Huxley Screenshots

Looks great and stuff, best screens so far from huxley, but who the heck is webzen?! If this would be an id title I'd definitely be in, but with other developers I always get the feeling that all the patches will be bigger than the whole game. Well, can't wait for a 14-free trail. Should get bored after a week... ohh, wait, no, Quake Wars should be out by then... heh, ok, no huxley trail-version for me ;]

HAHA the US devs are jealous
live in learn

I'm not excited

What is with the horrible black levels in these shots?

Next up, HUXTABLE, a MMOFPCSS (Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Cosby Show Shooter)!

Why's this called Huxley?

I think this will work better then planetside because it has a PvE component. That makes it much more realistic to have things like mission terminals and a workable economy.

Perhaps someday in the future, all PvP MMO FPS games will work. But to get there we either need some more "failures" along the road, or some games where PvE is the primary game mode and PvP can be somewhat of a Sandbox. EQ2 and WoW both run on this model, and I think the next generation of MMORPG's will benefit a lot from the lessons learned (they'll probibally learn even more from guild wars, but that's another thing...).

I think for an MMOFPS to be successful, it has to play more like WoW or EQ2, where small groups (5-10 dudes) attempt to accomplish specific "quests" or goals as the primary gameplay, with the occisional content involving larger groups (say 15-30?) doing very large "raid" type missions. And once in a while have a really big GM event that brings out the zerg.

A PvE FPS can do this with some varation of the SWG model, with mission elements spawning as the party arrives on the scene. You could even spawn the entrance to an instance zone and maybe some perimter guards and stuff. Even raid content could work like this if the developer does it just right. Of course, there's always random enemy patrols running aroud too, from foot patrols all the way up to tank companies and air sweeps (maybe depending on zone?)

Planetside, on the other hand (and I haven't played it in a long time), is all zerg, all the time. The only real goal in the game (besides leveling up) is continent locks, which is neither small nor short-term. I realize some people really like the game and it's style, but I think most players would be happier with something more like twitch-WoW.

I could really go on and on with my personal silly ideas of what would make a good MMPFPS but this is too long as it is.

Why won't people take their screenshots *with* Antialiasing?...

No AA on a screenshot ruins it for me, especially on shots like these that are otherwise great.

Why there is no depth in Unreal3 games?
It all looks flat , even UT2007 demo showed at German Game Convention.

When I compare the Doom engine against the Unreal Engine, I can't help but think of how iD always pioneers the next level engine first, but with less of a color palette. Doom 3's green/grey/blue scheme is like the brown-ass unique Quake palette from 95, while Unreal 1 was a pretty rainbow.

I know it's probibally the compression, but the one with the evil chick looks like she was cut and paste into the scene.

Unreal 3 Engine Tech Req.

How well do you guys think (best guess) Unreal 3 engine games will run on p4 3.0 (northwood), 1gig DDR 400, 7800 GS? If there has been any informed speculation by dev teams or offical Epic rec. then I missed it....

Im not too worried about doom3 engine stuff (Quake Wars etc.) but I dunno about Unreal3. I'd like to have playable frames on this box and an full system upgrade could be a ways off (broke college student).

If there is no "/disco" Emote I'm not buying!

looks like gears of wars

people in the future wear so much stuff.

Hey, forget about MMOFPS, when are they coming out with a MMOFOS?! ...or the sequel to that genre, the BBAD MMOFOS?

I am just not excited by screenshots anymore. Let me know if an interesting game comes from this.

This looks awesome to me. Never played a MMOFPS before, but thats something that really interests me. Clicking squares on my screen over and over to attack is lame compared to aiming and shooting.

Looks gorgeous, but very unreal-esque. :)

It's interesting to see how many games often end up looking like the games they're based on (speaking engines here). There are a fuckload of similiarities between half-life 2 and sin: episodes, and the 3 big next gen unreal games also look similar.

Not that this is a bad thing, but it is as if the artists and designers end up inspiring each other, unintentionally. Obviously, it's also related to the engine tech, and the fact that all 3 (next gen unreal) games use the same render techniques.

hmmm, not bad...

Huxley sounds like some stuffed toy that kids play with.

HUXLEY IS GONNA OWN!!!!!

Will my 3800+ run this game if i update to 2 gigs of ram and the 8000 series of geforce when those come out. Actually any unreal engine 3 game for that matter. I'm hoping it would.

So besides looking at the media which looks really nice but having seen no actual gameplay stuff or read any real articles on it is this something I should be interested in because it's going to bring some interesting features or just the regular mmo experience? I see around here that it's going to be and FPS which is cool but so was planetside and that didn't do much for me. Also will you be able to play as those creatures?

Is it just me or is the unrealengine3 looking more and more like the unrealengine2,5 for every screenshot I see??

*Starts jacking it*

Man unreal3 engine is so very hot.

This game has the potential to be bloody brilliant!!! Lets hope they dont screw it up.
From what I've read theyre heading in the right direction.

this game, i dont know there is something about it. if it works it will be great
it looks amazing... true it does look like gears of war but that isnt a bad thing and they do have different artistic styles.. this have a more asian feel to it where gears of war is more of a gothic feel. anyway i cant wait for either of them.
