Play Online writes: "You've read all about Huxley's story, design and features in the latest issue of play, containing details largely based on Webzen Korea's development perspective. As a companion piece to this article, we now present a US Huxley perspective courtesy of NHN USA's Project Managers, Andy Hong and Jerry Vahn. In the exclusive interview that follows, the US publisher of Huxley (PC) discusses its decision to sign the game and how it intends to market and support a massively multiplayer online shooter of Huxley's scale."
Player Affinity: "Although many MMO-style games try to ape World of Warcraft’s success and formula, there are relatively few quality FPS titles that venture into the MMO arena. Planetside was one moderately successful title in this vein, but often was regarded as too sterile and uncoordinated. Hellgate: London tried it as well to little triumph. With these remnants of titles still kicking around, is there any chance of a MMOFPS that gets it right? Hopefully, Webzen Inc.’s Huxley can fill those shoes. Huxley has been in development for several years and recently expanded to open beta; it will attempt to bridge the gap between modern shooters and the expansive world of MMORPGs like World of Warcraft."
Huxley, a first-person MMO, was first announced way back at E3 2005. The game utilized Unreal Engine 3 and was supposed to come to both Xbox 360 and PC. Things have changed since then, of course. Huxley has gone through numerous delays and the console version has been put on hold indefinitely.
A complete listing of released and upcoming MMO shooter/action games.
That is an incredible list of games with a lot of useful guides and content. THanks!
I am going to make my way through this entire list and be terrible at every game.
I'm 100% convinced that Huxley will NEVER be released. I first heard about this game in early 2005 and have been wanting it ever since.
