IGN: GDC 09: Huxley 360 in Limbo

March 27, 2009 - Developers and publishers love announcing massively multiplayer online games for Xbox 360 early on in the dev cycle. By the end, though, they rarely wind up materializing. Such appears to be the case for Huxley, a MMO with a first-person shooter flavor.

You say mmo's shouldn't be on consoles but yet you can't come up with a rational reason.

And your explanation of his mistake makes no sense because you were suppose to close your quotes like this "it's" not like you did below:

"it's and not its"

Your explanation of his mistake makes no sense, because you started a sentence with a preposition and missed a comma before the word because, which starts its own extreme clause rather than a subordinate clause.

I found one old comment I wrote last year in my comments, there it is:

Wail, I tfinq I weel by dat dent bleu (Blue tooth!) headset sense eet loucks réel goude too mii. IMO

EDIT: So is my spelling correct?, I'm not sure

EDIT2: Honestly, do you think this bluetooth headest is compatible with cellphones? If no, then it's a bit frustrating, it's still slick.

it was about the Ps3 bluetooth headest; there here also was a feud in language.

I'd be surprised if Huxley makes it out on PC let alone a console version.

I posted some gameplay videos of the PC version earlier. http://www.n4g.com/NewsPend...

I don't know anything about the 360 port but at this point it doesn't seem like it's ever going to come out. Not that 360 owners should care 'cause in my opinion it looks meh.

Thanks for the link.

It pisses me off that all these MMO's get canceled. I'm still bummed about True Live Fantasy Online for the original Xbox. It makes no sense why FF11 is the only MMO on the 360. Its not like people aren't willing to pay to play. Surely 360 owners are used to LIVE fee's. Perhaps Gold members would get $5 dollars off a month...I digress

I was hoping Huxley would come out for the 360 just to see another MMO. I can't say that I've really embraced MMO's period so maybe a console MMO would do it. Guess we will wait and see if and when Age of Conan is put on hold/limbo. :-p

Glad there are a couple of MMO's coming out on the PS3 :-)

PSU (not PSO) is probably more indicative of the type of MMO devs will focus on for consoles. Looking at DC Online, Huxley, and APB it seems as if consoles will receive MMO experiences based more around action than the norm.

6 - these devs are so dumb
They should put the PC version on hold instead.

The PC market is over-saturated with MMOs. Huxley is not anything great compared to all the other PC MMOs already out there like Eve. however, if it was on the 360 it would be a big deal considering there are no next gen MMOs on consoles this generation.

Plus they will be competing with Bioware's Star Wars MMO, The Old Republic, which looks better. Huxley will fail just like Conan, Warhammer, LOTR and all the others.

screw Huxley... the only action-MMO's that matter in the near future are All Points Bulletin (APB- hope the rumors of it coming to PS3 are true), The Agency and DC Universe Online... oh and maybe Star Wars: The Old Republic

@blu

looks more like an MP shooter than an MMO in the traditional sense.. but yeah, im really looking forward to MAG

@pumpkin

yeah im not too sure on DC Universe... but im stoked for The Agency, i mean the game's AI contacts you on your mobile phone! how awesome is that!?

I agree with all the MMOs you listed except DC Universe looks pretty bad from what we've seen. That E3 footage didn't look much better than a Superman N64 on steroids. Champions online is being developed by the creators of City of Heroes and City of Villains which are already quality, popular MMOs on the PC.

Champions Online > DC Universe.

8 - Shame...
I thought it had potencial, funny things MMO's, they require much more use of the servers than say a FPS, I bet on 'onlive' they cost a lot more to rent, in fact who is goona want to play a MMO on 'onlive'? it would cost a fortune, MMO makers are a bit greedy I think, but who could blame them, WOW must make a lot of money.

there are few developers on 360 that are pushing for a more polished game and sacrificing to be away from the public, such as ubisoft's splinter cell, Remedy's alan wake, SoftMax's magna carta: Crimson Stigma, and one of mistwalker's newest title (which has yet to be detailed).

11 - I was first........
to tell everybody that Huxley wasn't going well, but people still wanted to add it to the 2009 list. Like a said before, I created a korean SSN to get into the beta. The game looked and played horrible and everybody knew it. That was like a year or two ago (that it has been in open beta in korea).

Now recently they threw the whole old build into the garbage and redid it. I haven't played the new one cause i don't care about huxley, but from what i can tell it plays and looks more like UT.

From what i played huxley is most likely gonna get trashed if they do not fix alot of things. I believe they should use a totally different engine (they are using the unreal engine right now)
