Zach Sharpes from MMOBomb.com and Jordan from IGN.com sit down to discuss if MMOs can be successful again. This question stems from the recent cancellation of EverQuest Next and Fable Legends, as well as, the recent quarrels at Carbine relating to Wildstar. Console MMOs, or as Zach Sharpes calls them "Hybrid MMOs" (Destiny/The Division) are also discussed. Do you think MMOs can make a come back?
Justin van Huyssteen from NoobFeed writes - The Metaverse is a nebulous concept that has been floated about, by some, as the next big thing, and people often want to jump on board these kinds of things. Metaverse has been in the news a lot, but should it be in the news as often as it is? Or is it just another gimmick?
I have no interest in a metaverse, just give me a good single player game. And to answer your question: no, it isn't.
Thank god nfts are dead. Still kills me how dumb people were throwing their money around on that only to get slammed by massive inflation and am recession. Peak society.
Carbine Studios announced in September that the game would be shut down and that the studio would be closing. Since the announcement, players have been able to enjoy the full game without restriction and with a number of in-game events firing off for the last time.
WildStar offers epic high adventure, where players make their mark as Explorers, Soldiers, Scientists or Settlers and lay claim to a mysterious planet on the edge of known space.
Do you think they can be successful again? Or do you think "Hybrid MMOs" such as Destiny and The Division are the future?
Interesting video, I think that MMO's are having a hard time on PC, but console MMO's are doing great. Maybe this is where we will see more MMO's in the future and not on PC.
Yea dcuo was the last good mmo I put allot of time into. It felt vast and the gameplay felt different enough. Like zsharpes said, destiny and division feel pretty bare. One game I think that would make a great mmo depending on how it's done is gta.gta online already feels like a borderline mmo but I think they'd have to give us a straight forward reason as to what were playing for or a clear cut goal. because as it stands right now it just feels like it's a "casual fun" type of game.
