Offering a wide variety of experiences across pretty much every genre imaginable, you’ll be hard pressed to find only one to focus your attention on. That doesn’t even take into account the social or persistent aspects of the whole thing. The Jumpgate franchise repents one such MMO, although it carries a bigger focus on skill-based gaming than some of the others on the market. The first title released back in 2001, during what many consider the tail-end of the early years for MMOs. Jumpgate Classic featured twitch-based space flight-sim combat utilizing "jumpgates" in order to traverse it’s 150 sectors and included PvP, PvE, trading, mining, and other activities. At this year’s E3 I had a chance to sit with the folks at NetDevil to see how the sequel, Jumpgate: Evolution is shaping up."
LEGO Universe developer NetDevil has apparently laid off a large number of staff, with stories already circulating that the company has been closed.
GamePron is still searching for an official statement from NetDevil or parent company Gazillion, but studio founder and former president Scott Brown has called out to his former colleagues via social media.
Hit-Reset's Davejm takes a look at what has happened to the highly anticipated follow up to Jumpgate.
Remember Jumpgate Evolution? The space based MMO that promised some amazing space combat. So where is Jumpgate Evolution? This is the question Codemasters have been asking and so far they're still without a game. Legal action us now underway.
