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.
Bright Hub: Now, I don't think many gamers would mind clones for one of the best selling action franchises of all time, so here is a list for some of the noteworthy MMOTPS games out there (and coming soon) that imitate Epic's Gears of War.
Huxley is far more UT than Gears. I wouldn't really call any of them a "clone" as obviously you cant clone a game will placing it firmly within a totally different genre. Inspired by, is probably a better way of putting it.
Huxley had a trailer E3 (July)2006 which suggests that development started months earlier.
Gears of War released four months later(Nov 2006).
I don't think they've changed their direction towards Gears of War since.
Like you said, more like UT than Gears of War.
Gears is third person, Halo and KZ are first person.
Have you even played shooters before?
This article sucks I still play the original gears if anything the new one got boring fast its all chainsaws and running and gunning. The first game is it no surprise was one of the top games played for year where the 2nd wasn't and hasn't sold as much as the original. So to say the second was an improvement is not true in my opinion it was a step back looks worse and plays worse.
