Insight Into the SCI FI
Channel MMOG
Since its launch on September 24, 1992, the SCI FI Channel has been a
haven for television viewers that are looking for programming that
strays away from campy sitcoms or clichéd soap operas. Instead the SCI
FI Channel specializes in the abnormal from horror to fantasy to
science fiction and does it with a respectability that you wouldn't
find on a normal network station. So when the announcement hit the
internet that the SCI FI Channel had partnered with the Trion World
Network to create an MMOG was tremendous news for gaming aficionados
that have been searching for the perfect alternative universe
experience.
To find out more about the upcoming game and the SCI FI Channel side of
the equation, Ten Ton Hammer's Cody "Micajah" Bye sat down with SCI
FI's executive vice president Adam Stotsky and asked him a variety of
questions ranging from the genre of the game to their decision to work
with Trion. If you're interested in hearing more about the game from
Trion World Network's point of view, check back in with Ten Ton Hammer
on June 17 to check out our exclusive interview with Trion World
Network!
the SCI FI Channel have any experience in helping create video games?
Or will this be the first time?

style="font-weight: bold;">Adam: Through our
colleagues at Universal consumer products we have had some experience
in the video gaming sector. Battlestar Galactica has a few gaming
ventures. More importantly we know that the SCI FI audience is very
passionate about video games. It just made sense for us to develop this
area further.
