Return of Legendary RPG, The War of Genesis 4
January 18th, 2012
Before I start talking about this game, I need to explain what this game means to Korean gamers and market first.
<The War of Genesis>(<WG>) series has been one of the best and most famous Korean RPG ever. Its developer, Softmax, introduced its first series in December 1995 and released its 6th and last title, <WG3:Part 2>, in December 2000, featuring high quality graphics and sounds, impressive characters, awesome skill effects, various strategics, top voice actors and profound story.
The games had set an unprecedented record of 700,000 sales as a sole game series and had brought a golden age to the developer.
HyungTae Kim, currently AD of <Blade & Soul> of NCsoft, made a name for himself with his unique characters as a character artist of <WG3>.
After 12 years, Softmax finally revealed the development of a MMORPG <WG4: Spiral Genesis>. However the news is just not utterly welcome because Softmax had always said “We do not want to develop <WG4> or remake the series because they are our last resorts.”
YunKyu Choi the director of Softmax said “Blizzard did a good job on melting history and content of <Warcraft> into <World of Warcraft>. I believe <WG> series got some history and world of its own. So we are putting a lot of effort into conveying our own feelings and worlds through keeping the characteristic content and history of the game, evading simple grinding and level-up.”
Softmax has developed RPG <Magna Carta> and <Magna Carta 2>, MMORPG <Talesweaver>, and MOTPS <SD Gundam Capsule Fighters> for last decade.

Power Rangers Online Revealed for Upcoming CBT
October 28th, 2011Ntreev Soft revealed its action MORPG <Power Rangers Online> today and announced its first CBT taking place on November 3 at the production report in Seoul.
<Power Rangers Online> is a 8-directions-side-scrolling action MORPG grounded on Japanese TV drama series <Power Rangers>. Its story is based on <Power Rangers Magic Force> aired in Korea 2006.
Watch the video first. :)
Click to watch the play video.
As you can see the play video linked above, only red, yellow, and pink rangers are available during the CBT for now. They fight as ordinary citizen at the beginning of each game and will transform into power rangers later. The ordinary citizen will just punch and kick. Special abilities are only available after the transformation.
The players will start the game at the beginner town ‘Magic Island’ and continue to the main stage headquarter.
Just like the characters, story, etc., enemy bosses are also from the original series. 14 bosses are awaiting the testers during the first CBT. As you might expect the enlarged bosses at the very end of the battle just like the TV series, they of course get enlarged when they get killed once. Then the players will be granted a new combination ability that can only be activated with other players to distroy the enemy. Check it out at the end of the video.
While casting the super awesome combination ability, the players are to hit keyboard as many as they can for next 10 seconds. The one who hit the most will be chosen as MVP and be rewarded a box with random epic items.
Baseball White Paper from NCsoft for Dinos Fans
September 1st, 2011As you all may know, NCsoft founded a professioinal baseball team ‘NC Dinos’ in Korea. As a part of marketing I guess, NCsoft introduced a baseball white paper iPad application called ‘iAction Book’.
You can watch its teaser video at here.
iAction Book provides baseball terminologies, stories, guides, quizzes, mini games, and so on in order for beginner baseball fans to understand everything about baseball much easier.
NCsoft has recently strengthened smartphone and tablet PC markets. TaekJin Kim the CEO of NCsoft also has said “We have to change and focuse on mobile environment.” It also made smartphone applications for web game <Might and Magic Heroes Kingdoms> and social music service 24hz, and contents of <Blade & Soul> and <Guild Wars 2> are also going to be out on mobile platforms.
Therefore I guess NCsoft should be called an entertainment conglomerate encompassing game, music, sports in multiple platforms and genres instead of a game developer.
