Nej, du læser ikke forkert og pas nu på du ikke får kaffen galt i halsen. Vi måtte her på redaktionen tjekke kilderne et par gange ekstra, før vi kunne tro på at SEE Virtual Worlds med Michael Jacksons familie i ryggen, tilsyneladende forsøger at give afdøde Jackson virtuelt evigt liv med Planet Michael. Det er lidt svært at beskrive “spillet”, men vi bliver nu lovet “et virtual reality univers bestående af flere planeter som er bundet sammen af licensbaserede Michael Jackson-produkter”. Vi håber naturligvis på, at den planet, hvor Jackson-familien tilsyneladende har opholdt sig lidt for længe, også er med i dette “spil”. Det er meningen at “den første planet” – Planet Michael – skal gå i luften i løbet af 2011. Vi har inkluderet pressmeddelelsen i fuld længde (tryk dig igennem nyheden) samt de to første screenshots.
LOS ANGELES – September 21, 2010 – SEE Virtual WorldsTM, and the Michael Jackson Estate today announce Planet MichaelTM, a massively multiplayer online virtual world set to launch in late 2011. Planet Michael will offer fans around the globe an innovative interactive gaming and social experience that celebrates Michael Jackson’s life as an artist and humanitarian. This is just the first of a virtual reality universe of connected planets tied to licensed franchises produced by SEE Virtual WorldsTM.
The new planet, currently slated for launch next year, will be an immersive virtual space themed after iconic visuals drawn from Michael’s music, his life, and the global issues that concerned him. At its core, Planet Michael is a massive social gaming experience that will allow everyone, from the hardcore fan to the novice, to connect and engage in collaborative in-game activities with people worldwide. Entire continents will be created that will celebrate Michael’s unique genius in a way that underscores his place as the greatest artist of all time. Michael’s long-time fans will feel at home, as they find themselves in places that seem familiar and yet unknown at the same time, and new generations will discover and experience Michael’s life in a way never before imagined.
Planet Michael is one of the first themed planets that SEE Virtual Worlds will publish for the Entropia Universe, a vast dynamic 3D environment created and provided to end users by MindArk PE AB. The Entropia Universe features several existing planets and combines a revolutionary cash economy with cutting-edge graphics. Although Planet Michael is a free-to-download world without monthly subscription fees, the real world in-game economy features gameplay monetization that allows players to take on dozens of different occupations and, in certain instances, contribute to a charitable cause at the same time.
“When we first approached the Estate and talked about creating Planet Michael, one of our primary goals was to build an interactive environment where fans from all over the world come together to affirm Michael’s life-long dedication to fostering global friendships,” said Martin Biallas, CEO of SEE Virtual Worlds. “In building a space worthy of those global connections, we envisioned a magical, enjoyable place that will capture that zest for fun and life that was at Michael’s very core. Throughout his extensive career, the King of Pop was well-known for his visionary contributions to music, dance, fashion, entertainment and philanthropy, and it was critical that we somehow incorporate all of those elements into the game.”
“No artist unified the world like Michael Jackson, so it is fitting that in Planet Michael his fans will be able to join together in such a unique way online to celebrate his music, his artistry and his devotion to helping those in need,” said John Branca, co-executor for The Estate of Michael Jackson. “Michael was always exploring creative new ways technology could enhance the experiences of his fans, and for that reason we are thrilled to be working with SEE Virtual Worlds to build a global interactive experience that befits an artist as innovative as Michael Jackson” added John McClain, co-executor of the Estate.




























Usmageligt.
what…the…fuck!?
Den her nyhed fik mig til at tjekke kalenderen. Det er ikke den 1 april i dag åbenbart.
Alriiiight… den havde jeg så ikke lige regnet med.
Fik fandeme min middagsmad her galt i halsen
WE ARE DOOMED!
Jeg var lidt skeptisk i starten, men de 3 screenshots overbeviste mig fuldstændigt. Jeg er så game.
Super Mario Galaxy med Michael Jackson skin og soundtrack FTW.
you have got to be kidding me
Incoming 1 stk fail MMO
W……T……F
HAHAHHA
Riiiiiiiiight…
Nice de har mistet deres pengeko, så nu malker de mindet… Den familie er så langt ude.
haha you gotta be kidding…
De burde lave en bogserie med nogenlunde denne titel: How to Profit On a Dead Guy
lolkalot siger jeg bare
Edit: Titel på bog nr. 2: How To Make a Corpse Spew Coins By Kicking It In The Ass Repeatedly While Playing Smooth Criminal
Den stakkels mand…
Den havde jeg sgu ikke set komme.
Dot… dot… dot…
Godt de valgte et MMO. For det er jo så nemt at få dem til at blive succesfulde.
Det var en nyhed jeg sagtens kunne ha undværet… Hvis jeg sover af helvede til inat så bebrejder jeg DIG Phonetic
De burde have valgt et action spil hvor man som Michael skulle rende rundt som zombie og jagte alle de læger der havde dopet en mens man var i live, slutbossen skulle selvfølgelig være lægen der gav ham en overdosis
Nu må Blizzard vidst se sig slået.. Et Mj mmo kan kun betyde enden for wow
jeg forventer en underverden, som minder ufatteligt meget om Second Life, og som pudsigt nok også er fyldt med perverse og pædofile
Finally a wow killer!
det skal HELT klart prøves !
og vi hører fra dem igen, når spillet går konkurs..
farvel
Okay, eeeeh . . . skummelt . . .
First i was like… What?! Then i was like… Meh!
hvor er det klamt imo.
Men det skal da nok sælge som en sindsyg til 10+ millioner hardcore fans..
Wat, what is this, I don’t even…
