MMO !!FPS!!

**87x** · 05-23-2005, 05:11 AM

Hey now, I know this isn't late breaking news or anything like that, but I haven't seen anyone post about it and I think its going to be sweet. XBOX 360 is Comming out with a game called "Huxley" that is basically what it says in the Subject. A MMOFPS.

Link to a single site with the game on it.
http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3140908&did=1

Im pretty sure there are plenty more reviews on many more sites, I just figured I would set the idea first and let you decide on your own if you wanted to go out and explore the idea a little more.

I think its going to be bad-ass.

Hundreds?, whoa kids, Just think of 300 people running around together. You on the building with the Rocket Launcher. Blasting 2 or 3 of them down at the street. 50 people Wiped clean off. Then its time for the shit talking.

Wouldn't that be sweet.

Thoughts? Comments?

No, it wont
Because of campers and weapon whores it'll get really annoying

It'll go like this:
"Respawn-die-respawn-die-etc...."
You wont even be able to get a shot off

How do I know this?
Go play soldier of fortune with 128 people playing on the same server. Yeah... it gets hellish.

**87x** · 05-23-2005, 07:27 AM

yea.. well soldier of fortune is all about killing other people. This is more Quest based, killing other people as a side thing. Its not at all going to be like soldier of fortune. WAY bigger maps, Worlds even, That won't make it go like that. And there isn't weopon respawns, in the sense that you are talking about. You gain levels and can purchase(I think) new weopons. So even if you die, you come back with the same shit you had before.

Spawn kills?.. yea right. I'm almost positive they will implement some kind of safe ground so that you can't kill or be killed on it. Don't compare this to anything you have played before because it is the first of its kind.

**Starshot** · 05-23-2005, 07:34 AM

Well, it looks pretty decent

Then again this is WEBZEN's first game, so no one knows what to exspect...

From what I see, it's a huge mod of Unreal 3 for X-Box 360

I like how you say it's the first of its kind, yet the review mentions and compares it to Planetside on serveral occasions.

Of course it isn't Planetside, I should hope not, but it's deffinately not the first of its kind.

evilbutterfly · 05-23-2005, 07:49 AM

MMOFPS games aren't right for everybody, ya know. Like Planetside. Some people hate it, some people love it. I've never played it, so I don't know. Of course, this will be more than that, which is good. I can't wait to hear what it's like once it's out, see what all is added to make it a better MMO and whatnot. It'll give me ideas for what I'll do on down the line :P.

You bet.

suicidalmuskrat · 05-23-2005, 06:39 PM

sounds decent. too bad there's no way i'm going to buy a 360. but i like the idea, and if properly executed could be a helluva lotta fun.

**sleeplessdragn** · 05-23-2005, 09:55 PM

I've always wondered if it would be possible to create an MMOFPS, in the sense of creating a standard MMORPG pvp system but from a FPS point of view and battle system. And I mean including multi-classes, abilities, weapon and armor drops, the works, but all from an FPS point of view and no third person view functionality. I wonder if this is their aim with this game.

**87x** · 05-24-2005, 03:58 AM

i am anticipating this game to be a favorite of mine within the first week of it being released.

The only reason they compare it to planteside is because it is the closest thing to what this game is goin to be like. When making something new you describe the item for what it is, then you compare it to something that is kinda like what you made so people can better understand it and not have to imagine it entirely.

Saturos · 05-24-2005, 05:18 AM

With that logic, anything new can't be compared to anything made in the past. :O

But I will probably get this when this comes out on PC, I wouldn't mind getting away from the typical MMORPG setting. It has a lot of potential, I just hope it isn't ruined like the other games like this have been in the past.

Why?.. That logic explains that you can compare to things made in the past. It actually explains that your supposed to compare to things in the past so people can better understand what you are similarly going for with the product.

I hope this is a success because I love FPS's and I love the Idea of "Hundreds of people per server". Going into a cave or warehouse with like a 30 person army man handling some massive shit is going to be awesome.

Saturos · 05-24-2005, 11:12 AM

I was trying to get across the fact that if you're calling it the first of it's kind, it should not be possible to compare it to something else. Whatever, this is getting stupid.

It might also do you good to check into Auto Assault. It's not an FPS, but it's along the same lines as one. Shooting people vehicle to vehicle while on destructible terrain with the heart of an MMORPG makes for an interesting game. The beta was scheduled to come out a month ago, but was pushed back due to it's demand in Europe, so the release date it up in the air. Should be worth checking out.

chardish · 05-24-2005, 11:36 AM

MMOFPS will only be good if most people aren't your enemy. More tension, suspense. Not just "shoot everything that moves."

Tasuke · 05-24-2005, 04:55 PM

Imagine a LAN game of that with as many people as physically possible.
I'd get it for PC but I doubt I would get it for the 360.

**87x** · 05-25-2005, 03:33 AM

Well, try to think of it like this.

Get on any regular MMO- and start playing, Like WoW. Ok, now get out of that 3rd person overhead bullshit and get in there eyes. Replace all those magic spells and crazy sword/staff/other weopons and give yourself a gun. Now do all those missions except in really high detail with awesome rampage action.

That what im trying to think of it as.

evilbutterfly · 05-25-2005, 09:02 PM

Coolest thing that could ever be in MMO form:

Fully controllable medieval warfare. If you've ever played Ronin, a flash game, then you'll know what I mean when I saw mouse-controlled swordplay. Of course, it'd be better than Ronin, since that's just a flash game. But imagine sword fighting and having huge battles with 100s of people. Sure, you could be an archer, but shooting arrows would be made ridiculously diffficult, affected by wind and gravity and all that, so a lot of people would pick hand-to-hand combat. It's totally not practical, I'd just like crazy large-number battles with medieval people.

And Chardish has a point. The main thing, though, is that you can't just add more people to an FPS game and expect a good MMOFPS game. You have to expand it, take it in a new direction. The MMO I plan to make one of these days will involve much diplomacy. You can form alliances and teams and choose who you want to fight. You could be completely alone and just kill whoever you feel like it, or you could start a team and decide to battle any other particular team that's nearby. People could opt to join your team or make their own, or play it solo, or act as a mercenary and get hired out to whichever team pays the best. Basically, the players will have full control over everything. They will make the game, I'll just provide a means to do so.

**87x** · 05-26-2005, 06:06 AM

Screen shots of the game..

http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/gallery/1122/Huxley/p1/

I really doubt these are "in-game" footage pictures, and I REALLY HIGHLY doubt that these are finish product pictures either.

anyway.. Just something to look at.

nyuu-chan · 05-26-2005, 08:19 AM

Anybody remember this one game that sounded just like this.

It was called Planetside.

Remember it?

Didn't think so.

EDIT: Okay apparently people mentioned it in the topic already haha.

Anyway, Planetside was good at launch. Now it sucks absolute shit.
