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.
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.
MMOs shouldn't be on consoles anyway, ill try it on the pc
I'd be surprised if Huxley makes it out on PC let alone a console version.
Huxley looks like a huge game and after so many years its still not done on the PC.A 360 version might come out in 2011 judging from the slow progress
Huxley is vaporware.
And another one down
And another one down
Another one bites the dust
