Big Screen Entertainment Group Announces Its First MMO Video Game
Big Screen Entertainment Group (BULLETIN BOARD: BSEG) is proud to announce that development is underway on its first "massively multiplayer online" PC game.
Massively multiplayer online games (MMO's) give video game players the ability to play online against thousands of other players from around the world. MMO's have recently reached mainstream popularity, driven by such games as Sony Online Entertainment's "EverQuest" and "EverQuest II" as well as Blizzard Entertainment's record selling "World of Warcraft", which has more than 6.5 million active players. MMOs account for a large part of the more than 11 billion dollars of the video gaming industry revenue.
Big Screen's MMO will incorporate elements of the company's upcoming horror/thriller, "Babysitter Wanted" and will be geared toward the 14+ teen through the adult market. The title for the game will be announced in the next few weeks.
BSEG will roll out the game in two separate stages. Initially, a working MMO will be released within the next twelve months. The game's platform will be constantly updated offering subscribers new challenges and character options.
In phase two, the game will be upgraded to "Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game" (MMORPG). MMORPGs give users the ability to role play inside the real time virtual world as well as play against others. BSEG will concurrently make the game compatible for the popular XBOX, PlayStation 3, and comparable platforms as well.
"We're excited to have acquired all the components needed to make this a profitable, exclusive, feature rich, one of a kind MMO which will tie in nicely with BSEG's aggressive participation in advancing technology," stated BSEG's Daniel Silverstein.
"I'm extremely pleased with the deal we've made to produce the MMO," added Big Screen CEO, Kimberley Kates. "We are working with top notch developers and programmers who will adapt the most exciting and game worthy set pieces from our upcoming motion picture, "Babysitter Wanted". And the cross marketing potential for both the game and film is phenomenal."
