Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work.
Attention all you Arrakis fanatics : we got another big look at Funcom's upcoming survival MMO Dune: Awakening today. First up, our own Joshua Wolens told us he's itching to play it after seeing a demo, despite being neither
A location called Hagga Basin is your starting point,"a server with a minimum of 40 other players" where you can build a base, scavenge, and craft. If you want to link up with your friends, Dune: Awakening's server browser will show you where they're all playing, Bylos said. Once you're ready for greater challenges and have built your own ornithopter, you can"physically fly" around the world in an"overland map" with a top-down view.
It looks interesting, or at least different: I don't recall seeing an overworld map of this kind in an MMO before that you can navigate through to visit new regions as opposed to just clicking an icon of the place you'd like to travel to. It reminds me a little bit of something like Mount & Blade where you're looking down at a representation of yourself and the region you're in as you and your companions physically across the world.
