Santa's Head just recently dropped a bit of a zinger on our forum in response to some comments about Iron-enabled Trow in Myth III: The Wolf Age. A lot of people have openly expressed concern about the possibility for one of the most powerful units in Myth becoming even more powerful. This is what SH had to say:
Kudos to John Bell, who pointed out an interview with Scott Campbell, the story designer and project lead for Myth 3, at DailyRadar. While I'd swear I've heard a particular line from this interview quoted before, I think it's new material... must be deja vu. An excerpt:
There's a new Myth III preview up at Gamespot, and it includes a number of new images! Thanks go to Ax for reporting this one.
As posted on the FutureMyth forum, SiliconDream and David Bricker will be holding a teach-in on the Myth storyline at RHL two nights hence. It'll be at 6pm Pacific / 7pm Mountain / 8pm Central / 9pm Eastern. I'll admit I've not yet observed David expounding upon the storyline, but to listen to Sili is really something.
Kudos to El Bastard, who pointed out an unexpected development: a Myth 3 Teaser from Mumbo by way of the folk at MacGamer. Weighing in at a modest 16 megs, the .avi file is available via several mirrors.
It's an interesting teaser. Very nicely done, though the first half is largely Myth 2 footage. However, the second half is all new, giving us a look at the 3D ghol that has appeared in screenshots before. Definitely something to download and have a look at.
A few hints towards Myth 3's storyline? S'phtman has posted an article with information taken from the Myth GURPS which details some of Connacht's history, and therefore potentially some of Myth 3's storyline. An interesting historical read, and S'phtman offers some excellent analysis as well.
GOD's Myth 3 page is now up at http://www.godgames.com/main.php?section=gamers&game=myth3, although it can be reached at the easier-to-remember http://myth.godgames.com/ URL. The page is clearly in its infancy, but it already has one never-before-scene character sketch. Who might that guy be?
Kudos to ax, who pointed out what I believe is the first Myth 3 preview at Computer Games Online. The preview is a must see: along with some new information in the text of the article, there are handful of screenshots of maps in development. For those of you keeping score at home, the shots are from Macintosh editors. A tidbit:
