If you were thinking that, players would just draw the cards they wanted, when they wanted, off camera, that will not work. You have to scan your deck to your online profile before the match starts. The computer then randomly shuffles the cards for you, and randomly deals you a virtual hand. IF you try to play a card that is not part of your virtual hand, the game will not let you play it. I don't have a link to prove it, but I believe the guy said it in one of the interviews on GT. I am thinking players will just sort their decks by monster, spell or whatever, so the virtual cards can be easily found." http://forums.gametrailers.com/showthread.php?t=188493 |
I'm glad that they're thinking about cheating and are actively trying to prevent it, but this is pretty stupid. I mean really, what's the point of having the cards other than gimmick and a money maker? The game draws cards for you and tells you what's in your hand, you have to search through all your cards to find your hand when you "draw", and then the game just does everything for you. I really was excited about this game but every time I see anything about it I get less and less excited about it.
I've seen this game before it's called Magic: the Gathering Online except M:tG doesn't need the camera peripheal, has a better system, and is more known.
