


Formed in April 2000, Bigben Interactive UK Ltd is part of the Bigben Interactive Group, the largest pan-European distributor of gaming software, peripherals and DVD

but then again


According to Media Control, CDV has been the biggest German publisher of PC games in the full-price segment several times since 2000. The company is currently utilizing the advantages of its base in Germany in order to rapidly move ahead and join the international "majors"

Overall - good move KK, only question - will Bigben cover your US and ASPAC distribution or are there localised companies being subcontracted?

Does it seem like things are starting to get done, or is it just me?

Yes and it scares me, and since this BigBen seem pretty big the future is starting to look pretty bright for DOY

I believe in miracles, SINCE BIGBEN INTERACTIVE came along, you sexy publisher.

Can I book you for TOTP2? On BBC2, probably at 3am when sane people are either asleep, or watching pr0n? I think that song would make a number 1! (heck, if Mr Blobby, St Winifreds School Choir,The Tellietubbies, Bob The Builder, Spice Girls and Will Young can have number 1's, YOU CAN TOO!!)

/edit @ above - google :p bablefish is a satanic right that allowed humans to speak the language of Satan!! Boycot babelfish! Boycot Satan! Boycot womens bra's!!

[Clownst0pper]

you still not got the greay background sorted, but looks nice :)

looks ok when quoted though ;)

[Clownst0pper]

Trying to still get it sorted with adobe 5 ezza, before i get 8.0, it must be possible :D Ill keep adding the updated shade colour everytime i post :) http://clownst0pper.20megsfree.com/PE-Emote.JPG

[Omnituens]

try using transparent "colour"

what else had BigBen done?

[Lafiel]

http://clownst0pper.20megsfree.com/PE-Emote.JPG


i would say thousands just from e3 and e3 coverage... not 100's ... e3 is one of the biggest gaming conventions ever

[Clownst0pper]

doesnt work on adobe 5.0, just fucks up, trying to just get the perfect grey background colour ;)


what else had BigBen done?

When i worked at GAME DanceUK is the largest selling dance game in the UK, so much so in our tiny shop we sold almost 100 units a day, not just due to the game, but because of there marketing and advertisments

[Clownst0pper]

i would say thousands just from e3 and e3 coverage... not 100's ... e3 is one of the biggest gaming conventions ever

I meant 1000's was a typo :D

[Lafiel]

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee things are defenatly going to turn out good if these guys are the real publishers.... but i dotn see any info on their site bout nc or even AO.... or any mmorpgs for that matter.....

[Lafiel]

I meant 1000's was a typo :D


sure you did ;) :lol: :angel:



........... edit: jailbird in viewing??????????? when did you happen to stroll back into NC???????? you evil being you

[Nidhogg]

I think it might be MCV's flappy mouth again. MJS has said he will make a statement as soon as he is able.

[Clownst0pper]

sure you did ;) :lol: :angel:



........... edit: jailbird in viewing??????????? when did you happen to stroll back into NC???????? you evil being you

I did but im 2 busy sorting these silly emote background shades :angel:

[athon]

This is a good move IMO. BigBen are obviously already aquinted with MMORPG's, digital distribution and related.

If the advertising campaign is even half that of AO's ongoing stuff I can see BDoY doing very well.

Reputation++ for KK & 10T IMO

thank you

[SypH]

When i worked at GAME .... Hey another GAME store monkey (albeit a former one;)) What store did you work in?


It would be cool if BB turned out to be the publisher. They have some pretty cool stuff (although they do have a few dodgy ones too....) so maybe we'll see a return to less depressing server population numbers once DoY gets out and about.

[Omnituens]

i mean, almost anyone would be better than CDV.
