Nice. The bad guys won....for now. Good job Maxis. Can't wait until chapter 2!

Not a bad ending.

I get the impression this is the end of the ARG elements. Hope I'm wrong, but on the other hand the game itself is looking better and better.

Bit of an anticlimax...... Hope this keeps going

i was disappointed

i really doubt that this is it, there are too many loose ends, like the security levels to access the information or the pictures displayed when the words like alone or life were written

This was apparently done by the developers themselves, not a secondary agency that specializes in this sort of thing.

As they get closer to their release date, the developers are going to have less time to do this sort of thing.

So unless they do get an outside agency to do it, I wouldn't keep my hopes up.

Oh don't get me wrong; I do think it was impressive indeed. I'm just saying that the PMs might have different priorities.

And I know quite a few professional game designers that are familiar with ARGs.

For the record, I have reason to believe (although I can't prove it) that a lot of the Portal ARG-like stuff was in house as well.
