    Reading the synopsis, and being a big fan of the Ring trilogy, wtf has the game got to do with the film tbh. One is a horor about a girl with supernatural powers in Japan & the other
    "You will actually be exploring vast cities such as London and New York. This creates some really exciting opportunities for us as a developer, to actually set a massive online game in real-world cities."

    He added, "As I said, the game takes place in what is close to our own present time, but [players] will be battling creatures of darkness across the world and throughout time!"

    Exactly what I thought. I'm guessing that it may be more about the style of the game rather than the content.

    Then you have F.E.A.R. no?

    The premise of Ring is, you watch the video, the phone rings, spooky girl (more often than not) climbs out of TV & you die of fright.

    The dev says The Ring 'inspired' him, not that it's going to be like 'The Ring'. What exactly that means I have no idea.

    Looking forward to seeing some screenies of this though
