What could have happened if AoS was made in 2001?

For all things AoS!

What could have happened if AoS was made in 2001?

Postby Paratrooper » Fri Feb 24, 2012 5:28 am

Imagine what could have happened if AoS was released in 2001, a year after the Voxlap engine was release?

Would it have revolutionized future gameplay? Would the Frostbite engine (or similar) be made much earlier? Would minecraft even be made?

Post whatever you think.
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

If AoS were made 11 years ago then today;

AoS would be sitting at maybe V 1.6 with two dozenish players with ben lost in Vietnam and presumably dead.

Nobody 'd whine about the graphics.
Minecraft would be an AoS clone.

Anything. Would all rely on the development of the game and the way it moved forwards.

We wouldn't have the CoD and BF ideas spammed everywhere, and we wouldn't have people denying ides just because they are from CoD and BF.

We'd probably have no players because there weren't many big gaming forums back then. Not to mention the entire community was 4 or 5 then.

the world as we know it would be in a complete war over control of AoS ,and half the population will have evolved into underground midgets that look like orcs,and hate all people who arent like them and the world would be forever locked in war.oh yeah and ill be sitting on top of mount Everest with all the Russians under my command, launching nukes at whom we please.and we would have a giant blender full of bronies :D

It would either be crushed like Infini-miner, or be a legend by now. Either way, I think the games in the best time frame for success.

Also I think 32 player internet multiplayer wasn't invented yet. So being an indie game with no add budget, we would be doomed to obscurity.
