You Can Stop, We've Got Enough

SEE Global Entertainment and the completely and totally a real virtual world Project Entropia combine to bring you:

PLANET MICHAEL.

Other sites have brought you the shattering news that you will soon be able to join, and I quote,

an immersive virtual space themed after iconic visuals drawn from Michael’s music, his life and the global issues that concerned him. 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 longtime 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. 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.

Other MMO websites, shattered by the implications of Michael Jackson’s genius, stopped there. I didn’t. I went behind the headlines to bring you the true story – the world that you, YES YOU, will join in Planet Michael. A world without pity. A world that cannot be stopped.

A world where there is only war.

Players will command the struggle of the mighty Legions of the Rhythm Nation over the shards of Neo Vegas, site of the last concert given by Tom Jones IV in 2095, before the Motown Alliance reduced Earth to nuclear fire. YOU will fight in the never ending Funk War.

And you will command the ultimate weapon in the Funk War, the Mecha Jackson.

Until Planet Michael launches, nay, emerges from its cocoon, awake and in search of dark plunder, you will have to content yourself with this video preview, which you can only see on this website (and also YouTube) of the level 12 raid content soon to come in Planet Michael.

Planet Michael: EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW

(note: I am still trying to confirm that Planet Michael will launch with open PVP.)

    Gameplay preview:

    It’s close to midnight and something evil’s lurking in the dark /
    Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart /
    You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it /
    You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes /
    You’re paralyzed

    In a move that could only be described by rational minds as utterly and unforgivably stupid, Martin Luther King day will be replaced and, henceforth, will be known as Michael Jackson day in honor of the King of Pop. So sayeth the screaming hysterical masses. Their will shall be done.

    My faith in humanity and its collective intelligence has plummeted to a new, unexpected low. Corporal Hicks was right. It’s the only way to be sure.

    Hey, the Jackson family has to pay all the debts somehow, right? Why stop at just half-sellout, go all the way!

    This is why we need Wikipedia. Otherwise our children would forget that Michael Jackson a) did music, and b) was black.

    And c) Was not the ruler of an industrialized police state.

    Did any of you play michael jackson’s moonwalker back in the early 90′s?

    Just curious.

  • http://Website JuJutsu

    I’d like to be able to say something witty but I’m pretty much speechless.

  • http://Website dartwick

    I am both confused and disturbed.

  • http://Website Boanerges

    Wait, this is a game where the end game raids consist of killing the various stages of Michael Jackson over and over to get your phat pop lewtz? Where can I pre-order a boxed copy?

    In all seriousness, this looks like it’s designed to compete with Second Life, except that they’re aiming to sell you the digital goods directly instead of letting you write your own (which, as we all know, is the surest way to summon the likes of Prokovy Neva).

    Incidentally, Scott stopped short in his digging. His missed this gem

    Think World of Warcraft— with no violence and more dancing. “The player is more apt to succeed in a situation using song, dance and adventure as opposed to violence,” Gordon says.

    Michael Jackson is such a legend, bringing a name on game might not be easy. We all know hardcore gamers prefer to play games with more violence. I bet this will hit for a while but, will this game gain the support of those gamers who consider gaming as their lifestyle?

    I’ve always wondered if Project Entropia was entirely legit (especially when I heard about their setting up a bank and whatnot). But wonder no more, the King of Pop is there.

  • http://Website Jerid

    Ok so the Jackson Family thought it was too soon for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iObWwFh0i8M&feature=fvst and had it removed from the game, but they’re all for Project Entropia?

    The cynic in me is saying “Project Entropia offered them more money”.

  • http://Website mcl

    I hear it is going to be a direct port of this:

    But with a chat client and achievement badges.

    Pretty much like every new MMO in the last 4 years.

    –m.

    Oh and if you win the cow level you get this:

    Oh, thank god. I thought that I was hallucinating when I saw it on Massively.

    Alright guys, welcome to the neverland. To get in everyone needs to have brought at least three young boys, if you don’t have one go back to the AH and pick some up. I’ll port you to Romania or Thailand AH as you like. Everyone needs Jesus juice to use the young boys for power ups, so have at least nine of those in case he’s resistant.

    Alright, everyone equip your wigs and fake noses.

    You guys linking to the genesis game are scrubs.

    The arcade game was much better!

    While you joke, this is probably the only IP in existance that would guarantee success (profit and longevity) regardless of how terrible the product was. Star Wars, Star Trek, Dungeons and Dragons, and even Cops and Robbers have absolutely nothing on these raving/insane fans.

    Kind of surprised their isn’t something MMOish out there already exploiting his death.

  • http://Website Wanderer

    I think the breakdown between “the best ever and I want his children”, “meh, he could sing okay”, and “OMG what happened to his nose?” is not what the creators think it is, and they’re not even considering “who was that?” at all. Also, how many of the “best ever” fans want to spend their time playing some kind of MMO instead of doing other MJ-obsessive activities?

    Wanderer:

    “the best ever and I want his children”

    Not as much as the other way around, methinks.

    I thought this was a joke.

    You can’t make this stuff up.

    I think this MMO will be revolutionary.

    You will start off rich and talented at level 1. Slowly, through courtroom battles and pointless spending sprees to fit out your Neverland mansion, you will lose all your money and talent, becoming a pale white shadow of your former self.

    At level 100 (max level), you will die and people shall forget the child molestation charges and remember you as a hero, with the exception of your family, who will trample all over your memory in a shameful stampede for cash.

    Personally, I shall not be playing Jacko himself. The lawyer class looks quite interesting and it means I can pvp everyone else and steal their cash.

    I think it’s sad that a man with talent was a pedophile that squandered a fortune. I guess sad-making varies.
