Third Life On The Way?

“Second Life is just a village,” sneers chief Yoick Randal Leeb-du Toit in the Melbourne Age, adding, modestly: “I’ve nearly finished building Rome.” Leeb-du Toit maintains that Second Life is rather low-res and that he likes to ‘stand there in the rain and watch the sun go down in World of Warcraft because it is so beautiful.’ He adds that Outback Online will feature graphics of the same calibre as World of Warcraft.

The low-res graphics of Second Life is something that always stood out to me. Is it a matter of good gameplay that makes the game successful, or addictive gameplay? Either way, it will be fun to see if this will prove to be actual competition, especially with so many already entranced by SL.
