Massive Multiplayer RTS

AVault has a lengthy write-up previewing Shattered Galaxy. A massive multiplayer RTS title in development by the guys at Nexon. Yeah can you believe that? A massive multiplayer game that isnt a FPS/RPG game. Pretty interesting stuff:

Battles typically last around 15 minutes, and focus on either one side's total annihilation or the capture of several locations on the map called Points of Contention. If one side leaves its units on a POC for about a minute, that point is captured. When all the POCs on a map are either captured by the attacking faction or successfully guarded by the defending faction, victory is declared and the winning side claims the territory on the world map.

  • Good news for anyone looking forward to 'Neocron'. Just saw this over at voodooextreme.

    "CDV Software Entertainment has announced today that have closed a deal to publish the upcoming massively multiplayer RPG, Neocron (thanks Neocron Central.) Slated for release later this year, here's a bit on the game (snagged from the game's official web site):

    Neocron is an action packed 3D MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) set in a post apocalyptic metropolis. Live a virtual life in the exciting world of the 28th century. The user becomes a citizen of Neocron and it`s up to him whether he wants to experience exciting adventures or just live a normal life in this virtual world.

    In related news, the Heise News-Ticker (in German, so you may want to Babelfish it) has posted up word that there are plans to tack-on an additional 300 players to the beta test in anticipation of the game's expected November release."
